Authenticate This CHLOÉ

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if I'm not doing this right. I recently came across the following purse at a resale store near me - and am blown away by the low price that they are asking for this pre-owned Chloe Paddington bag..... It's a resale store, so the prices are naturally lower than regular retail - however, I can't help but be VERY SUSPICIOUS that this is a fake.

Unfortunately the bag is on hold for another buyer, so I'm not able to get my hands on it to take actual pictures, until the other buyer decides not to buy it. All I have is this one picture (that the resale store posted) to go by. I can't help but notice that there are things that make me uncomfortable about it, such as the plastic-y look of the "leather", the squareness of the buckles, and the seams on the handles turned inwards. Oh, and the weird flopping/slumping thing that the handles are doing when they're in a resting position. Based on all the other pictures of Paddingtons that I have seen, the material the handles are made of looks too "soft"...not stiff enough close to the buckles that hold the handles to the bag.

Is there any way you could all give me your perspective? I appreciate any and all POVs.

Thanks!

I agree with you. Had a look at my paddy and the buckles aren't quite at such a sharp angle and the handles do look weird. If you are at all concerned, then best to give it a miss :)
 
Good morning! I am trying to buy my wife a Chloe bag for her birthday and would love any help you could all provide! I found these two on eBay and was hoping they are authentic, but I certainly have no way of knowing :). Thanks in advance!

Hi, I recently purchased this bright red Drew on eBay. Seller says this is authentic, a display item so it didn't come with dust bag. It comes with care card and the plastic tag for registration, but it doesn't have the round card. I registered the tag on official website but I don't think that guarantees authenticity. Can someone help me take a look? Thanks.:smile1:

Such dustbag definitely does not come with a genuine Chloe bag. I'd say it's a fake and i saw the auction on Allegro, too.
