As far as I know, the serial number on that bag is one of the most commonly used by fakers..I've reported 2 on ebay uk in the last 48 hours with that very same number!. Both were removed immediately.

Default Photos needed to authenticate
OK Mon has already posted what I was going to state. Please get the photos BEFORE YOU POST here asking about authenticity. If you post one photo of an item asking if it's real, your post may be ignored.

Wow, these are VERY well used. They are missing the shoe lace bows.

In order to provide an opinion on authenticity we need to see close up in focus pictures of the markings on the inside and bottom soles (CHANEL and MADE IN markings and the size markings, etc.)

Comments: I'm not looking to buy this item, and I know it may be hard without a shot of the Chanel stamp inside, but I actually had a purse like this given to me and I later gave it away. I always wondered if it was real, they style seemed foreign to me? Any opinions, just as it listed?

I can say that it had Chanel on the zipper ends, and a stamped double CC in silver on the shoulder strap. CC zipper pull as well.

ETA: the interior is black suede, and there is no hologram sticker to be found.
