These tips are already posted here, but I made some graphics using obvious fakes to help new members see exactly what we're talking about.

^ Also uniform pebbly leather, bag does not "puddle," shiny hardware

^Fake brushing effect on hardware, too golden, too shiny.

And here is some additional info about fake care cards and dustbags!

^Fake care card, thin paper, paper isn't "grainy" Chloe marker is too far up, care booklet isn't folded evenly, entire thing is too long.

^ Fake dustbag, looks like a white pillow case someone wrote "Chloe" on.

^ Authentic tags, box, and dustbag. Notice the dusbag is made of a soft creamy coloured cotton with crisp "Chloe" writing. The care card is clean cut, and made of relatively thick paper with a "graininess" to it. The box also shows the "graininess" of the paper I am talking about.

Hello,

I had bought a not new paddington. I'm not sure, if ist is an authentic. It is a 2005 paddington. Can you tell me the right weight of a paddington (middle size 2005) and the right weight of the padlock alone?

Thank you!

Hello again,

one question more :-)

Is the weight a sign for authentic?

Thank you again!!

hmwe46 · Mar 9th, 2007, 05:22 PM

Good question! Please post pics of your bag on the Auth Thread so we can help you.

An unladden med paddy weighs 3.5 lbs and IIRC the padlock weighs 6 oz.

well i am just thinking logically, but i presume different leather will have different weight as every skin is physically different in its structure and thickness -otherwise as fabric-- so i guess only approximate weight of the paddy can be estimated. or am i wrong?

Hi, i know what you mean with the square connector, but i think you should post a bigger pic - as i don't think that brand new members can see exactly what you mean. maybe a comparison fake/authentical would show it better.

In reality the leather of the bag isn't so glossy.

The link below is for the comparison of padlocks, which I have intended posting all week. I was hoping that the "Fugly Monstrosity" may have had its photo shoot ????? Watch this space ~ it may have already entered "Landfill Treasures".
