Brand glasses "Chanel" - a status accessory that any person with a sense of style wants to become the owner of. The problem is that today many online stores offer imitations instead of original versions from a well-known manufacturer. The price of real Chanel glasses is about four hundred US dollars, so not everyone will dare to risk and give such a serious amount for a fake. But there is a way out and it is offered by the manufacturer himself. 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, which makes it easy to determine the authenticity of the model. Sunglasses "Chanel" reliably protect the eyesight of its owner from the dangerous effects of ultraviolet radiation,this figure is 98%. Fakes usually miss 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 the glasses. However, this is further proof that a surrogate may not be harmless.

Article and country of manufacture

Chanel glasses are produced only in Italy, so the inscription Made in Italy must be present on the inside of the right temple of the model. The brand name (Chanel) before the declared country of origin is in a different font and surrounded by a copyright icon on the one hand and a registered trademark on the other - ©CHANEL®. The same shackle must bear the CE mark, as a confirmation of compliance with European quality standards.

On the inside of the other bow of the copy, the article number must be indicated next to the already familiar ©CHANEL® sample. Chanel glasses, the photo will illustrate the example given, have a model number and color code. For example, it can be spelled like this: 6041 (glass model) 538/S9 (color code). It is recommended to look at the details: for example, on the original there is a lowercase letter “c” before the color code, and the square between the digits of the serial number is smaller than the rest of the digital values.

Eyeglass lenses

Violations in glass production,which fakes sin, can cause serious harm to human he alth, as they can provoke ophthalmic diseases in those who wear glasses with defective lenses. The most important parameters that will help determine a quality brand model include:

• Uniform lens thickness. Only expensive modern equipment will make it possible to bore lenses with high quality. Therefore, when identifying a fake, you should pay attention to this factor: lenses with poor cuts and uneven glass thickness are definitely fake.
• The lens curvature is another additional feature. The anatomically correct concave shape, copying the shape of the human face, makes Chanel glasses comfortable. The original cannot have absolutely straight glasses.
• The correct tilt of the glasses, which will not distort the view and provides the necessary refraction of the sun's rays. Fakes, as a rule, do not have this parameter at all.
• The color of the lens should be uniform, extraneous shades and overflows are proof that this instance is an imitation.
• Lens-to-frame fit: No gaps or crevices in authentic samples.

Marking on eyeglass lenses

The serial number is laser engraved on the inside of the lens. It is a set of letters and numbers without spaces. The presence of a gap will give out an inauthentic model, which, in all other respects, can repeat genuine Chanel glasses. ask realserial numbers can be found on the official website chanel.com. Spectacle lenses must be laser-etched with the company logo. Moreover, if the glasses are one hundred percent authentic, you can see these inscriptions only at a certain angle, since laser application makes them discreet. A fake, on the contrary, simply “screams” about itself, using bright labels, trying to impersonate a famous brand.

Fasteners, bridge, locks and other structural elements

Special attention is required to the design details that make up Chanel glasses. How to distinguish a fake with their help?

1. 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.
2. All fasteners, manufactured using the latest equipment, have a reliable coating that is resistant to damage, it does not crumble or peel during operation.
3. The bridge of the original is made of a flexible but very durable material. During the fitting, it will not cause discomfort.

Packaging

Genuine Chanel glasses are supplied in branded packaging, which must contain a logo, barcode and other data about the product. All information about the model indicated on the packaging: serial number, color code, etc., must match the similar inscriptions engraved directly on the lenses and temples of the product. Any, even a small difference, betrays a fake.

Included with brandedcopies are sure to come with a fabric case for glasses, a case, a napkin with the brand's logo for glass care and a warranty card or passport with a clearly printed typographic text. The absence of one of the listed components indicates a fake.

By the way, the high price of the product is not an indicator that the glasses model is really a branded product. Trying to disguise an imitation as a well-known brand, counterfeiters often sell their surrogate at an unreasonably high price. Therefore, you should not believe either the price or the attractive appearance, but it is better to check all the details and make sure that what the seller is offering is authentic.
