Sorry cherrygirl, but your bag is not authentic.

cherrygirl139 · October 5th, 2008, 07:47 PM

Here's the stamp, It's authentic i need to know what style it is

juicyholicmum · October 5th, 2008, 07:50 PM

sorry hon its not authentic, the date code is all wrong, date codes have 2 letters and 4 numbers.... unless they were made in the 80's...

cherrygirl139 · October 5th, 2008, 07:54 PM

actually it looks like a B instead of a 3 on the date code

VivaLaJuicy · October 5th, 2008, 07:57 PM

^^^ It's not authentic.... The date code is wrong... the "leather" tag that reads "Louis Vuitton" is way off as well... Did you cousin pay a lot for it?

vuittongirlxoxo · October 5th, 2008, 07:58 PM

All authentic multicolor bag datecodes end in a 3 or a 4.

Zombiegirl · October 5th, 2008, 07:58 PM

That date code is wrong and very messed up.

Sorry it is fake.

What do you mean by that?

So what about MC bags that were made this year?

cherrygirl139 · October 5th, 2008, 08:05 PM

she did pay alot..thanks everyone!

vuittongirlxoxo · October 5th, 2008, 08:07 PM

As far as I know, all MC bags no matter when they were made should end in a 3 or a 4. I could be mistaken, but I am pretty sure that's true.

I just googled it to check and found this also from an authenticate LV guide:

"Every single multicolor item should have a date code that ends in the number 3 or 4 with no exceptions, Cherry Blossom for instance!"

i've seen some louis vuittons on ebay with the same stamping on top of each other

Zombiegirl · October 5th, 2008, 08:12 PM

So I wonder how the date code reads for bags made this year? I have a MC ipod case I wonder if it is the same? I will go check it out. LOL

There are a lot of fakes on ebay! On authentic Vuittons, the stamping is not overlapping. Hope this helps!
