i came across a same bag on another website and i dont know how to make sure its the real thing!

but it looks like yours and ive been admiring it for the longest ever, care to help me out?

my email is there! (:

Love your bag,:) i own a vintage CHANEL flap backpack as well, you are rite, has much more character than a brand new one and it’s a painful price;)

By the way, this might sounds totally off topic, but i do have a lot of vintage apparel in my shop, http://www.dylan.sg —which are sourced from all around the world, will be honoured if you were to take a look to see if any thing fancies you or maybe even a feedback on what makes you tick:)

Have a great week !!

are you able to advise on whether how to tell a real chanel bag from a fake one with the serial no? I really like your bag and seen one or two on ebay very rare but the chanel logo seems smaller than that of yours?

Im looking for vintage chanel too. But Im not sure how much should I pay for a vintage jumbo. Can u give me the range of price u paid for yours? $1500-$2000?

Yes it comes with authenticity card and sticker. I won’t buy otherwise cos’ claims might be bogus.
But I heard a bag guru tell me that you can tell a real Chanel from a fake from the way it’s made.

I can’t advise cos’ I’m new to this too.

I just bought the same bag as yours from ebay! My first too!! However, the bag did not come with the authenticity card as the owner lost it. Did yours include the card and sticker? And do you have any idea how to maintain the bag as Im totally clueless.. any tips?

I surfed the net and saw yr post when I was contemplating to buy the very same bag from ebay. And now I finally got it! Its luxurious just that the hologram no. faded due to wear and tear.. but was assured that its authentic and 15 years in age.. still looks well kept..
Have you got the number and card as well?
Now Im thinking how to maintain it cos I have absolutely no idea! Any tips?

sorry i’ve actually typed quite alot but because i forgotten to leave my name and email, the post wasn’t been accepted and whole msg was gone. should have made a copy before i click submit.

anyway i am a noob in balenciaga too, often lurking at forums and looking at other people’s buys only. So far i roughly know how City, Work, Day, etc look like. You may want to browse through http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga/ to get an idea.

And also i want to take back my comment with regards that this Chanel bag that you just bought is not suitable for you. Initally i thought is those classic 2.55, but when i took a 2nd look, its actually a jumbo vintage Chanel! suits you alot! if its me and able to afford, i also will prefer a vintage version!

thanks for replying to my msg earlier…
