If this doesn't work I would try listing the bag on eBay to see what it goes for.

Anyway, don't take this so seriously, it's just a bag!!!
ITA, exactly what I was going to advice you to do. lol.

hi ladies, here is the update...i called the france boutique and my sa said she didnt check when she sent it out to me and she said its possible but there is nothing she can do except a store credit..but i will have to pay for my own shipment..agghhh!!!! and the tone she used...like its all my fault!
we dont deserve this, we are paying over 3000$ for thissss and they only use somekind of scotch tape or sticker to put the auth number?!!!!! i am usually ok for eBay but after one VERY bad transaction i am a bit worry..

^If you really love the bag and are sure that you are going keep it I wouldn't stress over the sticker and just enjoy the bag!! I've seen bags listed on eBay without all the authentic bits like the card etc that still sell because there are other ways of determining authenticity. Good luck with whatever you decide.

After reading all comments.

I just want to say do whatever make you feel better. Like store credit, selling it or simply be happy carrying it around. If it is really not big on you IRL like it does in pic.

I love this bag!! I bet it doesn't look too big IRL either. It's fabulous!!

Are you sure you're going to want to sell it one day? Maybe you will love it forever? I would!

I have been unlucky these couple of weeks but i dont think this going to happen to me...AGGHHH! i dunno what to do, i love this to death as u can see the color of the red just pop agh!! but i dont think i want a bag without a serial number (one of my OCD symptomps haha).

please advise me what to do, should i:
1. return this bag to the chanel boutique that i bought in europe which gonna cost me in total loss of approx $300 for the shipping etc (bringing in the bag already cost me $150 and another $150 to send the bag)

2. should i just sell this bag on eBay? i just want to get my money back without all the losses, do u think i can get that on ebay with a bag without a sticker? well it does have the auth card and the receipt.

please tell me what you think because i am too tired to deal with these after whats went on with my life..thank you ladies, hope you guys dont mind helping me with this.

love this bag..ehmm yeah it looks a bit too big on you..but who cares as long as you love it!!

I'm so anal when it comes to sticker, authenticity card, and such.. am gonna be pissed off when its not there but if you said that its the last one in France and you think there's no way to get the same bag again..annndd..you love it to death..then you better enjoy the bag! it's a just a sticker after all and you're 1000000% sure its authentic. Just keep the receipt in the bag if that will make you feel better :)

The lack of authenticity sticker would bug me too.

I'd just return the bag if I were you. But maybe you can sweet talk them into paying for the shipping cost? After all, it's not YOUR fault that you're returning the bag!

I bought my portobello black w/black flap top about a month ago at Chanel Rue Royale, Paris. I just checked my bag too and it doesnt have the hologram sticker as well ...
