If you want to learn how to authenticate a Chanel wallet, then you are for sure in the right place to learn this.
In fact, we have compiled this real vs fake Chanel Wallet authenticity check guide, and only by reading this guide, you are going to easily know what to look for in order to authenticate one of these beauties.
The authentic Chanel label sets itself apart from the cloned items thanks to the high-quality materials used in order to build the genuine piece.
As for the replicas, since the replica Chanel manufacturers always lack attention to some details, these little spots are nothing else than a bonus for us all in order to make the Chanel wallet authentication easier.
To put it shortly, the fastest way to spot fake Chanel wallets is to look at the “CHANEL” and at the “MADE IN” inscription on the interior side of your wallet, as the replica Chanel wallets never have their inscriptions at the correct font-weight and at the correct kerning between the characters, while the legit wallets are always on point, with no flaws.
For the very first method on how to spot fake Chanel wallets, we are going to look at the fake vs real Chanel wallets for their inscription that states “CHANEL” inside the item.
Just as how we’ve previously mentioned, we consider this as the most reliable way to tell whether you have a real or a fake Chanel wallet.
Therefore, we recommend that you never skip this step, as it could easily tell you the authenticity of a Chanel wallet.
In the image with the fake vs real Chanel wallets above, we have pointed out how the fake Chanel wallet has its text and the symbol logo at the wrong thickness.
Starting with the “CHANEL” text, you can see how the fake text has its text too thin for the letters “C” and “H”, and how the rest of the letters are too thick.
In fact, that makes the fake Chanel wallet’s “CHANEL” text varies in font-weight, and that’s something never to be seen on an authentic wallet, as the genuine items always have the same thickness for all of their characters.
Looking at the authentic Chanel wallet’s “CHANEL” text, you can see how all of the letters have the same font weight.
Leaving the font-weight aside, you can see how the fake wallet has its letter “C” placed too far away from the rest of the letters.
Back to the authentic Chanel wallet’s text, all of the letters are placed at the same distance between each letter.
Then, looking at the little CC Chanel logo, you can notice how the fake Chanel wallet presents its logo too thin, and how the authentic wallet’s logo is thicker and more defined.
Going to the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Chanel wallets, we will now verify the “MADE IN” inscription on the fake vs real Chanel wallets.
We’ve only mentioned “MADE IN” because the authentic Chanel wallets are made in a range of a few countries: Italy, Spain, France, and so on.
Here’s just what we’ve previously mentioned: the authentic wallet was made in Italy, while the replica wallet states that it was made in Spain.
And talking about the flaw on the fake Chanel wallet, you can see how the “MADE IN SPAIN” text on the replica wallet is too thin.
Precisely, you can see how the fake Chanel wallet has its text too thin by looking at the word “MADE”, because that’s basically the thinnest word in the fake wallet highlighted above.
On the other hand, the authentic Chanel wallet has its “MADE IN ITALY” text looking thicker and more defined than the one on the fake wallet.

For the third step of the guide on how to spot fake Chanel wallets, we will now look at the fake vs real Chanel wallets for their inscription with the product ID code.
Of course, at the end of the day, only the authentic Chanel wallets are registered into Chanel’s database, but keep in mind that a replica Chanel wallet can also replicate the numbers seen on the authentic wallets.
Don’t worry, there’s also good news; we are going to check the real vs fake Chanel wallets for their appearance of the text on this little tab.
In the image with the real vs fake Chanel wallets above, we have pointed out how the fake Chanel wallet has its numbers at the wrong thickness.
Going more into detail, what we mean is that the fake Chanel wallet has its numbers really thin when compared to the real deal.
On the other hand, the authentic Chanel wallet has its numbers on the product ID code’s tab looking thicker and bulkier than the ones on the fake wallet.
Proceeding to the fourth method on how to spot fake Chanel wallets, we are now going to brief the real vs fake Chanel wallets for their caviar stitching.
The caviar stitching is basically the famous pattern that Chanel uses for their leather products, including the fake vs real Chanel wallets that we will check now.
In the image with the authentic vs replica Chanel wallets above, we have pointed out how the overall look of the threads which form the caviar stitching pattern on the fake wallet has the wrong thickness and size.
That is because the fake Chanel wallet has its threads too thick and also too short, while the genuine Chanel wallet has its stitches thinner and longer.
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.
As for the fifth way how to spot fake Chanel wallets, we are now going to look at the real vs fake Chanel wallets for their notorious CC Chanel logo.
So as to see what the flaw on the fake item, let’s quickly have a look at the image with the fake vs real Chanel wallets below.
In the image with the real vs fake Chanel wallets above, we have pointed out how the fake wallet has its CC classic logo shining too much.
By that, we mean that too much light reflects out of the fake Chanel wallet’s CC logo, therefore having this exposed look.
On the other hand, the authentic Chanel wallet has its CC logo less shiny, as it reflects less light out of the golden logo.

Going to the sixth method on how to authenticate Chanel CC wallets, we are now going to look at the real vs fake Chanel wallets for their flaps on the rear side.
The side of the flap that we need to inspect is right below the zipper of the real vs fake Chanel wallets.
In the image with the fake vs real Chanel wallets above, we have pointed out how the fake Chanel wallet has its flap too thick, and how it comes too much out of the rest of the wallet.
The authentic Chanel wallet has its flap “glued” closer to the rest of the leather parts, as there is less blank space between the flap and the rest of the wallet.
Proceeding to the seventh method on how to spot fake Chanel wallets, we are now going to look at the real vs fake Chanel wallets from their profile side.
Keep in mind that for this tell, both the genuine vs fake Chanel wallets were empty, and so, the comparison was fair, because if one of the wallets was filled with items, the shape of the wallets would differ.
In the image with the fake vs real Chanel wallets above, you can see how the fake wallet has its overall look a bit too bulky and curvy at the bottom side.
On the other hand, the authentic wallet has its shape differently curved, as the authentic wallet curves at a larger angle than the fake wallet’s bottom side of the wallet.
While this may not be close to being the best way to spot fake Chanel wallets, we wanted to give you an idea of what the authentic vs fake Chanel wallet look from the profile side.

Lastly, for the eighth method on how to spot fake Chanel wallets, we are going to look at the genuine vs replica Chanel wallets for their text printed on the dust bag.
Just as always, let’s quickly have a look at the fake vs real Chanel wallet comparison image below.
In the image with the fake vs real Chanel wallets above, we have pointed out how the fake Chanel wallet’s dust bags have their text at the wrong thickness.
In fact, the fake bag has its two “CHANEL” inscriptions being too thin and too big, and the authentic dust wallet have their “CHANEL” text looking thicker and smaller, therefore having a bulkier look than the fake dust bag’s text.
