How do you tell if a Chanel sweater is authentic?
To tell if a Chanel sweater is authentic, first examine its interior tags. Chanel has changed its labels over the years, and you can find images of its various clothing tags published on trusted online resources. By comparing the logos, wording, color and size of the tags in your piece to these pictures, you may spot errors or inconsistencies that indicate your piece is likely a fake. Also, examine the stitching, seams and knit closely. Any flaws or imperfections will usually mean a sweater isn't an authentic Chanel, as the French luxury fashion house doesn't sell "second quality" or "factory" garments. A certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can also assist as you authenticate your sweater. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Chanel sweaters.
