I only had to pay for the shipping fee, as Chloé Customer Relations says the bag is under warranty, thus the repair was free. Also, I'm sure the bag was authentic (I bought it from HGBAGS)... Chloé Customer Relations never questioned it. I did attach the Chloe Carte D'Authenticite card along in case if they questioned my bag. Despite the initial shock from , I'm a very happy Chloe bag owner again!

Thanks for the update! I am so happy that Chloe fixed the bag (& quickly too!) - even if you purchased it from somewhere else! That is amazing customer service! A lot of companies would not do that if you bought it elsewhere! I am so happy for you!

Love a great happy ending! Enjoy you paraty!

When I tried calling the nearest Chloe boutique for me, which is in LA. For some reason, the phone number is no longer in service?! 8450 Melrose Place Los Angeles, CA 90069-5308 (323) 602-0000 I also went to Chloe online and submitted my request on 9/19/2011. I received this email response in return, but have not heard anything back since... **************** Thank you for your interest in Chloé.

I don't know why the L.A. number wasn't working. I just walked by the Chloe boutique, here in L.A., around 3-4 weeks ago and it was still there. I went by to look at bags, but had forgotten that they're closed on Sunday.

The handbags weren't in the window, but I figured that they might have removed them and locked them up until their regular business hours, as Melrose Place is a very secluded street. The sales people at that boutique have been great.

I've read a story of another member reira08 purchasing a potentially fake paraty from hgbags and it had a really strong leather smell. I would be curious if your bag was auth because I'm very interested in buying a paraty from E :)

Could you please attach more pics of the paraty bought from hgbags? As mentioned above I'm very interested in buying a paraty from then so more input would be very helpful! (although I have no doubt about the authenticity :) )
