Learn how to spot fake Chanel Classic Flap Bag Medium Black Silvers with this detailed 37 point step-by-step guide by goVerify.

6. Box Logo

Take a closer look at the printed Chanel logo in white on the box and check that the print is solid, the logo is centered, and the correct typeface has been used.

23. Clasp Inside

The inside of the clasp reveals that it is secured in place with two flathead screws at the top and bottom. Make sure the correct screws have been used and are in the correct position. The inside also features a Chanel Paris logo engraved into the hardware. Make sure the typeface and positioning of this logo are correct.

32. Lining

The interior of the Chanel Classic is lined in smooth maroon leather. Check that there is a hidden seam running down the center of the bag, which aligns with the seam along the bag's base. This is also a good place to see where the caviar leather and maroon interior line up along the edges of the bag. Note the difference in thickness between these two materials.
