    You should do the magnet trick, a youtuber named Accounting for Fashion showed it. I could not believe it myself and I did test to my chanel19, a jumbo and a medium against a fake medium I purchased 10 years ago (was testing if I would take the plunge to buy my first chanel)! To my surprise it works. The chain straps of the real bags will not stick to the magnet!

    Mine is really heavy bec it's the larger size but I would have preferred a lighter one like yours. Stitch count is uniformly 11 , zipper is EP, though it's impossible to take a photo of the sticker inside. Planning to sell since it's too big for my 5'1 height. I need to get authentication first since I got no receipts.

    It’s real. Ive purchased directly from the Chanel shop and gotten little minor inconsistencies. It’s fine. I know we think this name brand stuff is perfect but it’s just like any other product. It’s factory made in China then boxed in Italy to allow them to claim “made in Italy” nothing is made in Italy. Nothing. Therefore, there will be inconsistencies and it’s fine

      Black Birkin bag, this is the first good choice I made. I can afford a Kelly bag in any color. If I were 25, I'd probably buy it. But now I consciously don't want to date a woman who has a Kelly and a Birkin. After coming into contact with *hotdups* , I am more willing to invest the money saved in my own growth.

    I'm sorry to say this but all (real) Chanel bags must come with its ID card and number. A real Chanel bag weights a lot, for me too much. I also have a size medium just like yours but with gold hardware and I don't wear it frequently as it weights so much.

  • @TeaTimeinParis
    @TeaTimeinParis Před rokem

    I just bought a brand new medium caviar in store (rue Cambon flagship in Paris), and I also counted 8-9 stitch counts and I freaked out googling/YouTubing for explanations. Someone from PurseForum confirmed that in her experience the caviar bags tend to have 8-9 counts whereas the lambskin bags are more 10-11 counts. This checks out - my lambskin (also from the boutique) has 10-11. So it seems it could be that caviar is a harder leather and could have lower stitch counts.. though not sure if this is conclusive evidence or maybe there’re caviar bags out there with 10-11 stitch counts.. would be curious to know.

    Most people who said it’s an investment piece never actually sold their bag. Fashionphile or other company take a huge cut on that. If I have to pick btw investing in stock and Chanel bag, I’d bet that s&p stock will do better. Also bag could get damaged lost etc.

    • @GirlGoneLux

      So very true. I think everyone should invest in s&p & not prioritize luxury bags over stocks. However, I sold my Chanel maxi for the same price I bought it in only 5 years. Had I held on longer I could’ve made a profit. Thankfully I did not lose money on it
