Before buying a vintage Louis Vuitton bag, take some advice from the expert

Li Pamp, founder of Deconet.com and Christian Quaglia, expert on vintage accessories, on how to identify a original vintage Louis Vuitton bag.

[@avandyke143]

This makes me realize how special these bags are.

[@nelf4830]

Lol

[@eveyluvvs]

Excellent interview! Still good even in 2018. It made me admire Louis Vuitton more.

[@dancingnancie423]

Loved the dreamy look he got when he said that the patina tells the story of the bag. 🥰

[@francesvitug7646]

Me too. He is passionate about his craft

[@candleinthewind4339]

wow that vintage is fabulous! im in love with vintage lvs

[@natashasobieski9893]

He created canvas to keep water away.. nice.. but what about watermarks on vachetta..? 😂

[@jdotcurtis]

I swear i'm ready to just cover my vachetta in water and get it over with!

[@Kay-jc3ub]

@@jdotcurtis Best response written. (Up to the user if they want to.)

[@krisjohn6977]

I painted my alma vachetta baby pink😂

[@ArtyMac]

The vachetta can always be replaced; the canvas can’t. As long as canvas is in good shape Louis Vuitton will replace or repair the vachetta. However, if the canvas is damaged, Louis Vuitton won’t even touch it. Damaged canvas is pretty much the “death” of a Louis Vuitton item.

That was interesting to hear. That's the haters thing, it's just vinyl covered card board.

[@fernasmr4143]

This video was just lovely. Thank you.

[@Dorche76]

I have a deauville and I love it!!!! To me it's so classic and it makes a great bag as a purse!!!!

[@amber.cartomancer]

Me too!

[@keithalanwilhelm1952]

I enjoy your talk on LV bags.

[@slymshadi2360]

I have a couple of vintage bags! I LOVE THEM

[@zayradagiobarajas8352]

Watching this video makes me proud to have my Speedy 30 in Monogram been having it since 2012 & in two years she will be considered vintage 😌

[@SummerofKittyLove]

Why did they change the quality of the canvas? They are not as thick and strong anymore

[@kac4klhc977]

Tinker Diggens bc they would crack a little easier. The newer canvas is more flexible and soft.

[@danh.2270]

I got so many 80´s and 90´s LV items and the canvas is awesome , the only thing whats cracking is the leather.. thats it

[@samanthab1923]

Kac4 KLHC That is true. I got my doctors bag in 77.

[@shawnwilson407]

Watching in June of 2022! Love LV. This was interesting 😎

[@FromJenwithHope]

Ahhhh!!! I love listening to this stuff! 😍😍😍

[@naughtiasteffano9885]

I own many lv bags, clothing, accessories ect. They're impeccable and truly feel great.

[@Portia620]

This is amazing! Makes me sick to see someone else profiting from fakes. I wish we could stop fakes in fashion. 😞

[@glorisgonzalez.detodounpoc2934]

Not all the people have thousands of dollars to buy the real thing. God bless the ones can but the rest of the people they have other choices if they like the brand . Besidr the luxury stores buy the products cheap from the makers and sell them very expensive .

[@quintintarantino2485]

I was really let down when I went to the Vegas Louis Vuitton store for the museum tour explaining why they don't use real leather anymore but over all the art and just hearing the history of some pieces was amazing I would recommend making an appointment to visit the shop if you are interested in LV

[@dboyfff]

I wouldn't say he was an artisan for richer family....he was an artisan for travelers and the working class etc. The deal is the ideas for the working class, executives, corporations and travelers are not the same, the resources often limited, and the work ardous (as in, stressful..will the supplies get a delay or be stuck at the duanne etc...or due to weather conditions)...remember it's hand crafted...

[@Stylishdoc]

This video was very helpful.

[@josiegabriel1503]

just a correction. The first and third is the week not the month. So it was created on the 5th week (January) of 1995.

[@kholawaddy-jones3242]

Josie Gabriel Not on this one. LV changed the first & third numbers to week around 2007. So this bag being made in 1995 would mean the first & third numbers are the month. So May 1995 is correct.

[@CaramelPrincesa]

Very informative! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@HeyPeach1296]

"Quality Never Lies"

[@evabgood]

French company used nickle without logo brass rivets

[@MaeSekou]

I loved the LV French company speedys

[@phototristan]

I always thought it was leather but it's actually canvas?

[@harryc266]

Depends on the bag you buy you can get many diffrent Kinds starting at the canvas working your way up to leather

[@thatxonexguy5438]

Pvc coated canvas if i recall correctly, so its mainly just plastic. Retards will pay $1k+ for this lol.

[@lc9245]

Seams, locks, zips are all easy ways to tell authentic luxurious goods from imitations.

