What’s the big deal? Well in the world of Chanel, details matter. At first glance, it’s probably tough for most to tell the difference between two similar Chanel medium flap bags. Before I tell you go ahead and guess: which one’s the real deal? It is the black medium flap bag with silver hardware or is the beige apricot medium flap bag with gold hardware? Keep in mind both bags are made with Chanel’s distinctive yet luxe caviar leather.
Chanel. Chanel. Chanel. I could say Chanel a million times more and it wouldn’t sound any less chic. It is one of my favorite designers and it probably also one of your favorite designers if you have landed here. Being Chanel obsessed does present a challenge however: the constant desire to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars for a new Chanel goodie. Although I love buying authentic Chanel items (this post does compare a real Chanel bag to a replica Chanel bag after all), I dabble in replicas as well (as the name of this blog implies) and I can’t help but keep this particular replica Chanel bag to myself.
Here’s a hint: the beige apricot caviar leather bag with gold hardware is the replica. I guess that was more an answer than a hint but I couldn’t resist spilling the beans. The replica Chanel bag so close in design to the authentic or original black caviar leather Chanel bag with silver hardware that it’s easy to get them mixed up.
How does one analyze the difference between authentic and replica and even determine what kind of a replica bag is good to buy? Fortunately I have years of experience so let’s dive into the details. This reading is perfect for those either replica curious or replica enthusiastic.
Comparing Proportions and Alignments
Both bags maintain impeccable proportions. Every line and curve seem meticulously designed, mirroring each other with perfection. This isn’t something one typically finds with regular replicas, making this super fake replica an impressive creation.
The Texture of Leather
The beige replica boasts a small-grained caviar leather, while the authentic black version has the standard caviar. This difference is subtle, and unless directly compared, it’s easily overlooked.
How Hardware Color Varies
Despite the difference in hardware colors (light gold vs. silver), the sheen and aesthetic feel surprisingly similar, showing the lengths the makers of the replica have gone to ensure accuracy.
Puffiness and Aesthetic Appeal
The puffiness of both bags matches perfectly. This is especially noteworthy as achieving the right level of puffiness is a common pitfall for many replicas.
Assessing Stitching Quality
Minus the border stitches, the flaps on both bags seem uncannily alike. The stitching alignment is meticulous and stands out as one of the reasons this superfake is head and shoulders above its counterparts.
Dimensions and Grommet Placement: What You Need to Know
While the authentic black version is slightly longer, the grommet placement and size are spot on in the replica.
Back Pocket Alignment: A Side by Side Look
This is 1:1, which further boosts the credibility of the replica.
Evaluating Sheen Levels
The one noticeable difference is the sheen. The replica’s leather presents a more matte finish, but again, without side-by-side comparison, this difference is minor.
Internal Hardware Placement: A Close Look
This is astonishingly accurate at 100%, a detail often overlooked in many replicas but not in this superfake.
Differences in Chain and Turnlocks
The replica’s chains are noticeably stiffer and bulkier, and the turnlock on the replica has a louder, more pronounced click, which may appeal to some. Both the chain and the leather strap are thicker on the replica, making it feel more robust.
A Look at Flap Corners
The malleability of the replica’s corners compared to the authentic’s stiffer ones is a difference, but this could be attributed to wear and tear over time.
Price Comparison: Is it Worth It?
One of the most significant differences between the authentic Chanel bag and the replica Chanel Bag, which cannot be overlooked, is the price tag. Authentic Chanel medium flap bags can set you back several thousands of dollars. Authentic Chanel bags are an investment. On the other hand, the superfake comes in at a much more wallet-friendly $600.
Since the price of the superfake replica Chanel bag is much less it makes it way more comfortable to carry the bag and wear it knowing that I am not risking damaging such a pricey investment. Many replica enthusiasts I regularly buy copies of their authentic bags for daily use while they store their authentic bags to prevent damage. That’s one way to get the best of both worlds.
Basically for someone that is seeking the aesthetics, quality, and feel of a Chanel bag without the hefty price tag, the super fake replica bag offers an extremely appealing option. Considering the painstaking attention to detail and the high quality of the super fake replica, $600 feels like a steal. On a personal level I’d say that this price difference justifies the minute discrepancies between the authentic bag and the replica bag.

Final Thoughts – to buy or not to buy
In conclusion, for a replica enthusiast, this Chanel super fake replica medium flap bag is nothing short of a steal. Its impeccable design, detailed alignment, and near-authentic feel make it a worthy purchase. While there are subtle differences, they only become apparent upon close inspection and direct comparison. And this direct comparison must be done by someone who is quite knowledgeable about Chanel products.
Are the details noticeable when I’m wearing the bag while out on the town? The answer is simple – NO! You wouldn’t even bat an eyelash.
This replica bag is phenomenal overall – and let me emphasize that I have bought a lot of replica bags so when I say ‘phenomenal’ I mean it! This replica bag has been crafted with a level of finesse and craftsmanship that is truly commendable.
As we all know it is said that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” and I’d say that this level of imitation makes the flattery that much more sincere.
Thank you for this review. It is so informative! Love your blog.
I bought a bag from SOC as well and it is stunning. Hope they are around for a while as I plan to make many purchases from them.
