What Boaz checks

What the extended review covers

A Chanel or Hermès bag is checked on more points than a standard bag, because high-end replicas copy the obvious details well.

Want to check a code yourself first? Try the free Chanel serial checker or the Hermès blind stamp checker.

Paying thousands for a bag?

Get it checked before you transfer the money. An extended review costs a fraction of a five-figure mistake.

  1. Serial stickers, cards and blind stamps

    Chanel serial sticker format and hologram, and Hermès blind stamps, craftsman stamps and year letters, matched against the bag's era.

  2. Quilting, stitching and leather

    Chanel quilting alignment and stitch count per diamond, and Hermès saddle stitching, which is done by hand and slightly angled.

  3. Hardware and turn-locks

    CC turn-lock shape and screws, Hermès clochette, lock and key stamps, plus plating wear that should match the bag's age.

  4. Heat stamps and interior

    Font, spacing and depth of the heat stamp, lining material and interior pocket construction.

  5. Shape, structure and proportions

    Flap alignment, handle and strap proportions, and how the bag holds its shape, compared with authentic bags from the same period.

General

Why does a Chanel or Hermès bag cost more?

They're the most replicated luxury bags, and the best replicas copy the obvious details well. Each one gets an extended review with more checkpoints, and Boaz will often ask for extra photos. That takes more time, so the price is €71,95 instead of €44,95.

Is a serial number or blind stamp enough to prove it's real?

No. Serial stickers and blind stamps are copied on replicas too. They help only when they match the bag's era and every other detail, which is what the extended review checks.

Which photos do I need?

The front, back, sides and base, the interior, the heat stamp, the serial sticker or blind stamp, all hardware up close, and the stitching on the flap, handles and corners. The photo guide shows examples.

Do you authenticate Chanel and Hermès clothing or accessories?

Yes. Clothing, shoes and small leather goods from Chanel and Hermès are checked at €35,95 under designer clothing, shoes and accessories. The €71,95 extended review is for bags.

What if you can't give a confident verdict?

First we'll ask for more photos. If the verdict is still inconclusive, we explain why and refund your order in full.

Do you use AI or automated tools to authenticate items?

No. Every authentication is performed by Boaz, a human luxury specialist. Your verdict is always based on human judgement, never on an algorithm.
