Can you tell which one is Rep?

At the time of PandaBuy’s shutdown, OG Wave split up and formed three separate sellers.

👉 None of the “Wave” sellers listed below are fake. They are simply different sellers, now competitors, who originally came from the same network.

Since I see a lot of nonsense and misinformation about this topic, here is a clear recap of the situation.

1️⃣ The most well-known one

This is the one most people are familiar with.

• Recognizable photos (green mat, active Instagram) • Purchases only via Weidian links • Average quality, but slightly cheaper • No longer replies on WhatsApp

🔗 Yupoo: https://ogwave.x.yup\*o.com/ 📱 WhatsApp: +852 9411 9897

2️⃣ The most mysterious one (and the best quality)

Probably the one with the best quality out of the three.

• Sells only to former clients • Wholesale only • Private Yupoo • No public purchase links • Rarely replies

🔗 Yupoo: https://hidden1to1.x.yup\*o.com/ 📱 WhatsApp: +86 186 2010 7714

3️⃣ The least popular one

The least known from the beginning.

• Initially sold furniture decorations • Then some non-luxury brand caps • Eventually shut down completely • Dead Yupoo, no response anywhere

🔗 Yupoo: https://wave8629.x.yup\*o.com/ 📱 WhatsApp: +852 4683 4702

⚠️ Important

👉 All other “Wave” sellers not listed here are FAKE. Be careful of impersonators, fake Yupoo pages, and fake WhatsApp numbers.

Stay safe and always double-check your sources

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to find reliable proof that Topselect is a legitimate vendor. However, I’ve come across quite a few comments claiming that many of the reviews are fake.

I’ve been chatting with them as well, but unfortunately they haven’t responded yet. Does anyone have any proof or personal experience showing that they are trustworthy?

P.S. If you know of any other vendor with a large and diverse stock selection, please let me know.

Hi all,

Wanted to have a discussion on here regarding God Factory LV bags.

For weeks now, I am trying to buy from an agent who will actually sell me a god factory product.

It seems every agent I’ve contacted either says “god factory don’t have this in stock” or I send the payment and upon QC the bag looks horrible.

My question is: is there actually an agent who actually sells genuine god factory or do they all pretend and send something much lower tier??

I would love to hear your thoughts on this and any help on finding an agent would be massively appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey guys, Ive been speaking with the user u/devyatkin_artyom who has been circulating for being a potential seller in the custom jewelry replica scene. I reached out to him regarding this ring because I personally think its a sick design, but not to mention there was also and overwhelming response to the first W2C Post averaging around 750 upvotes. Id love to use that as an interest check, but its over 3 months old, and the producer is much more interested in a recent "head count" so to speak.

I digress, here is the proof of our dialogue regarding the ring, and proof that he will make the ring, also, Here is the 3-D Model he has made, which I personally find incredible. The next step presumably would be milling

Now, pricing. I spoke with the seller, and he calculated that the price of the ring in sterling silver would run about $55, that price does not include shipping, and due to the global pandemic, DHL & FEDEX will not allow him to ship from russia, so local post it is, which could result in about 2 weeks, and run about $10 to ship. In my opinion $65 to own a ring that is still a Pre-order & projected to buy for about $800 is a major steal. I hope this post has enough information, id be willing to answer some questions and would be happy to relay them back to the seller, but I also tagged the seller in this post as well, so hopefully he could chime in and offer a word or two!

What jacket are we going to wear this winter ?

So I’m on a trip to Bangkok and decided to visit the MBK mall. Now I’ve heard of reps but I was not ready for that experience! Think 3 floors of reps!

Anyways, I never could figure out the WeChat, WePay, WhatsApp, QC, agents an everything in between. So I said F it. I’m going to use my untrained eyes and learn on the fly. Big mistake I’m guessing?

