Sorry this is not enough photos. Please see previous posts on all the areas photos are needed and post.
Hello. I'd be really grateful for your opinion on this Paddington I've just bought. Major alarm bells are the keyhole in the padlock is upside down - does this always mean fake? Also the engraving on the buckle, the accent on the E looks wrong. Can take more pictures if needed.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Hi guys, may I ask for some help please?
I met a very nice lady and absoluteley trust her. she wanted to sell me her Chloé Paraty medium. The bag was beautiful and she even had a receipt from a second hand shop. but i think, the shop sold her a fake. she sureley didnt know it.
i already have 3 paraty purses and all of them have serial numbers. all of them have lining too.
maybe im wrong - and i cant provide photos either - but these 3 points made me think it is a fake:
1.) the bag didnt have a serial number. instead there was a leather patch which had a "C" on it. (such a leather patch where i usually find the serial numbers)
2.) the purse didnt have a lining.
3.) on the inside of the purse you can see metal plates which holds the handles. there was no lining to hides this plates.
maybe anybody can help me with information? or a link to a site where i can look ?
sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand it anyway.
thanks, Marion

I'll need a lot more photos, the base of the padlock, clearly showing the 2 screws. Both side buckles, the leather tags attached to the zip. The inside scoop of the handles. plus the handle straps themselves. Thr metal plate where the padlock attaches - that Chloe engraving there. ALL must be infocus and straight on - thanks
You can check / search in this thread for other Paratys. compare them. Is she asking you to check authenticity for her?? but wont let you take photos? I wouldnt buy one myself without lining. There might be a small metal plate where the handles join - i can feel through the lining, its small. Others with the C have been fakes
thank you so much.
oh no, she didnt ask me to check the purse for her. she didnt even know that i would do that. and i dont have photos because i didnt ask her. she is such a nice person and i saw the receipt from the store where she bought the bag. i think they sold a fake to her and try to help her getting her money back from the store. she doesnt know about that. she paid a lot for the purse and it is not fair, that she got a fake. (if it is, what i realy believe)
i will write her an email and ask her to take photos and send them to me.
thank you very much for your help
its me again - she sent me the pictures from the shop where she bought the bag and a few pictures she took today. sorry for the different colours - the pictures from today are taken with bad light. maybe you can take a look, dear Roie55?

Its fake - good luck getting refund - hope it works.
If they fight it you can use authenticate4U (facebook message is quickest) they are usually about UK$9 for an official one.
hi, can I see the screws on the 2 round toggles that hang off the front also the long strap should have a buckle - can i see the engraving, and the paper hang tag info. thanks
Thank you so much for your help. I thought so, but great to have it confirmed! Back it goes, I'll get a refund.
