Thank you Lescoy, I tried enlarging the photo but it becomes too blurry. You're right, they are not just the letters C h l o e. It looks like someone engraved a rectangle first, and then the letters are written inside that rectangle.

QUOTE=Lescoy;25219723]The photo isn't enlarging - can you repost. I'm assuming that it has a stamp mark - i.e., not just the lettering, and that is what zoomed at me yesterday - as well as a few other issues. [/QUOTE]

Yes - thats what I thought - and that is a major red flag I'm afraid. It looks like a 'branding iron' mark.:graucho:
 
Yes, and if you noticed ... They didn't show this on the listing,
Pity you didn't ask them for more pics,
But at least you will know for next time,
Wish you good luck :)

I didn't think about requesting more pictures until it was already on its way. I haven't run into a counterfeit issue before - which is pretty impressive especially after 9 years on eBay. Good news is that the seller was apologetic and refunded me right away. :)
 
Definitely fake :sad:

I find it strange that counterfeiters almost always get the padlock key hole the wrong way up. The padlock is only the most iconic thing about this bag :shrugs:

It's great that they don't get the padlock right- makes the authentication process a little easier :) But, yes, you're totally right that the padlock is the most iconic piece. I appreciate your reply!!

I'm so glad you had a smooth refund ,
Many people go through hell,
I'm glad it wasn't like that:)
And that is amazing in 9 years.
Hope it continues that way :touchwood:
 
Thanks! The price would have been good, although with the leather flap has scratches, but I'll let this one pass. Lucky for me to have you around this time! Thanks a lot!

Dimensions are 16.5" wide, 10.5" tall, and about 6" deep!

Hi - thats not a Large Edith - thats the Regular. I need to go back and check the photos -
OK - want a clear straight on/face forward shot of the inner zipper pull to check the engraving - and the right way up please -
its not clear on the photos you have posted, and I want to see it.
 
Hi ladies, can you help me authenticate this please? I hope my pictures are enough and right. TIA!!! ;)
