Please identify this CHANEL

Does anyone know if this bag is a Chanel? Terrible photos I know, but it's from the 1963 film Charade with Audrey Hepburn. The clothing designer was Givenchy, but the film also featured other designer goods such as LV luggage. It has a flap, four grommets, gold chain, smooth leather, and a gold turn lock (which looks oval). Sounds like a Chanel, I'm just wondering if other designers copied these elements.
Here's a GIF of the bag:

I should add that I decided to contact Givenchy regarding this handbag out of curiosity (and love of history), and they kindly notified me that despite several researches, their Heritage Department was unable to confirm that this handbag was designed by Monsieur de Givenchy. They added that they can however confirm that several of the handbags worn by Audrey Hepburn in this film were not Givenchy bags. Good to know!

You have to use a third party/private service that you find. The Chanel forum has several threads discussing third party authenticators if you use the search feature.

If there is a hologram sticker inside the first few digits can help figure out the collection/year it comes from. To figure out if it's real you have to use a third party/private service that you find. The Chanel forum has several threads discussing third party authenticators if you use the search feature.

It's the new variation on the My perfect mini. 22P, not out yet but probably very soon. Watch this thread for when it'll release: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/chanel-spring-summer-2022-act1-22p.1044518/

Hi all,

Can anyone identify this vintage Chanel? I can hardly find any information on "tri-border" online, but it seems to be from a reputable retailer.

Thank you in advance!

It's called an envelope flap and it's done in lambskin, and was made from about 1986-1988. I've seen black ones before on reseller sites. To figure out if it's real you have to use a third party/private service that you find. The Chanel forum has several threads discussing third party authenticators if you use the search feature. Google images and you'll likely see many, they aren't hard to find.

Thank you @ccbaggirl89,

I've found a couple of photos, and some very similar ones now. I'm so torn between that and a more classic (but also double the price) vintage double flap. Decisions, decisions! Whatever I decide I'll be sure to check out an independent authenticator. Many thanks!

Hiii! New person here. So excited to find you. I've had this in my stash forever, my Mum found it in an opshop and we've never thought to investigate if it was authentic or not (I'm so sorry if this is obviously fake or anything, I'm new to this). But wanted to check and find out any info about it. I'm thinking about using it as my actual bag but basically need to know how much I should look after it haha. It also is in pretty worn condition and needs a really good clean of the stitches and stuff. If it is real, can anyone suggest what I do without ruining it more? I'm in Melbourne Australia.
