I'm waiting to hear from those who have received their bags with the plate. Like what's the review and how they feel about it with use.
No more authenticity cards?

I purchased a small boy bag in Sydney last week and I can confirm no authenticity card here either. I had to check with my SA assistant. Apparently from the current season, they will no longer be the card and as stated above, the metal plate.
The plate is small and on the inside flap. It barely noticeable and doesn't add any weight.

Oh I didn't ask about warranty. When I spoke to her about not having the card, she mentioned the metal plate on the inside which has a special number on it.
I bought the last Jumbo with authenticity card in our store. (31 series) The new plate is not scanable but they did it because people lost the authenticity card. You get 5 year waranty on classics since april 2021. You have to scan a qr code on your phone in the store en they wil fill in a form. With your name and serienumber of the bag etc. Then you are registered for the Chanel et moi program
I just wonder how it works if the bag is bought as a gift, or on behalf of someone who doesn’t live near a boutique? So confusing
I just bought this Classic Flap in Beige Caviar today at Takashimaya Singapore. The metal plate looks like this. I just covered the serial no. which is a combination of letters and numbers and is also written in the booklet and receipt. My SA said it is not microchip. She did not tell us to register or do anything also. Ill ask her tom if I need to or maybe she did it for me already or maybe not needed at all. ☺

so they got rid of the authenticity card and replaced the serial sticker with a metal plate because it's harder to come off?
Am i missing something?
sad that it seems like we won't be able to identify the "season" a bag is from with the number anymore...
hopefully there are more benefits that will gradually come to light.

I think it loses the fun of identifying/hunting a particular season bag (of course thus discouraging the reseller market).
I've seen the plates that are alphanumeric. I wonder does that translate to something that is "layman"? Or totally won't make sense to consumers in terms of year/season made?

So I messaged my SA regarding the registration, if I need to register, she said not to worry because the item is registered under my profile and already entitled with the 5 years warranty.

Will WOC’s and SLG’s have these too? I’d think they’d be an issue considering how thick they look.
Woc's do, but the SLG's I have seen do still have cards.
