The other day I was so excited when I stumbled upon a Chanel Caviar Double Flap Bag on sale. This designer handbag was on the list of the most iconic and sought after handbags and I was so eager to own it. To be honest, I was almost willing to take out a loan just to get it. But then my friends stepped in and told me that I should be careful because this particular bag might be a fake.
And so began my research journey. After hours of deep digging, I finally had an idea of what to look for when it comes to spotting a fake Chanel Caviar Double Flap Bag. Let me tell you, I almost felt like a detective searching for clues and verifying facts. It was exhausting but also extremely rewarding.
The first thing I learned is that you need to look at the hardware. The easiest way to spot a fake is to look at the details. Most high-end designer handbags have an engraving of their logo on the hardware and that alone is a sure way to tell if it’s a fake or not. So make sure to take a close look at the buckle and also the code stamps engraved somewhere onto the hardware. Most of the Chanel handbags also have a leather patch that says “Caviar” right between the hardware.
The second thing I learned is that Chanel Caviar Double Flap Bags are made from high quality leather and they feel almost squishy to the touch. They are also usually made in soft leather colors. If you come across a brighter color that may be a sign that it’s a fake.
The last thing I learned is that the stitching on high-end designer handbags is almost perfect. The lines should be aligned and there should not be more than three stitches per inch, especially in the areas around the handles and screws. Also the spacing between the stitches should be even and they should appear straight and clean, without any knots or signs of unraveling.
Now that I knew my ABC’s of spotting a fake, all that was left to do was to double check it against the one I found. And as it turns out, it was a perfect match! Thank goodness because if it wasn’t, I would’ve been out of a lot of money!
After my little detective mission, I was finally ready to purchase my dream Chanel Caviar Double Flap Bag. This designer handbag really looked like a piece of art. To my eye, it looked absolutely perfect and I could tell that it was going to last many years to come.
Once I got home, the next thing I had to make sure was that I kept it safe and in good condition for as long as possible. The way to ensure this is to make sure that I clean it once in a while. This means that once every month or so I will have to bring out the leather cleaning kit and take care of my handbag.
To make sure that my bag stays dust free, I also decided to invest in a dust bag, which is a bag made out of fabric especially designed for handbags. I can just slip my bag in the dust bag and keep it safe from any dirt particles and dust.
Another way to give my bag the best care possible is to store it in an appropriate place. What this means is that I store it in a dry, dust free place and away from direct sunlight. I also make sure that the bag has enough space and air to breathe and that it is never placed near any heat sources, such as a heater.
Then of course, there’s the matter of security. I like to make sure that I keep my precious Chanel Caviar Double Flap Bag safe from any type of theft or damage. This means that I always make sure to double lock it and carry it close to me when I go out. I even get alarms for my house just to make sure that my handbag isn’t taken away.
I also like to take extra precautions, like using GPS trackers that can show me where my bag is if I ever misplace it. This way I can greatly reduce the possibility of something bad happening and I can easily find it no matter what.
Last but not least, I always make sure to have my handbag professionally appraised and documented. This is the best way to make sure that my Chanel Caviar Double Flap Bag is insured. It also makes me feel more secure, knowing that no matter what, I can always find a replacement if something really bad happens.
Overall, my Chanel Caviar Double Flap Bag is the most precious thing in my wardrobe. I’m so glad that I took the time to research properly and to make sure that it’s authentic and well taken care of. It’s definitely something I take a lot of pride in owning.
