Authentic Vs Fake – Chanel Shopping Tote Bag
Posted on July 19th, 2010 by Lucy
I was told by my girl friends that some Chinese factory made very authentic-looking Chanel bags these days. Photos below are provided by purse forum buyers of an authentic Chanel shopping tote and a very authentic-looking Chanel shopping tote replica. See if you can tell the difference.. 
For the zip pull of all zippers: one side is CC and one side is CHANEL.

Are you saying that the fake Chanel has the zipper pull that has one side CC and one side Chanel? Or is it the other way around? I need to know – this is valuable info! Thx!
You can see the difference on the 1st one (real) having the CC logo stitched on the leather whereas the second one ( fake) has the logo stitched OVER the bag.
1st one FAKE , second one real !
This is not entirely true. Not all authentic Chanel handbags have the zipper stamped on one side with Chanel and on the other side with the logo. If you want to know more about how to spot a fake Chanel handbag, visit my blog, spotbags.cn or send me a message on Facebook.

First one’s real, second one’s fake!
Speaking of the CC stitching, the old GST’s (before 2010) had the logo stitched on to the bag, like in pic 4, where as the newer GST’s (2010-) had the stitching more incorporated like pic 1. So in that regard, both GST’s could be real, however, only the newer GST’s have the “Rue de Cambon” and “Chanel” printed on the rings.
Furthermore, you can see on the rings in pic 5, that there is way too much of a space between the E and the L.
Do any of the rings on the GST nit have Chanel and will the pull on middle zipper tarnish a bit? Mine has wondering if I bought a fake
