Bought this cute
crumpled calfskin so black square mini from eBay from a very nice person who claimed to have purchased the bag from
Fashionphile.
It is the first square mini I ever own so I don't have enough knowledge/ experience to decide if the bag "feels right". However, the camellia, ribbon, and dustbag that the bag came with all seem off to me... They are all different from their peers that came with bags I purchased from the Chanel boutique before (some were recent purchases). The leather also feels sort of plastic-y (I don't know if it's just my brain playing tricks on me because I'm uncertain).
This makes me question the bag's authenticity...
Pictures attached. Really need a second opinion!!
Link to google drive album due to the number of pictures.

In the shared folder you will find below:
1) front, back, and side/bottom views of bag
2) CHANEL stamp and MADE IN FRANCE/ITALY stamp (note: in vintage bags, the MADE IN FRANCE/ITALY stamp is directly across the CHANEL stamp on the opposite side). A focused close up photo is required.
3) back side of the CC turnknob showing the 2 screws and CHANEL/PARIS engraving. A focused close up photo is required.
4) engraving on the interior zipper head and hanging ornament, if applicable. A focused close up photo is required.
5) hologram sticker. A focused close up photo is required.
6) number side of authenticity card, if still available
7) Chain & where it is attached to the bag
- the leather is attached to the bag through a metal piece the same as the ones on the chain... I have only seen a D-shaped / O-shaped ring on other minis before this.
- the leather @ the strap is not one piece but 2 which caught me off guard... I have included a picture of it as well
8) the dustbag
- the font size and the material of the drawstring made me wonder
TIA!
