Expert Chanel verification with certificate of authenticity.

How we authenticate Chanel

Our experts verify every detail against known authentic Chanel specifications. Here are the key checkpoints we examine.

1

Serial number sticker

Every Chanel bag has a serial number sticker with a unique holographic pattern. The format changed across production years and we verify against known databases.

2

Authenticity card

The matching authenticity card must have the same serial number, correct gold foil printing, and the right card stock for the production era.

3

CC turn lock alignment

The interlocking CC logo on the turn lock must be perfectly aligned. The right C always overlaps the left C at the top, and vice versa at the bottom.

4

Chain & leather weave

We examine the chain weight, link shape, and leather weave pattern. Authentic chains have a specific weight and the leather is woven through in a consistent pattern.

5

Quilting pattern

Diamond quilting must align perfectly across the front flap and body. Stitch count, puffiness, and alignment at seams are all verified.

6

Interior stamps & lining

The interior 'Made in France/Italy' stamp, Chanel logo stamp, and lining material are checked against known authentic specifications.
