Hi ladies! I need your advice. I purchased a preowned Chanel Boy Old Medium Boy Bag from a resale luxury boutique mid last month and knew that something was off about it when I unpackaged it. The metal logo in the front, the wrapping paper, dust bag and care booklet (all the tiny details) seem very poorly done! This boutique gets their bags authenticated by Real Authentication which is absolutely UNRELIABLE and this bag came back as authentic. I have used the service out of curiosity and taking 6 photos and uploading it to their site to be examined is simply NOT good enough when the counterfeited market is so huge and the super fakes.
Now here's my question- I need to dispute this with my credit card company and so I am shipping this out to the Leather Surgeons for authentication and written documentation (I really hope that I am wrong but my gut tells me that I am right and I have to trust what my gut is telling me). While this is being done, should I reach out to the resale boutique to notify them that the bag they sold me is fake or should I hold off until I get the confirmation and written documentation from the Leather Surgeons. Do you guys think I will be able to get my full money back? After experiencing all of this, I vow to pay full price or not buy if I cant afford Chanel bags. This is all so mentally exhausted on top of what is happening in the world. I hope everyone is doing well and I am truly thankful for this community we have here. Thank you!
