[@YesminaSoniyas-w9i]

I'm very happy with the *rrcopys* package. Beautiful storage compartments. Looks and feels like leather. The shoulder straps and zipper are of high quality. Very happy with the purchase.

Hi Im just wondering, I have a VINTAGE petit noe. But it doesnt have a date code. is this possible? I got mine around mid 90’s maybe. Hope you can reply. Thank you

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Have you tried looking on the inside part of the vacchetta leather, where the straps join the bag with its hardware?

[@jolannafarmer]

Thanks so much

[@adriankristanto3381]

For saumur bag, does it always the code in small leather tag or it could be printed in the leather?

[@jessicarivera4302]

Do you know if 1984 is early 80s or mid 80s? Considering it makes s difference in whether it's numbers only or numbers and letters. Thanks!

[@OPAVINTAGE]

I would say early 80s. It is my knowledge that during that period lettering sometimes was even printed separately from the 3 digits, and I am also quite sure that initial lettering application was irregular during the first years, this is why it is difficult to have an absolute certainly about the exact year start of the procedure. Anyhow, we have created a "DATECODE READER" which is free of charge, and was made for all of us to easily and quickly spot year and country of production: datecode.ophertyciocci.com/.

[@alexdelacruz3543]

Cant find mine on my Damier graphite Pixel Keepall Bandouliere 50. Its a limited bag so unsure where its located.

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Send us a few images of the inside so we might give you a few suggestions...

Hi, I have this LV saint cloud monogram, but it doesn't have a code. I have read some articles that some of saint cloud vintage doesn't have a code before.

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Hi Joanne. I think this could be... even through on classic monogram vintage Saint Cloud's, data code is imprinted on the tan leather, near one of the top corners on the inside... and it is difficult to spot. I have here in front of me a 3 digit code with a V.I. ending., which is a few steps later than the ones with no code. I would definitely reccomend to authenticate it with a 3rd party international authenticator, this would give much more value to your vintage bag!

[@missjude2856]

Hi, appreciate if you can share where to look the code for Perforated Musette shoulder bag (production 2006) , please ? thank you

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Check out alongside (vertically) the inside of the internal pocket, same suede color tone...

[@missjude2856]

Got it, perfect. Thanks again 👍🏻

[@DJH3006]

I obtained a used Louis Vuitton but it bears the “custom order” date code “AAS” followed by a 5 digit numerical code, any ideas?

[@OPAVINTAGE]

I always suggest to have bags verified through third party authenticators. Code reader gives only a rough idea, but is definitely not enough to give confidence with regards to authentication. You can contact us from our store homepage, we will be happy to suggest some professional authenticators we have worked, and work with.

[@kaseys4145]

I have a bag and use to have some wallets and smaller purses that my grandfather brought home from the dump he worked at back in the late 80’s . Everything looks authentic but on the inside the date label was cut out in almost an exact half circle shape. Don’t know if it’s real…

[@ritajohnson4060]

Hello can you please tell me where the serial number is on 2002 vintage Solonge bag

[@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek]

If my LV Keepall has .V.I 872, how old is it? I understand it’s made in France

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Hi Alek! You are welcome to check it out yourself using our FREE LV datecode finder: datecode.ophertyciocci.com/ Very handy tool! Not for authentication, but useful quickly find date and country of manufacture.

[@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek]

@@OPAVINTAGE can I ask your professional opinion. I’m about to buy a second hand bags for my misses with the following code .V. I 872. I also noticed that the brass button on the identity tag isn’t stamped with Louis Vuitton. I know it’s early 80s but from what I’ve read plus your video, all buttons are stamped. Can you confirm Thank you

[@OPAVINTAGE]

@@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek why don't you ask the seller to provide a certificate of authenticity from a third party professional authentication service? All sellers should now provide such service, paid or free of charge. In this way you would definitely be safer...

[@OPAVINTAGE]

At least this is what we do, when selling vintage & luxury accessories - www.ophertyciocci.com

[@bee3027]

Thank you. Do you know where the date code would be on the Josephine wallet. I am thinking about buying a pre-loved one but I am so afraid with all the fakes out there in the market. This one is on Poshmark.

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Have the seller authenticate it from a third party authentication service! We use Entrupy for 90% of the items we sell, free of charge.

Where to find the code in Josephine mini lin bag

[@filigreez]

Hi, please please i need your help! Is it true, that LV vintage bags from 1980 or older did not have data code? And from which year is the LV SENLIS? I have bought LV SENLIS at a second hand store and they told me, LV bags which are older then 1980 did not have data code! Please help me to find it out!!! Greetings from Germany

[@OPAVINTAGE]

[@filigreez]

OPHERTY CIOCCI please can you tell me from which year the LV SENLIS could be?my SENLIS DID NOT HAVE A DATA CODE. Thank you for the answer

[@OPAVINTAGE]

@@filigreez Could be a discountinued model which started back in the 80s and then was reissued in the later years. For this kind of answer, your best bet would be Louis Vuitton direct.

[@robertahosey9765]

I purchased a emilie wallet from the LV website but it’s not in the indicator on any sites. VM0211

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Maybe because it is very contemporary and most websites did not update this last years with new codes 👍

[@robertahosey9765]

@@OPAVINTAGE thank you. I even called LV and they said date codes are not used as an indicator of authenticity. If I purchased from their website rest assured my item is authentic.

[@OPAVINTAGE]

@@robertahosey9765 Re: LV website - makes absolute sense (for obvious reasons) Re: date codes not being indicator of authenticity: it is correct, even though many use it for vintage items as a "start point" for authenticity checks.

[@rhodalagrimas732]

Can I buy the speedy one?

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Hi Rhoda, we have 2 Speedy 35 avalable on our website: www.ophertyciocci.com/search?type=product&options[prefix]=last&q=speedy*

[@lujaenhfc4338]

Does that mean that if the bag doesnt have a code it is considered fake?

[@OPAVINTAGE]

No. We've tried to explain this in every post; I always suggest to make your considerations as a whole, and not by only focusing on 1 detail. If you want more certainty, you may need to ask for professional authentication. There are a lot of services which do that. We offer third party authentications but only for the bags we sell.

[@DP-ig1lu]

The first bag would not be accepted pawnshops in the philippines they say its fade .signs of usage what u don't accept used they say no its just to fade like you cant clean it their were also other customer who has omega watch they rejected it because they say they don't accept that kind of series anymore it really destroys the name of luxury brands that it is a investment to buy one it degrades its name

[@Nicoleiia]

There's no date code on my petit noe???? Is it fake?

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Nicoleiia hi :-) not necessarily. It could well be a vintage bag produced before the start of the date codes. Want to send us a few pictures to see if we can help? You can do it from the chat or the form from our homepage.

[@Nicoleiia]

@@OPAVINTAGE Yes, I will send pictures. It looks authentic and old, but the date code is NOWHERE and am a little concerned. I just received the bag yesterday and was bought from an online consignment shop.

[@OPAVINTAGE]

Nicoleiia I am sure it will be fine!

[@Nicoleiia]

@@OPAVINTAGE Lol. I know its just a bag, and I am NOT returning it so if I got duped, oh well. I just wish I knew the date of the bag. The grommets look old and are slightly oxidizing because they look like they are made of brass. So, there is a slight amount of green around some of the grommets.

[@jaredgg5623]

Poor

[@OPAVINTAGE]

I am sorry you don't like it :-(
