Hi authenticators,

I am really lusting after this beautiful dark red mini square (my dream combo and size!). I tried searching as much information as I could online and after some crazy search, I suspect it came from the Pre-Fall/Winter 2012 line (see second to last pic) but I cannot quite tell if they did release a mini square in this colour combo.

Item: Chanel Classic Flap Square Mini Lambskin in Bordeaux Red with GWH
Serial Number: 16873965
Listing number: 172829477471
Seller: tmahatdejk

Comments:
There're a few red flags that ring the alarm for me: 1) I couldn't find much information on this bordeaux colour, let alone the sizes available (how could no one talk about this beauty?!?!) ; 2) the quilt of the back pocket does not completely align with the background [see top right corner of the back pocket] (and seller claims it's brand new so shouldn't be from wear-and-tear); 3) seller's recent ratings were virtually all from selling lower price-point items. Could it be a trap? Or am I just overthinking?

I checked the pictures following the online guidance and advice; it looked likely to be authentic to me but I want to make sure it's not because I want it so bad. It's frustrating that I couldn't find a comprehensive list of past Chanel bag collections online (to my surprise) to cross-check...

A second/ third opinion is much, much appreciated.

Need to see non-blurry up close shots of the full serial #, CHANEL MADE IN stamp and both sides of the zipper pull.
If my memories serves me well, 12A did have square minis in this color/leather/hardware combo.

Hi! First timer here. I got this bag at an estate sale and I have had the hardest time authenticating. It does not have any stamps or serial numbers. It is vintage, so I thought that might have something to do with it. I would say it's a fake EXCEPT that the leather is real and buttery smooth. So why put such nice leather on a fake. I think the interior lining is vinyl. I read something about bags in the 80s getting "repaired" using vinyl interior. Could explain the lack of stamps. There is a sticky place in the interior pocket where a hologram sticker might have been at one point. Any help would be much appreciated.

Item: Large double strap tote
Serial number: NA
Link: NA (awaiting authenticity to post)
Fake.

It's authentic. I don't know the name, but this tote was indeed released by Chanel. The underside of the zipper head showing the CC logo is correct.
 
Dear Authenticators, I know you are very busy and I appreciate you taking your time to review requests. Thank you.

Item Name (if you know it): Chanel Rectangular Mini Flap
SERIAL NUMBER: 23532627
Link (if available): N/A
Seller: Private seller from Chanel Addicted Facebook group
Who took the pictures: I took the pictures
History of the bag: According to the receipt the item came with, the bag was purchased by original seller from the Chanel boutique at Tysons Galleria on 11/1/16. It was sold to second owner through the Chanel Addicted Facebook group on 8/3/17 and purchased by me from the second owner on 8/16/17 because the second owner said it was too long for her.
Comments: I understand that the newer series classic flap bags should really be sent in for a physical inspection and authentication and I do plan on doing that but just wanted to know for the time being and for peace of mind if the bag looks okay until I get the chance to do so.
I'd need to see a sharper, non-glare picture of the CHANEL MADE IN stamp and a more up close shot of the serial #, but it looks great so far.

Please help me authenticate this bag.

Item Name (if you know it): chanel medium double flag caviar, with gold hardware
SERIAL NUMBER: 21774411 (the serial number on the card and bag are the same. And the hologram inside tje bag has 2 chanel gold logos
Seller: Finn.no
Who took the pictures: owner of the bag and me
History of the bag: it was bought in 2015 at 57th st. NYC chanel store.

When i counted the stitching its between 8-9 only.. then the gap between the cc logo and chanel word its 2cm. I struggle a bit with the hologram since it was so hard to take a picture of it.
If you bought this bag, I hope you can return it. It's fake.
