Ideally I would need to see the zipper pull and back plate of the mademoiselle lock, but I'm certain this bag is authentic.

Missing some important pictures for authentication. Please take a look at page 1 of this thread for guidance on the right posting format and required pictures.
If you bought this bag and want an evaluation, please take all necessary pictures (up close and clear) upon receipt, then post them quoting your initial request.

For all future authentications, we would like to encourage you to participate throughout the community besides just the authentication threads.

PLEASE READ FOR POSTING INSTRUCTIONS:


We'd like to ask all posting for authentication to please read the first two posts of this thread PRIOR to posting.

Please remember this is a volunteer thread and we cannot always guide each member as to what information is missing in order to process each request.

We ask that you please post in the required format with the necessary photos. We ask this of you not to make things difficult to obtain an authentication, but for the following reasons:
  1. The format allows for any member to search the database prior to purchase to see if the bag/slg has been authenticated previously.
  2. Searching for the serial # prior to posting or purchase will show if it is known counterfeit serial #.
  3. Required pictures are needed to give an accurate assessment.
  4. Format helps give the authenticator pertinent details.
  5. Maintains consistency and allows us to maintain a searchable database available for all to search.
The number one reason authentication requests are skipped is because the format is not followed. The second reason is the request is missing necessary pictures to provide authentication.

Be an informed buyer. Ask the seller to provide the necessary pictures PRIOR to purchase or posting. This not only protects you as the buyer, but also provides you with the pictures necessary for authentication. You will also need the necessary photos for your reference upon receipt.

Authentications ARE NOT currently done on orphan images or from social media sites. if the bag is in your POSSESSION, you need to include a LOGIN SHOT (the bag in front of your device while logged into your tPF account).

REQUIRED PICTURES:

  1. Front, back, sides and bottom of bag
  2. Up close, straight on picture of the Chanel and Made In Stamp
  3. Up close, straight on picture of the serial number in the bag
  4. The backplate of the turn lock
  5. The front CC closure
  6. Internal hardware (zipper pulls, snap, etc.)
  7. Exterior hardware (male and female parts of a flap closure, rings on totes, decorative hardware, etc.)
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN OPINION WHEN ALL REQUIRED PICTURES CANNOT BE PROVIDED. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE AN INFORMED OPINION AND CAN ONLY DO SO WITH ALL RELEVANT PICTURES.

If you are unsure how to post, please read back a few pages and note how others have posted processed requests.

We want to help you get your request processed upon the first request.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please do not PM authenticators for authentications, unless you are invited to do so.

Please remember this is a completely volunteer thread and requests will be processed as soon as possible. It is understood that you're excited and or nervous about your upcoming purchase(s). Please respect the authenticators' personal time, as they're members just like you and lead full lives outside of tPF. Sometimes requests simply cannot be processed immediately.

If you are in need of an urgent authentication kindly contact one of the recommended paid services as posted throughout the thread.

Thank you all for your understanding!! :smile:

I usually don't authenticate 17 million+ series classic boys, classic flaps, GSTs, WOCs and reissues unless it's from a reputable seller that I know and trust, due to the proliferation of superfakes, or unless it's a bag that to me is clearly counterfeit. Unfortunately most paid services do not do these either unless you mail them the bag.

Of course, if I am still able to tell you if it's a "definite fake" or "definite superfake" I will still comment, so you are not discouraged from posting these bag requests, but please make note of the above.
