However, if its just a glare, ask for a picture of the hologram sticker, interior tag, and a picture of the card with the numbers facing the front.

The bag is from 2003-2004 time frame.

I can tell because the hologram looks real, the zipper and pull are correct, the hardware is correct, etc.

If your talking about the pull, it should only have the CC on it, with Chanel on the other side if it is a jumbo. The regular flap should have a leather pull.

I personally am not familiar with this style earrings, but that doesn't mean anything.

I am just not able to say yay or nay for sure. I'm sorry.

I am almost positive it is fake. The authenticity card is giving off a rainbow que. If you still want to pursue it, get the front picture of the card, and the hologram sticker.

The tag reads 03P - so definitely 2003.

I'm in total agreement with Michele. What a gorgeous color.

yes, it is fake. A tip for you. When you see that type of carebooklet (older) with a newer style bag, stay away. This is a good indication that the bag is fake.
