  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    How you can tell how old a Louis Vuitton trunk is varies based on whether or not it has a serial number. Trunks made starting in 2000 have a six-digit serial number consisting of two characters separated from a group of four characters by a hyphen. In the grouping that appears after the hyphen, the second and fourth numbers tell you the year of production, while the first and third numbers correspond to the week that the trunk was produced. For example, 1221 would mean that Louis Vuitton made the trunk during the 12th week of 2021. If your trunk has a serial number in a different format, experts recommend contacting Louis Vuitton directly for assistance with dating. You will usually need to provide images of your trunk and proof of purchase. For antique and vintage trunks that lack a serial number, look for the address of the retailer that sold them printed on a label inside. You can then research when this retailer was in business to get a rough idea of your trunk's age. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert assist you with the dating process. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Louis Vuitton trunks.
