Hi all!

Long time lurker, first time poster. And I sort of hate that my first post is asking for help instead of contributing, BUT I would really love your help on authenticating a purse I purchased (hasn't arrived). I am no expert, but I don't see any red flags expect for that is 20 series (Worried about super fakes), wondering if the "made in France" looks blurry" or it is just a bit too puffy and too good to be true? A reissue at Nordstrom this weekend was actually puffier looking than this. Also, I do know that she gave the incorrect measurements, but that is pretty common on preloved sites I have found. Thank you in advance and hopefully I can attach photos correctly.

would like to see a more clear, up-front photo of the hologram sticker
Please always repost your additional info or photos requested with the original information about the listing or item you are requesting authentication for, so that we don't have to jump between posts to reference as this is a fast-moving thread with multiple posts in between.

Hi Roku,

Thank you for taking a look. The original post is below. I will try to attach the original photos from my first post. In addition is a closer look at the hologram photo plus an additional photo. The link to the bag is live and you can see the photos (And additional photos) even larger. It *seems* to me that it met the hologram guidelines of the 20 series. But I REALLY appreciate your knowledge in looking in over.

Try to take pictures outside in natural light. If you use a camera, put it in the macro mode.
If taking pictures with your phone, you can zoom in first and wait for it to focus before taking a shot.
I know it's hard to take quality pictures of the serial nr., but it can be done.

I hope this picture is good, I put it by the window20170217_145722.jpg

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 without a login shot nor from most 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.
