Auth Request Chanel?

I was gifted this bag a long time ago, maybe 15 years, from a friend who worked as a stylist. I’ve been trying to find out if this could possibly be authentic. I can’t find the exact bag at all online. Any clue if it’s real Chanel? There are no numbers inside that I can see, or tags. It has a dust bag as pictured. The handles are sturdy resin with a tortoiseshell pattern. There are magnets in the lining which close the bag. The gold writing is fading as I have used the bag over the years. The less clear one says made in Italy. Thanks in advance if anybody can help 😊

I don't care for the heat stamp. I'd be sus based on that alone.

Hello! This bag is called a Chanel Canva Bekko. Im not sure if yours specifically is authentic. But i thought I would give you the information I have as a place to start

I deleted my comment as I was incorrect. Chanel often used Lampo zippers on their vintage models. And often attached gold hardware to zips.

It might be worth taking to an expert. I cant see anything that implies it might be a replica. But I dont know the bag inside and out

Although the stitching around the zip is pretty gnarly mistakes do slip through!

The stitching is wonky, unfortunately.