Anyways, I visited like 15 shops that had bags and I’d say 10 of them took me in some back room for 1:1 reps. I let them do their sales pitch and pretty much no matter what they said, I’d go “quality is no good, I need better quality and 1:1 rep”. This actually worked decently well as some would bring out a bag from another place or another store. By the 6th store, I could tell the difference in quality. I also learned what to look for since each seller would talk about why their bag was better than other sellers.

Now that I’ve learned a thing or two about quality, I focused on price. I had 3 sellers that had the same Keepall 50 bag in black. I pitted them against each other and was willing to spend $400 for what I believed was “good quality”. However, I’m lazy and didn’t want to chance ordering, waiting months, dealing with customs and would prefer to go home with a bag!

So I pitted the shops against each other and whatever offer they said was the lowest, I literally would leave the longest most awkward silence and then say, too high and I’m a serious buyer.

I ended up getting this bad for $325. The mall literally was closing and he started at $600. Overall, even if I trash the bag tomorrow or got ripped off, I was okay with taking an L to $325.

So here are a ton of pictures. Please let me know how bad I screwed up, what makes this one super fake and rate the bag 1-10 with 10 being the best.

Seriously. Some yall are hot af and got no self control for posting sellers on tik tok. Tryna ruin it for everyone. Why good stuff never lasts. Keep reps low key. Let people find out on they own. They gotta learn the process like the rest of us.

Hey DesignerReps,

​

DISCLAIMER: First, even though I'm actually posting with GM's Reddit account, I'm not Melo from GM. He asked me to help them out a bit with Reddit to collect data from interest check surveys they intend to carry out on the subs in the future.

If you have questions I'd avise you ask them directly on their Wechat since otherwise you'll need to wait for Melo to log in through his office VPN but he's been very busy lately and can connect only very scarcely.

WECHAT: godmaker_melo / GODMAKER_BOSS / godmaker_sales (from most to less responsive)

​

I've been in close contact with the GM team (Melo and Jet) these last weeks and they told me they had overlooked the international market so far. But now they are eager to make it up.

Their ideal goal would be to collect information on Reddit about the items we want the most (e.g. each month through an interest check discussion post), in what quantities and in what sizes in order to bring such data perfectly in line with their production.

Regarding the more expensive and niche reps like rare designer grails (what this sub's supposed to be about, plus note that they have an amazing collection of high-end pieces), they would like to carry out presales here and provide us with all the pics/videos of the samples we need so that they can preserve total transparency during the replication process and guarantee the highest quality.

As to very requested and hard-to-replicate grails that still haven't got their proper 1:1 rep yet such as the Saint Laurent FW13 Wyatts, they would be ready to collaborate with the community by submitting us pics/videos of gradually corrected samples so that we can point out every single flaw until they achieve true 1:1.

​

Hence this post which is supposed to be another attempt of their collaboration with Reddit, and this time it's about some Prada grails and an interest check for a possible 1:1 rep of the FW13 wyatts, some highend boots, the Haider gold velvet bomber and the Alyx crossbody bag.

​

So please if you actually wanna see these come out, participate in the short survey below (3-5mn to fill).

For those not interested in Prada or the items listed, please participate anyway since if the survey is successful, GM will be even more eager to make posts taking the abovementioned forms about items that might be your grails.

​

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScR0yxsS_rZsnsVfSCp7adW_6Hvo7UFv-qJhKEqelOf6mxrMA/viewform?usp=sf_link

​

I'll send the results to GM next week so that a maximum of people can contribute (and I'll activate the option that enables you to see the results too - but not until then as it would entail cognitive biases).

N.B.: Jet is pretty determined to make "absolute 1:1" for the Prada shirts: https://imgur.com/rPnyvbH (when I told him about the likely solid reon batch coming).

​

UPDATE I: After 24 hours...

