hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I'm considering this bag on eBay...could anyone please comment whether you think this is the real deal or a fake? I don't know enough about Chloe to tell but am dying to get my first Chloe...the buyer assures me that it's authentic and does have a return policy...thanks in advance for your help.

Hi ldldb, and welcome to PF! I'm still quite a newbie here myself too
I checked the link and unfortunately it is a fake, the leather and the hardware look different than the genuine one :/

..Here's by the way a thread for chloe authenticity questions where they should be posted;
Authenticate This Chloe - you can find loads of useful info there :o)

[ldldb]

thanks so much sonja for your info. eBay can be a scary place :-(

[+sonja+]

You're right, there are too many scammers and liers on bay, most of the bags are fakes, even some pricier ones too

....So you can never be too careful there - heres one more helpful thread;

Paddington Authentification Tips - Add to the List!

Hi girls, I'm so thankful I found this forum! All of y'all have been so sweet and it's been wonderful sharing with you guys. It's nice that we all have a common interest and can relate to eachothers obsessions Jag, the forum rocks after you became Mod!! Thanks Audrey, I'm a small girl that loves big bags, hehe And you already know your chocolate is AMAZING! I love your pics hmwe46, it would be awesome to have a west coast Chloe Day! How fun!!

[Audrey]

^ AbbYY you are so sweet!!! Thank you! I love TPF but Chloe has the best designer forum hands down!! Everyone here is so supportive and helpful. I've always loved collecting purses but it's so much more fun when you have people to share your experiences with!

Group hug! Group hug!

Ooops, paddy's all got in the way

Giggle: I was meeting up with co-workers that I had never met IRL this week.
One of them asked how he would know me and I said I'd be the small girl with
the ginormous bag (hadn;t decided whihc one to wear yet).

So I walked into the meeting, about a hundred folks, and this guy walks right
up to me and says "Hi!".

I was like, "How did you pick me out so fast?!"

He laughed and pointed at Blanc Paddy and rolled his eyes!!

When I did my preso I ended my slide deck with that pic of Blanc sitting in
my chair with the tag line "will work for shoes and handbags". Everyone was
cracking up!!

[Audrey]

^ Lol hmwe46!!! We should all get tees that say "Will work for Paddys" or something.

[+sonja+]

Hmwe I'm sure non of those co-workers will ever forget the lovely blanc!

Audrey I love the idea of tees!

[Audrey]

OMGGGG! Hmwe46 my jaw dropped looking at those beautiful pictures of your paddys! The look so cute by the pool! Chocolate did steal the show but EVERY single one looks PERFECT!

[hmwe46]

Thank you!!

So when do we get our T's?!?! Make mine organic cotton, or hemp better yet!!

I think the back should also read, "shallow obessing strongly encouraged"!!
