Tips for Identifying Pieces

As always, we recommend searching Lolibrary first both by item number and by any relevant tags/features. If neither of these bring up the item, the following are some tips for researching the mystery item, though you are always welcome to ask for assistance in the Lolibrary Discord or the What is that dress? or EGL Research Center Facebook groups as well.

There are several things to check when trying to identify a Putumayo piece. First, look for an item number. Item numbers should be on the wash tag of most items released in the 2010s. For items released in the 2010s, the first digit of the item number is usually the last digit of the year. At least some items released in 2008 do not have item numbers on the tag.

Older items from around 2005 have item numbers on the tag that start with a two digit letter code. After the 2-digit letter code, there is a numeric code. The first digit of this numeric code typically is the year.

Items from 2005 and later list the company name as Hyper Hyper Co (phone 03-3423-7630). Early items list the company name as Gim Co., LTD (phone 03-3404-3221). The change over date is unknown. [15]

2014-2018 releases typically were listed on the webshop with their item numbers in the URL, sometimes in image filenames: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://putumayo.co.jp/*
