How Do We Authenticate Pre-owned Chanel Handbags and Clothing ?

Shop with confidence: since our opening in 2010, all of the products we sell come with a Lifetime Money-Back Authenticity Guarantee. Unlike other resellers, whose fine-print authenticity guarantees expire in 30 days or after the return period, our policy is no-frills and remains so for life. 

Chanel products, and especially Chanel handbags, are some of the most desired luxury items in the world; therefore it’s not surprising that counterfeiters frequently target the brand and that there are many fakes out there. 

At CODOGIRL, we diligently inspect every product, scrutinizing the quality of stitching, color patterns, hardware, screws, material, date stamps, zippers, logos, labels and many other aspects of each Chanel handbag, jacket, scarf, belt or jewelry. We do not have any quotas as some of the larger companies do so we give each product as much attention as needed to be 100% sure of its authenticity.

We source a substantial amount of our Chanel inventory locally from our well-established client base – including some high-profile individuals and celebrities – many of which we have been working with since our inception in 2010. Each Chanel bag is authenticated in-house and receives multiple sets of eyes before it is displayed on our shelves and professionally listed on our website.

To get some insight into our Chanel authentication process, be sure to read this Chanel handbag authentication guide, which contains many tips and tricks you can use to authenticate yourself.

Benefits of Buying Used Chanel Handbags and Clothing:

There are many reasons why Chanel bags are “the bag of a girl’s dreams”. They hold their value incredibly well: in fact, some used Chanel bags, like the quintessential black caviar CC flap, actually tend to appreciate over time. Vintage Chanel bags are also extremely desirable, as their quality and durability are unmatched. Chanel bags’ soft, supple leather, gleaming hardware and luxurious, hefty construction make them so desirable, but also very expensive. 

Buying pre-owned Chanel bags can save you a lot of money, however not all resellers are made equal. We make shopping resale Chanel bags worry-free. No more auctions or bidding, no more spending hours on forums or wondering whether that bag you bought is real. 

We strive to make authentic Chanel handbags as affordable and attainable as possible, so that all women can carry an authentic bag of their dreams. In fact, our customers can often save up to 70% off retail prices when shopping their favorite Chanel styles pre-owned. 

Another important benefit of buying resale Chanel bags is that you’re making the sustainable fashion choice. How is it sustainable? Buying a pre-owned item extends its lifespan, as well as replaces the need to buy something new. This lowers your fashion carbon footprint, as no additional resources were used. 

Besides, Chanel bags are the ultimate luxury made to last: the excellent craftsmanship ensures that they can last you years, even decades with the right care. That is why you will find many Chanel bags of 20+ years vintage looking as amazing as they did brand new (many of these vintage models used real gold in their hardware, too!)
