Please authenticate the following:

Item: CHANEL Vintage Beige Quilted Lambskin
Listing number: 261329200444
Seller: fashionhulu
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-C...444?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3cd86f253c

A bit anxious about the diamonds at the back of the bag since lines are not well-aligned.

Jumping in to help out as there seem to be many requests...
The bag in the photos is authentic despite the intentional censoring of a few of the numbers on the hologram sticker

Thank you Roku..:smile1:

How about the stitching at the back where diamonds are not perfectly formed? Notice that the vertical stitching at the right is not aligned whereas the one in the left is perfectly aligned..??

I sent in my request to authenticate4u.com almost 3 weeks ago. Nothing yet. Getting nervous because I only have one more week to file a claim.

This is just my own opinion but honestly, I wouldn't recommend Caroldiva. She tries to be expert in too many brands and has a long history of making many mistakes. In fact, there have been several posts saying that Carol's authentications are no longer accepted by ebay (due to mistakes) and Carol herself told someone she no longer does Coach.

Although I've never used Etinceler, I consider them and A4U the best for professional Chanel authentications.

As for rhondaroni0 not receiving a response from A4U, I wonder whether she might have an incorrect email address. A4U (in my experience) is very prompt in their responses.

I don't think that I should go into detail, but I will just say there are authentic bags where the stitching of diamonds aren't perfectly aligned, and there are fake bags where the stitching of diamonds are perfectly aligned. It's a multitude of factors really, but attributes of an authentic item don't make an authentic item. Only the item itself does.

If you have more doubts you can always consult one of the authentication services - it should put your mind at ease.

Yes colourful_belle told me the same thing. Good to know. Personally I've only used Etinceler.
