Chanel SAs do not authenticate items. Because some or most of them do not have the sufficient years of experience to determine the authencity of chanel vintage bags. Say, vintage chanel flaps are 10 to 20 years ago, most of them probably work like only a few months or up to 4 years?

Moreover, I personally feel that if you tell them you wanna authenticate the bag, it gives them the hinge that you bought the bag either through online or from a reseller, which sorta gives them a impression that this bag is a fake (although this may not be true).

A good way to tell whether you bags bought from resellers or online are authentic, is to just walk into the store, and only request for refurbishment or repairment. When you bags are refurbished and repaired, it means your bag is authentic 100%.
