I'm not sure it's actually letting me add pictures to my post? :/


Could someone please tell me how to do it? Thank you so much :)

As long as you provide a link to an live sale, we can see the pics. I know you are new, but if you go back to the first two detailed posts in this thread, you'll see there are not nearly enough pictures here to authenticate. We also discuss authenticating newer bags with pics alone and how difficult it is.

This is one of the most highly counterfeited bags out there. You also should be doing a search of the authenticity number in this thread. When you do, you'll see this number has been associated with several other counterfeit bags.

Hello lovely folks in the Purse Forum. This is my first post so not entirely sure if I'm doing it right. If anyone would be willing and able to authenticate this item, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Item: Chanel Le Boy Bag Large Calfskin Black Crossbody
Serial Number: 1826301
Listing number: 262299914804
Seller: cedisonaw
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CHANEL-...RjnE9IaHtF0Ux%2F%2B6E%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Comments: I have had positive communication with this seller and she is willing to sell me the item despite missing the auction deadline. I would love to hear others' opinions. She has sent me photos of a TSA document that was supplied with the item going through customs from Paris, as well. Any, ANY help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a total newbie!!

Hello authenticators!

I really appreciate this service. I recently purchased this bag:

Item: Chanel Black Caviar Leather Cerf Shopping Tote Handbag
Serial Number: 6189177
Listing number: MALD571
Seller: TBQ International
Link: http://www.malleries.com/chanel-bla...f-shopping-tote-handbag--i-226657-s-2665.html

I bought it after trying my best to learn how to tell if a bag is real or not but am slightly freaking out that this may not be real. Could you please reassure me?

Thank you so much! :smile1:

Jessica

Can you please edit the serial number to include all the digits-we save these for our searchable data base.....

Please see Roku's signature link about authenticating newer bags from 17 series forward. On the TPF, you'll see we recommend two authenticating services for Chanel. Who is the authentication service that was used to verify this bag? To authenticate newer bags, you need to send the bag in person, as there are so many super fakes on the market that using pics alone is usually not sufficient. You may hold for Roku to see if she can tell you more, but unless this is a seller she is familiar with, she may not be able to do so.

This seller and bag may very well be legit and if you do decide to buy, proceed carefully. Receipts and all paper work are easily faked. I would suggest reading thru the threads on Ebay about safe buying. Make sure the buyer has the bag in their possession by getting the name next to the bag in a pic. It is not advised to buy an item outside of Ebay and there is more info about that as well. This seller seems to have good feedback, you can also do a search of them on these threads.

Edit. I found this weird stitch on the front of the bag, I'm not sure if authentic bags have such flaws.

Waiting for your comments 😊 I won't use the bag until I'm sure of its authenticity.
