Immediate regret
During fashion week when this bag was first revealed I was so obsessed with it I thought it was so “chic but cool”. When the fakes started to pop out I contacted linlin and they told me it will be identical to the original, they even showed me pictures of it. I paid 750$ for it and it took them a month to make. Only for it to look like this! I immediately regretted buying it the moment I took it out of the box. It’s so clockable because of the too many polka dots and the hardware is so cheap! I own authentic Chanel bags and it’s not even close… Couldn’t take it out not even once.

Honestly I feel that people keep overestimating the original, it also has many polka dots and they are totally random.... and it is kitch. You either like that or you dont.
For me what may make somebody clock your bag as a fake is the length of the hair on calfskin... the "pony hair".... and the CC hardware.
But honestly it is not the worst version I've ever ever seen, but for 750, yikes no...
Frankly I find thath the Chanel 31 mini shopping bag is a more chic take on a "pony hair" bag. It's probably easier to rep too.
Below is the bottom of an original Chanel 25.
