I miss you very much. I can't believe it's been two years already. Your video is incredible, and I really appreciate your level of detail and effort *hotdups*
I wouldn’t buy a pre loved Chanel bag because it would make me feel just like this.. uneasy. the dupes are so close these days. Glad everything worked out 😍😍 your bag is gorgeous!
Zeko is the best Chanel authenticator. Besides her being a super nice person. I highly recommend her! What kind of camera did you use to take the photos? I had a hard time getting clear close ups of the photos required.
I can’t imagine spending thousands of dollars on a bag and then being embarrassed to take it out a year later because it’s out of fashion. I’d rather go with the *gtdupe* above and spend less to get more stuff so I can feel safe!
The superfakes are getting too good.. I won't risk buying prelove anymore. Those second hand I tried to buy, end up selling everything anyway bc I always feel there is something missing, like unsatisfied lolz
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.
I don't know if I'm just stupid but I count 9 stitches😅 So happy your bag is authentic! Must be a relief, now you can relax and just enjoy having and using it💕
No, not stupid at all! I had a hard time counting so it’s quite possible lol. Thank you so much for watching. So glad it ended up being authentic! 🙈😍☺️
Wow, glad it's a false scare. But honestly given the super fakes out there, I'd not buy from the pre-loved market, especially if they don't come with the authenticity card. Thanks for the video.
Yes, I was so relieved. I can understand the fear. Thankfully I’ve had good experiences with preloved, but you never know! #fashionphile & #rebag have both been great.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *hotdups* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
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 so glad this worked out for you. This is a very good video! I was a little leery of purchasing Chanel preloved, but to hear the details of Fashionphile’s authentication process just reassures me that this is the way to go. Thanks for the video! 😊
My pleasure love! I’m so glad you found it helpful. Preloved is definitely the way to go & I’m happy to say I haven’t had an issue so far. If you’re ever in doubt, I mention the authenticator I used as well, which was super helpful! 😘❤️
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *esluxy* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
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
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.
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!
You don’t make money. As $value decreases by time. And you are not getting any returns on it. Plus the depreciation. Guys don’t waste money on these items, the only people get rich is the one who are making and selling it. Buy stocks and invest in realestate.
Thanks for watching & I appreciate your comment. However, I disagree. With certain bags, like a Chanel CF or Hermes, they absolutely appreciate overtime and you can make a profit.
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the*preluxscom* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
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.
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
@@GirlGoneLux good for you! Did you buy it from the Chanel shop or pre-loved? I think it’s two very different things. I’m not saying that one should never buy a Chanel bag. If that makes you happy and if you can afford it, then go for it. I’m just saying that don’t buy it thinking it’s the best investment thing ever.
@@tinafey9711 the maxi was from boutique and this one was preloved. Great price too. And yes, I totally agree. Do what makes you happy, as long as we’re all buying responsibly 😉 Thank you for watching & commenting. 🫶🏻
Weight in most authentic handbags are inconsistent cause leather batches are always different and inconsistent not all cows weigh the same so it’s difficult to authenticate a bag based on weight
I keep wondering how anything can be authenticated without see it the item in person.. it’s like a make a diagnosis over the phone .. even Channel employees unable sometimes to tell the difference. My biggest issue- who will lose authenticity card for this bag? This is very fishy
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.
Exactly why I will not buy anything pre-loved. Hell I won't even purchase chanel anymore because the quality is awful
This one actually turned out great & is authentic. But I understand the concern. I’ve had good experiences at @rebag & @fashionphile though
Bull shit I’m so tired of people saying the quality is so bad. I have had no issues just poor
Ppl talk
@@LMAO4real Quality is terrible. I said what I said
She bag is a good quality bags

Yay! Congratulations 🖤 I'm glad she's authentic. She's a beauty 😍 I have the same bag🖤
Thanks love! I’m obsessed 😍
I’m kinda concerned cus the quilting doesn’t seem very lined up
Zeko did a wonderful job authenticating 🖤
The superfakes are getting too good.. I won't risk buying prelove anymore. Those second hand I tried to buy, end up selling everything anyway bc I always feel there is something missing, like unsatisfied lolz
Totally understand your sentiment. Thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoyed ❤️
Bring to channel shop. Just to be double sure . I do not believe in distant authentication.
Good suggestion. Thank you 😊

Fair enough! But I’m comfortable knowing the authenticity of mine given the lengths I went through. Thank you though!
What is the problem to go the Chanel store and get it checked out?! Leather looks funky tho
Thank you for watching 🩷
I don't know if I'm just stupid but I count 9 stitches😅

From the packaging to the details of the bags, I think the *preluxs* shop has made reproduction an art form.
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.
So since that person said it’s authentic means it’s authentic? For authenticity, have Chanel actually do it
It’s authentic 🩷
I bought a channel bag. Please send me the lady to verify your bag. I am very appreciated.
Zeko authentication
I'd rather buy good fake than used, It is NOT an investment
I respect your decision
I counted 8.5 on some and 9 on others. I took screen chats and marked them if you want them?
Hi love! That’s ok, but thank you so much for offering. I’m so glad you watched & commented. Hope you enjoyed my video 🥰😘
Your comment is very good.I really like the style and design of this bag
Thank you so much 😊
I completely trust Fashionphile

No, I had fake bags coming from them, just returned 😢
My favorite is the leather backpack and Swarovski pavé diamond ring so gorgeous*preluxscom* ..
I'd rather get the *esluxy* for $500 us and put $4,500 us in my bank account.

@@GirlGoneLux I did, got my first jumbo caviar in 2014 😘 that’s why I could compare the fake vs authentic ☺️
It's beautiful! 👍💚

Does your bag lean forward when standing straight ?
Yes it does slightly 🤍
Congratulations on your new bag!
Thank you darling 🖤

Nah lots of people loses it then. Now days people keep them to sell bc of so many counterfeits and price increases.
Thanks for your sharing. I think you are right about the sticks on the block of the bag
I got the same stick counts like you and my bag is 2003
Interesting right? 🤔
I knew it was real just showing the zipper
You’ve got a good eye 🫶🏻

Is this black or dark grey?
Black. The lighting makes it look slightly grey but it’s black caviar
How the bottom looks like.
