Item: Chanel scarf
Listing number: 161861995752
Seller: celha_0
Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161861995752?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Comments: Asked if authentic since it has no label, seller confirmed and mentioned that the scarf was made using the screen printing technique.

Thank you so much for your help. I have never seen this design before so would appreciate some assistance!

We don't authenticate scarves here, feel free to use a private co:

1. Sorry your request is not clear; if it's a one-off photos only request, please follow that proper format and do not attach a photo collage of thumbnails but the actual photos as detailed in post 2 and follow proper format

2. yes TBQ is in Taiwan; this is why you have to be careful on Malleries to make sure that you know where the seller is shipping from, because you may get hit with customs duties. Malleries is notorious for trying to hide seller origins but that's an illegal practice since the buyer has a legal right to know they are importing an item from out of country.

Hi --- thank you for letting me know. I uploaded the pictures individually. Please take a look. I hope this will help in authenticating this bag. I noted my concerns in my original posting, but the bag does look authentic.

Here was the verbiage from my original post:
Item Name (if you know it): Chanel Black Quilted Lambskin Classic Jumbo Flap Shoulder Bag
SERIAL NUMBER: 4571868
Link (if available):
Seller: TBQ International
Who took the pictures: SELF
History of the bag: As noted above, TBQ International (based in Taiwan, I didn't know) sent me the wrong bag. The bag they sent appears to be in better condition than what I purchased, however because they sent me the wrong bag, I don't know if its authentic. Here is what I'm concerned with.
1. The leather is slightly dry\harder than what I would expect of lambskin. Could be due to little use?
2. The picture of the chain... in the picture you will see the front and back of a part of the chain. In the photo the leather doesn't inter-twine on one of the links. Its almost as if that is where the leather starts and stops. You will also see there that the leather slightly overlaps each other.

The Interior doesn't have the CC logo on the inner flap, but the leather is tight and not loose. The inner lock looks authentic. The outer CC does have the inscription on the upper left. Serial code is fully intact and font and CC logo on the sticker appear legit. Zipper appears legit. The MADE IN FRANCE is almost not present but the CHANEL logo is clear


Thank you in advance - t

Dear Authenticators.

I'm looking to buy my first vintage Chanel bag for everyday use as I'm just too protective of the new one I bought. Please help me authenticate this bag and thank you very much in advance.
The bag does NOT have a serial sticker inside anymore and no authenticity card. So I really want to get it right.
your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

I already authenticated 2 of your requests in the last day or so, and just see you posted 3 more. For the purpose of efficiency and consideration, please narrow down your selections to your penultimate, and request authentication when you are about to make your purchase. Most members use this method and it is most appreciated.
I am sorry!! Being such a indecisive fool. Thank you so much!
 
Item Name (if you know it): ?
SERIAL NUMBER: 9710265
Link (if available): Link to a similar bag in different colour click here.

Seller: Not for sale.
Who took the pictures: I did.
History of the bag: Bought at a flee market in Europe, Scandinavia.
Comments: This purse is made of extremely soft white lambskin. Quality of the bag is really good. Size of the purse is about 10 inch x 5 inch x 1,7 inch (25 cm x 12,5 cm x 4 cm). The CC closure has a hinge and it is good quality hardware and still in good condition. All the hardware parts are in good condition. The zipper has CHANEL on one side and CC logo on the other side. Lining inside is made of satin kind of fabric. The colour of the lining is very pale grey and CHANEL texts are white. Stiches are high quality, the thread has not come up anywhere. There are 7 stiches per inch but the sides of the diamond are almost 6 inches so it is kind of in relation to the size of the diamonds. The chain is heavy and each link is well closed. However the leather inside the chain is not sewed, it is just rolled. There are only two stiches at both ends of the leather, as you can see in the picture. I took the pictures in natural Scandinavian light but in reality the bag is not as clean as it looks in the photos. Unfortunately it has not been kept well and it has some dark patina and stains. Luckily the leather itself is in quite good condition so it might be worth cleaning and rescuing.

I´m interested in knowing if the purse is authentic or not. Thank you in advance, you are doing a great job!

Hi

For a few weeks ago I bought a Chanel back in a vintage store. So the bag was not found on an auction site.

I would like if you could authenticate the bag for me. Just to be sure 

Item Name: Chanel Jumbo
SERIAL NUMBER: 11006313
Seller: Milan Exclusiv Sec
Comments: As mentioned I bought the bag in a vintage store. The owner of the shop told me that she do personally know the earlier owner of the bag (she is a friend of her).



Kind regards
 
I would like to see a better unskewed photo of the hologram sticker and the back of the inside zipper pull

Hi!
New to this so please let me know if I made any mistakes in my request to authenticate these Chanel boots I'm thinking of buying on eBay:

- Chanel 13C black suede gold trim knee high boots
Made in Italy
Retailed for $1500
Comes with box and 2 dust bags

I couldn't manage to upload more than 1 photo but I provided the eBay link below where the seller has all angles of the boots.

Here's the eBay link:
