How do I tell how old a Louis Vuitton bag is?

Dating your Louis Vuitton bag can be as easy as finding the date code on the bag. Since the early 1980s Louis Vuitton has included date codes in their bags and on most of their accessories. The date code tells you where the bag was made and the month and year. Because it’s a code there’s a trick to reading it. The manufacturing site will have a two letter code which you’ll have to research to translate. Then there will be four numbers: the first number and the third will give you the month and the second and the fourth number will tell you the year.
