There are not enough detailed pictures to evaluate, the ones in the listing are poor quality and blurry. Please refer to post #2, pictures need to be clear and in focus otherwise we are unable to render an opinion.
 
Hi, the bag pictured is authentic but in light of the missing hologram sticker you may want to ask the seller for a clear and in focus picture of the underside of the exterior zipper head and the markings on the interior zipper pull so you know you have seen all the details.

Hello again CB! I was unable to get photo's of the zipper as the seller says she is away for the weekend and the bidding ends on monday (tomorrow). From what I can see in photos #4 there is no zipper pull on the interior zipper however I have seen other similar bags without them also. What is your opinion given the details we do have about the bag? I trust your opinion whether or not to buy this bag please help!

here is the listing again:

Hi, I can see a zipper pull, I would have ideally liked to have seen the markings on it, I think you misunderstood my request and you're referring to a gold hanging charm. In any case, I still consider the bag to be authentic. Good luck I hope you win!

Thank-you so much for all of your help! You are fantastic! Is it normal for vintage bags from the 90's to come with no hologram sticker at all. She says it was purchased from Neiman Marcus and it never had a sticker that she could see.
 
Hi N, buying again! :laugh:


Yes, can you believe it? I cannot be trusted! This puts my small Chanel collection now at three bags and a pair of shoes/booties. I was going to sell the perforated drill but decided to keep, I have the small chocolate bar bag/clutch in black/beige and the newest was a quiet, understated, beige calfskin shoulder bag that I picked up (with card but without dust bag which I subsequently found on another site) from fashionhulu for $295!! Not a mark on or in it and much cheaper than the same bag from the Japanese sellers. Wanted to ask you, you mentioned that you sometimes sell off your bags, can you disclose which sites you use (sorry if asking is taboo, and if so, please forgive:smile1:). Now I am eyeing jewelry, I think I am becoming addicted! If I venture into clothing, then I am a definite goner! Happy Turkey Day! xxoo

You're welcome. This bag would have come with a hologram sticker matching the numbers on the authenticity card. For this style bag, It should either be inside the interior pocket or the bottom of the bag on the left side. That said, hologram stickers can become detached over time.
 

Thank you!

Aramas33 - I hope you don't mind me chiming in to provide my thoughts to you, although I haven't really followed anyone's postings like this before, I thought you might find it helpful. From the 8 posts you have made on TPF, all on this ATC thread, they were all related to bags that are $99 and lower, some with a Buy It Now price of $20 to $40 USD.

Dare I say it will be impossible for you to find an authentic Chanel handbag in that price range. In case it saves you time...

Hi N, and here we are aiding you with your addiction! :laugh: We are not permitted to promote our own listings here. I will PM you. :p

We don't have Turkey Day here but Happy Turkey Day to you!
 
Hello, I just purchased a bag online, and was hoping for some help verifying it's authenticity, as I'm able to return it if I discover it's fake. They do claim to pre-screen items, but a second opinion would help make me feel better. :)

Really appreciate your help with this! Thank you so much

Hi, the regular authenticators do not authenticate completed listings, for a small fee you may want to consider using a third party authentication service such as Authenticate4u.com or Etincelerauthentications.com.
 
Here is the stamp she sent me. I've never seen one like this so hopefully it's authentic. Thanks for the quick response! View attachment 2409559

Please repost with the listing details and the link so I know which bag the picture belongs to. Thanks.

ETA: Is this a new request because the picture you have provided belongs to a different bag to the one I authenticated for you yesterday and you have not posted any other requests here.

Item: Chanel Surf Flap Medium

Link: https://www.poshmark.com/listings/528e26766020d3058203d635

Seller: luxuryshoegal88

Who took the photos: luxuryshoegal88

History of the bag: New with Tags

Comments: This bag is missing the back pocket & I've never seen this bag before. But it could just be a Limited Edition item. I just wanted to make sure it was authentic before I purchase it. Plus it is on PoshMark & not PayPal so I really can not return it due to it not being authentic


Thanks soo much!
