Wondering whether you have a real or a fake Chanel Deauville bag? Since there are a lot of fake Chanel Deauville bags, you might want to know how to authenticate one of these.

And, you are in the right place to do that – we are going to teach you everything you need to know in order to spot fake Chanel Deauville bags.

This real vs fake Chanel Deauville bag authenticity check guide will teach you everything you need to know in order to spot fake Chanel Deauville bags.

We are going to teach you everything you need to know in order to determine whether you are looking at a real or replica Chanel Deauville bag, and by the end of the guide, you should easily know how to check one of these Chanel bags.

How to spot fake Chanel Deauville bags

The easiest (and the best) way to spot fake Chanel Deauville bags is to look at the label stitched inside your Chanel bag, as the replica bags tend to have their stitches and inscriptions at the wrong thickness, while the genuine Deauville bags always have their threads and inscriptions at the correct thickness, without any imperfections, thanks to their high-quality and properly-paid attention to detail.

Step 1: Real vs fake Chanel Deauville bag interior label

For the first step of the guide on how to spot real vs fake Chanel Deauville bags, we are going to have a look at the Deauville bags for their interior label.

Just as how we’ve previously mentioned, we consider this the best way how to spot fake Chanel Deauville bags, so we recommend that you never skip this when authenticating your bag.

In the image with the fake vs real Chanel Deauville bags above, we have pointed out how the fake bag’s text and stitching are badly detailed.

Starting with the text, you can notice how the fake Chanel Deauville bag has its “CHANEL ®” inscription looking a bit thinner than the one seen on the genuine Chanel bag.

In fact, this flaw can be easily seen if you take a look at the spacing between the letters “H” and “A”, where the replica Chanel Deauville bag presents more space in-between the letters than the authentic bag, which has its letters closer to each other.

This flaw is actually about the kerning of the letters, but it is highly tied with the thickness of the letters, and because the fake bag has its letters too thin, these are also placed too far away from each other, while the authentic bag is exactly the opposite: the letters are thicker and placed closer to each other.

Regarding the “MADE IN …” text right below the previously inspected print, you can see how the fake bag’s “MADE IN” text is too thin, and how the authentic Deauville bag has its text thicker.

For the record, this flaw does not have anything to do with the country of manufacturing the bag. All of the genuine Chanel bags are made to the exact specifications of all of the authentic factories all around the world.

Now, as for the stitching on all sides of the label, you can notice how the fake bag’s stitching is a bit thicker than the authentic bag’s stitching, especially at the bottom of the label.

Speaking of the authentic Chanel Deauville bag, you can notice how the stitching on all sides of the label looks a tad bit thinner than the fake bag’s stitching, and you can easily notice this at the bottom of the label.

Step 2: Check the product ID code tab inside your Chanel Deauville bag

Moving to the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Chanel Deauville bags, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Chanel Deauville bags for their other little label inside the bag.

Precisely, we are going to check this little tab which has the unique product ID code of the Chanel Deauville bag. Of course, the replica Chanel bag tries to imitate the genuine code, and in order to see that, let’s quickly brief the real vs fake Chanel Deauville comparison image below.

In the image with the fake vs real Chanel Deauville bags above, we have pointed out how the fake Deauville bags tend to have their two little Chanel logos looking thicker and bulkier than the ones seen on the authentic bags.

Mentioning the authentic Chanel Deauvilles, you can see how the authentic Deauville has its two CC logos looking thinner than the fake bag’s logos.

As for the numbers which craft the actual serial number of the bag, you can observe in the fake vs real Chanel Deauville bag image above how the fake Deauville has its numbers too thin, and how the authentic numbers are thicker.

Step 3: Examine the buttons of your Chanel Deauville bag

For the third way how to authenticate a Chanel Deauville bag, we are going to quickly have a look at the buttons.

Of course, the buttons have the “CHANEL” text trademark engraved into them, and so as to differentiate between the real vs fake Chanel Deauville bags, let’s check the image below.

fake vs real chanel deauville bag

In the picture with the real vs fake Chanel Deauville bags above, we have pointed out how the replica Deauville bag’s “CHANEL” text is at the wrong thickness.

In fact, the fake bag’s “CHANEL” text looks a bit thicker than the authentic bag’s text, and that’s because it was fit too deep inside the metal.

That makes the replica bag’s “CHANEL” text look thicker than it should look, while the authentic bag’s text is thinner because it was fit less deep inside the metal than the fake text.

Step 4: Real vs fake Chanel Deauville bag bottom stitching

Moving forward to the fourth step of the guide on how to authenticate Chanel Deauville bags, now we have to check the bottom side’s stitching.

So, zooming into the bottom on both of the fake vs real Chanel Deauville bags, let’s have a look at their stitching on the bottom sides.

fake vs real chanel deauville bag guide

The picture with the fake vs real Chanel Deauvilles above shows you how the fake bag has its threads detailed different than the authentic bag’s stitches.

By that, we mean that the replica Chanel Deauville bag’s stitches look too thin and too long, while the authentic bag’s stitches are thicker and shorter.

Therefore, the overall look of the authentic bag’s stitching on the bottom side is bulkier, unlike the fake bag’s stitching which is exactly the opposite.

The steps we’ve written so far are the best ways to authenticate this item.

The next few steps are still reliable signs of authenticity but are for non-top-versions of replicas available for this item. We recommend sticking to the steps we’ve explained above to make sure you’re not drawing the wrong conclusions.

Step 5: Analyze the Chanel logo on the zipper of your bag

Proceeding to the fifth way on how to spot real vs fake Chanel Deauville bags, let’s have a look at the Chanel CC logo on the zippers of the two bags.

The zipper is pretty simple, as it is just a piece of hardware that has the classic Chanel double C logo engraved at the bottom.

In the image with the fake vs real Chanel Deauville bags above, we have noticed how the replica bag’s zipper is pretty different from the genuine one.

Regarding the Chanel double C logo, you can observe how the fake bag’s logo is way thinner and slimmer than the genuine bag’s logo.

On the other hand, the authentic Chanel Deauville bag’s “CC” logo looks thicker and bulkier than the replica bag’s logo.

Not only that, but the replica bag’s logo is also a bit too narrow, while the authentic bag’s logo is wider and larger.

Step 6: Check the stitching on the strap of your Deauville bag

Going to the sixth way on how to spot real vs fake Chanel Deauville bags, we are now going to have a look at the real vs fake Deauville Chanel bags for their stitching on the straps.

In the image with the real vs fake Chanel Deauville bags above, you can see how the fake bag’s stitching on the strap is very different from the one seen on the genuine bag.

That is because the replica bag has its threads too thin, too long, and placed straight, while the legit Chanel Deauville bag is exactly the opposite.

The genuine Chanel Deauville bag’s threads are thicker, shorter and angled a bit, as they are not placed on a straight line, unlike the fake bag’s stitches.

Step 7: Examine the text on the front side of the Chanel Deauville bag

As for the seventh and the last step of the guide on how to spot fake Chanel Deauville bags, we are going to have a look at the front side of the real vs fake Deauville Chanel bags.

In the image with the real vs fake Chanel Deauville bags above, we have pointed out how the fake bag’s text is at the wrong font weight.

The replica bag’s “31 RUE CAMBON PARIS” inscription looks too thin, and the genuine bag’s text is thicker and more defined, as it has more detail added to it.

That aside, the replica bag’s number “3” looks way thicker than what it should be, while the legitimate bag’s number is thinner.
