Here are a couple of photos of my blanc. If you would like more, pm me your email address, as I don't know how to watermark yet!
Have you thought about taking it into a Chloe store to ask their advice?
I hope you get an answer soon!
I have a Chloe paddy, however, I never trust online sites for anything. I automatically assume it's fake because I don't want to purchase it and end up carrying a fake (not to mention all that money spent on it). The blanc paddy you're after looks real but then again, replicas these days have gotten really good. Also, it's hard to tell from the pictures.
Good luck with your decision and I wish you the best!
I have an 06 blanc and it looks real to me. If its a fake its a real good one. I think its like you said processing..I think leather can differ from bag to bag on authentic paddies.
I have a blanc Paddy from 06. I got it from store, I was lucky enough to get that from lists of ppl waiting for it.
I think yours is good, authentic. Dont panic. Sometime it might just the quality control issue. Keep my finger crossed for you.
If you need anything let me know.
Don't worry, your blanc paddy is authentic. I have an authentic 06 blanc and the back of the lock looks similar to yours. Yes Chloe is very inconsistent but people say it adds to their vintagey look. Not EVERY bag is exactly the same, which I kinda like Enjoy your new bag, it's beautiful!
