It's real leather-based and I cannot tell difference between my bag and the true factor. The bag smells of real leather-based and it feels like an actual LV. You can even see how the replica bag (silver-tone hardware) folds extra from a birds-eye-view . On the authentic duster , you probably can see that "CHANEL" is written in white, daring letters centered within the center. On the pretend duster , you'll have the ability to see that "CHANEL" is written in a pale gray shade. It can be written in the mistaken entrance, which appears to be thinner. The faux emblem is also slightly off-centre
