Today we present the latest Chanel 25 by Shebag, in black crinkled calfskin.

We will take apart the entire bag and analyze its core craftsmanship.

The Chanel 25 is constructed primarily with leather that undergoes leather skiving — a critical step that most mid-to-low-end replicas fail to implement.

At Shebag’s workshop, the leather is precisely skived to a thickness of 0.8mm,

giving it both structure and flexibility to hold the bag’s shape

while creating a sleek silhouette with a gently inward-curving profile.

On the front panel of the bag,

the authentic piece features a smooth U‑shaped curve.

Starting from both sides of the metal turn lock at the top center,

the lines extend gently and naturally downward,

creating a tapered curve at the corners.

The quilting on the 25 bag shows a collapsed, wrinkled effect,

yet the outline remains sharp and defined.

The red circles in the image below highlight this quilted collapse effect.

The red circles in the image above mark the large quilts on the front of the bag.

Only with leather skived down to 0.8mm thickness can the wrinkles appear natural and even.

On the back of the bag, it features a fanned-out silhouette.

Starting from the top handle, the curves follow the line of an open folding fan,

spreading gradually from narrow to wide.

Next are images showing the material preparation and production process of the glazed crinkled calfskin.

Top-tier replica factories are not sweatshops. Sweatshop conditions can never produce perfect details. Workers at Shebag receive excellent treatment, with wages above the industry average.
