I own several vintage and newer bags that I've purchased at the CHANEL stores both in Paris, Europe, and the U.S. I can say that the rules above are for more recent handbags not for vintage. The bags I have from the 70's-early 90's vary. The 90's bags have auth. Numbers but the earlier models I own and my sisters/mother own do not. You can, however, tell the high quality of the stitching and craftsmanship on my vintage. That is why I don't know if I will ever part with them..even though I am sometimes tempted in here to let a few go! They are so timeless that they are worth every penny! Good luck!
iysh
@busylizzie good information!!! Nothing like vintage!
busylizzie
@iysh Sometimes I think the vintage is better than the new! It is definitely a better way to purchase your first one as some are less expensive!

@iysh Thank so much for this information, I'm looking for my first Chanel and don't want to get scammed👏👏
iysh

jewelzie
@iysh thank uuuuuu soooo much!! I often wondered how to tell the difference! 👍😄👍
iysh
@jewelzie ahhhh!! Not to bad after you look at this! 😉 Took me hours to figure it out, figured I could save others the hassle!! 😉😉

These are nice tips but don't apply exclusively to all Chanel bags. My biggest recommendation would be to examine and feel real Chanel in person. Once you become familiar w the quality of this label, you will realize it is absolutely impossible to be duped into buying a fake. I have never ever encountered a "copy" that was actually good enough to trick someone who has true firsthand experience w Chanel. Good luck!

pmwalsh
@iysh Could you take a look at 1900lys? She is listing a vintage Chanel and just wanted your opionion regarding the price and authenticity. Thanks!
iysh
@pmwalsh hey there, it's tough to tell until you actually hold the bag in your hands 😁😁 it looks good, logo looks good, does she have matching authenticity card? Really tough, good thing is if you purchase you have 3 days to decline, I'm sorry I couldn't help much 😔

Hi, thank you for being informative 😊 I myself is looking for a Chanel purse and I hate to spend a couple grand then you find out later it's a fake one.... I also have a question about where it's made from like made in Paris, France or Italy ?? I saw most of them is from Italy or France. Thanks
stineweitzel
I would love to have one for my B-Day ( December 25) but I know my husband will tell me NO 😢😢So I'm going 2. Save my money and buy myself the bag ... This is so beautiful

@busylizzie I was thinking of buying my first Chanel as a vintage piece also- I really love the history of it also. Still think about it . This was very informAtive also - hate to buy a fake- I didn't know that about the stitching being seamless
busylizzie
@chrisvirgo yes. The stitching has to line up and in the older vintage bags the cushioned look on the lambskin will lie flatter than when brand news if it's super puffy then I would question it. Also, as lambskin is so delicate, I always keep the chains INSIDE of the handbag so it won't damage the exterior. That is how CHANEL tells you to properly store them. My brand new lambskin wallet I got for Mother's Day did not come with a dustcover. So some items will only come in the boxes with a cloth-like material over it. My Husband bought it at the Rodeo Drive store for me and I love it's vintage look!!😍 My older handbags are awesome and I always get more compliments on them than my new ones.

@bauthentica aren't you the same person as @handbaghustlah?? So one closet for "authentic" and one for "fakes" I should have read your communications before buying! Flat out RUDE...

So helpful!! But still having a hard time figuring out if this is authentic https://poshmark.com/listing/CHANEL-Black-Lambskin-Flap-Chain-Shoulder-bag-5ef08698c693bd2c9556f255
cryoung301
I’ve seen fakes so good you can’t tell and they’ve been authenticated. If you can afford a $10000 bag whybuy off Poshmark? Makes no sense when you can buy one from actual Chanel store or Neiman’s. Seen listings here where bag is listed as “rare” or “one of a kind” and that same bag is sitting inside Chanel shop for almost same price. Maybe something’s wrong with me but it don’t get it. Even worse some authentic bags failed PM Authentication and seller’s account was blocked. What a joke
cryoung301
Anyway this is still great info and thanks for sharing
