I just purchased the micro sized BA.. it doesn't have the metal plate but has a sticker with serial number and no authenticity card. I was told that there are no longer authenticity cards with small leather goods. Anyone know why there's a serial number if there isn't a card along with it? Is this something new?
No more authenticity cards?

Hi everyone, I am
new to this community but it feels great to be here.
Now to the topic: I recently bought a Small Boy Bag from Vienna store and here’s how the procedure goes in EU. You will see how the authentication becomes 100%.
1. At checkout you have to scan a QR-code tied to that particular purchase with all the details.
2. You have to scan the barcode with your smartphone and fill-in a form for registering your bag. If it is a gift, you can add another person’s details.
3. The invoice comes to your email account a few minutes later.
4. Next day you will be sent an email by Chanel with a specific link to your bag in the Chanel&Moi Club.
5. No personal data is shared at the Chanel&Moi website, you can only find details about the bag.
6. The link can be shared by you with anyone you want to. So when you’re about to buy a pre-loved Chanel with metal plate, you have to ask for this link.
7. Tags may be scannable but my SA told me they need it themselves so don’t give to the buyer any more.
I think anyone can go to a Chanel store within 5 years for warranty; Why couldn’t I ask my husband or mother to help me, right?
But this only works for bags. Chanel doesn’t register your SLGs to the system, you only get a digital invoice (but no card) which is harder to loose.

Hi there,
I’m considering purchasing a microchipped bag preloved.
If the seller does not have the invoice and the Chanel and moi club login but is having it authenticated through Michelle Jessica - what level of comfort would you have over authenticity? Generally speaking I know the boutique looks down upon resale so I am shy about taking it into a boutique.
Also, if down the line I decide I want to sell the bag, would you think not having this information would hurt resale? I can’t imagine people giving out their logins to Chanel&moi as it personal information. Not to mention, if registration is not transferable, I’m not sure how useful it would be.

I also had the same dilemma before, and thought I would never go the reseller route, but I bite the bullet and bought a few preloved Chanel that I had missed out on, and also took advantage of Rebag ClairTrade. ( I only buy at Fashionphile and Rebag) so that I at least have some sort of records even if came from a reseller company. I also had those bags authenticated by Michelle Jessica of DesignerPawn.com and Real Authentication for also my peace of mind.
