Chanel brand glasses are a status accessory that any person with a sense of style wishes to become the owner of. The problem is that today many online stores offer imitation instead of the original versions from a well-known manufacturer. The price of real Chanel brand glasses is about four hundred US dollars, so not everyone will decide to risk and give such a serious amount for a fake. But there is a way out and the manufacturer offers it. It is only necessary to carefully consider the proposed copy and evaluate it according to some parameters that the company strictly follows.
Optical Bandwidth
UV protection is an important property by which it is easy to determine the authenticity of a model. Chanel sunglasses reliably protect the eyesight of its owner from the dangerous effects of ultraviolet radiation, this figure is 98%. Fakes, as a rule, pass up to 50%.
The throughput of protective lenses will be determined by specialists using professional equipment. It is sad that this indicator will not help a simple buyer to independently determine the authenticity of points. However, this serves as additional evidence that the surrogate may not be harmless.
Article and country of manufacture
Chanel glasses are made only in Italy, therefore the inscription Made in Italy must be present on the inside of the model’s right arm. The brand name (Chanel), located in front of the declared country of origin, is printed in a different font and is surrounded by the copyright symbol on the one hand and the registered trademark on the other - © CHANEL®. The CE mark must be affixed to the same bow to confirm compliance with European quality standards.
On the inside of the other specimen handle, the article number must be indicated next to the already familiar sample © CHANEL®. Chanel glasses, the photo will illustrate the given example, have a model number and color code. For example, it can be written in a similar way: 6041 (glasses model) 538 / S9 (color code). It is recommended to take a closer look at the little things: for example, on the original there is a lowercase letter “c” in front of the color code, and the square between the digits of the serial number is less than the rest of the digital values.
Lenses glasses
Violations in the production of glasses, which falsify, can cause serious harm to human health, as they can provoke ophthalmic diseases in those who wear glasses with defective lenses. The most important parameters that will help determine a high-quality brand model include:
- Uniform lens thickness. Only expensive modern equipment will allow you to qualitatively squander the lenses. Therefore, when identifying a fake, you should pay attention to this factor: lenses with poor cuts and uneven glass thickness are clearly fake.
- Lens flexure is another additional feature. The anatomically correct concave shape that copies the shape of a human face makes Chanel glasses comfortable. The original cannot have absolutely straight glass.
- The correct tilt of the glass, which will not distort the view and provides the necessary refraction of sunlight. Fakes, as a rule, do not have this parameter at all.
- The color of the lens should be uniform, extraneous shades and overflows serve as proof that this instance is an imitation.
- Adherence of lenses to the frame: gaps and crevices are excluded in the samples, claiming authenticity.
Glass marking
The serial number of the copy is laser-engraved on the inside of the glasses glass. It is a set of letters and numbers without spaces. The presence of a gap will yield an unauthentic model, which, in all other respects, can repeat genuine Chanel glasses. You can ask for real serial numbers on the official website of chanel.com. The lenses of the glasses must have a laser logo of the company. Moreover, if the glasses are one hundred percent genuine, you can see these inscriptions only at a certain angle, since laser application makes them inconspicuous. The fake, on the contrary, simply "screams" about itself, with the help of bright labels trying to impersonate a famous brand.
Fasteners, bridge, locks and other structural elements
Particular attention is required to the structural details that make up the Chanel glasses. How to distinguish a fake with their help?
- The lock of the original model, connecting the frame of the glasses with the arms, has only one loop. Surrogates, as a rule, sin with double loops.
- All fasteners manufactured on the latest equipment have a reliable coating, resistant to damage, it does not crumble and does not peel off during operation.
- The original bridge is made of flexible but very durable material. During the fitting, he will not cause discomfort.
Packaging
Genuine "Chanel" glasses are delivered in the original packaging, on which there is a logo, barcode and other product data. All information about the model indicated on the package: serial number, color code, etc., must match the similar inscriptions engraved directly on the lenses and arms of the product. Any, even minor difference gives out a fake.
A corporate case for glasses, a case, a napkin with a brand logo for glass care, and a warranty card or passport with clearly printed typographic text are always included with company copies. The absence of one of the listed components indicates a fake.
By the way, the high price of the goods is not an indicator that the glasses model is really a branded product. Trying to disguise imitation as a well-known brand, counterfeiters often sell their surrogate at an unreasonably high price. Therefore, you should not believe in either price or attractive appearance, but it is better to check all the details and verify the authenticity of what the seller offers.
