An Ebay seller is trying to pass off a counterfeit chloe paraty as a custom made item. Where do people come up with this stuff?

I'm 100% positive it's a typical made in china fake, as I was duped by one seller with an identical black one once upon a time. . (who used stolen pics in the listing but that's a whole diff story).

Just thought I'd share. I find it both amusing and pathetic.

Oh.... my..... God!! I truly thought I had heard/read them all, but that one takes the cake! I've just reported her and her "customized crap" to Ebay. Hopefully it (and the seller) will be removed before someone buys into that story and buys the bag.

that's funny!

Why would you pay 1K for a 'replica' custom made - you can find the real deal on ebay for the same price. But of course, we are all idiots and we would fall for this crap.

^ Here is what the listing said:

I was in love with the Chloe Paraty, and instead of shelling out the two thousand dollars, I took multiple photos of the bag to a leather craftsman and had an exact replica of the bag custom made for $970, with supple pebbled leather imported from Italy. He did a shockingly amazing job. I carefully examined every detail of the custom made bag and found zero difference between it and the authentic chloe in stores. I couldn't find a single variation and a specialist would not be able to either. It's literally identical to the point where a woman on the train told me how jealous she was to see that someone had the bag she'd been craving forever. I've only used this bag a couple of times - it is in perfect condition. I hate to part with it but I need the money! :( Email me for more photos of this unique, gorgeous bag, or any questions you have. I ship world-wide.

You have to give the seller credit for not saying it was authentic...

Crazy, replica is replica and there re so many details we can tell authentic or not. Some ppl just cannot get it.They thought they're wearing a replca but no one can tell about that... come on...

last month, I saw a lady with super nice dressing ( designer jeans, Tory Burch flats, well make up) is carrying Chloe Paddington Classic. From he shape I could tell it's fake right away. I asked her :" Woww, Chloe"? She said : "Yes, it is" , I asked: " It must be expensive"? ( because I feel bad for her,if she doesnt know fakes or real), guess what I was told? " No, I bought it in NY...and no one could even tell, it is exactly same" ....

Yes, she knew it fake and so proud of it. I wish I didn't talk to her in earlier....
