Hello,

I just got the bag I posted before, so here are some pictures I took of the bag in live to check the authenticity more in detail.

Item Name (if you know it): Timeless Flap
SERIAL NUMBER: 7308022
Link (if available): http://www.vestiairecollective.com/women-bags/handbags/chanel/blue-leather-handbag-chanel-2019330.shtml
Seller: Randi
Who took the pictures: Me
History of the bag: Seller says she bought bag from Vestiaire Collective, seems to be from 2003
Comments: My doubts come from certain factors which might be explainable: number of stiches varies from 8-9 (not always the same number), snap button does not say CHANEL PARIS, chain does not feel very heavy even though vintage bags are usually plated with gold (might just be my impression), stiching coming off (but could be just be due to wear and age), CC logo seems flat and not 100% perfect (but may also be due to being vintage), Chanel Made in France is fading a bit (don't know how real Chanel bags fade if easily or not with wear).

Please let me know if you think it is real or fake, so I can either keep it or return it :)

Thank you so much!

Please include those-can you repost in one place so that Roku can see it all at one time.:smile1: It's hard for her to keep flipping back and forth....

Do you have a pic of the zipper detail, and can you please repost with the authenticity number. Is this bag blue as the listing states?
