It only takes you 10 seconds to identify the authenticity of Chanel!

Chanel le boy and cf all over the street can’t tell whether it’s true or false. I challenged the subway for the second time a few days ago, and I got lost in the underpass again. I

couldn’t find the exit and ran up and down. I was so anxious that I scolded the person who designed the subway exit a hundred times.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up. A Chanel le boy was shaking in front of me, and I followed it in three steps and two steps. Go, follow the back and look carefully. The more you look at it, the more strange it is. Is it a fake again? As soon as I looked up, I found that the owner of the bag was staring back at me. Obviously, I was regarded as a thief…

Since I embarked on the road of appraiser, my occupational disease has been terminally ill. When I see a luxury bag, I want to distinguish between true and false. Sometimes I even want to reach out and touch the leather. No matter how many bags the company has, it is not as much as the people.

In the past, many students had a misunderstanding. They thought that they could see whether the bag was true or false when they stood 3 meters away, but! It turns out that the technology of fake bags is no longer a copycat of the past, and even the old Buddha himself can’t tell the real from the false!

The old Buddha could only smile bitterly in the face of the cottage.

So, as appraisers, we can’t look at the bag in a hundred steps. For the appraisal of the bag, we still need to start from the details.

Unless! Bags from this kind of fake dealer YY!

The identification of Chanel starts from a few points, and of course, it starts with a dust bag.

Big brands strive for excellence in details, while fake goods are different. They are considering profits. They cut corners in material selection and production. There is a lot of knowledge on this dust bag alone.

1. Dust-proof bag

left -true / right – false

First of all, from the material of the dust bag, the genuine dust bag is thick, and the number of pieces of cloth is fine. The fake equation bag is made of ordinary non-woven fabric material.

The number of branches of the cloth is very large. The equation bag plays the role of dust-proof and moisture-proof storage. If the cloth pores are too large, there is no way to prevent moisture.

We look at the diamond pattern on the genuine dust bag. The authentic pattern, such as brush painting, generally has a difference in thickness, but the fake dust bag is indeed the same thickness.

left -true / right – false

There is also a hand drawing on the side of Miss Coco in the dust bag. The same authentic hand drawing shows the thickness of the brush we just mentioned. There is also a signature in the lower right corner.

This is the handwritten signature of the old Buddha. There is also a distinction between the thickness of the pen on the same signature.

The fake is on the right side of Miss Coco and The old Buddha has also been deformed, and the whole is very rigid.

2. Logo font

Chanel’s fonts are all designed, and they can’t be used casually typed with word. Therefore, the logo is very important for identification.

Let’s first look at C. This C is a positive round state. The horizontal of H is like a belt. The belt of Chanel’s H is on the upper side, and the letter A is a flat head. The upper part is very different from the A of lv.

The point is that E, the middle of the horizontal is short, and the lower horizontal is the longest.

According to the above picture, let’s judge whether the bronzing is true or false.

This is a genuine bronzing.

3. Let’s talk about hardware.

left -true / right – false

The polishing of hardware is very important in hardware. Genuine hardware has been polished, such as the one-character screw on the left.

There is a trace of polishing in the horizontal position in the middle. Let’s take a look at the fake on the right. It uses cross screws, and the corners are not polished, which is very rough. From this point, we You can judge whether it is true or false.

In addition, it is worth mentioning the rules for big brands to choose screws. Big brands will choose one-line screws or hexagonal screws as the material for fixing hardware, and will never use cross screws!!!

left-false / right – true

4. Hardware engraving

The process of fake and genuine logo engraving is completely different. The authentic engraving uses the method of casting engraving. The characteristics of casting engraving are

The bottom of the engraving is smooth with polishing marks, and the curvature of the engraving is round. Let’s look at the engraving of fake goods. The engraving of fake goods is very vague.

The curvature of the same double C logo engraving is not clear, and the bottom is uneven, and the engraving of fake goods is very blurred.

