So I bought a lambskin Chanel square mini off of FASHIONPHILE and noticed the quilting is different from most of the other ones I’ve seen. Supposedly it’s one from 2009. Notice the sides and bottom quiltings are much puffier than the darker pink version (which is the one I’m used to seeing). Is this how the square minis used to look like or did I get a super fake?

If you have any doubts about authenticity you should return the item or get it authenticated elsewhere. Members cannot assist with authenticating. That being said, this was a seasonal 'one-off' style that does not look like other years. It was/is called a softer lamb/puffy lamb and is 100% normal. I believe it only came in few colors and they were all rather soft/squat and not stiff so they might lose shape over time. Fashionphile now uses photos of bags that do not necessarily correspond to the bag you're buying--the pic you included of the base is a different bag.

Thank you! I was looking into it and looks similar to their “washed lambskin” bags that came out years ago??
 
Hi all,

In your opinion, what colour would you say this WOC is? D. Bge, beige, orange, caramel?

Also, the leather, grained calfskin or caviar?

I’m looking a caramel like this one (see below). Same colour or no :thinking: TIA

It looks to be brown caviar with a strong orange undertone. The zipper tape will usually give a stronger idea of the color and this one is quite orange-y. The one you prefer seems more of a true dark brown and is in lambskin. Different colors imo.
