The serial numbers indicate older issues.

According to the authenticity tips thread, the bag, which has a 7 series number is from around 2003 and the wallet which has a 3 series number is from the 90's (I would say early to mid but those series ran for longer times than the current ones so it's harder to pinpoint an exact yr). I think their condition is good given their age.

Both are authentic, but seller "catwalk_intl" has 34 negs. I wouldn't deal with someone with that many complaints, but up to you.

I would PM stefyp. She is Italian and a sweety.

You are also a sweety, Michele. I do not know how to pm from the forum. Could you ask stefyp to e-mail me at scottj@nicc.portal.edu and I can then forward the Italian message to her? I would post it here, but cannot seem to copy and paste it from AOL.

Thanks a bunch!

This one is currently on Australian eBay. In general I don't like the auction - she has no feedback and seems very demanding in her auction.

BUT it is the exact bag that I want, and I can't afford the new price.

Would love advice on authenticity? This is the auction:

and she has some more pics of the bag here:

Any advice would be WONDERFUL! :)

Hello and welcome.

I think it has potential, but I would just ask for a picture:

1) The Made IN (either France or Italy)

2) You may want to ask what the engraving is on the part of the zipper holding the pull, as well as the back of the zipper slider.

Hey Michele! I was wrong! I tried it again and this time it worked!
Could you put stefyp on it for me. Thanks soooo much!
ciao , io ho bisogno di un traduttore , trovatelo anche tu.
la borsa e' stata comprata da mia madre nel 1980 da chanel , per il
matrimonio di mio fratello, vai da un negozio chanel e vedrai. in
italia con 300 euro non la compri neanche falsa . evita le minacce ,
non servono a nietnte, io non sono una commerciante ti ho venduto una
borsa usata , nuova costa 2500 $ se bastano , in italia la legge
punisce chi vende abitualmente oggetti falsi e non ci vende roba usata
ogni tanto,e comunque punisce di piu' chi le compra. senza contare che
la borsa e' vera, probabilmente tu non hai mai visto chanel vere, quel
modello non esiste falso , non ci sono problemi per la restituzione,
secondo la legge italiana , anche un privato e' tenuto a dare il
diritto di recesso sulla vendita a distanza, la merce deve essere
restituita entro 10 giorni dal ricevimento , nello stesse condizioni
di cui e' arrivata , le spedizioni sono a carico dell'aquirente, e
quando avro' ricevuto la borsa ho 30 giorni per restituirti i soldi ,
questo e0 quanto dice la legge, mio fratello e' avvocato , percio'
evita le minacce , l'unica cosa che puoi' fare e' lasciarmi un
feedback negativo , che sinceramente me ne frega . io sono una persona
seria e non un 'imbrogliona , la borsa e' come deve essere , prima di
fare accuse e sopratutto minacce informati. se ricevero' la borsa ti
restituiro' i soldi meno le spese di spedizione , meglio cosi' posso
venderla piu' cara.
ps hai mai visto una vera chanel ? quelle che hai comprato sono piu'
false di te.
