How to spot a fake Chanel Bag | The Archive

Superfakes have earned their name. Using the same materials and techniques, they are almost identical to genuine bags and can be nearly impossible for experts to detect. 

It might be tempting to buy a superfake Chanel, scoring the look at a fraction of the price, but superfakes are tormenting the fashion industry. Counterfeiting is often linked to other crimes like human trafficking, child labor, and drug smuggling, and it damages the reputation of the brands and diminishes customer trust. 

With the continued rise of superfakes, the authentication process not only requires knowledge about a brand’s heritage and craftsmanship, but also all the counterfeit pieces that are flooding the market. 

To help you shop secondhand, we have listed ten giveaways that a Chanel bag is fake. If you come across a bag that features even just one of these inaccuracies, we recommend that you keep shopping.
