This one looks identical to yours and it's listed as 'front pocket (chain) tote'? I don't know for sure since I'm not familiar with vintage pieces. Do you still have the authenticity card? The photo shows that the bag has a serial # but probably inside the pocket or the flap, maybe you can check.

Yes! Looks very much like this one. I purchased from TRR and can’t recall if I got a card with it.
 
I’m thinking of selling this bag I got from The Real Real many years ago but can’t remember the name. Also, I’ve been searching for the serial number and unable to find it. Can anyone tell me the name of it and where the SN would be located?

Real Real doesn’t show my purchase anymore so I can’t look it up.

With these older bags sometimes the serial number is inside a pocket.

Hi,

Can anyone identify this Chanel bag for me? According to the serial number, it is produced in 2019. Considering the dual colored chain I think it’s a late 2018/early 2019 model. But I can’t find it on the Chanel catalog website.

Thanks a lot :)!

Help needed.
I recently purchased a 2014/15 Chanel Square mini from a very reputable website (probably supposedly the best out there). But I also accidentally came across a Facebook post selling the exact same bag (same serial code) about 1.5 months before I scored mine on this website. And there are discrepancies all over. May I get some help ID this bag? And what should I do? Thank you!

I noticed a few differences between the Facebook seller post, the reputable seller listing, and the bag I received:
1. the box -
a. the facebook seller has a full pink sticker on the box exterior
b. the reputable seller listing does not show the box
c. the box I received, the pink sticker is missing a corner.
2. the condition -
a. the facebook seller mentioned that the strap and top of pocket are retouched;
b. the reputable seller listing's photos showed scuffing marks on the top of pocket and chain (chain scuff is not so obvious).
c. the bag I received does not show scuffing on the top of the pocket. The chain, however, has a few of the metal rings in a weird position, so the chain is not a smooth straight chain, it pops in a few locations.
3. the authenticity card -
a/b. the authenticity card looked the same on facebook post and reputable seller listing
c. The numbers on the authenticity card are definitely "skinnier" than other Chanel authenticity cards I have at home.
4. the zipper on the interior pocket -
I don't own other classic mini bags, but the zipper somewhat looked odd to me.

Overall, seeing this bag being sold on a Facebook post made me feel very uncomfortable about the source/authenticity of this bag. The condition differences between what reputable seller listing showed and what I received also did not make it better. And the authenticity card only added to the doubts.

Perhaps post this in the Chanel resellers experiences thread to get opinions on this IG seller. You can also search there to see if they are mentioned. This IG seller has purchased an item from me (she reached out to me to purchase an item I had for sale on a resale platform, but I have never purchased from her), but I think she is found to be very reputable. I am not sure who the reseller is that you purchased from, I assume it is a different reseller than the IG reseller. From your description I am guessing it is the reseller starting with the initials BP? If so, why don’t you reach out to that reseller? The IG seller usually has items at a very good deal so it could be that the reseller you purchased from purchased the bag from the IG seller, or perhaps a customer purchased from IG and then sold to the reseller you purchased from.
