How can you tell how old Chanel is?

How can you tell how old Chanel is?
To tell how old Chanel is, first look for a date stamp. Chanel started using a numerical marking system on its pieces in 1986. By comparing the first two digits of this number to information published on trusted online resources, you can determine approximately when the French luxury fashion house produced it. For older pieces, you can conduct research using online references or consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Find a variety of Chanel bags, apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
