BagFile, the handbag reference bench
A handbag archive combining model histories, date-code lookups, authentication caveats, and selected buying links.
Field notes
The archive is arranged by fashion house and individual reference, with live counts shown for Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Gucci, and Dior. Its tools address two concrete dating problems: Chanel serial series from 1986–2021, including the microchip era, and Louis Vuitton’s changing date-code conventions across factory countries. The site marks approximate historical dates with “c.” and says its outbound eBay links are affiliate links, while the reference files themselves are not sold.
