Louis Vuitton Saumur 30 counterfeit
I was so excited to buy my first vintage Louis Vuitton from Japan, I was looking for over three weeks and received too many offers for the sellers. One particular saumur called my attention and I received a good offer from the seller. I decided to buy it. I just received my bag yesterday, I took it to Louis Vuitton store to make a repair on the straps, the associate told me that he could not take it for repairs because is a fake louis vuitton. I started my claim with the seller and he agreed to refund it. I feel bad for the next person who will buy it because if they don't know they will assume is a real bag.
I happened to check the date code AR8903. Also the bag has a plastic smell and the strap is harsh and it does not feel like real leather. Also in one of the straps it looks like the vachetta has been painted to get a nice patina. I took pictures and sent it to the seller which did not make any comments about it.
At this point I'll go and return it and get my money back. However I would like to bring this issue to ebay community because I notice that even that the seller thinks is selling a real handbag it could be fake and he will take it back and try to resale it to another person.

·3 years agoReturning the bag and getting your money back is the right course of action. Make sure to follow the seller's refund process and document all communication and evidence of the item's inauthenticity, such as the photos you took and the feedback from the Louis Vuitton store associate. This will support your claim in case any disputes arise during the return process.

·3 years agoThank you I love was just about to buy one I won from a bid with date code AR9002 and a certain website called it fake and another site could read the code saying make sure I typed it in correct the patina look dark on one side but light on the other side and the leather looks very dry I was thinking maybe because it’s old but thank you for posting this because I knew it was fake exactly why I came to google and typed in fake Saumur bags and found this

·3 years agoI don't know who told you it was fake based on the date code but AR 9002 is a legitimate date code. It reads as MIF, February 1990 (first two numbers = year/last two = month).
Early 1990 dates still used the old format.
DO NOT use those stupid date code calculators, most of them churn out WRONG information.
If you want to post pics of the bag you were looking at here, we can help determine if it's fake. But the date code you posted is legit.
