Zip YKK on jumbo

[marghemu]

Hi I'm a newbie with Chanel, and i had just gotten my first ever Chanel Jumbo beige double flap , year 2012 -Anyway, I was inspecting it and noticed that the zipper has a "YKK" marking. I was just curious if this is normal?

I have a jumbo double flap from 2012, the only zipper I can find on the bag is the on the underside of the top flap.

The zipper does not say YKK.

This sounds weird. Did you have it authenticated?

Hello, yes Chanel classic flaps uses 'YKK' zipper, also 'EP'. Sometimes they use 'Lampo' as well.

Yes! Mine says EP!

My medium large classic flap has YKK zipper too. I bought it last year from the boutique.

I think this is another example that shows you can't follow an internet guide to what is supposed to show authenticity. It's many things all together, related to the age of the bag and type. Chanel has used many styles of zippers.
