**CLOSED** Authenticate This CHANEL

[Daria13]

Here are the quotes for original messages and pictures once again... I hope that this is what you meant. I don’t mean to spam the forum with copies of the same stuff.

Hi again, sorry for not doing it right during my first attempt.
Item name: Chanel Airline Collection Summer 2016 Double Flap
- Serial number: 22579689
- Listing number: no listing available. Photo of a bag in front of my profile is attached
- Seller: private
- Comments:
This is my first attempt to buy a gently pre-loved Chanel item from a friend of a friend of a friend... She states that she bought it in a boutique in France but i don’t have any reason to trust or mistrust her, since we were not aquanted before.

The bag looks great and genuine by almost all measures but 2! Issues that make me wonder...

1. The stitch on the inside flap is not ideally straight, like its ‘supposed to be’ on a genuine bag?

2. The ends of leather straps that weave inside the chains are not finished nicely (waxed) at the ends and are slightly sticking out...

Can that happen with a genuine bag? Or am i looking at the good replica.

Please-please help! I would really appreciate your opinions and expert advice!!!

Thank you very much in advance!

And some more pictures including the issues that are in doubt...

Hey I would really love if you will help me authenticate this Chanel. I'm sure it's fake, because of the yellow color of the hardware, and the missing "r" after Chanel inside, but it would be really nice to know.

Again, I'm very grateful for all your help!
