Authenticity checklist

Here are the top 7 indicators to help you distinguish between a genuine Chanel-manufactured Deauville bag and a counterfeit one:

1. Label Inside the Bag: Examine the label inside your Chanel Deauville bag, as fake bags often have stitching and text with incorrect thickness.
2. Product ID Code Tab: Inspect the tab containing the product ID code, as replica bags may have poorly font-weighted symbols and numbers.
3. Text on Buttons: Check the text on the buttons of your bag, as fake Chanel Deauville bags commonly feature text that is too thick.
4. Stitches at the Bottom: Examine the stitches at the bottom of the bag, as counterfeit bags typically have thin and overly long stitches.
5. Zipper “CC” Logo: Look at the “CC” Chanel logo on the zipper. Fake Deauville bags often have a logo that is too thin and narrow.
6. Strap Stitching: Inspect the stitching on the bag’s strap. In most cases, fake Chanel Deauville bags have thin and long stitches on the strap.
7. Front Side Text: Be sure to examine the text on the front side of the bag, as replica Deauville bags frequently have poorly font-weighted text.