We talked about screws and engraving. Now we can look at it in combination. First of all, the big brands use one-character screws or hexagonal screws, so there is a problem on the left. Then let’s take a look at the engraving. The authentic engraving is cast engraving. The curvature of the engraved letters is very clear, and the bottom of the font is very flat because of polishing.

5. Hardware selection

left -true / right – false

Let’s take a closer look at the hardware position of the nail buckle. First of all, from the shape of the hardware, the position of the circle must be regular and round, and the position of the fake goods is obviously uneven. Then look at the engraving of the logo on the button.

The authentic engraving is still identified according to the method of hardware engraving. The authentic engraving is clear and the font arc is very comfortable, but the engraving of the fake is very rough and the engraving is also very blurred. The overall engraving is of poor quality.

Through the identification of packaging and hardware details, you can identify the authenticity of Chanel. Have you learned these five simple skills? There are many methods of Chanel’s identification methods, much more than these points.

I have bought so much vintage, but I have a special love for Chanel. The strongest strategy of vintage is here.

In recent years, the vintage decorations of European and American stars have become popular all over the ins. There are countless stars who like vintage, and the shadow of vintage can be seen in almost every set. Vintage often has a luxurious Baroque style.

The magnificent and exaggerated and complicated design is highly recognizable, which is particularly prominent in accessories.

Most of modern jewelry is small and exquisite to highlight the sense of design, while the materials made of precious gold and gemstones emphasize the texture.

Vintage is the opposite, with a strong and historical style, the Art Deco style in the 1920s, the retro elegance in the 1950s, and the swinging trend in the 1960s. The hippie style of the 1970s… The Vintage accessory design of each era also has a distinct historical and cultural imprint of that time.

In terms of accessories, Chanel in the Coco period is mainly made of pearl material, pearl necklaces of different levels and lengths, pearl ear clips with large particles, etc., and the design is also relatively simple. It reflects the elegance and independence of women.

Someone once asked: Why use fake jewelry? Coco replied lightly: “Because they are in such a low-key and luxurious atmosphere.

It doesn’t seem to be as arrogant as (real jewelry).

Since Lafayette took office, Chanel began to try the mix and match of different materials in the design of jewelry. On the basis of traditional pearl accessories, a large number of leather and metal materials were added, and on the basis of maintaining consistent elegance, there was also a rebellious and tough one.

The world of vintage

What is vintage?

Some collectors will think that vintage is made by famous brand designers (such as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Balenciaga…). If a famous designer brand has a history of 20 years, it is the most authentic. Vintage items.

In terms of time, vintage jewelry refers to 1940-1980 (even divided into 1990). The preservation rate of these jewelry is quite high, and the most sought-after one is chanel, so that the price of many vintage jewelry has long exceeded that of modern models.


Why is the design style of vintage so exaggerated?

The exaggerated style is also closely related to the background of the times. The 1980s was the golden age of punk. The style of punk also infected jewelry design, and the pompous design slowly showed. For example, the rock elements of the rivet chain were frequently used in jewelry design.

Among them, there are classic double C logo, four-leaf clover, cross, love, glaze, pearl and other elements. It can be said that the whole 1980s can be said to be the creator of the chanel style.

In addition, the exaggerated design of Chanel jewelry and the small black skirt of coco are inseparable. The simple tailoring and elegant style of the small black skirt are sought after by the times, and the first choice of the small black skirt is gorgeous Chanel jewelry.

Why is Chanel vintage so valuable?

Vintage jewelry includes Dior, GIVENCHY, Chanel… It seems that only Chanel is so hot and expensive.

In fact, this has something to do with Chanel’s own craftsmanship. In addition to the brand value and unique design style, Chanel’s gold-plated craftsmanship and color are very special. It is because of the excellent craftsmanship that many Chanel vintages retain today, and the luster is not reduced.


What is the value of Chanel vintage?

