How can you tell if the pair of Chanel Sunglasses that you are about to buy online are genuine?

Chanel sunglasses are packaged in a branded carry case. Because this is an older model, Chanel used a spring-loaded protective case. This case has marks, etc on it, but the Chanel glasses are perfect because of the solid protective casing. The Chanel logo and font match the official Chanel type style.

The inside of the right arm features 'Made in Italy' followed by the letters 'CE' signifying European Conformity.

The inside of the left temple features a model number followed by a colour code and frame measurement. The Chanel logo may also feature on this temple.

The glasses feature a small Chanel logo etched into the right lens.

Current Chanel sunglasses feature a serial number etched into the right lens and a small Chanel logo etched into the left lens.

On the barcode sticker under the Chanel box is a name: Luxottica. One of the companies that Chanel partners with to manufacture their eyewear is the Italian eyewear company Luxottica, who are leaders in the eyewear industry and produce frames for a wide range of luxury brands, including Ray-Ban, Prada, and Versace under licensing agreements with each brand. Luxottica manufactures frames for luxury lines including Giorgio Armani, Chanel, Prada and Bulgari, as well as producing its own models.
