Hello, I would be very grateful if you could please look at this listing and tell me if the bag is genuine - I really have doubts as I have never seen one like this and the buckle is odd, a piece missing out of it. If the bag is genuine, please could you tell me if the scales are an embossed pattern or real snakeskin ( I am looking for embossed really). Huge thanks and Happy Christmas to all :smile: Hope you get to see this @Roie55 and thank you!
looks good, buckle (paddington style) was used on the early marcies, looks to be embossed not real python.
 
Thank you! Sorry you’re not worried about the heat stamp at all? That’s what I’ve been nervous about cuz it doesn’t have “made in Italy” and seems a bit high but I’ve never had a Chloe before so I’m usure
hi, the 'made in' moved to a different location in later years, the price will depend on condition and black always fetches more. Yours seems priced fine. Its just what your willing to pay.

I could also just be overthinking the heatstamp location because of paranoia tho. If you think it’s fine then that’s good enough for me tbh
 
Oh no I worded that wrong, high as in the “Chloe” doesn’t look completely centered to me. Like it’s a little closer to the top?
i don't believe they aim for centering at all, i have photos that are too low and some too high, some deep emboss some so faint you wouldn't say its there. They are consistently inconsistent. its frustrating but that's why i cant authenticate all Chloes, there are too many variations.

That’s good news then if they are generally inconsistent. I’m assuming then the edge paint being exposed is just due to age then as well
 
@Roie55 so I actually consulted a leather worker about the red stain because from my research Chloé did not typically have red edge paint for their black paddingtons and it felt off.

The leather worker told me that the bag had definitely been dyed black by its previous owner although it is actual leather it was probably originally a light color dyed red to black or a red color dyed black.

That being said as long as the rest of the bag is on par with Chloe’s standards it is most likely authentic just poorly dyed by its previous owner IMG_8550.jpeg
