I sincerely hope someone here can assist me in photographing the serial number inside a medium Caviar classic flap bag. I am getting extremely frustrated, and angry, because trying to take a pic is making me afraid I’m messing up the bag, because I have to keep opening and stretching.
I tried putting my iPhone inside, I tried putting my iPad inside, all I am getting are bad, blurry pictures.
Is there a way to do this? What am I doing wrong? Any help will be very appreciated.

I don’t know where the sticker is, I’m guessing in a pocket or fold?
Try using a mirror. Slip the mirror along side of the sticker and take a picture of the image in the mirror.
 
This is what I’m getting.
Because the camera needs to be held farther away, it won’t focus.
This never happened with my older phones, but it is happening with my iPhone 13.

If you have a flash light or a second phone with a flash light, try shining the light in on the sticker which might help. Depending on the bag, you could also gently pull out the leather lining. I’ve done this to take photos for a medium classic flap and a mini rectangular for authentication, and it didn’t damage the bag.
