I'm not an official authenticator, but I'll say that this faye looks suspect. It will be good if you can get a clearer, hd pic of the logo and hardware though. Does it come with any dustbag, authenticity card, box and etc.? Any pics of those too?

I've uploaded more pictures. Seller doesn't have dust bag.

Based on the last picture, I think the logo is odd. For one, there seems to be 9 stitches under 'Chloe', rather than 8. Also, the 'o' in Chloe doesn't align with the rest of the letters, which shouldn't occur.

Personally, I wouldn't purchase this bag. But note that the picture becomes blurred when I zoom in, so there's room for error.

Also, it is very rare for authentic bags to not have dustbags. Not having boxes is understandable (overweight luggage, buying from a consignment site and etc.), but I can't comprehend why would anyone throw away a dustbag for a satchel that costs over a thousand dollars.

You seem to know a whole lot about Chloe bags. Would you perhaps look at my post? I'm debating whether to return the Faye, as I'm unsure whether it's a replica or not.

Thank you so much. Seller is willing to sell it for $725 canadian dollars. She was bit upset when I asked for better quality pictures too. She said she forgot her dust bag in the hotel room when she was travelling last time.
Does Chloe come with authenticity card? I asked for that 3 times but no ans from her side.
Unfortunately I haven't seen Chole Faye in person so I don't have anything to compare.

I suppose that could happen, but the price is surprisingly low for a bag that seems in pretty good condition.

Yes, Chloe definitely hands out authenticity cards along with their bags :)

I'm afraid I'm not an official authenticator and I usually don't go off the site to check out pictures!

Also, I'm unsure if whoever you purchase it from will be willing to accept a return just because people have suspicions on purseforum. If you wish to return it, my advice is to seek out a paid authenticator, whose words/certificates can actually hold up in a dispute :)
