Recently, we received a question from our community, asking: ‘How to read a Chanel tag’. I thought it might worth pointing out. The Chanel tag has an important role in identifying the authenticity of the bag. You see, the date of birth of your Chanel bag is scripted on it and if it doesn’t relate to the seller’s story, you will instantly know it’s fake.
11P: represents the collection of the Chanel bags
08 represents 2008
09 represents 2009
10 represents 2010
11 represents 2011
12 represents 2012
And so on…
P represents Printemp or spring
A represents Autumn collection
S represents Summer collection
V represents Continuous line
C represents Cruis collection
In our example, 11P means 2011 Printemp/Spring collection.

Its from the 2014 Collection, I belief its from the Fall 2014. Do you have a pic? Please upload it in the comment
Hey Alex, thanks for the quick response. The pics are a little dark. I’m not sure if you can see but the bag has two pockets on the side. Inside is only one compartment with a side zipper compartment.
Here’s the 2nd pic
This should be from the Fall 2014 Collection, how much was the price. This is a new flap bag!
