Hi Saz123, Isn't this ebay member pinchrosemary one of the one's that lescoy & some of the tpf members from the US have said that she only sell's authentic?

[saz123]

May well be, but for me I would rather have all the pics in front of me to give a true judgment on any bag, as though I was buying it myself, the last thing I would want for anyone myself included is to buy a fake.

Other than the leather swatch, are there any other red flags? I want to be able to spot a fake! Thanks for your help.

Hi fryegirl from one pic you cant really tell much and generally the pictures that you require change according to the style of the bag. A good starting point would be the reference library, there you will see authenication points on a wide variety of bag styles. The zip pulls, padlock (on paddys), the heatstamps, the leather, the date codes and hangtags are usually good indicators!! Hope this helps.

How can people just straight-up LIE like that? I am so naive sometimes!

Too good to be true?

I am loving this colour.

I have just received this message from the seller:

Hello, now I can send you no photos because the pocket with me in the store is not at home. I have a Seconhand store, I can do mornings from 14 o'clock still photos. The pocket is an original, my customer Has bought them in a Nobly boutique (authorisierter Chloe Händler)
Regards Michael


My God...
What do you think, ladies...?
...And many thanks, saz123, for your previous help.

To buy a real Chloé in eBay is so difficult...

True! I got caught out & bought a fake a while back just before i found this website & am still waiting for paypal to come to a decision, cos as well as it being a fake the padlock was broken & the seller had the cheek to accuse me of breaking it!!
My hubby won't let me get another bag unless i get refunded by paypal, but if i do i think i'll need to get him to part wiv more cash!!
Now if i see a bag i'm interested in i'd definitely get it checked out by you very kind experienced members of tpf!! Cheers Kelly

I am by no means a silverado expert... but I say the leather looks plasticky. Wait for another opinion though.

Is this too good to be true?
