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 you tell if a Louis Vuitton is Real by serial number?

Always look for the serial code on your Louis Vuitton bag and make sure it matches the ‘made in’ tag. For example, if your bag says ‘Made in Spain’, it should feature a serial code from Spain (e.g. CA). Date codes aren’t hard to fake therefore it’s important you still get your bag authenticated if you have doubts.

How do I check my Louis Vuitton code?

The date code can be stamped on a leather rectangular tag inside, onto the lining or to the vachetta (white leather) piece. To find a date code in Neverfull, Speedy, Pochette Metis and other popular LV handbags, visit our Louis Vuitton Date Code Guide.

What color is the inside of a real Louis Vuitton bag?

Authentic LV bags will always have a yellow-mustard colour stitching, whereas on replica bags, it is often a bright yellow stitching that is used. The stitching on most classic Louis Vuitton bags is white thread made from linen that is later dyed yellow and reinforced with beeswax.
