Item: Chanel full flap bag

Serial number: none

Seller: found at an estate sale

Link: none

Comment: found at an estate sale looks vintage and chain looks like it was replaced. Can someone please tell me if this is auth or fake?
 
Hello, I haven’t made a Chanel bag purchase in forever so this will be a first in a long long time! I’m hoping this one is real from Craigslist (I know it’s as sketchy as the Bay but I’m hoping this one is good):

- Item name: Chanel medium flap with gold hardware
- Serial number: 19558???? Seller crossed off the last few digits because she was afraid someone would steal her pics so hopefully this is okay?
- Listing number: N/A because this is a Craigslist
- seller: Doesn’t say on Craigslist
- Link: https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/jwl/6659728979.html

Thanks so much, sorry for the bad pics the first time, hopefully this time I’ll get it right!

Here goes round 2 photos :smile:

Pics not sufficient. Picture of the sticker needs to be extremely up close, sharp, glare-free and showing all digits. Pics of all other required markings needs to be non-angled/forward facing, glare-free and in macro mode. See post # 2 for list.

When you post back with new pictures, please make sure to either resubmit all previous info/pics, or quote your initial request/previous posts, so I have all pertinent info pertaining to your request contained in one post.

Thanks @ironic568 for all the hard work you do around here seriously. Not just saying it because I have a pending request but because I just saw pages and pages of authentication requests and you go through them ALL on your free time to do everyone a favor. I don’t think some new PFers realize this is volunteer work for you. Anyway, thank you!

Hello Forum!

I am new to the forum so please bear with me :) I hope I uploaded all information necessary.

While helping my mom clean out her attic, we came across this Chanel handbag. I asked her if it was real, but my mom has never been big into fashion and simply said her great aunt gave it to her in 1982-1983 for her birthday. My great aunt was a fashionable lady, which makes me believe it could be real.

Since my mom is clueless when it comes to fashion, she never took care of the bag as it should have been. She did not store it in a special place or protect it in a dust bag. It's been in our attic, not shielded from the elements, since 2001, and before then, my mom used it off and on. The leather (or what i think is leather) is in really great condition for being stored in a humid/dusty attic. I hope the pictures and general timeline of when the bag was new will help in authenticating this bag.

In doing my own research, I found that this bag does have a YKK zipper, stitching seems to be quality, evenly spaced, all around, and the tassel seems to be similar to those used in the 1980's. Also, there is no cloth lining in the bag, it is a leather interior as well.

Hope you can help me out :)

Item Name (if you know it): Unknown
SERIAL NUMBER: Early 1980's bag - no serial number available
Link (if available): No
Seller: My Mom's bag
Who took the pictures: Me
