In 2019 LVMH launched AURA,  a blockchain consortium platform that tracks their products.    Does Louis Vuitton still have date codes? In Spring of 2021 Louis Vuitton did away with date codes in their bags and started using RFID chips.  What is an RFID Chip? RFID stands for Radio-Frequency identification Chip. These are tiny microchips that store information and that information can be read with an RFID reader . It's like a name tag for the bag. Who can read the Louis Vuitton RFID chip? Only Louis Vuitton has the technology to read these chips properly and they can be read by the staff at the LV boutique.  However, that doesn't mean you can go to the boutique and ask a sales associate to read the chip in your bag.  They will only scan the chip in the event that you are returning the bag - so they can make sure the bag you are returning is the same bag you purchased from them. What about chip reader apps?  These apps can tell you that there IS a chip i...

 I typed Vernis Colour Guide inot a blog title generator and it gave me "Will This Vernis Colour Guide Change The World?".  It doesn't make much sense but it was better than "What the Beatles Could Learn from a Vernis Colour Guide." Vernis leather is a coated leather that is shiny and sparkly.  It's my favourite fabric from Louis Vuitton.  So I put this list together so I could see the colours in order of their release dates. This can be helpful especially since there are so many colours.  For example, if you get a gorgeous bright pink vernis bag you might need to look at the date code to see if it's Framboise, Fuchsia, Rose Pop, etc. This list is just what I have gathered from my own purchases as well as other awesome guides on the internet.  This is not a comprehensive or official list.  Please let me know if you have any corrections.
