And that’s the thing, isn’t it? When a brand gets super popular, the counterfeiters are gonna be all over it. Sneaky little guys! So, you wanna talk Chloe, you gotta talk about fakes. It’s just part of the conversation.
Now, I haven’t personally seen a *ton* of fake Chloe dresses floating around, but I guess it’s logical they’d exist. I mean, if they’re faking the bags (and those are often pricey!), why *wouldn’t* they fake the clothes? Makes sense, kinda.
And honestly, spotting a fake dress? Probably the same principles as spotting a fake bag. Quality is key, right? That “Decoding” thing in the search results mentions leather. Obvsly a dress wouldn’t be leather (unless it’s a *really* weird Chloe dress, lol), but the *feel* of the fabric is gonna be a dead giveaway. Is it cheap-y feeling? Scratchy? Does it look like it’ll fall apart after one wash? Then, yeah, red flag city.
I’m thinking about that Chloe Paddington bag description, where it says “soft and can be easily stretched.” That’s what you want in a real high-end garment. Quality materials that feel good against your skin. But I dunno, maybe the knockoff clothes are not very detailed, which makes it difficult to authenticate.
Plus, things like stitching, buttons, zippers… all that stuff. Real Chloe is gonna have impeccable construction. A fake? Probably gonna have loose threads hanging everywhere, crooked seams, and zippers that get stuck. It’s the little details that matter, ya know?
And the AliExpress thing? “CHLOÉ Foulard fringed textured-leather shoulder bag.” Fringe! Okay, so maybe a Chloe dress *would* have fringe. The point is, check the current collections. Are the details on the dress you’re looking at *actually* a part of Chloe’s aesthetic right now? Or did someone just slap some random embellishments on a piece of cheap fabric and call it “Chloe”?
