How Love Luxury Verifies Authentic Hermès & Chanel Bags
Hermès
Blind stamps reveal the year of manufacture and include artisan/workshop codes. We cross-reference these against documented historical patterns. Placement and format are checked, as counterfeiters often make consistent errors.
Chanel
We review Chanel’s evolving serial system, from date codes in the 1980s to today’s metal plates with unique alphanumeric combinations. Authentic serial stickers never display rainbow holograms—a common counterfeit sign.
2. Stitching & Craftsmanship Analysis
Hermès
Saddle stitching, created by hand with two needles and a continuous thread, produces natural, subtle imperfections. Machine stitching cannot replicate this.
Chanel
Authentic Chanel bags feature up to eleven stitches per panel with small, even spacing.
3. Material & Leather Inspection Leather: Genuine leather develops patina naturally, with aroma and suppleness that synthetics cannot replicate. Hardware: Authentic hardware may scratch or tarnish but never peel or flake. Weight, engraving depth, and finish are carefully examined. Chanel chains: Genuine chains have substantial weight and construction quality.
Hermès
Heat stamps and foil application must meet brand standards. Clochettes are crafted from single leather pieces, folded and stitched. Counterfeits often use two separate pieces.
Chanel
The interlocking CC logo follows precise geometric specifications. Font weight and spacing vary by era, and we verify against those standards.
