If you read further through this thread you will see that it's OK for the goldplating stamp to be on the top right C as well.

Hi ladies I'm Maricar Coronel. Can you help me to verify if the attach photos of chanel bag is authentic. I bought this last month to my sister's friend.



It is made in france.

Stitches are clean.

The hologram sticker is accompanied by a card with the matching serial number.

The hologram sticker does not peel off without breaking into many pieces.

It goes with authenticity card, chanel paper bag but no dust bag (coz it's used already).


The number zero on newer hologram stickers have a slash through it.

The hologram sticker have scored in a criss-cross patern.

The screws on the back of the closure is flat head and NOT phillips head screws.



Price is $750(u.s)




My concern is I'm not sure if chanel have this style and in some site it says that authentic chanel bag is made in ITALY. Please help me. Thank you so much.

One thing I have no seen addressed in any of the guides is this:

Chanels with tortoise hardware have phillips head screws NOT flathead!

This thread is for authenticity tips only. If you have authenticity questions, please post them over here: Authenticate This Chanel

BTW: if you bought it at Neimans, it surely is authentic.

wow! I can't believe people are not willing to read what this thread is all about.
The title alone is clear, but if you even skim through the thread you'd see we repeatedly ask people NOT to ask questions here!
