However, this is a detail that is normally done correctly by the better counterfeiters, as you will only witness the incorrect overlapping C pattern on some of the worst fakes. Nevertheless, it is still something to take note of when considering a Chanel handbag. The basic, rule of thumb, standard for Chanel interlocking C’s in this:

Pertaining to the Chanel interlocking C’s in particular, there are some exceptions to the above stated rule on a minority of limited pieces.

Chanel quilting patterns: Common to most top tier designers is symmetry within pattern. Every top designers from Gucci to Louis, take pride in there signature patterns. It is what separates the great from the good, and more often than not, the real from the fake. That said, the -as demonstrated on ebay-should properly align where adjacent sections of the handbag meet. Meaning that the seams should line up even on parts of the bag that are not fixed entirely to the handbag, like a purse flap. However, when determining alignment in a picture it can sometimes become a daunting task, because much of the observed alignment hinges upon the angle the picture was taken. If a model in the picture has the bag strung over her shoulder, or if the seller is holding the bag in their hand, these things could also throw off the alignment of the Chanel seams. Another factor that may throw off the seam alignment in the picture (or in person,) is if the handbag has paper or personal belongings inside the bag. Sellers often stuff their handbags to give them a fuller, larger look. And a stuffed handbag may re-align the stitching pattern, creating a false indicator or red flag. But regardless, the differing sections of the Chanel handbag, when in direct contact with one another, should at the very least come close to a linear alignment. Below are images of authentic Chanel quilting patterns: Note: The pattern's stitch lines flow together, there is no irregularity. Where the flap meets the bag, the seam lines of both sections (flap and body) flow seamlessly together with no break or split. ![]() ![]() Image provided by Smoothoprter Below is an image of a fake Chanel quilted pattern: Note: Notice the seams do no come close to lining up in places. ![]() Source: Smoothoprter (eBay and Purse Forum) Chanel interior lining is another factor to scrutinize:
