Replica Chanel Quilted Handbag for under $50

**Update: Please read the comments below regarding the quality.  Please be cautious when ordering!**
I came across this Chanel dupe yesterday when I shopping on Loehmann's online and couldn't believe it was real leather.  The price is $49.99 plus 25% off and free shipping on everything through 11/28. Total is $37.49. It comes in 3 colors (red, black and silver). The silver looks more like a gold-ish bronze online.  I would stick with the classic colors of Chanel and go for the red or black.  The website doesn't state what the dimensions are but you can always call and ask. 


It has the main components of a real Chanel flap: quilted leather, leather interwoven chain, turnlock flap closure (no CC logo).  I haven't seen this in real life so I can't attest to the quality.  I did notice however that the stitching of the quilted leather lines up nicely on the front of the red and black but on the back pocket of the silver one, it's a bit un-even (not terrible).  The interior has a zipper which to my knowledge the authentic Chanel flaps do not have. We are talking about $40 so who really cares what it looks like inside. I wanted to pass this on for anyone who is interested in an affordable version of the Chanel flap purse that is real leather : )

Has anyone seen this in person?
