Hey! Thanks so much for the quick answer. I will leave some real photos. They look real to me, but I would appreciate your opinion!

no worries! Yes, these look fine to me. As always, best to get a second opinion but if you’re happy that the website you bought them from is legitimate, you should be fine

Hi guys need some help please i picked up this bag in the charity shop for a £1 it’s in really good condition and really well made a little too well made the only thing is I can’t find it on the internet or the authentication code in the bag I have had a good look this bag stinks to high heaven of leather it’s overpowering after 10 minutes the stitching is consistent and fluent and neat inside and has the mobile phone pocket with a trim over pocket the only numbers I could find was on the two-snappers you use to close the bag . Can anyone give me any help on this I have attached some pics thanks

hello, sorry I missed this first time round. I’m not familiar with this style I’m afraid. It’s possible it’s pre-2005, in which case the usual details we’d look to authenticate get a little thrown out. I don’t particularly like the heat stamp or the screws but without knowing more about it, I wouldn’t be able to give an accurate answer, apologies. I’m not sure which paid services are still around but there might be one that can help you. @Roie55 who does everyone use these days? It’s been a while!

Thank you for your help! They seem fine to me also and I would hate to help the fake market. I had some doubts because I did my research in advance about the site and there were different opinions regarding the authenticity of some of the products.
Once again, thank you for your time!

@Daniellemonogram hello, from the photos uploaded previously, this Drew doesn’t look right to me. BUT, can you please supply the same pics taken in natural daylight for a better view - leather, brass detailing and other things can look all kinds of fake under artificial light, so I’d like to double check!

does the website translate into English? I couldn’t find it! If you can direct me I’d be happy to take a look at them more closely. If you have any doubts at all you should contact them and ask them to give reassurance on their official supply status.

Actually, it does have multiple versions, down below it has a little flag and it shows all the connected sites. This is the version for english https://www.efootwear.eu/see_by_chloe.html?q=see+by+chloe

hey! The missing date tag isn’t an indicator on its own, there were a few bags that slipped through the net without one - acknowledged by Chloe. Can you take a fuller picture in natural daylight of the uneven inside oval leather you mentioned? Just want to see it in more detail. If you could get it as flat as possible (also make sure the heatstamp is visible in full again). There are 2 things that lead me to believe this bag could be ok 1) this particular Edith style wasn’t that popular and therefore didn’t get replicated as much, 2) the stitching - I cant recall seeing such accurate stitching on a fake, it’s very hard to pull off.

Hello, I took these photos inside tonight. I can post daylight photos tomorrow if you still need them. Note the left side of the oval leather: stitching not even at the edges, and the leather cut isn't smooth around the edges. Thanks again!

Hello, I thought I posted this earlier, but couldn’t find it. Hopefully this isn’t a duplicate. Here are two photos. Note the left side where the stitching isn’t even along the edge, and the leather isn’t cut perfectly smooth. Overall, the bag’s leather feels luxurious and the stitching is even. If you still need daylight photos let me know. Thanks again!

Hello, thank you! These fotos where made in daylight. I hope these will help you

hello again - so along with the missing date tags there were also some known slight quality issues in this era - the inner oval panel and stitching could again be due to this. They are not so far off to say they are definitely due to being a replica. And the outer stitching is on point. Based on all the images you’ve posted I’m still inclined to say this one is ok - Edith is one of my favourite styles, I own and have loved and let go many of them! If it is fake it is one of the very best I’ve seen. I can’t be 100% definitive without seeing it in person so I would definitely recommend getting a second opinion. Sorry I can’t be more help!

hello - much better! A lot of this looks good. However, I’m not familiar with the date tag style as it is suggesting it’s very recent (2018) and I’m an old school kinda girl and I haven’t seen too many fake Drews so I’m not sure how close they’re getting. Therefore I’m afraid I will not be able to give you a firm yes and I would recommend seeking a second opinion. I’m not sure which paid authentication services are most popular these days, you will probably find some validated suggestions if you search the forum. Sorry I can’t be more help!

THANK YOU! and totally understand about not revealing your methods - that makes total sense!! you are the best

 

[styleformiles]

much better - these look ok to me. I’m not sure if anyone else is around but always best to wait for a second opinion. I’m not familiar with the website but if you get them, you can go ahead and post more pics when they turn up to make sure they’ve sent the ones in the pics!

ps i do trust the website!! they usually sell high-end furniture, and i trust them to rigorous authentication
