Hi Roie, thanks so much for helping me. After doing some research, I am worried that my bag may be a high quality replica. I can only add 12 photos so I'll follow up with more photos. I bought my bag from a Japanese seller on ebay. I can return the bag within 14 days.

My concerns are:
- the hardware color seems too yellow compared to ones I've seen. the other worry is that the buckles on the sides are not the same color as the padlock and rest of hardware. you can really see the difference in image_1863..........the bag is from 2007, there could have been some oxidation, we don know what conditions it has been kept in or used, these factors can have affected the hardware, chloe hardware is very tough and durable, it lasts years, you can see there are no chips or peeling. im not sure anymore on this colour detail, 2nd opinion needed, but still no red flag from me.
- the leather seems too pebbly? or rather, the pebbling seems too large in my eyes but the leather itself is very soft and feels very high quality..... Chloe leather is very pebbly on some of its styles, they use superior premium leather.

- there is no key for the lock with this bag, so i'm unable to provide photos. i don't see this as an inherent red flag but i'm not sure.

- the stitching in all of the black bags I have seen were either black or a very dark grey. Difficult to show color accuracy with the lighting, but the stitching does look more white or a grey white but I'm glad to hear there are some black leather with white stitching

- date code font seems a bit weird because the numbers are not completely straight......... this has me not so much red flags as i have wierder stuff with other paddingtons from many years. it could be the factory location stamping this way. i have this kind of stamp on another year, then another from this same year with the spaces and hyphens - so DEFINITELY a second opinion needed

- there no hologram on the back of the date code,.......... they didnt do the holograms until - after 2008?? 2009??


Thanks again Roie!
link to seller please, links links links

Hi Roie55 and all,

Would you mind looking at the below Paddington pics please? I bought it years ago on EBay and never used. Went to get authenticated to sell- first business said they didn’t know and refunded my money, next one said it is not authentic due to
“ inconsistent fonts” and “ inconsistent hardware”.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, looks ok so far, pls provide photos same as described in my many other posts, don't need that angle of the zip, but underside would help.
If you want to sell you'll need paid authentication. Wait for my result then go with paid. It's in my signature.
