It makes one wonder if the super fakes might be the better deal? I have been hearing the boy bag replicas are indistinguishable from the outside and look exactly like the authentic! Now I know why!
My professor told me Chanel bags are all made in China but assembled in Europe?

I cannot believe you even said that !!! (fainting on the spot).
I could never have a fake anything - would rather have an authentic item at a lower price point.
Fakes are never justifiable no matter how good they are and never a "better deal".
Replicas encourage crime. A seller could pass off a replica as an authentic item. That is cheating. Chanel needs to work harder to catch the replica makers and up the quality of their products so that replicas couldn't be made so easily. Or at least some method to prove the authenticity of their product other than the current hologram sticker.
It doesn't make one wonder at all. There are about 500 posts on this thread and still NO evidence whatsoever that any of the made in china saga is even remotely true. ( well apart from the FAKE CHANEL bags which are ) CHANEL Lambskin classics are made in France, as the label states clearly and some seasonal bags are made in Italy. There is far too much speculation and people who have 'friends' with 'friends' who know people who work in factories in china making CHANELs. There is definitely an agenda here....
There are several articles regarding this topic at : www.jingdaily.com - I didn't see any confirmation, just discussion.
I am sure many people have this same question, but in the end, a fake will always be a fake (even the most 'perfect' fake).
Agree, Chanel and many other brands need to do a better job stopping the fake market. Fakes are like garden weeds, very hard to control.
Not sure if another method to prove authenticity would work, it would likely be immediately replicated.
The collaboration of countries where the fakes are produced would certainly help IMO, but the fake business generates high revenues ... It's a very complicated issue!
I wonder if OP had a chance to discuss further the "Made In" issue with her professor, it's an interesting subject.
Preach!
(And re: Ikea, I have even heard of moving companies in the US that will not offer guarantees on the safety of your furniture if it happens to be by that brand!
)
My dear the Chinese press is known for many things, impartiality not really being among them. I cannot possibly take any if this seriously.
LOL! Just because something is made in China doesn't mean that it must be rubbish. China for example produces wondeful silk. So the lining inside the jacket, if it is made of silk from China, surely it cannot be bad?
Also, most of Chanel's wool and cashmere items are made in the UK.
