I just tried the app on my two newest bags and I get nothing ? Can someone help? I am familiar with readers ....

[@Handbagholic]

@@shaaronchampagne5748 did you hold it there for a while sometimes it can take 20-30 seconds and try different areas. Don't move it around fast, hold it on the spot and slowly move around

How can’t I know how much can’t I get mine fix

[@shaaronchampagne5748]

I got it working. Great tool and you can save it in the app!

[@scruffyo4460]

THANK YOU! I just downloaded and tested it and it works! It worked on my Boétie pm and my Clemence wallet. It didn’t work on the largest of my Pochette Kirigami, I will try it again though.

Awsome just scanned my zippy xl and taiga avenue sling works perfect

[@Handbagholic]

Great to hear ✨👌

[@PinkyPie07]

Do the tags all have the same tag type and technologies available?

[@termitesarenotgoodforhomes]

I don't know what took LV so long to embed rfid chips. The thin film rfid chips have been around for over 15 years. I can't remember which companies I suggested this to. I would have imagined the information embedded would have been some form of ownership history kept in the LV database. Not sure how this would be updated though. If not this will only slow down counterfeiters.

Steph your profile picture looks so so pretty and my sister also loves your profile picture so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you have a wonderful day always 🤗💫💗🌸

[@Handbagholic]

Aww Mansoor thank you and I hope you're well. Your support does not go unnoticed you're amazing!

[@termitesarenotgoodforhomes]

4:37 You revealed the serial number. I found an LV at a recycling plant that was close to perfect. Put the code in your code checker and it was made in the 10th week 2088...lol

[@So_stopit]

Is this the same thing as the built in electronic range chip?

[@carrino15]

Not sure if it is a work around to get the bag in for repair to know if it is authentic. You see, i am afraid they would do like Hermes would, which is to not be able to give you the bag back again should they deem the bag not authentic.

[@icedteamama176]

Does LV track bag sales by microchips’ serial numbers (for repairs/returns etc.)? Thank you.

[@lifeisbeautiful7464]

Thank you for sharing 🤝

[@Handbagholic]

No problem 👍

Amazing channel.

Thank you!

[@renimcsweegan2482]

Hi, I’ve just purchased Vavin PM Damier from a legit reseller website, and the bag has no date code, so I follow your advice on downloading the NFC tools, and it works! It shows the date code from the back of the bag just like yours, I save the code, but when I tried to retake again it gave me different code number, do you have any idea why? I’m a bit confuse and concern. Thank you

[@damma5343]

Yeah Mine to? Wrf

[@레이몰로]

Mine too 😳

[@mangojuuls]

Date code shows made in 17th week of 2018 but also has a microchip. Also bought at a REAL LV store in New Zealand. pls help i is confuse

[@Handbagholic]

Hey, don't panic. Some of the bags have both before they switched over to just microchips

[@suefung7651]

I visited China recently and they can now produce replicas with microchips.

[@ascott259]

NFC Tools doesn't work on all phones. Their website has a list of all the phones it will work with. Sadly, mine wasn't one of them. 🥴

If it has microchip that means it is authen 100%? Fake bag doesn’t have builtin microchip right?

[@Handbagholic]

No that’s not what I said.

[@MiguelRodriguez-th4zf]

@@Handbagholic my tabs on the outside of my monogram canvas bag are more round than diamond shaped, it was a gift but other bags I’ve seen online have outer diamond shaped tabs

[@allan54321]

anybody can put an rfid tag inside the bag. . the tag is useless without it being tied to a database. does LV have a database you can cross check? also beware rfid tags can be cloned. so they can just clone a legit one in the database and put it in all the copy bags.

[@Handbagholic]

Yes I mention that this is not a way to authenticate a bag, it's just how to scan them. If you take the bag into LV I think they can see it on the database, they use this info for repairs.

[@SRRMCS]

nonsense post about inflated price bags. bag cost $150 to produce. sickening

[@flaviofernandeslima5770]

Good night beautiful, how are you?

[@emy0514]

Thank you for posting this. I recently purchased a LV item from a reseller. The canvas feels a little rubbery and I was starting to doubt the bag's authenticity. I then remembered you posted this and with your help, I found the chip on the bag. It makes me feel so much better. Now if only I can figure out why my canvas feels different from other bags I have, like it has a coating or something. :). Thanks.

[@NeverKnow-c7m]

Does the serial number change everytime u scan?

[@wilmabh2301]

[@annebarba6606]

It did with mine!!

[@emy0514]

@@annebarba6606 I later found out the person I bought it from has conditioned the canvas as if it were leather.

[@lifeisgood036]

Do wallets also have tags? I bought a pocket organizer secondhand and downloaded the NFC app but nothing was read

[@MagicMonthly]

So the forums online say that a chip does not automatically mean authentic. So can a CA authenticate for sure with their chip reader?

[@Handbagholic]

Correct chips can be faked also so they aren’t a good way to authenticate a piece. LV won’t authenticate a bag but yes they may agree to scan the chip - they will definitely scan if you take it in for some work to be done on the piece

[@KayRobinsonElliott-nq6br]

Thank you for this extremely useful video Steph! I believe Chanel also now microchip their bags which had made me very nervous about buying anything pre-loved. Now, thanks to you, I know what to do. 😊

[@emmeau]

Why does the serial number always change when you scan it ?

[@mcwilliams9113]

Same here

[@fordcute]

I always Use the NFC tools for buying preloved bags and some of LV bags have microchipped & date code on the year 2019 up and also when you scan it again the serial code will change.

[@cunninghamkelsey]

I noticed the serial number changing as well with each scan! Is this normal?!

[@shannyc570]

@@cunninghamkelseyyes why is this?

[@richardcrimp5056]

My guess is the fake one remains the same. Maybe 🤔

[@louisfleurdelis8941]

I took my Alma bb that had a microchip to the boutique and they scanned for me and gave me the date code. My sales associate had order the bag for me online so it was send to my house that’s why I never had the day code before if you order online you can always bring the item back and o the store and they will scanned and give you all the information you need.

[@JohnandSuzi]

But the chip readers only show that there’s a chip. The actual date codes and serial info is not viewable by anyone other than LV.

[@pamela3722]

I bought a Louis Vuitton bag from them. So I will try the app on my bag. I’m just curious. My husband also bought me a used ratty looking suitcase. That is a Louis Vuitton. It needs work done to get it fixed. So I’m going to check it also. To make sure I can get it fixed. Thank you for this information.

[@camilleporta1455]

Just as an FYI, you can’t have a bag repaired in LV if it was not bought in their boutiques and under your account. This is what the SA told me recently, a couple of weeks ago, when I bought a bag from there.

[@personalme2717]

My SA told me that any LV bag can be repaired. People receive them as a gift so that would be awful if someone turned you away

[@camilleporta1455]

@@personalme2717 I’m just relaying what I’ve been told and this was just a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps it’s country-specific (although I don’t know why this would be the case) since my SA in the US didn’t tell me about their repair policy. And my most recent bag was bought in Asia.

[@Handbagholic]

This might be country specific as you say but not the case when I’ve spoken to LV. They will take bags not bought under my account.

[@emy0514]

Hi, I live in the US and recently had a bag repaired by LV that I bought from Rebag. I did the whole thing via the app. So maybe it's best just to avoid SA's and initiate the request with the repair service directly. Hope this helps.
