Critère, Ce qui départage les deux références

Notre conseil d'expert

  • Try both sizes before deciding: the difference is apparent when worn, not in a photo.
  • Given the same budget, a piece in excellent condition is preferable to a rarer, damaged model.
  • Ask us for a video comparison: we will present both items side-by-side.

Chanel Classic ou Boy : deux références que nos experts comparent quotidiennement en atelier. Le choix se joue sur l'usage réel, la liquidité du modèle sur le marché secondaire et l'état de la pièce proposée. Collectible leather goods are judged on three points: the material, the condition of the corners and the consistency of the hardware.

How to authenticate

  • Regularity of stitching and alignment of the monogram on the joins
  • Heat stamp, date code or blind stamp consistent with the announced year
  • Ferrures : poids, gravure nette, absence de traces de replaquage
  • Original lining and zip, with no unnotified replacements
