Date code
Louis Vuitton's factory and date stamp, used from the 1980s to 2021.
A Louis Vuitton date code is a stamp of letters and digits giving the factory and the date of production. Fashionphile notes it is not a unique serial. Stamped codes ran from the early 1980s until Louis Vuitton moved to embedded chips in 2021. See our date-code guide and decoder.
