Please request a clear and flash-free close-up of the serial nr. and straight on shots of the hardware on both sides of the bag (where CHANEL is engraved).
Not seeing anything of concern so far, though.

When posting back with new pictures, or info, please remember to quote your initial request/previous posts, so we have all pertinent info pertaining to your item contained in one post :smile:

Hi thanks for the response!

I have requested more pictures with the above.

However, I also sent in an authentication request to Lollipuff and they responded with the following:

We regrettably confirm that this item is considered a counterfeit Chanel. The hardware color on this boy bag is not as expected for its style. The silver should have a grayish tone for the Cruise 2015 style.

While we were able to review this item, most of the time, we need higher-series Chanel boys and classic flaps to accompany their serial card at a minimum. These bags are highly super-faked, and these items need to be scrupulously reviewed. Also, when a higher-series boy or classic flap is being re-sold, it is MUCH harder to sell if the serial card is no longer with it. A lot of people want to see this aspect due to the counterfeit issues that accompany these types of bags.
For reference, the bag can be found here: https://www.lollipuff.com/blog/295/...ection-handbag-bag-size-price-reference-guide

Does this mean the bag is not authentic?

Thanks again for the help!

Does this mean the bag is not authentic?

Thanks again for the help!
I respectfully disagree with Lollipuff jumping the gun on this boy's authenticity. Have they seen this 15C braided boy in person, or do they base the true color of the hardware on that one picture in their blog only? Furthermore, silver hardware (with whatever undertone) can be very hard to photograph due to it being highly reflective. Photographers who don't know how to control and shape light therefore can fail to capture the true color of the metal.
And maybe it's my aging eyes, but depending on the picture and lighting, I do very much see gray/gunmetal undertones in the hardware of this boy on Tradesy.
I stand by my initial observation that I see no cause for concern so far, pending the pictures I requested above.

Unfortunately, but we don't do authentications for footwear. For a small fee you can have your item looked at by Etinceler, or Authenticate4U :)

We ask that all authentication request to either have a link to the listing, or a login shot. Since this flap is in your possession, please repost your request with a login shot
Login shot: the bag in front of your device while logged into your tPF account (showing your username).

Based in some of the pictures provided this bag doesn't look kosher to me, but I'd still like to see a straight on picture of the CHANEL MADE IN stamp and a clear and magnified macro shot of the serial nr.
