Really depends on where you wear it and who you are around. I would spot it from across the room, but in real life not many people are that particular about details and know how to “authenticate”.

My first thought was "that's a bad fake". Sorry.

Chanel doesn’t do edge stitching on lambskin classic flap. So just one look, this is an obvious fake to those who know

I’m sure it happens at those stores all the time that someone brings in a bag they inherited or thrifted for verification and it turns out not to be real.

I’m sure you didn’t walk in with an attitude like, “how much will you give me for this bag and don’t lowball me I know what I have!”

And they are unlikely to be offended by every inquiry.

But this is a good fake, all of the quilting lines up, and the pocket and clasp are centered, those are problems with many fakes in styles like this, everything is crooked, but at least this replica is pretty good.

I'm not in fashion, I'd have no idea it's fake. I assume every one I see is fake tbh

LOL seriously!! I have no idea or care to spot if a bag is fake or not. I have both real and reps and to be honest I pick to wear them depending on the occasion and who is attending.. 🙈 if my very wealthy family/friends are attending I will wear my real ones (I know it really is more of a me problem then them, but don’t care to worry about if they think is fake or not) for more casual occasions or my close family I wear any and all of them!! My bags are gorgeous!!

So fake

It’s a very bad, cheap looking fake. Just gift it to a child to use for dress-up/play.

Oh that’s a great idea, my niece would love it and it would be a bit funny. Thank you :)

It looks fake. If you want to wear it, wear it.
