I have always been a Chanel purse lover though until now, I've been an avid admirer from afar. Now in my forties and feeling audacious enough therefore to act on my desires (my new motto: Damn it, I deserve it!), I have been researching various online Chanel retailers and consignment boutiques.
Understandably, I had my reservations about buying pre-owned Chanel for the fear of falling prey to counterfeiters who prowl rampant on the internet; I also knew that I did not want to pay full retail price plus tax on a new Chanel (that, even my newfound "damn it I deserve it" philosophy would not justify).
My solution was to research and study the claims of authenticity of various online boutiques. I am so relieved and excited to have found the online boutique of my dreams:
Boutique Patina.
www.boutiquepatina. com.
I just received my very first vintage Chanel flap (in deep navy blue, lambskin), and what a beauty it is! It's even better and newer than it's advertised on Boutique Patina, and that goes to show how much integrity and conscientiousness this company has.
I am definitely going to be purchasing my next Chanel with them.
Boutique Patina is so committed to authenticity that it offers a third-party authenticator of all merchandize they sell online. I just received my free authentification certificate in the mail AND in my email inbox.
I am hard to please, and I am very pleased with this company. I highly recommend Boutique Patina!
