Hello everyone, I am new to this site so hopefully I am not breaking any protocols of posting :)
I was searching for a place to post a "pre-athentication" question, as it may be glaringly obvious with existing info and photos that this item isn't a true Chanel Classic Flap, but couldn't find a more casual thread to post general questions.
The item in question is a one year old black Caviar Classic Flap being sold on Kijiji Canada: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1541600244

My three authentication questions are :
1) The bag is made in Italy but the snap button says Chanel Paris. Are these supposed to match?
2) The stitched CC logo is puffy, but other Caviars I've seen are flat. Does this vary?
3) The sticker (or a sticker) in the final photo appears to be placed not in the bottom left of the interior but within the interior pocket. Is this normal, or could it be a Japanese sticker?

I really appreciate any thoughts on these authentication questions, if that's possible. I thought I'd ask here before asking the seller for a list of all new photos, in case those points automatically deem the bag inauthentic before an official authentication actually takes place.
Thank you!

Hi, it's me again - except a bit more worried now.. I took out my Small Chanel Boy bag (blue) that I bought in the Amsterdam Chanel boutique to compare with the Old Medium (black) in question. I did notice some differences, but realize it may just be a size thing. Hoping you could help me confirm this, as I know super fakes are getting better and better..

1) The strap holder is thinner on the blue Small vs. on the black Old Medium (highlighted in the yellow bracket - IMG_0026) - not sure if that's because of the size difference? Also, the stitching looks more curved inwards on the black vs. the straight even stitching on my blue

2) The CC logos on the strap look more pronounced and deeper on my blue small to me, and the black one is still engraved but seems more shallow

3) The black Old Medium's cleaning cloth booklet's Chanel logo is aligned to the top a few inches more and in a lighter gray font vs. the one I received in-store (to the right), which is black and centered perfectly.

4) The cleaning cloth itself has uneven stitching and frayed edges (not sure if the cleaning cloths are just poor quality, but this seems surprising to me). The one I have from my blue bag does not have any frayed ends or uneven stitching.

5) The booklet also has a different date / year format (circled on IMG_3781) -- not sure if this is because I bought this abroad in Europe, or perhaps a new update.

Wanted to run these by you first to see if they're worth getting an in-person authentication service involved, or if these are confirmed size differences / quality issues from Chanel. Thank you so much for all that you do for this community!!

Very likely fine, but pls request a more up close picture of the serial sticker and a forward facing picture of the CHANEL MADE IN stamp for me to confirm.

Bag is fake.

1) No, they are not supposed to match
2) A puffy, or flat stitched CC in a classic flap depends on the size, not the leather. Small and medium = puffy. Jumbo and Maxi = flat.
3) It's the serial sticker and placement is wrong.
