Fashion writer and personal stylist Rowan McKinnon shows you how to tell whether you are buying a genuine. Hi girls, I was recently gifted a Chloe bag and I'm trying to figure out if it's authentic or not. I've searched high and low and can't find a serial number (but I do know this bag is a few years old so that may be the reason).

However, not all bags have the same sequence. Also, the serial number stamp should conform tothe same quality standards of the logo stamps. They should be clear, crisp and for the most partcentered within the leather backing. The authentic Chloe serial number on the left is an example of one that deviates from thexx-xx-xx sequence. This handbag was made in Bulgaria, and this is most likely why the sequence differs. Although with Chloe, it is hard to pinpoint exactly what they are doing, so this is based onspeculation. The fake Chloe label (left) does not even have serial number. And the stamp that was used toreplace the serial number is crooked regardless. This is an example of the range in quality and detailsyou will encounter when attempting to weed out the fake Chloe bags. live[ebay]Chloe bags by condition New Chloe handbags Pre-Owned Chloe handbags Chloe bags by Model Chloe Paddington bags Chloe Paraty bags Chloe Marcie bags Chloe Heloise bags Chloe Bay bags Chloe Saskia bags Chloe Edith bags Chloe Betty bags Chloe Silverado bags Chloe by style Chloe shoulder bags Chloe satchel bags Chloe clutch bags Chloe cross body bags Chloe hobo bags Chloe tote bags Chloe messenger bags Fake Chloe [1] Fake Chloe (labels) [2] Fake Chloe (leather) [3] Fake Chloe (hardware) [4] Fake Chloe (serial #'s) [5] |

From Paraty, Marcie to Drew, every other year, Chloé manages to introduce one or two highly distinguishable, commercially successful and yet 'very Chloé' bags. While I am more of a fan on its apparel side, I do agree that over the past few decades, Chloé has always stayed true to itself, owning that romantic ornate whimsy, without being overshadowed by its big name creative directors or swayed by overarching trends of the fashion industry.
As soon as these bags are proven successful, replicas start to emerge. I haven't seen any good replicas of Paraty, Marcie, Drew in person but I have seen the photos of some nicely done fake Marcie bags that I was pretty impressed. I have to admit that without side-by-side detailed comparison, I couldn't tell if the bag is real or fake based on just photos. Nevertheless, it's quite costly to knock off these bags because of their unique constructions. Paraty's oversized piping, Marcie's tonal saddle stitching, and Drew's ultra spongy leather and gold pin turn lock all take quite some attention to detail and investment to make them right.
A very recent replica Chloé Georgia wallet that has fake date code and hologram sticker. The format of the date code is wrong.
However, for many Chloé enthusiasts, Chloé's date code system stays consistently (or deliberately) confusing. For those who have seen enough volumes of these bags, they would probably already establish a relatively consistent tracking system. However, we should all try to share less information until these models are discontinued. But, please remember, Chloé's date code is consistent in its own way. The following are some commonly seen date code formats of recent Chloé styles.
