Okay, so Chanel Ballet flats are essentially the epitome of quiet luxury shoes. Which is why the fakes are everywhere. When it comes to real vs fake, if you’re ever trying to figure out whether a pair is real, or you’re helping a friend who’s “this close” to buying something sus online, here’s what to actually look for.
The CC logo on the toe? It should look clean, neat, and just… right.
On real pairs, the little Cs are perfectly even and stitched beautifully.
If the logo looks chunky, crooked, or like the stitching is in a bad mood, nope. Move on.

Chanel uses super soft, buttery leather. Like, the kind that literally feels expensive.
If the shoe feels plasticky, stiff, or unusually shiny, that’s usually a sign of fake flat energy.

Real Chanel flats have that “I’ve been crafted by someone who cares” vibe.
The stitching is tiny and perfect, the bow looks neat, and the shape feels structured.
If anything feels lopsided, loose, or like it came out of a rushed factory shift, it’s a red flag.

The CHANEL logo inside the shoe should look chic and thin, not thick, glittery, or too gold.
If the inside branding looks like it’s yelling instead of whispering, that’s usually a fake.
