Please post authenticity questions related to CHANEL in this thread. This thread is a continuation of the previous Authentication thread that has been closed for posting.

Hi again!
As per the rules, please limit requests to one per post. It gets confusing to remember and post on the details. I'm on my iPhone right now, so it makes it that much more difficult. Thank you! I'll try to do these one at a time. First request is authentic Second is authentic Third looks authentic Fourth: I cannot authenticate with only one photo.

This bag is authentic. As stated in the listing, the bag is an older model showing some wear, wrinkling, chipped overlay on the hardware, and missing its authenticity card. The price is pretty fair. |
