There are several ways to authenticate a CHANEL bag &one of those is by the zipper. Heavy usage areas of a bag will typically use a Lampo zipper stamped on the top or underside of the zipper. Smaller areas such as pockets will typically use Eclair, DMC, OPTI DMC, or EP (Eclair Prym) zippers. Newer bags all use a combination of CHANEL, Lampo & YKK zippers. If you have an item with a YKK zipper, it tells you the item is quality!! Eclair, EP, DMC, OPTI DMC will be found in older vintage bags!

What about for clothing? I found a dress with a BST engraved zipper and can’t find any information on that brand?

@devoette Good day. Do you mean a Chanel piece with that zipper? Im familiar with bags and not clothes unfortunately. What are you trying to find out? Quality or authenticity?

@aggiesrags hi! Yes, sorry to clarify I found a Chanel dress at a consignment store and the zipper is engraved with BST. I’ve not been able to find any other Chanel pieces- usually it’s YKK or Riri so wondering about the authenticity of the piece.

@devoette Its difficult to say but there are other ways to check for authenticity in clothing. The zipper does not seem familiar but it would depend on how old it is. Check the labels, tags & quality of work which will help make that determination.
