Authenticate This Chloe

[waddleod]

Lescoy here at some more pics. I didn't notice the NAP sticker at first and that should be a good sign. Comparing everything to another Chloe shoe I own I think they're OK, but I am certainly no expert and am always paranoid!

The seller's FB was public when I first bid on these and IIRC she had a pretty high FB and only a couple negatives which were for shipping or something...I remember thinking the negs weren't TOO concerning.

Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.

AnnJon - Hi there - just checked the listing. Would need further photos. Close up of the inner zipper pull. Also the heatsamp on the small coin purse. I'd also like to see the inner heatstamp again, taken straight on and not angled - want to see the whole stamp, including the Made In Italy. No dustbag according to the listing - I'd ask the seller if she has the Care Cards and possibly the circular hangtags, although she doesn't mention them. Hopefully the seller will oblige with the additional photos.

AnnJon - Hi there - again this one needs additional photos. I'm posting a link to the list of photos we recommend for authentication purposes -

In Order to Authenticate Your Bag, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!!!

Hopefully the seller will oblige.

nishag670 - Hi there - its helpful if you post additional photos to include the original auction listing - saves having to trawl back to check - as we need to view in conjunction.

The hangtag shows 7ES and this is an 04 07 bag from the inner tag. So that doesn't correlate, however, there is an addition of the 07H on the top of the tag - so I'm ok with accepting that - although I'm not quite sure why Chloe is doing this with some - but not all tags.

This bag appears fine - but please do wait for more opinion.

I am 99.999% positive that this is a fake, but the lister was adamant that she "would never buy or sell a fake bag." I just want to confirm that this looks wrong to the experts as well. My concerns are: the dustbag is too yellow (I have some dustbags that came from real, albeit discount, sources like Yoox, and I know there are two types, but this type is wrong- wondering if they yellow with age and I am unaware?) The pulls are not "thick" enough- they do not have the heft of my other Bays (or my boots for that matter.) I did not think both stickers for fabric content and bag designation were on the inside of the chloe round hang tag. The aspect ratio of the typeface of the word "Chloe" looks too wide and round on the pull tabs, the interior pockert looks like the edges have been painted/sealed poorly (causing paint to be on the leather) the zippers do not come together properly, and the brass plate does not have quite the same quality of imprintation as my other bags (it is less-defined)....anyway, can someone else confirm my fears before I address the seller? The original ebay listing was: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300316572366 Here are the pics: http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=CIMG2492.jpg http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=CIMG2505.jpg http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=CIMG2504.jpg http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=CIMG2503.jpg http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=CIMG2501.jpg http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=CIMG2501.jpg http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=CIMG2497.jpg http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=CIMG2494.jpg Thanks so much-

schloe - Hi there - just had a look - and this is fake and its not even a good fake. The hangtags show an 05 bag - and the inner tag an 07. There a lot of things which point to this being fake - its not even borderline - hopefully you'll be able to get a refund via EBay/PayPal.

jrjs237 - Hi there - just checked the listing. This one - need more photos - not seeing the detailing I need. I want to see engraving on the hardware (handles) and also the reverse of the circular hangtag, showing barcoding/colour information, care cards and also the dustbag. Hopefully the seller will oblige.

Juda - Hi there - I'm having difficulty with the link - so I've not been able to check this one yet.

As for fakes and Bonanzle. Personally I've seen a number of fakes listed - but they do appear to remove them if and when they are reported.

waddleod - Hi there - I think these are probably fine. I hope you have fun wearing them.

Thanks for this- I had my first correspondence with the seller last night. She insisted that "i am sorry, but i bought it online and believe it to be a real bag" and "also, when i purchased it, it HAD ATTACHED the tags from Neiman's. did you not get the care cards??? they are inside the pocket."

I notified her that fakes can be purchased with dust bags, care cards, hang tags, etc. Haven't received a response...

Again, thanks so much for your (and hardcore_harlot's) help with this-

[schloe]

Hey, just wanted to let you guys know that the seller has agreed to accept return of the bag!

Thanks Lescoy! I have now e-mailed these questions to the seller and hopefully the seller will send me photos urgent. And if so, I would be very happy if you or someone else here at the Forum has the time to look at the photos before the auction ends... Many thanks and best regards!
