**CLOSED** Authenticate This CHANEL

[Roku]

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!

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.

+1
don't see any red flags either

Hi everyone! Would greatly appreciate help with authenticating this:

Item: Chanel Knitted Small Boy Shoulder Bag
Serial Number: 20652591
Listing number: -
Seller: HerBag
Link: https://www.tradesy.com/bags/chanel-shoulder-bag-black-20239111/
Comments: I've been looking for this bag for awhile and really really want it! But I've never bought on Tradesy before and would like some peace of mind before I fork out the $ for the purchase as well as overseas shipping. Thank you in advance

Gorgeous bag! I recently purchased a bag from tradesy, but direct from seller. If you have any questions about authenticity, once you receive, they will let you send to them for authentification at their headquarters, and will cover shipping, as well as return shipping back to you if bag is indeed authenticate. Personally, in addition to full refund, I'd ask them to have seller reimburse you for shipping if it was determined fake! Im still in limbo with my first Chanel and first tradesy bag, as they just received it at their headquarters. However, so far, I'm glad they stand behind their authenticity promise, and they seemed happy to look into any questionable item, free of charge. It makes sense, because they want to instill faith in a customer base, that is also very referral dependent. Good for you getting it evaluated here first before even taking that plunge; I wish I had known to do that beforehand too!
