Chanel Handbag: Please help authenticate purse! - Page 4

Here's an auction for an authentic one. ( CHANEL Handbag Quilted Black CAVIAR CLUTCH Purse NWT - eBay (item 270192372550 end time Feb-27-08 06:24:30 PST) ) You can compare.

But I have a feeling yours is fake, sorry! The seller you bought from has been accused of seliing a fake, if you check their feedback. Also, they don't have alot of feedback and their feedback score is low IMO (92.3%). I wouldn't trust this seller at all. Plus, you got it for like $510.00 (USD), that's a BIG price cut.

Yes, it's def. fake. The card, the size of the bag, sorry.

I agree. The bag just doesn't seem right. Chanel caviar leather is rather firm and will retain it's shape even without stuffing. The clutch you (Silva) won looks like it's made of a supple leather. Please do post more photos when you have received your bag.

Ive asked for a refund, Ill keep you informed of how it goes

I havnt got photos to upload yet but here are some details.....

It says made in italy inside

The serial number matches the ''authenticity card'' - and the serial number has a faint strike through it...

The zip on the inside has chanel written on one side and CC written on the other... also there is a chanel with the (r) next to it on the inside....

It's fake. I asked someone on ebay, and they agree, fake. DEF. ask for a refund! Some crooked sellers try to convince the buyer that they're real, even though theyre not.

I'm no Chanel expert... but the quilting is really bothering me... it's soo "weak"... not emphasised. For that reason, I would say it's a fake.

susieq · February 8th, 2008, 01:39 PM

and the nerve of him/her... already putting ANOTHER one up for sale:

Authentic Chanel Quilted Clutch Bag on eBay, also, Women's Bags, Clothes, Shoes Accessories (end time 17-Feb-08 10:07:41 GMT)

this was why in the last post you asked about this - I mentioned he had sold a previous one that was very similar. I see it as a red flag when a seller has low feedback, is only selling 1 style of bag/clutch AND is selling that style MULTIPLE times.

i'm so so sorry this happened to you

i totally agree. plus in HIS picture it was even shiny (patent looking), her pictures are dull leather and weak quilting.

I agree. The quilting should be more lush and puffy. I know of four textiles used for the clutch which include the caviar leather, smooth lambskin, patent lambskin, and silk satin. Each version will have similarly deep quilting and should photograph nicely. (Light should reflect off several of the stitched quilted diamonds, so the pattern would be prominent.)

I think you have been sold a fake. I hope you do pursue the refund. Please keep us updated.

Hi all

bad news

I opened a dispute with paypal and selinab has replied saying I am trying to scam her!! saying she sent me the item with original receipt, however, I have a message from her in my ebay items saying she ''wished she had the original receipt so she could have sent it'' so thats her excuse out the window... she is saying she WONT refund.... I will keep pursuing it...

thanks guys

The pics are blurry... but from what I can see, it doesn't look right. I agree with the other girls, that clutch is fishy.
