What the code inside a bag says about where and when it was made, read against the tables the resale trade has compiled over the years. The houses publish none of this, and no code says whether a bag is genuine.

Hermès blind stamp years
The year of a Hermès piece, from the letter stamped in its leather and the shape around it.

Two bags side by side: asking prices, the figures by condition, the histories, the dimensions and the retail prices, for 81 pairs.
A code says where and when the house’s workshop marked a piece, as the trade has recorded the codes; it does not say whether a bag is genuine, and Veliri does not authenticate bags. A code the tables do not read says nothing about the bag on its own.
