bag*mad*bags - they do have trials ongoing - but, like everything else, it does take time.

tireebabe - I think, in an ideal world, none of the design houses would really want their bags/clothes/accessories on eBay - but unfortunately for some its the only way they can get them At the end of the day - whether its bought in a boutique or bought on eBay - if its authentic then Chloe, Balenciaga etc., shouldn't really care - as at least people are out their buying, wearing and promoting their labels. I think - if we can get rid of the majority of fakes - then ok a lot of people won't be wearing designer bags - but TBH - don't you just baulk when you see that lime green paddy - or candy pink one?

reesiesmummy - Hi there - just checked the listing. Now I can't see the inner heatstamp or the serial/date tag - but TBH I really don't have to - this is a beautiful 05 Bleu Nuit paddy - the leather looks gorgeous and smooshy - and its a lovely bag (and I'm not a paddy girl). I think if you want a paddy then this is a stunning one Great colour, and the 05 leather is the best. Seller is a lovely tPFer

umbriel - Hi there - just checked the listings.

The first one - the Silverado - looks good from the photos provided. As a double check I'd like to see the serial/date tag inside the bag and also the reverse of the circular hangtag just to confirm those details. Hopefully the seller will oblige.

The second one - the Edith - in Jade. Looks ok so far. Would like to see the 'Chloe' heatstamp inside the bag and the inner zipper pull just to check those areas - and again, hopefully the seller will oblige.

Hi, the seller has added the extra pics to the listing, could someone take a look for me?
thanks

pixie01 - This looks ok - though no photo of the 'Chloe' heatstamp inside the bag - can't remember I might have seen that actually Pity there aren't any hangtags - but it looks ok from what I can see.

nprotundo - I need to go back and check the original link (its good if you can include it in any re-post).

Thank you for posting these photos here. You did send these to me via PM - and I did not respond yesterday, as I wanted someone else to comment on this bag - not just me.


I have just rechecked the listing for this paddy. The listing photos are poor in terms of colour - but the additional ones are better. This is an 06 and IMO is Creme - its a bit more apparent on the additional photos - as the listing is showing this bag in quite a pinkish light. It appears OK from what I can see - but as is advised, please do wait for at least one other opinion.

As an aside - there is $2,000 PayPal Protection on the listing - so you would be covered should there be any problem.

aalinne_72 - Hi there - just had a look at the photos. There are many things which are wrong with this paddy I'm afraid - its unquestionably fake

aalinne_72 - Hi there - this looks like a webstock photo - if this is from a website or an auction listing you need more photos. If its from a website particularly - I'd be keen to know which one - as there are a multitude of websites using stock photos and selling fakes. Also it is quite common for listings on eBay to show webstock images.

Having seen the extra pic this one looks very nice to me. Good luck if you decide to go for it- I feel it's authentic

[sianii11]

Good morning Lescoy, hope you are well. Thanks for getting back to me last night but someone snagged the Whiskey

And so i plod on...I'm on the case for more photos and there's really not much here, but could you have a quick look at this one? Thank you!

hardcore_harlot - thank you - I just can't PM with opinion when no-one else has commented - its just not good policy I'm afraid.

[hardcore_harlot]

Lescoy- I'll be interested to see the outcome of the Muscade (?) listed as Tan paddy. There is always so much more to learn. Just goes to prove that the more photos we have the better- you are so wonderful with these! I think the thumbs up icon just winked at me- definately time for coffee!!!!
