How do you check a Louis Vuitton bag code?

All date codes are typically located within the interior of a bag or small leather good. They are directly embossed into the fabric, or they can be embossed or printed—depending on the factory and model—on a rectangular leather tab sewn into an interior seam (this is the most common method).

Do all LV bags have a serial number?

Contrary to popular belief, Louis Vuitton handbags (excluding luggage and rare limited edition pieces) do not have serial numbers. Rather, Louis Vuitton handbags have “date codes” stamped either on interior tags or directly on the interior linings.

How can I tell if my Louis Vuitton is real leather?

Accumulating marks, scuffs, and tiny scratches are common for authentic tanned leather, referred to as “Vachetta,” which takes on a darker color with use. Genuine Louis Vuitton natural leather always has crisp, clean color glazing, so you know it is counterfeit if there is any reddish color along the edges.

Do fake bags have serial numbers?

Check to see if your bag has an inside tag with a brand name and a serial number on it (because almost all authentic purses will). The inside tags should be hand-stitched or stamped into the leather. In some cases, designers also include authenticity labels on the outside of the bag.
