Beware of fakes, deterioration, and condition! How to safely buy an authentic Chanel jacket [Photo Guide]

Hello😊

Today, I'd like to share a word of caution with everyone.

Unfortunately, we've seen an increase in cases where product photos taken at our store have their logos removed and are then used by other sellers as their own product photos.

Such sellers do not photograph the actual items they have in stock, but rather are selling items that have the same design but are not the exact same product.

While the act of removing our logo and using our photos could be seen as a testament to the quality of our photos, there is a serious underlying reason why we cannot be pleased about it.

That is, we are increasingly receiving inquiries from customers seeking advice.

"I bought something from another seller because the photos looked good, but what I received wasn't good quality."

This is a problem, and a lot of people are saying this.

Reasons Why Photos Look Good

We've heard this from repeat customers several times: "I bought something from another seller because the photos looked good, but what I received felt worn out and out of shape..."

When they show us the purchase link, they are using our photos to sell their products.

"Ah, these are our photos..."

Now, I'd like to explain a little about clothing photos.

For a photo to look good, it's not just about photographic technique; the texture and lines of the jacket itself are crucial.

In other words, if the tweed weave is crushed or the item is out of shape, it will inevitably be reflected in the photo.

Therefore, because they cannot photograph their own items well, they use our photos to sell their products. But then, when the item arrives, the problem arises:
"When the item arrived, it was somehow different..."

Conversely, even with excellent photographic technique, it is very difficult to beautifully photograph items where the tweed weave is crushed and has lost its texture, or where it has lost its shape.

It's hard to believe, but we often hear such disappointed voices from customers.

Current Situation with Many Fakes and Counterfeit Products

What's more problematic is the existence of sellers who use photos of genuine Chanel jackets to sell fakes.

However, it seems that customers usually spot these quite quickly, so we don't hear about this particular issue as often.

"Isn't this TC's photo? Is it being used on a fake product page?"

Currently, we often become aware of such cases through reports like these.

Points to Note When Purchasing

Keep the following points in mind to avoid trouble when purchasing:

1. Compare if photos are similar
   
   If you see a photo that looks familiar or similar, compare and verify it across multiple pages.

2. Check photos of the actual item
   
   It's recommended to ask the seller, "Could you please show me photos of the actual item?" to confirm its condition.

3. Check reviews and ratings
   
   Refer to the seller's ratings and reviews from past buyers to determine their trustworthiness.

4. Suspect the possibility of fakes
   
   Many fake clothing items may be sold. Even for genuine Chanel jackets, do not rely solely on photos and verify carefully.

Summary

When purchasing a Chanel jacket online, it is important not to rely solely on photos and product descriptions, but to thoroughly check the condition of the actual item.
