Gold or silver Chanel stamp,The logo for Chanel will be embossed, a label that is leather and a rectangle or oval with the words Chanel in it in gold or silver or a black label with the words Chanel in white or black label with vertical lines in it. If you do not see any of these inside your bag then chances are it is a fake. Also if the the label has come off it is probably fake.
• All of the Chanel products as of the 90s, as well as vintage Chanel will have a serial number. This number has to match the serial authenticity card each Chanel purse comes with.
• Every single Chanel bag out there has the logo either Chanel or cc on the zipper pull. If the one you have purchased does not have this then chances are that you have gotten a fake bag.

Who Was Coco Chanel?

Coco Chanel was very strong woman entrepreneurs back in the 20th century. This woman's real name was Gabrielle and was born in 1883. Her mother passed away and father left her with nuns to be raised by them. She had accumulated the nick name coco from two songs she had sung. Coco had met a gentile man who helped her start her own business this man was Artur Capel. Gabrielle Chanel dedicated her whole self in to making her business go places even through the war that had broken out. When she had first started she was a hat maker for all of the divas and then many of her customers told Paris about her beautiful designs. Soon after that the business just kept on becoming better and better for her. Right after the war had been declared she closed up shop and things started to go down hill slightly. During this time she moved to Switzerland and resided there for 10 years. In 1953, Chanel at the ripe age of 70 then decided to reopen her shop back up again. But things didn't start to really happen for her until three years later. Once she had changed the style of her dresses and clothing for the more modern ages that is when it started to become big.
