If you’ve bought a Louis Vuitton item produced after the 1st March 2021, the item will likely have an RFID tag inside of it. However, these microchips are tiny, they’re small in size and thin as paper, they are also often placed under the lining of the bag and therefore cannot be seen.

How do I authenticate an old Louis Vuitton bag?
If your vintage bag has the original tags, make sure they come in a pair. They should be ivory white with a dark brown letter and black barcode.

Can I check my Louis Vuitton serial number?
Always look for the serial code on your Louis Vuitton bag and make sure it matches the ‘made in’ tag. For example, if your bag says ‘Made in Spain’, it should feature a serial code from Spain (e.g. CA). Date codes aren’t hard to fake therefore it’s important you still get your bag authenticated if you have doubts.
