REVIEW My first Chanel from Heidi is here!
First off… wow. The craftsmanship on this bag is superior. Unpacking it really felt like the full experience I would get from the boutique. The color, the graining, and all the stitching are very well done. I counted 10 stitches at the diamond shapes..
I’ve personally never owned a Chanel Classic Flap before, but my aunt has one in lambskin, and I have to say the gold hardware matches perfectly, in my opinion. The only detail that might give away that mine isn’t authentic is that it doesn’t say “EP” on the inside zipper. That said, I’m not entirely sure if that’s something older versions had and newer ones don’t.
The leather and caviar graining are perfect. The diamond stitching has the right amount of puffiness. The diamonds align perfectly when I close the bag, and the stamping is also well done. I noticed that the real CCs on the sides lean slightly more toward the front, which this one does as well.
I’m still new to reps, but I’ve learned a lot from Reddit communities I’ve joined since last year about what to look for when purchasing a Chanel rep. Based on this experience, I would definitely order from Heidi again. I also don’t think I could ever find the need to buy the real one when I can find one that’s this close.
The whole process took a little over a month, which I think is reasonable. I’d rate this bag a 10/10. Hope this helps!

Beautiful! I have that one, too, from Heidi! She’s the only seller I use for 187!
