can you tell me the name? a bit off topic sorry but i have a tan paddy thats minging, seller very kindly covered up all dirt with tan shoe polish which promptly came off all over my clothes, don't you just love ebay

If you are interested - further photos - 'Chloe' heatstamp inside the bag, the one on the padlock. Also close up of the plate - taken straight on - not angled. Seems to have wear on the screws - and its showing silvertone - which I don't like. However another photo may help. I'd also suggest a photo of the side buckles to check the engraving. This hardware looks a little red in tone - so it could be the lighting - daylight photo would be good. Also would be good to see into those handles.

thanks for that, i have asked for more piccies on this one. Hardcore Harlet said she has bought from them in past and has been authentic. Do some 05 have the brown dustbag opposed to cream???

No I didn't say that sorry- you must have confused me with someone else It's important to remember that many bags are consigned and therefore each bag must be judged on its own merits. It's encouraging if someone has bought from and ebay member and had a good experience and authentic bag but anyone can be caught out with a fake so I'd listen to Lescoy's advice- she's so good at assessing the authenticity of these

Oh my god you have bought an Or baby paddy! What happened with the Creme one? Is it the sort of distressed pebbled looking silver gold one with the brass lock? I want to see updated collection pics!

Good advice btw
