Hi,
I am excited because that's my very first thread I am starting (was always hesitant to do that) and I'm not sure whether it belongs here or rather to the Chloé reference forum.:shame:
Anyway, here is my question: I am on a severe hunt for an authentic Quilted Medium Bay, and I know they are very hard to find on ebay right now. What makes it even more difficult is that I have very little clue about what to look at and how to tell the real ones from the fakes.
Now I have noticed a few things
and I would like you ladies, who own these bags to confirm or correct me:
I've seen a contrast coloured rimming of the fobs or handles or maybe other parts, too, mostly dark blue, which seem to be missing at most other bags of this type offered on ebay. Would this be a sure tell-sign?
Also, the oval brass plate seems to be rather shiny instead of the very dull ones often seen on ebay. Another tell-sign?
Then of course the leather quality, but that's diffucult to judge depending on how the bags are photographed
I would really appreciate your input and I hope I did nothing wrong with opening this thread (like giving away information to possible fakers):ninja:

hope this is your first thread of many.
However, Lescoy from the Authenticate thread pointed out that as we don't know who is watching the forum, we ought to be careful of trolls (possible fakers, etc.) who might snoop out tricks... so probably it's better not to be overly specific. It was may be my mistake to open this thread.
