Chanel Classic Flap Bag

Authentic Chanel flaps have interlocking CC logos where the left C sits on top on the front; right C sits on top on the back. The quilted diamond stitching is perfectly centred. The leather is lambskin or caviar — rub your thumb: authentic caviar leather has a slightly pebbly texture; fakes feel smooth or plasticky. The serial sticker inside the pocket changed format multiple times; checking the format against the authentication card date is essential.
