Very good idea Vlad!

Please can you tell us what has happenened/where we can access threads like 'Authentic Stores', 'Unauthentic Stores' and 'List of Bad/Unreliable eBay Sellers'? etc.

Thanks in advance!

This bag looks different than other's I've seen IRL, but I'm NOT an expert on Chloe!
Is it just well loved and broken in?

Thanks in advance!

Also??
I know this one is genuine, but is it really this orange in person or is it the photos? I haven't seen this color IRL.
Thanks!

I am 99.9% certain that this is a fake. I know the fonts used can vary on Chloe bags, but I have never seen one with such an elongated o or e.

Also, IMO the price is a bit on the low side.

I think the tan is quite orangey; IMO, not as orangey as the most orange looking photos, but slightly lighter and more orange than the browner looking shots of the interior.

Colour can be slightly subjective, though, so I'd wait for other people's opinions.

Here are this seller's negatives and neutrals (the Goofbay site seems to have gone slightly dippy

; so you will probably have to scroll down quite a bit!)

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much!!!!

to a thread or website that shows what to look for when authenticating Chloe bags?

Atelliernaff is a FANTASTIC sight that has turned me into a pro when it comes to authenticating Balenciagas but other than obviously bad leather and stiffness I dont know all the things to look for with Chloe bags.

I dont want to have to post EVERY time I see a bag I like so I'm wondering if there is a "one stop shopping" place when it comes to how to figure out a fake vs real Chloe.

Thanks!

Does anyone know why the Medium Paddy Satchels at Aloha Rag are only $1398? I thought the prices went up from $1480 to $1560?

Hard to tell from the pix...but the fact that the price is ridiculously low and its the seller's first item for sale are huge red flags!!

dr. twiggers · May 14th, 2006, 06:24 PM

Any idea if it's authentic or not??

Hi morgan - the pics aren't good enough to get a decent look at most details, but IMO it's fake - the leather is too stiff, uniform and DARK to be a brown paddy - it should be a little lighter with more reddish tones. The hardware is too shiny and the price is just too good too....

BalenciagaLove · May 15th, 2006, 12:02 AM

^^^ I so agree. That is definitely not the right color for Chocolate Paddy. The other weird thing is that the serial number looks a bit off. The type seems too small for the 6 digit, but it is an older paddy so I may be mistaken.

SpecialK · May 15th, 2006, 09:31 AM

Is this real? looks good to me but low price.
