• How can you tell if a Chloé tote bag is real?

  1 Answer
  1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024

  To tell if a Chloé tote bag is real, check the inside for a date code stamp. The first two digits of this code correspond to the month or season of manufacturing, and the second two tell you the year of production. Finally, the last digits represent the style number. Cross-reference this information with data shared on trusted online resources, looking for any discrepancies. For example, your piece may be counterfeit if the style number doesn't correspond to your particular bag or isn't found. Similarly, if Chloé didn't produce that bag during the month and year stamped in your bag, your tote may not be real. When in doubt, ask a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert to inspect your bag and give their opinion on its authenticity. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Chloé tote bags.
