4. Quilting pattern: The quiliting pattern on Chanel bags should align. This can depend on the angle of the picture taken.
On flap bags the quilting doesn't always align perfectly when the flap is closed because it depends on whether the bag is stuffed or empty, or if it's hanging correctly, etc. But it should appear to align.

Below are images of authentic Chanel quiliting patterns:
Note: The pattern stitch lines runs together, there is no irregularity.





Below is an image of a fake Chanel quilited pattern:
Note: Notice the seams do no come close to lining up in places.



5. Lining: Black and white cambon bowlers, reporters, buckets and pochettes should have hot pink (fuchsia) lining.
 Pink and beige reporters, bowlers, buckets, and pochettes should have black lining.
 Brown and green reporters, bowlers, buckets, and pochettes should have orange lining.
 White "camera bags" have white lining, the pink "camera bags" should have matching pink lining.
 Tan flap tote Cambon's should have black lining.

6. Authenticity cards: Fake authenticity cards, when reflecting in light, give off a rainbow hue. Authenticity cards should never give off a rainbow hue.

Note: Turn the card side to side and if you catch the light reflections in a multicolor (rainbow) glint, it is a fake. The real card only reflects gold lights. Also the fake card is thinner and you can bend it a little, whereas the real ones are thicker and sturdier.

Below is an image of a fake authenticiy card.
Note: The hologram sticker does match the card number. However, the hologram sticker is a clear fake when compared to the authentic images (pictured above in 1. Hologram sticker and compared to the image below), and the reflection of the fake authenticiy card gives off a rainbow hue, a clear sign of a fake. Also, the the "0" on the fake hologram sticker does not have the diagonal line through it.



Below are images of a matching AUTHENTIC Chanel hologram sticker and authenticity card number: Note: The gold card numbers do not reflect a raindbow hue, and the hologram sticker is authentic gold speckled.





7. Labels: Always ensure that the "Made in France" or "Made in Italy" is properly aligned under CHANEL on the interior tag. Also, Chanel bags should never be stamped "Made In Paris." This should also never be on the interior tag. The bag can be stamped Chanel with Paris underneath (not "Made in Paris"), but the "Made in Italy" or "Made in France" will also be stamped/embossed somewhere in the bag.

Note: The stamp impressions (Interior of handbag), the Chanel and Made in Italy/France should always match the hardware.

For gold hardware the stamps should be gold.
For silver hardware the stamps should be in silver.

Below is an image of a gold embossed symmetrical label:
Note: The "Made in France" is perfectly aligned underneath the "CHANEL" emboss. Also note the texture of the emboss, it is not a "printed on" label.



Below is an image of a fake Chanel label:
Note: Many times the tell is the tiny details. On this label the cross on the "H" is not centered correctly compared to the "H" on the authentic label (above). Also, the "L" looks a tad odd. The label does not look embossed, it looks like it has been cheaply printed on the leather, compared to the authentic label (above) which is textured, if you ran your finger over it you could feel the impression.