[@nereidaromney]

On some vintage bags Early 80s the date code the first two number is the year and the second two the month.

[@Adamprivate678]

What classifies a Louis bag as "vintage"? What years are selling for a premium?

[@pittivintageveganbags]

great infoThanks!

[@drylaundry]

1995 is not that old How about the 60's or 80'sLV ?

[@jamesvanisikupu]

The brand is over 150 years old....

[@bluesavvy92]

LV only started using date codes in the early 80's

[@milehijules]

It would be nice if you could update your dating technique. I have a brand new Metis that reads AR1105 and according to your authentication system, my bag would've been made in Oct of 2015. It's April 2015 now, so the "10" (first and third numbers) would either indicate the week made or their system has changed again. I purchased mine from Louis Vuitton directly, so I know it's authentic, but the dating is not consistent with various authenticating videos/blogs I've seen. Also, some of the brass is not stamped in some of the newer bags - the Metis rings that hold the canvas where it's gathered at the top is not stamped. So.......

[@Evelienfh]

+Julie J This video is made about vintage items. In the past Louis Vuitton items had a date code that consisted out of the month and year it was made. So for this video they are correct, as they are talking about vintage pieces. If you want to know the current dating technique, you should not watch a video about vintage items. The current pieces have a date code consisting out of the week and year it was made in. So your item was made in the 10th week of 2015.

[@luxaholicanonymous2577]

Certain bags have different coding systems so that way fake manufacturers will have a hard time getting it correct

[@codemanxposed1157]

ILL BUY 10 OF THOSE

[@sherriwojo2852]

Do all Louis Vuittons have a date code.What about the antique items & Is it always 4 numbers or sometimes 3 numbers

[@danh.2270]

"look at the Seams" ==> not true , they sold like Fendi in the 80´s , items where they didn´t made any quality checks cause so many people wanted LV and other luxury brands so they sold everything.

[@louisvuittonoutlet8930]

why not try authenticlouisvuittonbags? I've bought one Neverfull tote last month and it's so pretty. Highly recommended!

[@suzyrouman1913]

thought sp means it was made in Spain !

[@iamfilipinas]

No, there are different letter codes for the countries. France would sometimes be a VI or an SP or an AR depends on the model of the bag. Surprisingly none of the Spain codes even use SP! :)

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

France, Suzy. I don't try to remember because it will always change to keep counterfeiters on their toes.

[@akinsgeorge]

what kind of microfiber is used inside the lv bag

[@Z_3D]

Akins Alexander alcantara

[@maryneorozco7048]

Not all their products are perfect my speedy had loose treads coming from the bottom that I never noticed at the store till I got home.. lately their products are not top quality...

[@luxaholicanonymous2577]

Unfortunately Louis Vuitton quality control has gone downhill

[@marcusmeetsworld]

what is the bag called with the monogram print

[@renatleongardus467]

sounds like there are in Sweden.

[@daisy6711]

The older LV’s were better made

[@samanthab1923]

Everything is.

[@TheNeverendingStoryM]

I love real Louis Vuitton, but those tipps to identify a real one are always ridiculous. I‘ve seen fakes which have everything what he pointed out. I‘m looking for tipps which are usefull.

[@noname-ww4dv]

Here's a tip...buy from lv. Then you wouldn't need any tips.

[@ludocontacto]

''Jura'' is not a town sir it´s a ''département''!!

[@chachie0511]

Blurry video 😅

[@legacydesignervintagehandb9155]

The sound in the backround is so annoying!

[@marvsship4447]

what is quality if it is so heavy bag oh no hahaHAHAHAHA

[@kennethlimkl91]

He do not know how to read the code. "05" is the 5th weeks of the year. Is not may!

[@geliiee]

No. The first and the third number always represent the year but somewhere in 2007 they have changed it and since then they would mean the week. The bag you see in the video was made in 1995, that's before 2007 so the 05 does mean the fifth month.

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

Angel Mass, you are correct. I think the date code reading will always changed to confuse the counterfeiters.

[@NYCBrat]

Authentic for sure, an LV date code of VI8910... can you interpret that? Clearly 81 is neither a week or a month.

[@hl6016]

He seems not very confident... not very consistent when explaining...

[@tonysoprano655]

all I heard was "ehm eh ehmmm ehh" this dude can't talk

[@maylee8297]

This guy doesn't even know what he's talking about. The 1st and 3rd digit of the date code refer to the WEEK of the year, Not the month. Therefore SP 0955 means that the bag was produced in France in the 3rd week of 1995.

[@HypnoticLashStudio]

I believe that's the new way to date. I think they changed it to the way you are saying in 2000. before that it was the month and year. Now its the week and year.

[@maylee8297]

@@HypnoticLashStudio in that case, I'm the one who doesn't know what I'm talking about. ;)
