No more authenticity cards?

[2manychins]

Woc's do, but the SLG's I have seen do still have cards.

Thank you, that’s interesting

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. ☺

Interesting! I’m glad to hear it’s not a microchip but I wonder if it is essentially a metal, permanent auth card then.

Same story. The SA did not ask to register for the bag.
She said when we return the bags or come in with a bag, they will look up our name with the bag info under our account.

but Im wondering how we can know how old is the bag and which season they are.

also, I have been seeing the series number on the plate.There is really no pattern to it.
Mine is completely off from others.

mine has 1 letter following with numbers then another letter following with numbers.
Some others have both letters together.

Now I wonder how do we interpret them? Haha

I dont think we can, probably part of the reason why Chanel changed the code structure

I thought so too. But I am not quite sure now if that is good thing or a bad thing.

I think it will also be harder now to authenticate bags from the secondary market because of the change. The only way to be sure is to check the code with the boutique and see if the code matches the bag?

Super interesting, thank you for sharing nat. Guess this means nothing scannable or blockchain - literally just a metal plate with a number etched on it.

Absolutely true and i was wondering .. Chanel can get away with selling few years old unsold bags by replacing sticker with a metal plate. People who dont follow releases will never know how old a bag is !

That is soo lame really ! With all the price increases they do they are so technologically behind !
