How to spot a FAKE! Just some quickies:
The hologram sticker should match the authenticity card.
The zipper on classical colours (black, white, beige etc.) use an EP stamp, the seasonal colours use YKK
The number zero on newer hologram stickers should have a slash through it.
The quilting should align.
The dust bags from bags made in the 1980s come with white dust bags. The later bags are not made with white dust bags.
Any bag that has plastic around the handles,zipper or chains are not authentic.
None of the classic caviar leather medallion totes have the four gold or silver feet on the bottom.
Any 05 and up shoe should have silver dust bags.
The hologram sticker should be scored in a criss-cross patern.
The CC closure the right C should always overlap the left C at the top.
Also, the CC closure should be stamped either on the top left corner of the left C or not marked at al.
The color of the stamping ("CHANEL" and "Made in ...") should match the color of the chain.
The screws on the back of the closure should be flat head and NOT phillips head screws.
Beware of holograms that end in 5454 because this number has been mass produced on fakes.
The "Made in France" or "Made in Italy" should be properly aligned under Chanel on the interior tag.
I know for sure that the black and white cambon bowlers, reporters, buckets and pochettes have hot pink (fuchsia) lining.
The pink and beige reporters, bowlers, buckets, and pochettes have black lining.
The brown and green reporters, bowlers, buckets, and pochettes have orange lining.
The white cambon camera bags have white lining.
The pink Camera bags have matching pink lining.
