Some ways to tell if the bag is real.
The best way to check is by touch but if you can't then you'll want to look carefully at the grain. Lambskin should have that fine, buttery soft texture, while calfskin is tougher and very durable.You'll also want to check the leather for glue residue, since a lot of knockoffs are glued together and only have superficial stitching. And speaking of stitching, it should be even, neat and strong. Vintage bags should have a minimum of 10 stitches per inch.
Stitching on Chanel bags is small, refined and delicate. “Chanel is going to do something that lasts a long time . . . the stitching almost looks like a smooth line,” Bernstein said.On fake Chanel bags, the stitching looks “big and aggressive.” “It looks like it’s piercing through the material . [On the fake] it looks like puncture holes because it’s [made of] plastic,” Interlocking CC Logo
The two Cs in Chanel’s iconic logo are interlocked and always appear right over left at the top, an The right C should overlap on top, and left C should overlap on the bottom. If it’s the other way around, it’s a fake. The width of the C should also match the width of the horizontal gap between the two Cs. If the bag you are looking at has a CC on the inside, it should feel soft and not as if there is a card board inside.d left over right at the bottom.Serial stickers were first introduced in 1984 and continue to be used today. As mentioned, numbers on serial stickers should match numbers on the authenticity card. Bags made before this time, don’t have stickers. Most older bags will be missing the sticker because they were just held on with adhesive at that time.
