Authentication guide: How to recognize an authentic Chanel bag in 2025
Authentication guide
Do you dream of acquiring a Chanel bag, but fear of buying a counterfeit holds you back? With more than 90% of fake Chanel bags in circulation, authentication has become crucial.
At Bam Luxury Store, we have developed sharp expertise thanks to over 10 years of experience and our partnership with ENTRUPY, the most advanced AI authentication technology (99.1% accuracy).
In this guide, Margot and Vincent reveal their 7 foolproof verification points to recognize an authentic Chanel bag.
