The bag was probably a return and the previous buyer cut off the original Chanel tag or the Chanel tag was never attached to the bag but placed somewhere inside the zippered pocket. Saks can't just reproduce the tag, so they sent you Saks' tag, which is fine.
Terrific info - thank you so much!
On a side note, if I have some info to add to the "Style Codes and Dimensions of the Timeless Classics" permanent thread, what would be the best way to submit that? I can't figure out how to send a message to the moderator and the thread is closed to replies . . . this forum has been so helpful to me, so I want to "give back" if I can!
Hi All,
I'm getting quite an education from reading this thread - thank you, Sophie! Like Sigma, I'm missing the tag to my red caviar Maxi. My wonderful husband bought it at Neiman Marcus for Christmas. Can Neiman's reproduce the style information that was on the original tag?
