Dear Juanita,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A Non-Authentic Chanel Pink and Black Quilted Purse

CONDITION: Appears to be in good condition commensurate to age and use.

PROVENANCE: Inherited

FAIR MARKET VALUE: $0*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking
price may vary.

HOW WE CAME TO THIS ASSESSMENT:

Chanel started using date codes in 1984. Since then, every bag has come with a sticker containing a serial number and a corresponding authenticity card, unfortunately, your bag is missing the date code.

The nameplate is always centered and clear, you will notice on your bag it is not clear and is aligned to the left and the registered mark is very close to the "Chanel".

A low stitch count on a fake will make the quilting look puffy and uneven. Also, be aware of sloppy or frayed stitching.

Hardware on an authentic Chanel bag will feel heavier and more substantial than on a fake.

Remember that an authentic bag will always be made from the highest quality leather and materials.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, thank you again for using Mearto, and sorry for the unfortunate news on your purse.
