**CLOSED** Authenticate This CHANEL

[ANjuu62]

Hi there, hoping to get an authenticity check on this vintage camera bag. The listing is on Facebook so I can’t share it, and also the serial sticker has fallen off. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

[Bindies]

Hi there, I was given a chanel bag as a gift some time ago and I am 99.9% certain it's genuine but thought I'd message you guys for authenticity.
Item Name: Chanel Classic
Link: None I own it
Seller: Gifted
Who Took the Pictures: I did
History of the Bag: none available
Comments: everything seems authentic but the serial number sticker has 'Chanel' printed down both sides which is where my doubt is. Thanks in advance

Hi, can someone please help me with my query above? I am new to this site so apologies if there is a lead time.
Thanks so much in advance

Hi - I am no means an expert but that serial number is known to be for fake bags. But of course wait for the authenticator to give you her opinion.

********REMINDER******PLEASE READ*********

In order to avoid forth and back postings, before requesting an authentication, please read post # 2 of this thread (here) for all pictures required for an accurate assessment. Please note that pictures all of the required details need to be of quality: non-angled, crisp and sharp, up close and glare-free. I need to be able to see the detailing and authentications can't be done if pictures are lacking. Also, when posting pictures, pls make sure that they are uploaded straight forward/non-angled, so I won't have to save them on my laptop in order to rotate them to the right angle.

Once you have all the required photos, please post your request in the following template and fill out the following:
- Item name:
- Serial number: (please type out)
- Listing number: (eBay listing #, site listing #, or if applicable)
- Seller: (seller ID)
- Link: (link to the sellers listing in eBay or other selling site. Either active, or expired)
- Comments:

Please note: If your request has no valid link to the listing (that's still active, or has ended) and you already bought/are the owner of the bag, you would need to post a login shot.
Login shot: the bag in front of your device while logged into your tPF account (showing your username). Example here
You can only post a login shot if the item is in your possession.
No login shot is needed if you can provide a valid link.

* I will not do authentications without a without a valid link, or login shot.

* Currently I also don't authenticate items from social media sites like Instagram and Facebook, nor do I authenticate RTW and footwear.

* If you need an urgent authentication and time is of the essence, please consider using a paid service.

* Also please limit your request to one item per post.

Thanks all!!

It is really imperative that you first get the right pictures needed to properly authenticate CHANEL items. Please read this and get the requested pics before you post your request in the Authenticate This thread.

The authenticator is away at the moment. This serial number is associated with fake bags. Your bag is fake. You can wait for the authenticator to confirm but as I said she has not been around.

 

[Magays]

Thank you for your response, so you’re saying that the bag that I purchased is fake, it’s over a month now, I’m not sure if I can get Ebay to refund me since the seller doesn’t accept returns. I bid and won on Ebay on April 27. Here is the original listing on Ebay # 132593675363. Thanks for all your help and please let me know if is really fake so I can contact Ebay and see what they can do.
