And because of this adherence to quality standards, the authenticity card is always a good place to look when spotting a phony Chanel handbag. Always check the auth card number against the number inside the handbag, printed on the hologram sticker. The number associated with the authenticity card should always be the same number that is seen on the hologram sticker inside the handbag. Every card associated with a handbag will be made of the higher quality materials than a that of a lesser brand. Every product is intricately detailed and crafted, even down to the smallest, seemingly irrelevant products like an authenticity card accompanying a handbag. A genuine auth card will be manufactured with the same quality standard of all the Chanel handbag products, including, but not limited to, hardware, care books, labels, straps, o rings etc. If there is any discrepancy, even with a single digit, that should be an automatic red flag.

Chanel has some of the highest quality standards in the fashion world.

A card made with lesser quality, generally the way many counterfeit cards are made, can sometimes throw off a rainbow reflection.
