Materials
An easy telltale signs of a fake Chloé bag is low quality leather, as Chloé uses only the best quality. The leather should be supple and thick, in vibrant colors with the hue evenly spread throughout the entire bag.
Serial Number
All Chloé bags will have either a date code or a serial number located on a leather tab, usually sewn to a seam inside a pocket. The font of this number should be thoroughly checked, as the typeface changes depending on the style and the season that the bag was made.
Hologram

There should be a hologram sticker present on the interior leather tab. Note that on pre-loved bags, this sticker has sometimes come off over time, depending on how nicely the bag has been taken care of. The hologram sticker will have a series of letters and numbers that will match the hologram sticker located on the authenticity card.
Hardware
The hardware on authentic Chloé bags should be heavy and of good quality. It should be affixed to the leather body in such a way that is it sturdy and will not break off. Most of the bags use brushed golden brass hardware, though newer styles use shiny gold hardware.
Zippers
Chloé only uses YKK branded zippers.
Stitching
As with all high-end luxury items, the stitching should be straight and even. There should be no evidence of glue on the seams.

Country of Origin
While most Chloé bags are manufactured in Italy, the brand also has factories in France, Romania and Spain. As with all logos, it is important to check the font and typeface of the lettering.