Unlike the modern model in the counter, vintage has a clear price, which may be because of its rarity, its appearance, and its craftsmanship. Their value is very different. For example, a Chanel ear clip is even more valuable than a set of Dior jewelry. The price of Chanel vintage jewelry has been increasing all the way. Of course, the value of the jewelry including glass is the highest. Once a friend of mine took a fa Chanel medieval ear. The price of the clip is about 3,000. She has been hesitant. After the last pair of ear clips was sold, the friend regretted it and saw the same model in other stores, with a price of more than 5,000.

Nowadays, the price of many vintages is very high, which is inseparable from the celebrity effect.

For example

The backpack on Duma’s back is a good example. According to a netizen, the price that could be bought at about 6k-7k 3-4 years ago, now it needs to be between 1.1w and 1.5w to buy it.

For example,

At the Victoria’s Secret conference, Rihanna brought this vintage chanel sunglasses covered with pearls, which was sold to more than $7,000.

Therefore, the price of vintage will be affected by various factors, and there is also a lot of room for appreciation.

Is there any fakes in vintage?

As we all know, where there are fake goods where they are popular, and there are no shadows of fake goods in Chanel’s vintage. So how to judge whether it is true or false?

Step 1

After Buddha took charge of Chanel, he invited victore de castellane to become the chief designer of jewelry. Since then, the anti-counterfeiting label behind Chanel has become oval.

Anti-counterfeiting standard modeling from 1986 to 1989 (authentic)

The anti-counterfeiting engraving on the back of Chanel imitation made by inverted molding process is very unclear (fake)

Of course, most of the Chanel vintage jewelry seen now is oval. The authentic label is very clear, and the fake will be very vague.

The anti-counterfeiting marks of the hanging tags used in some necklaces should be judged in combination with the workmanship of other parts (authentic)

The anti-counterfeiting marks of the hanging tags used in some necklaces should be judged in combination with the workmanship of other parts (authentic)

Step 2

Secondly, the most important thing is the situation of the electroplating layer. It should be emphasized that the genuine Chanel vintage electroplating layer is very thick, because the thick electroplating layer makes most of the jewelry still shiny.

Step 3

Finally, the weight is the weight. Generally speaking, the weight of vintage is solid. The metal density is very high, and the very light vintage is very suspicious.

Suddenly I remembered the joke of the gold chain floating in the swimming pool.

Vintage can be used as a separate “discipline”, large environmental background, design concept, material selection, technology…

As a fan of Chanel vintage, I will buy all kinds of goods. One day, when I visit salted fish, I laugh and cry in bed.

It is estimated that this seller himself doesn’t know what vintage is. He doesn’t know how to read the insurance card, and he doesn’t know the year label. He doesn’t know all kinds of Chanel, and even sells vintage. He also says that it’s genuine, which makes people who know how to do it speechless. This is a proper sale of fake goods… It’s really terrible.

Vintage Chanel matching tips

Although I like vintage, how to match it?

Remember a golden rule: Vintage Chanel is a visual focus. When matching, use simple clothes as much as possible to highlight “or” with a vintage skirt with a modern wide shoe bag, with simple makeup.

It is also one of the ways to grasp the “degree”

For example

Vintage with cowboy elements is also a good choice.

In addition, color matching is also very important. In the field of vintage, black + gold is the most classic color matching and the most advanced color matching. It is guaranteed that there is no mistake in choosing black clothing.

The superposition of brooch is very eye-catching and fashionable.

The brooch can also be used on the bag to make a DIY effect.


How to maintain vintage?

One

Don’t touch cosmetics, especially makeup remover, nail polish… These are easy to coat the surface of clothing accessories. If you accidentally get it, remember to wipe it clean.

Two

Try to avoid using the same jewelry often.

Three

Wear it carefully to reduce wear and tear.

Four

When not wearing it, be sure to wipe it clean and put it in a sealed bag to avoid oxidation.
