RascalCat - Hi there - just checked the listing and the additional photos. Looks ok so far, but need to see the 'Chloe' heatstamp inside the bag, the serial/date tag inside the bag, the side buckles and a clearer photo of the plate taken straight on and not angled. Hopefully the seller will oblige.

unlimitedlou - Hi there - the bag from the photos appears fine. As you say - dependent on price - and if you want this bag - you could opt to go for it. I would imagine it could be repaired and it may be worth checking the 'All About Heloise' thread - it may give information - i.e., if anyone else has had a problem, and how they fixed it - here's the link -

All About Heloise!!!!

There are photos - so may not be much information - but if you do check the Reference Library - I know there have been threads on the handles of the leather Heloise - which do break - so its definitely worth checking information in the Reference Library.

echo_23 - Hi there - just checked the listing. There are a couple of concerns for me on this Silverado - IMO this is fake

nprotundo - Hi there - this looks ok - but I'd like to see the side buckles on this chocolate paddy - also a straight on photo of the plate - taken straight on - not angled. I'd also like to see the padlock on its own - not attached to the bag. There is some chipping on the hardware - which is showing silvertone - and the hardware is 100% Brass - so the chipping/wear should show as a duller Brass effect rather than silvertone - but it could be the photos - and I'd like to check. I know that wear is expected - but its important to check it -

cdnbgirl - Hi there - just checked the listing. The photos are rather dark - and its not really showing me the inner heatstamp or the inner zipper pull. However, the bag as a whole looks good - it would have been good to have checked these additional details - but the seller is reputable and a couple of weeks ago had a super Pewter Python Silverado - which was authentic - and I really don't doubt the authenticity of this one - looks good

isun83 - Hi there - just checked the listing. Looks ok from the photos provided - I'd like to see the reverse of the circular hangtag showing barcoding/colour information - that way we can tie up with the serial/date tag - and it would be a good double check. Hopefully the seller will oblige.

Thanks Lescoy - the seller will send more photos tonight. THe one thing she cannot find though is the serial number tag? Do all chloe paddys come with this?

pilivisisko - Hi there - the listing had ended by the time I looked. I'm not sure if you won. Neither am I convinced this is an authentic TW item - tag looks off IMO. If you did win - I'd suggest you post on this thread - and someone may be able to help you.

Just post a new thread/question for Thomas Wylde bag -

RascalCat - Hi there - the paddy should have a serial/date tag. Now the seller may not actually know what she is looking for - lot of people get confused by this. It should be in the inner pocket - if its not there - the only other place it could be would be at a seam - but on the paddy - it should be in that inner pocket. Some 'Chloe' don't have the serial/date tag - but the paddy isn't one of them. So if you tell her its a pretty small piece of leather and it should be in that inner pocket - she may find it

[RascalCat]

^^ OK thanks lescoy, have emailed seller with the info.

I can't offer an opinion on the authenticity of this particular bag as I'm not an expert, but this seller is known and respected on the YSL forum for selling authentic bags.
