Black holds the best resell value and more forgiving
That’s a great point, Thanks!Black holds the best resell value and more forgiving
Blue’s cheaper. It’s really pretty but smells a little musty. The black smells like leather.
I like the blue color better but smell is a deal breaker for me. Keep the black.
lol. absolutely agree!There is nothing forever haha.
Totally love that blue one too.
So plot twist, something that bothered me about the black was that it seemed off, compared to the other one. The rivets are in different places slightly and the flap is shorter and square and I didn’t know if it was normal for those differences and it’s the new chip one. I was reading about people saying they would not buy one with the microchip because it’s hard to authenticate so this morning I paid for an authentication for piece of mind and it came back inconclusive, something didn’t seem right. What would you guys do? If I contact them how they guarantee it is 100%
Do flap sizes change slightly season to season?

Which site did you use for authenticate this Chanel? Chanel bags made in recent years and some other brands including Louis Vuitton‘s leather bags are more difficult to authenticate even in person, I even caught a few times items had been authenticate in person said authentic turned out to be super fake after examed again. I would pay someone else to help me authenticate as well if I’m not 100% sure. That being said, I normally would trust Fashionphil’s authentication besides you still have the option to return if hasn’t cut tag off or sell back if you had cut the tag off or sell it later with Fashionphil’s tag.
Designer pawn. I’ve always trusted there authentication till now. I still trust them, I just now things can slip by. I’m really sad to return it, I love that it was made in France. I’ve only seen them on fashionphile being made in France.
this sucks
Maybe this will help. If I told you I had questions about a bag (rivets & flap) I had purchased from a consignment shop, and the authentication had come back inconclusive what would your advice to me be?
ETA - Better yet, what would you advise your best friend to do? Or your sister?
Thank you guys, I’ll send it back tomorrow. It makes me wonder and nervous about there other ones like mine that say made in France. They have similar strap and chain kinks with shorter flaps. I guess I’m going to stick to older ones. I’m bummed I was riding on a high lol
You will find one you can enjoy worry free. Good luck and have fun searching!
