Hi ironic568, I hope these pictures will do. As for the Chanel stamp and serial sticker, I can not get better pictures than the ones provided by the seller. Please refer back to the original link where you can enlarge those photos. Thank you

Picture of the serial # is not ideal, but I nevertheless believe this mini to be authentic.

Here are the additional photos. I hope they are clear enough

Hi! I'm new to this forum and new to Chanel =)

Item Name: (Potentially) White Caviar GST
Serial #: ?? unknown
Found at Goodwill

Comments: I found this bag at a Goodwill in ATL. It was insanely dirty ( Like Pre-Loved is not a good term for it lol), it was behind the counter but had no price tag on it so they sold it to me for $4.99. I figured even if it was a fake $4.99 was worth the risk. I am very new to the designer handbag world but I knew a few things to look for. The leather itself is in very good condition considering what it looked like, just a few scuffs and scratches but nothing really noticeable. The inside lining looks incredibly clean as well (which honestly makes me kind of think its a fake but IDK). It did not come with any sort of authentication no card, no sticker. But scouring the internet and this forum looking at pictures of similar bags I just don't know.

Help! Thank you in advance! =)

It's fake, I'm sorry.

Hello, Please help me authenticate this bag from Fashionphile. Thank you.
Serial number: 517XXX (Fashionphile blacked out last few digits)
Listing number: Fashionphile #170420
Seller: Fashionphile
Link: https://www.fashionphile.com/chanel-vintage-calfskin-stitched-medium-single-flap-black-170420
Comments:
I'm looking at the stitch count, seems to be 8. I read it should be 10-11 per inch. Would Chanel have used this kind of hardware color during 1997? or would it have been the 24kt. I have asked Fashionphile for more pictures and they told me no.

Thank you for the help.

It's authentic.

Comments: Seems to come with everything including a photocopy of the receipt with the details blacked out. The flower is a little bit smaller than some of the other flowers I have but everything else seems the same. I compared to my other 3 WOC from the past few years and they are very close but all my other three has the serial number going the other way so not sure if this is an issue. Looks like the So Black Boy WOC seem to have the serial number this way, Much appreciate your help as always - no one else I trust more!

Got my hubby to help me with photos! Keeping my fingers crossed on this one.View attachment 3737029 View attachment 3737031 View attachment 3737032 View attachment 3737033 View attachment 3737034 View attachment 3737035 View attachment 3737036

I prefer a better up close of the serial sticker, but see no cause for concern with what is shown so far.
All other details look correct for an authentic Chanel.

Hi Ironic568, tried to capture the serial number as close and sharp as possible in natural light and in different angles. Taking my last chance on you still wanting to confirm even if you said there were no red flags but I still am putting my last card on you before I seek the help of an personal authenticator.

I hope these helps.

Thank you so much

Looking good so far, but I'd prefer to see a sharper up close of the serial # to confirm.

Thank you so much! I'm in love with this bag, but have a couple of questions related to it, but unrelated to authenticity. May I ask your opinion here, or is there another forum where I may do so? Thank you, again @ironic568 !

I believe that here are several vintage threads in the main Chanel forum where you can ask general questions regarding vintage. This one is for authentications only
