Part 2: recent CHANEL clothing authentication cases, 2017PF–2023S.

For United Kingdom readers, these jackets, dresses, knitwear and denim show how modern counterfeits reproduce labels, numbers and even spare materials. They do not suggest that every garment from the named collections is problematic.

Typeface, product number and supplied details are checked against authentic examples.

2019A｜Knit Dress

A counterfeit knit dress repeated the buttons, knit pattern and product-label numbers. The slight difference in lettering made this case relatively clear only when both labels were placed side by side.

2021PS｜Denim Jacket

A denim jacket bought on a person-to-person marketplace was difficult to judge at first glance. Comparison with our button, label and construction data found clear differences. The counterfeit typeface was the first sign, with further small inconsistencies; more detail will be published only with the customer’s permission.

2021PF｜Spare-Fabric Envelope

Counterfeits have reached 2021 Pre-Fall and Métiers d’Art, including listings on widely used platforms and pieces identified during pre-purchase enquiries. Complex designs are now copied closely; examples after 2021 even include a paper envelope for spare fabric. Another 21PF jacket was bought for ¥190,000.

2022S｜Typeface & Spare Thread

Several online examples are known. The differences are so small that we withhold the full list to avoid assisting further refinement. Near-matching label lettering and counterfeit garments supplied with spare thread both appear in the photographs.

2023S｜Labels Beyond Appearance

Many 23S counterfeits have been listed and some bought at high prices. Faint print can occur on an authentic label, while a counterfeit may look convincing. Ink density and first impressions alone are not enough.
