I really need some help! I would like to sell this purse I just got at a mansion type homes estate sale. It comes in a Chanel white bag, inside the pocket was an authenticity card with serial numbers, a Chanel care booklet. The purse is like brand new (i think it is) and is gorgeous. It's leather, looks, feels and smells like leather, it is a larger tote style embroidered leather with the c and backwards c on front and the silver details on zipper and a couple other spots. inside was a matching small purse (bigger than a change purse).
I looked up the CC and it is made the way an authentic is (the way it overlaps on top and bottom).
Well, long story short, I do not want it or need it, just couldn't pass it up! Does anyone collect these and would like to purchase it. even the cheaply made fakes are expensive, so i am would be amazed if it was real! I can send a picture.
Please let me know if you are interested or would like to share your opinion on it =))) Thanks for the long read! =)

Was just curious how much you got it for?
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so.......
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.

"CHANEL MAISON DE COUTURE strictly prohibits anyone infringing on the integrity of their famous trademark and fully prosecutes anyone who does so! CHANEL has a legal department dedicated to removing counterfeit items listed on ebay to protect innocent buyers who think they are getting a deal of a lifetime. Sellers claim to be selling an authentic CHANEL for very little money. NOT TRUE ! Most CHANEL bags listed on ebay are knockoffs/counterfiets. Most of them have the "matching hologram card with a serial number" usually this number is 7244764, 8947749, 9316391, 9395451, 9395455, 9675223, 9777617, 10218184, 11062948, 10501946 and 10803549 which are all over ebay right now. Counterfiets now have the hologram and matching card, so, educate yourself, call a CHANEL boutique and ask questions."
It might be a knockoff, but it's a darn nice one!!

"How to spot a FAKE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just some quickies:
The hologram sticker should match the authenticity card.
The zipper on classical colours (black, white, beige etc.) use an EP stamp, the seasonal colours use YKK
The number zero on newer hologram stickers should have a slash through it.
The quilting should align.
The dust bags from bags made in the 1980s come with white dust bags. The later bags are not made with white dust bags.
Any bag that has plastic around the handles,zipper or chains are not authentic.
None of the classic caviar leather medallion totes have the four gold or silver feet on the bottom.
Any 05 and up shoe should have silver dust bags.
The hologram sticker should be scored in a criss-cross patern.
The CC closure the right C should always overlap the left C at the top.
Also, the CC closure should be stamped either on the top left corner of the left C or not marked at al.
The color of the stamping ("CHANEL" and "Made in ...") should match the color of the chain.
The screws on the back of the closure should be flat head and NOT phillips head screws.
Beware of holograms that end in 5454 because this number has been mass produced on fakes.
The "Made in France" or "Made in Italy" should be properly aligned under Chanel on the interior tag.
I know for sure that the black and white cambon bowlers, reporters, buckets and pochettes have hot pink (fuchsia) lining.
The pink and beige reporters, bowlers, buckets, and pochettes have black lining.
The brown and green reporters, bowlers, buckets, and pochettes have orange lining.
The white cambon camera bags have white lining.
The pink Camera bags have matching pink lining."
