Below is an image of a fake Chanel wallet: Note: The most glaring tell that jumps right out through the picture is the rainbow hue that the authenticity card is giving off. This tell was mentioned in the first part of the spot fake Chanel guide. Any authentic Chanel auth card would never throw off a rainbow prism-like color spectrum. A legitimate card with gold foil design would reflect only gold. Also, the gold logo on the box looks a little cramped, the right C is squished in slighlty more than the left C. This means the two C's are not symmetrical. ![]() Below is an image of another fake Chanel wallet: Note: This picture (below) has another clue, not as dramatic as the first fake wallet, but easily detectable. The flap seams do not line up with the wallet body seams. On an authentic Chanel handbag or wallet the seams will meet (line up) when the flap is closed. On this fake wallet you can clearly see that the seams do not line up. However, even on an authentic Chanel there may be times when the seams do not line up completely perfect. That being said, the amount that the seam will be off on an authentic Chanel will be minimal, and almost unrecognizable unless a closely inspected. ![]() Note: Also notice the barcode on the box (above). This appears to be an attempt to create a fake barcode giving the illusion of an authentic wallet coming from a retail venue. But if you look closely at the barcode it looks like a poor copy. The lines are fuzzy, not crisp, they look faded and gray, and the UPC code looks like it has too many numbers. Spotting a fake barcode is something we talk about in our spot fake concert tickets guide. Also, we talk about barcodes in our spot fake handbags guide, and how they offer clues to the origin of the handbag or wallet. Here we see the counterfeiter trying to capitalize on an authenticity detail like retail barcodes. Below is an image of the inside of the fake Chanel wallet (pictured above): Note: Nothing jumps out here that is glaringly obvious, but under close inspection, we noticed sloppy stitch lines throughout the interior. Crooked, uneven and unraveled seams in are noticeable in several places. A good tool to have on hand when looking at handbag listings online is a small magnifying glass. This will help spot some of the smaller details you may miss with the naked eye. ![]() Chanel Handbags
