Hello,

I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts on the bag below. I understand the photos from Fashionphile are insufficient to fully authenticate, but I was wondering if you saw any red flags before I possibly take the plunge. In particular, I'm concerned that the "Made in France" stamping looks a bit messy. Thank you!

- Item name: CHANEL Caviar Quilted 2.55 Reissue 226 Flap Black
- Serial number: 16549XXX (photo doesn't show complete #)
- Listing number: 426711
- Seller: Fashionphile
- Link: https://www.fashionphile.com/chanel-caviar-quilted-255-reissue-226-flap-black-426711
 
Still not quite sufficient, but I wouldn't want you to take a 3 hour trip to take pictures. If the seller takes pictures with her camera, tell her to use the macro (flower) button. If with her phone, she needs to zoom in and wait for it to focus before taking a shot.
So far bag looks good.
I'm adding new pics she took for me, I'm not sure if these are good enough? I appreciate your help SO much! I will attach the rest of the pics afterwards.

Hi everyone,
Hello Ironic, please help me to authenticate this Vintage Chanel Tote.

- Item name: Vintage Chanel Tote predicted to be from 1970s- 1980s
- Serial number: No hologram and there’s no trace of fallen off hologram so maybe before 1986?!
- Listing number: I bought already. This is now my possession I have share a login shot!
- Seller: private seller
- Comments: seller told me this was from the 70s. I have not found any similar images on Google.
A few things I have noticed:
1. zipper full has lettering “YBS”
2. the chain is different from my other Chanel mini 2015 and it has faded quite a lot (I once heard the myth of never fading vintage Chanel hardware)
3. No country on the inner label
4. Some of the leather twirled in the chain is not so good (is it just old?)

I have little knowledge regarding Vintage goods so please help me out so I can rest assured! Thank you so so much.

Please let me know if you need any other photos

This is indeed not from 2019, but better and more pictures are needed for authentication. See here and here for a list of all required pictures and how they need to be.

When you post back with new pictures, please make sure to either resubmit all previous info/pics, or quote your initial request/previous posts, so I have all pertinent info pertaining to your request contained in one post.

Thank you so much ironic568!! The bag will be in my possession early next week and I will post more photos then. If it's not too much trouble, could you tell me if you see any red flags so far?

Thank you in advance.
 

"Still missing a picture of the underside of the zipper slider/head and I'd like to see a picture of the CC side of the zipper pull without the plastic, but so far so good."


Hi Ironic568,

Thank you again for all your help. I know you requested for more photos of the underside of the zipper but I'm not too sure if I'm attaching the appropriate pictures for that. Is there another post that I might be able to relate to? I have also attached photos of the CC side of zipper without the plastic.

Thanks again for all your help!

Hello Ironic! Thanks very much for the information and down here are the previous post and pictures you asked for. Let me know if you need something else. Thanks a lot!

ps: in mt pictures sometimes the bag seems a bit darker than it really is. It’s a light blueish grey.

Just one more detail: this caviar leather is different from the ones we usually see. I did some research and here people are calling it “suede caviar”. Thanks again.

Need forward facing, non-glare, up close and in focus pictures of the zipper pull and both snap buttons. Also side views of the female snap button and stem.
And preferably a more up close picture of the sticker. Is the card available?
