Hi there,
i have a tag which is in english, french and chinese or japan (not sure)?
you say there is only description in english and french. do i have to think, the bag is a fake. Also on the bottom tag, the coulour is missin ( there only is a vaste space there),
thanks

My care card has chinese/japanese (?) on the third tri-fold.

However my round hang tags all have two languages and always the color.

I recently saw two hang tags on ebay without the color listed. They both claimed to be 01-05 bags, I have no idea if that's authentic or not. Great question!

Can any of the more experienced gals chime in??

Also, lilith, can you post pics of your bag??

The care card comes in english, french and japanese (the Chinese are not such avid consumers of designer goods *yet*, but that day will come soon).

The round tags do *not* always have both french and english. The Paddys I got from LVR both have only french (we surely cannot be so presumptuous to imagine english must be on everything!). I posted this in post #57 of this thread on page 4. *All* my Paddys have the colour listed on the round tag where the bag code is.

Btw, shouldn't this discussion belong to the authentication thread?

OMG I AM SOOOO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW!!
THe serial tag in my 06 Blanc bag is upside down!!! Like when I open the interior pocket, the serial number is upside down facing me unlike the serial numbers I see here!!! I have to turn the bag around in order to have the numbers face up! Here is the link where I got my bag:

eBay: Chloe Paddingtion Handbag in IVORY 100% auth NWT (item 190041971488 end time Oct-17-06 20:37:06 PDT)

it looks authentic to me but..the fact that the tag is upside down REALLY distresses me. any opinions or thoughts is greatly greatly appreciated.

i am freaked out beyond belief right now.

Just a question for you ladies - not sure if this is in the right thread. Does Aloha Rah sell authentic Chloe bags? I found a Paddington that I want for Christmas, and it's $260 cheaper than Nordstroms. TIA!

Please post this in the Authenticate This Chloe thread. This thread is getting messy and no longer serving its original purpose!

Thanks Audrey!!

[confused101]

thank you for all your tips. i'm still very confused. i just purchased this "authentic" chloe bag and i still doubt if it is real or not. this bag's round tag does not have any number below the serial number (scanner line), after the word "of", also the serial number inside the interior pocket is 02-05-53 (hyphenated) and in black leather. the bag slouches so i think it is real leather. please help. i'm getting really obsessed with this bag.
