Did you know you can tell exactly when and for which collection Chanel earrings were made just by looking at the tiny stamp on the back? (swipe to see) Those little oval plates contain a secret code of numbers and letters.
🔢 The year
The two numbers indicate the production year.
For example: 01 = made in 2001.
🗓️ The season
Next to the year, you’ll see a single letter that identifies the season:
• P = Printemps (Spring/Summer)
• A = Automne (Fall/Winter)
• C = Cruise Collection
• T = Transition Collection (between seasons)
🏛️ Production line / collection code
Some stamps also include an extra number or symbol used internally by Chanel to mark the production group or atelier.
💎 Fun fact:
Earrings from the 1980s and early 1990s sometimes didn’t include a year at all, only “Chanel ©️ Made in France.”
This little bit of mystery makes those early pieces especially coveted among collectors today.
The NéoNoé is one of Louis Vuitton’s most recognizable silhouettes, but did you know its popularity comes from its classic one-piece body construction?
This means the main compartment is cut from a single piece of canvas, with no seams along the front or back.
Why does that matter?
• it adds extra durability,
• the canvas ages more beautifully and evenly,
• and it allows the Monogram or Damier pattern to flow seamlessly, something collectors love.
A subtle detail that shows just how much craftsmanship goes into what looks like a “simple” bucket bag.

Did you know the iconic Louis Vuitton Cartouchière GM takes its name from the hunting pouch “cartouchière” traditionally used to carry ammunition? Introduced in the 1970s, this structured crossbody bag was designed for hands free wear and everyday practicality, making it a timeless vintage Louis Vuitton classic loved for both its function and heritage.
The handle of the Gucci Lock bag is a small work of art in itself. It is made from thick, sturdy leather that is folded by hand and then finished with coarse, visible stitching. It was precisely this extra-clear stitching that used to be a typical Gucci detail: intended to show off the craftsmanship rather than hide it.
The result? A handle that is not only super strong, but also exudes that distinctive vintage Gucci feel; robust, luxurious, and clearly handmade.🖤
