I’m confused about authenticity of this vintage bag due to the black interior and unlegible hologram sticker I still have the option to send it back to Tradesy for authentication but would prefer to try here first! Thank you!!

Comments: While I know holograms can go missing, I am curious about the unevenness in the gold stamping of the interior.
TIA!

MADE IN stamp picture is with a lot of glare. I'd also like to see pics of zipper pull, back plate and underside of the main zipper head.

Regarding the stamping: Although you would expect otherwise, the sloppy and imperfect gold stamping is by itself not automatically a sign of fake, especially not in vintage pieces. All other details need to be taken in consideration. Chanel is not exactly known for its consistency throughout the years and most of the time, one rule does not apply to all. Whether a detail is correct depends greatly on the bag itself and its year of production. For example, certain fonts/stamping can be an authentic detail on one bag, but a total fake on another.

Below are some examples of imperfect stamping that belong to authentic bags. Some look pretty bad.

Thank you!

Wow, some of those imperfections are awful! I'm surprised their quality control let them go through.

I appreciate your reply.

I need a better up close picture of the sticker and zipper pull. Is the hardware silver, or shiny ruthenium?

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.
