No more authenticity cards?

[sizz]

I got a 19 from 21a recently and the SA gave me a QR code to scan and we registered the bag at the store. I only had to put my name and serial code in. Then the next day I received an email with a link which shows me a pic of the bag, the serial number, material, model, date of purchase and expiration date of the warranty size etc. It‘s a pretty solid way to authenticate bags tbh, given that resellers would provide the link etc, definitely makes it harder for resellers to resell and prove authenticity though, but safer than card imho

Guessing this is not in the US? I haven't yet heard of anyone going through an online registration in the US...

If it is the US...would love to know if it was standalone or Dept. store?

Wonder if like most of their policies Chanel will implement this in some hap hazard fashion...

Has anyone in the US been provided with a link or any such instructions to register? I was not told anything particular...but ofcourse I have the code on my receipts.

I purchased a bag with a microchip on Saturday and specifically asked if I needed to register or do anything and the sales associate said “no.” Perhaps she did it for me, but told me there was nothing for me to do.

looks like the system is not the same across countries..

I guess we just need to wait and see on someone's first report here if she were to bring her metal plated bag to Chanel for repair.

I just took out my bag tonight and couldn’t find the card either. I thought it got lost. I too have the stamp block. I’m glad I found this post. I was like how did I lose it? LV did the same as well. I keep my authenticity cards but I know many misplace. Thanks for posting.

This concerns me because with no consistent procedure the resale market of Chanel bags is going to be the wild Wild West. I guess there’s always the option of sending a bag in for spa service to know for sure it’s authentic, but it would be preferable to get that peace of mind prior to purchase…

I bought a 19 yesterday and was looking for a card as well. My SA did explain de Chanel & Moi programme to me, but did not explicitly mention that there would be no more card. I did have to scan a QR code, filled in a (small) form, including the number on the plate and now I will receive confirmation next week ( I live in Northern Europe btw )
I‘m glad i found this thread, was worrying I lost the card already right after unboxing!

Hi!

I bought a classic black wallet on chain today for my mom fresh from the boutique, when I went back home I couldn’t find the authenticity card so I immediately contacted my SA, she researched and came back saying that this is a new system, there’s like a metal plate in the bag that has a code and no authenticity card.. it seems that Chanel is phasing out those cards? I think LV already started doing something similar.. She reassured me that my bag arrived today to the boutique and was untouched and that it’s a “new system” I thought I’d share this interesting info and see if anyone else knows about it.. the WOC is made in France. Here’s a photo of the new metal plate:

Hi! Quick question - does it still have the serial number Sticker in the bag?

It doesn’t

It doesn’t

Hahaha that’s what I thought! A pretty big reseller on IG is telling me since yesterday that a bag I laid eyes on would be brand new from the boutique but doesn’t come with the card anymore as it has the number written inside the bag and then sends me a pic of the old serial number sticker . I kind of tried asking politely if they are kidding me. So they again assured me this would be accurate. No comment or whatsoever on the metal plate.
You can’t make s*** up.

Could it be brand new from boutique but from an older season?

But wouldn't it still come with the Card?
