burning a chanel bag to authenticate it..

[CatNZ]

ahhh thanks OP, this little gem surely brightened up my day

and well... genuine leather and synthetic materials burn differently, and I too have seen street hawkers holding a lighter to their product, to try convince you of its quality. real leather won't go "poof" or spread flames like synthetics. it'll just take a bit more effort to get genuine leather to catch on fire.

saying real Chanel won't burn? that is just stupidity unless Chanel has some awesome top secret fire-proofing treatment....

oh yeah, I've heard of same thing for diamonds too, real ones don't burn

You can burn an authentic LV and nothing will happen. I have tried mine. But not sure about Chanel though. Especially lambskin..

that'd be awesome if it were true; just imagine your house burns down but your bags make it out!
