I couldn’t believe my eyes when I was scrolling through Instagram and saw this Chloe Betty Bag! I had my heart set on this particular style, so naturally my fingers starting itching as I clicked on the post and started reading the price. It was too good to be true – only a third of the RRP. I knew I’d be taking a gamble if I went ahead and bought it, so I had to think about it.
So I did what any savvy shopper should do and started researching. I read through reviews and checked to see if anyone else had bought this particular bag from that seller. I wanted to make sure that this bag wasn’t a knock-off or fake, you know? I discovered some handy tips on how to spot a fake Chloe Betty Bag.
First off, look out for the positioning of the logo, or ‘Chloe’ signature. This should be exactly the same on both the bag and the dust bag. Pay close attention to the hardware and stitching—which should all be high-quality and look impressive. Also, look out for any spelling mistakes or misstitching around the bag. The fabric should be thick and durable, such as leather or canvas, and not cheap-looking, thin material.
The trick with this particular knock-off was that it looked very nearly identical to a genuine Chloe Betty Bag. It was only when I held the material in my hands that I realized it was a dud. It felt flimsy and light in comparison to a designer bag.
From all this investigating I had done, I realized that this seemed too good to be true, so decided against it. Money-saving is great, but it’s important not to compromise on quality. You know me, I hate having to replace something straight away because it’s not up to standard.
So I set out to find the real thing, and after several online shops and plentyof debate, I finally found the real thing and clicked to purchase. I’m really excited to get it, and it’s worth the money! I can’t wait to carry it out and show it off.
After this experience, I’m armed and ready to spot a fake Chloe Betty Bag, and I’m sure you are too after all the things we’ve looked into! I’m certainly glad to know the differences now, it really saved me from getting scammed. Now, I’m always trying to give my best buddy a good deal, so if you ever spot a Chloe Betty bag at a suspiciously low price—you know what to lookout for.
