I've seen this before...

eBay Australia: Chloe' Paddington Bag (item 190061699957, end time 18-Dec-06 16:44:54 AEDST)

This one has copied pics...

eBay Australia: Genuine Chloe Paddington in Whiskey Colour (item 250060088733, end time 18-Dec-06 20:35:15 AEDST)

Both are way overpriced! Greedy sellers!

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! People are soooooo silly! Who spends that much money without knowing if what they are buying is real?

Another rip off...

I nearly fell for this one eBay.com.sg: ANTHRACITE* COWHIDE**CHLOE** PADDINGTON*SILVER LOCK*LG (item 270064584361 end time Dec 13, 2006 01:30:54 SGT)

I thought I better research here at TPF and found out that laperle.com sells only fake..wow, the seller even claim the Chloe website referred her husband to la perle. Read her response to questions asked about authenticity and how "indignant" she sounded

Oh geez! I really hate ebay's new policy to hide bidder's names... There's every chance there's a dummy bidder involved. How can someone buy so blindly without doing their research!!!

Oh geez! Can't believe people would spend that much without research. This seller is so low. She outright lied..."I only sell 100% authentic bags". What a joke!

Now, ladies, I know you are going to be soooo jealous that your Paddy doesn't look like this one, but try to control yourselves. This seller is selling all of her lovely Paddies! Hurry up and buy them all!!!

Oh no, am so sad now. I'm going to cry, because chances are the poor person who bought that bag was some well-meaning hubby who thought he was treating his wife to a genuine paddy for xmas . I'm so angry at sellers ripping people off like this it makes me sick .


^^^ haha Rinstar311, thanks for the link to the pink paddy you are so good at spotting the fakes, I was literally this close to buying that bag, do you know how hard it is to buy an AUTHENTIC pink paddy...with upside down lock as well!!?
I love the way she name drops NAP -'I know of net-a-porter thus i only trade real bags' ...right....

WHOA with the humongous font!!!! That's so everyone can see what kind of bag it is from 22 miles away!!!!

Yves... don't you like how she says she "knows of net-a-porter", not "bought this bag from net-a-porter"... maybe so if you just read the auction fast, you think she actually bought it from there... tricky tricky!!
