Pick first: Faye small
The Faye small is the first pick for a Chloe shoulder replica. Chloe showed the Faye in the spring 2016 collection. The small size runs about 9.4 in wide, 7.5 in tall, and 2.4 in deep. The shape is a front flap with a metal ring, a chain strap with leather woven through the links, and a calfskin body.
Three checks decide the grade.
Replica Chloe Bag Shoulder Cost Guide
- Leather. Smooth calfskin with a matte hand. Low grades show a plastic sheen and stay stiff after a week.
- Hardware. The ring and chain carry weight. Plated zinc feels light and pits in 3 to 6 months.
- Stitch. The original runs 8 to 10 stitches per inch on the strap. Wider spacing reads as a copy at arm's length.
Price band for the top tier: $180 to $320. Below $120, the flap edge curls and the ring color shifts to brass.

Options to compare
Drew small
Round flap, turn lock, chain strap. About 9 x 8 x 3 in. Fewer parts than the Faye, so copy supply holds up better. Price $150 to $260.
Tess small
Saddle body with a ring on the front and a leather shoulder strap. About 9.8 in wide. Strap hardware is the weak point on most copies. Price $190 to $340.
Marcie medium
Slouchy flap bag with a wide leather shoulder strap. Copy supply trails the Faye. Check the edge paint on the flap and the lining seam. Price $200 to $360.
Faye mini
Same layout as the small, about 7.5 in wide. Fits a phone, a card case, and keys. Strap drop is shorter. Price $160 to $280.
How these four compare
Strap drop decides daily use. Faye small and mini sit at 20 to 22 in, so they ride at the hip or crossbody. Drew sits near 21 in. Tess and Marcie use a leather strap with a longer drop, 22 to 24 in, and both bags carry more weight. Chain straps look closer to the original on the Faye and the Drew. Leather straps are easier to copy and harder to spot.
Hardware finish: light gold on the Faye and Drew, brass tone on the Marcie. Light gold plating fades first on a copy. Ask the seller for plating thickness or a close photo of the ring in daylight.
Before you pay
- Ask for photos of the flap edge, the back of the ring, the lining tag, and the strap in daylight.
- Ask for the weight in grams. A top tier Faye small runs 500 to 620 g with the chain.
- Confirm the size name in writing. Small and mini ship under one listing on many wholesale pages.
- Confirm the return window and who pays return shipping.
A replica is not the original. Resale value is zero, and brand repair will not service the bag. Buy the shape you will carry, not the label.
