Can someone help me authenticate this Chloe Marcie? I just purchased it on ebay. The zipper on the bag is broken and doesn't stay connected (if that makes sense). I've included pictures of the zipper at the end. Also the bag seems very flattened - unlike the bags I've held in stores. Thanks for your help ladies!

sometimes photos aren't adequate and you have to resort to a side by side comparison, then the differences become night and day. the thread color from eBay is also much darker. I also think the suede color at interior is a little off. the and lastly the continuous stitching over the glazing detail as you pointed out, both my Drew(s) share this same feature. on its own, not so easy to distinguish... don't forget the texture and smell test when you receive it. just my two cents...

Hi Jmc3007- thank you so much for your input! I am new to this forum and also new to the Chloe Handbags line. I didn't feel right after I made my purchase so I thought I get a second opinion from the experts! I was just browsing on eBay and to my upsetting surprised, I found an identical listing with the exact same photos from a U.S seller! The seller I purchased from lives in Canada. How is that even possible? I am so upset right now. I feel like I've been scammed.

I purchased directly through Paypal as the seller offered me a lower deal. What do you think my chances are of getting a refund?

It might be that the seller stole the photos or use other bag but sends another. You never know :smile:)
But indeed, these days fakes have become better and better.
Lucky we have this forum.
Text us, I'm curious to see what bag you receive

Hi Corame - you are definitely right! The quality of fakes are becoming harder and harder to tell just by looking at pictures. I was on eBay and I found an identical listing by a diff seller! They were the same exact pictures! I just responded to my original post And included links of both listings. I feel like I've been scammed.

I purchased this bag directly through paypal because the seller was able to offer a better deal. What do you think my chances are
Of getting my money back? Am I screwed?

What has me concerned is the zipper on this purse and also the way that it collapses. Here are some pictures of the zipper area. The zipper sides are not attached when the purse is not zipped up. I can't tell if this just means the zipper is broken or what the problem may be.

It looks relatively normal when it is zipped up, but it doesn't close all the way.

PayPal offers protection as long as you didn't use friends and family as payment, follow their instructions to request return. Do a compare and contrast with both and proceed from there.

Thank you so much for your guidance! The eBay bag is scheduled to be delivered today. I will do a side by side comparison and will be posting those pictures to this thread. Thank you!

So Paypal recommends working it out with the seller first before opening a case. I reached out to the seller and she was extremely angry even to the point of threatening me. I'm not sure how to deal with this. She seems crazy and probably capable. Should I report her to the authorities?

She even had the audacity to say that my YSL bags are fake. There is no merit to that because I bought my bag from Nordstrom and my buyer already got that authenticated. She seems very spiteful for selling me a replica and is now caught.

The bag was delivered today and it is absolutely FAKE! I will say that it's a good replica but the fake bag feels cheap and the hardware is a lot more yellow than the real one. The threading is also off. Particularly the threading that is on the side so of the bags.
Even the dust bags and tags are different colors.

Right Purse: Nordstrom

Hi Carome,

Would you mind Authenticating this Chloe Drew Bag for me? It is on the Australian eBay.
The seller is guaranteeing the Authenticity and that it is still brand new with the retail tag 'Please note Returns will only be accepted if this tag remains attached' still attached, and a copy of the invoice is coming with purchase from CultStatus.com.au

I've asked for a picture of the Serial Number, inside the bag, but as the Auction is almost ending in 5 hours I don't know whether I will get it in time and be able to get a response on PurseForum before it ends.

I know I can go through PayPal and get money back if it is not authentic but was obviously hoping to save the hassle.

Thanks in advance :)

Oh, thats very haaard to tell. I dont see any clue picture with code hologram prints sides etc.
So if you want it, buy it and then you return it. Anyway the seller must pay for return shipping cost.
