Can someone recommend an online authentication service

Ive used leather surgeons for microchipped chanels. I had to send them in but they are the best of the best. They charge $95 plus shipping. I trust them more than all other companies as they did repairs for chanel exclusively before.

I personally love the service Designerpawn.com and I absolutely trust them and their knowledge because they have a Facebook group from 2016 only about CHANEL and I know the owner has been doing resale for over a decade and works with big auction houses

Hi! I picked up a few vintage Chanels from the preloved market and they do not have their authenticity cards (but their holograms are intact and readable). I have no intention of selling, but just wanted to get them authenticated for my records. I narrowed down my choices to either Zeko’s, or go a a shop that has Entrupy. Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks!
 
Now that TPF no longer has an authenticator and Etinceler is no longer in business, does anyone have any suggestions for accurate authentication services for Chanel, specifically a wallet?

I've seen too many errors by companies that use AI, among them Entrupy so I will NOT use a company without human experts. I'd like a company who has multiple experts in whatever brands they authenticate.

TIA.

Zeko is the best one out there

I bought a vintage Chanel a few months ago and it had the Entrupy certificate but no hologram sticker, I actually didn't like it but could not refund it as it was final sale. I tried selling it through consignment places and they all basically told me if they cant authenticate it they don't care that it has a certificate. So beware if you're going to buy a vintage Chanel, make sure it has its hologram serial number. As long as it has a seal and bonus a card I dont' think you need a certificate.
 
Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked or is a stupid question.. I’ve looked through this thread and may have missed this, but does anyone use an independent authenticator when buying from TheRealReal?

I’ve never bought Chanel, or any luxury for that matter, in the secondhand market yet (I couldn’t comprehend how the prices are so close to the store in many cases), but I am selling some Chanel bags using TheRealReal next week and have my eye on a Chanel 19, but I’m concerned about their authentication process. I’ve never been a fan of the 19 until recently, so I’m worried I don’t have an eye for it either.
