Paddington, Woody, Marcie, Faye, Drew and Nile are the Chloé bags most often faked, and the brand's own markers have changed by era, with code tabs, holograms from about 2008 and, since 2023, a Digital ID on some labels. A Chloé authentication compares the heat stamp and its accent, the stitching, the hardware and the right era markers with verified references, because an early Paddington and a reissue are built differently.

What we check on Chloé
How to tell a real Chloé from a fake
The Chloé stamp is the first tell: a genuine accent is a short, fine slanted stroke, where copies often show a round blob. Era markers like the serial tab, hologram or Digital ID only have to agree with the bag.
01
Chloé stamp and accent
A short, fine slanted accent over the final e, a light strike, and clear gaps between the words of the MADE IN line.
02
Serial tab
The code on the interior leather tab: a shallow, crisp impression that sits square to the tab edge, not a deep, tilted one.
03
Padlock engraving
On the Paddington, fine even strokes on a baseline parallel to the barrel. A line that climbs to the right is a warning sign.
04
Hologram and card
On many bags, a hologram sticker on the tab and a matching registration card. Older bags never had them, and stickers can peel off.
05
Digital ID label
On some pieces from Spring/Summer 2023, a scannable Digital ID label, read as one checkpoint and never as a verdict.
06
Hardware
Tone, weight and engraving of padlocks, buckles, rings and chains, and whether the finishes agree with each other.
07
Stitching
Even stitches of one length, matched to the model and era.
08
Leather and lining
Natural grain variation with no repeating pattern, edge finishing and interior seams.

No public one. Chloé does not publish what its codes mean and the formats changed over the years, so a number cannot be decoded into a verdict, and fakes carry plausible strings. We check how the code is pressed, shallow and square to the tab edge on genuine bags, and whether it fits the model and era.
Not necessarily. Some Chloé bags come with a hologram sticker and a plastic registration card, used alongside the serial tab, but older bags never had them and stickers can peel off over time. Holograms and cards are copied too. We authenticate the bag itself.
Some Chloé pieces from Spring/Summer 2023 on carry a Digital ID label that opens product details when scanned. It is one checkpoint: older items have none, and a label can be copied and does not prove the item it is sewn into. We check it together with the rest of the piece.
Start with the padlock. On a genuine Paddington the engraved name is cut in fine, even strokes on a baseline parallel to the barrel, while the copies we compare run heavier and climb to the right. Then check the serial stamp, which should be shallow, crisp and square to the tab edge.
Not in every detail. Chloé reissued the Paddington for Fall 2025, while most resale listings are from the original run that began in 2005. We compare each bag with references from its own period, so details like the hardware finish are judged against the right version.
Yes. Woody slides, Lauren espadrilles and other Chloé shoes are authenticated from photos of both sides, the insoles, the outsoles, the stamps inside and the box.
For the most accurate and quick authentication process, we advise you to upload clear photos of the areas visible when clicking 'Upload photos' on this page. We quickly determine if the uploaded photo meets our criteria. If your photos do not meet the criteria, you will receive a request for more and/or clearer photos.
