Longchamp Serial Number Meaning

Longchamp bags will have genuine leather handles that will feel soft and smooth to the touch, not rough and stiff. Look at the serial number on the white tag inside the bag and make sure it matches the serial number on the plastic bag that covers all new Longchamp bags.

Hermes Authentication and Blind Stamp Guide Every Hermes item is handmade and therefore has its own intricacies based on the craftsman and leather. Each Hermes item will be embossed with the logo stamping in the natural, gold or silver with Hermes Paris logo. Everything should be lined up - evenly and centered with the Hermes name. Hermes leather items should have a blind stamp.

Hermes uses letters in alphabetical order to date the bags surrounded by a shape. From 1945 to 1970, no shapes were used. From 1971 to 1996, a circle shape is used. From 1997 to present, a square shape is used. The list shows the year made, and the letter that would be stamped on the bag based on that year.

At the top of every list is the shape that the letter would be framed inside. Additional numbers/letters appearing next to the blind stamp indicate the section at the atelier where the bag maker works. Handbags and Accessories Grades New Item hasn't been used.
