Sholie

authentic? black, kidney bean shaped, two straps that are made of silver chains entertwined with leather. Two tassels are the zipper handles.

if it looks authentic, why would you care?

In any case:
If bought it real cheap, it probably is a fake.
You might look at quality of stiching, smell the leather. Also visit Chanel's website and see if they make this model.

That sounds like a bag from a couple of years ago, they may not have any information online for that bag becasue it's out of season... But one thing that I know is if you were to take it to a channel store, you can check it out and see if there are simularities between the two, or ask the lady/guy at the counter to help you... If all else fails, If on the inside of the purse there is a tag that actualy has the CC logo on it, (COCO CHANNEL)with the stamp on it, then i think that youre all set... If you bought it yourself, if you paid anything less than $200.00 for it, then it;s probably a knock off.
soory, hope this helps!

I think that the price you paid and where you bought it. If it was a gift and looks ok.......it doesnt matter!

There are many way in which to tell if your Chanel is a fake. The obvious being if there is an R next to the word Chanel. If there's not it is for sure a fake. What about the serial number? Does it have one? Does it match the Authenticity cards? How is the stitching? The quality of leather?
Chanel are THE most replicated handbag out there. How much did you pay for it? Where did you buy it? Take all these things into consideration.
