I don’t ever worry about that because I can tell the difference. The date code is generally a dead giveaway. The counterfeiters cannot replicate the font and numbers.
That's good to know. I hear so much about fakes on TPF that it's scared me off the pre-loved market. I still don't think I would trust myself to pick out a fake. I'd have to have it authenticated. Not sure sellers want to wait for that to happen. Thanks for your response.

I used to live in Keller, TX. Moved to the tundra of Minnesota.
I just moved here after leaving the similarly frozen tundra of Michigan. LOL! I can’t stand the cold. :huh:
Don't you worry abt fakes when you buy on FB?

I don’t worry so much about fakes because I can do a rough job of pre authenticating myself. And, I always pay through PayPal with my credit card so I have two levels of protection. Then I get my Chanels professionally authenticated by Etinceler or Leather Surgeons once I receive them.

In fact, I just got today’s bag from a lovely person on FB. :nuts: This is her maiden voyage. LOL! Chanel red lamb Jumbo double flap w/shw. 6DC6C793-62E0-4583-B5F4-1C10B1153E9F.jpeg

Michigan! That’s where I grew up. Then I went to NJ, and now MA. I hate the cold with a passion but can’t seem to get away from it.:hrmm:

Your new Chanel is beautiful. I’ll be curious to see if the double flap bothers you.
