Hi Ladies -


Please help me authenticate this - having serious doubts about it now - listing's ended and I just received it.
The zipper pulls are blank - however, my brown Edith same style is same - no Lampo or YKK stamped on it.
Main concern is the feel of the leather of this bag, the heatstamp "tag" inside the bag and date tag.


I can't post pics as my camera is not with me.


Item Name: Chloe Edith
Seller: Kenmore
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251527900342?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649




Thanks in advance.

Zippers don't have to be marked. Need to see the bag which you have received.

The bag in the photos is not authentic. Edith wasn't 'born' in 2005 - so that is a major issue.

Can you provide a photo of the datecode tag please?
Also - the barcoding/colour information on the circular Chloe card tag.

Thanks for your response! I couldn't sleep last night thinking about the purse. Anyways there is no date code. I mean I could not find any numbers stamped anywhere including the small "Made in Italy" tab. Even "Chloe" is not stamped on the front of the bag, though I am not sure if it is supposed to have the name on the diamond embossing. Also the round paper Chloe tag does not have any color code, it's blank at the back. Only the Saks tag has the color as Onyx. Also everyone is talking about this YKK zipper pull. I am not sure if I have any such thing. Please bear with my questions as I am new to Chloe

Hi

I'm not talking about YKK zipper pull. The zipper can be unmarked. If you are concerned, check the zipper - the cursor which moves along the zip itself. Look at that from the side, and there MAY be letters of YKK stamped on the part which is curved. The other option is actually on the back of the zipperhead - but with YKK it would normally be on that side view.

There MUST be a datecode inside that bag.

Chloe Paraty doesn't always have Chloe on the outside - so that isn't a problem.

I agree and that's what is making me so doubtful. But there is no date code anywhere to be found. I turned the purse inside out but there is no date code. The leather is soft and mooshy, the hardware is beautiful, the stitches are perfect. But there is no date code.

The only time you may get an item without a datecode is if it were a sample or a gift. I've had them - but I've not seen a produced item for retail without a datecode tag/datecode. We have seen some odd things - Chloe QC isn't the best -

Can you do me a favour? Can you load all of the photos you have of the item into a Photobucket Album (or similar) and post up the link. That way we have all of the photos in the one place?

Photo of the lining taken out. No leather tab with date code. Is it a very fine fake? Can I go to Saks and verify since seller has sent a receipt? This is so disturbing. I do love the purse already with its military strap

Yes Chloe dustbag is also included. Also I have been communicating with the seller and she has been extremely helpful. She bought it from ebay too. Keeping my fingers crossed. And thanks a ton Lescoy for responding to my paranoia. You are a lifesaver

Hi - based on the photos in the eBay listing this is authentic.

The hologram does detach - makes it questionable on a resale - but there isn't anything 'off' with this Marcie.

So happy and relieved to know that the bag is authentic, especially since this was the color that I always wanted...thanks Lescoy :)