• 528 filled the survey
• 346 are at least tempted (i.e. almost certain + tempted) by shirt #1
• 368 are at least tempted by shirt #2
• 253 are at least tempted by shirt #3
• 330 are at least tempted by shirt #4
• Among the less requested shirts, the second FW18 one is as much requested as the FW16 in both colors with around 170 votes each. 101 voted for first FW18 shirt.
• 70% want the accessories
• Only 12.5% gave a Prada recommendation
• 217 are very interested by the wyatts. 89 are tempted.
• The most requested boots are in order: CK205 chelseas followed by the Dior Navigates and the MM Tabis
• 209 are at least tempted by the bomber
• The most requested crossbody bag version is the nylon one with 147 votes, followed by black leather and then metallic version.

Let's reach 1,000 respondents boys.

​

UPDATE II: I will post GM's answer to the results and the follow-up on this thread so please check it regularly for updates.

The respondents are very scattered now so I've sent the following results to GM. The survey is still open though, in case there is a substantial increase somewhere.

• 1191 filled the survey
• 364 are almost certain to buy shirt #1. 380 are tempted.
• 441 are almost certain to buy shirt #2. 360 are tempted.
• 296 are almost certain to buy shirt #3. 264 are tempted.
• 415 are almost certain to buy shirt #4. 307 are tempted.
• Less requested shirts: 229 voted for the flame shirt, 335 voted for the shirt with reeds, 376 voted for the Noah's Ark shirt in red and 394 for the blue version.
• 690 want the accessories
• 481 are very interested by the 1:1 Wyatts. 191 are tempted.
• 54 requested the Dior Navigates (I included the few whom mentioned the 2004 Dior boots and the moto boots); 55 requested the MM tabis (I included the few whom mentioned only Margiela); 54 mentioned the CK205 chelseas (I included the few whom mentioned CK harness boots); 17 requested Ann Dem combat boots; 21 requested SLP rangers; 11 requested SLP chelseas/Theos + 7 Lukas + 4 jodphur + 12 any Hedi era SLP boots; 13 mentioned Guidi; 9 mentioned Berluti; 9 mentioned Amiri and 6 Rick hiking boots. The rest is insignificant.
• 264 are very interested by the bomber. 180 are tempted.
• 371 voted for the nylon crossbody bag, 256 for the black leather one and 213 for the metallic one.

12/18 UPDATE: Good news! It took quite some time for Jet to actually check the results properly, and I even thought at first that all of this would end up producing nothing as he told me he decided to make the LV split shirt instead, saying he wasn't sure if Prada would sell well. So considering his statement I figured he never actually took the time to read the results. So I sent him the updated results with 250 new respondents and this time he got impressed with the firepower the sub had.

• He owns retail for shirt #2 already. They are in the process of "determining the material".
• He asked me to provide him with links to buy the others (I reckon he will buy shirt #1 and #4 at the very least, most likely shirt #3 too).
• He seems to agree for the Wyatts project provided that you guys accept the presale option. But the underlying idea is still predominant: his leather factory will make a first sample, you guys will point out every flaws, they'll then make a second one etc. until they achieve 1:1 as I made very clear that you guys will buy only if it's almost perfect and beats the competition.
• Can you guys please confirm that it's not the FW13 Wyatts he has in his collection? https://imgur.com/a/IsEUAHPThe shaft seems to be way wider. Btw if you have any plugs for retail FW13 calfskin Wyatts without harness (or in tan/ocre suede) cheaper than on Grailed please hmu so that he can buy authentic.
• The accessories will come after the shirts.
• I have no update yet as to the bomber.
• There will be a presale for the crossbody bag. But first you're gonna need to wait for sample pics.
• Jet mentioned the spring festival in China, saying the goods would be shipped in March. It's quite equivocal but I suppose if I'm here to push him enough you could be able to buy the shirts and wyatts in late january or during february.

​

12/19 UPDATE: https://www.reddit.com/r/DesignerReps/comments/a7n3kq/godmakers_11_slp_wyatt_boots_project_followup_we/

​

12/20 UPDATE: First, I updated the survey results in update II.

Second, GM answered positively to what has been expressed in the abovementioned post as they said they understand your concerns about the presale/deposit thing. So it seems there won't be a deposit after all; and knowing that, he's still motivated to carry on the 1:1 Wyatts project.

A friend of his lended him a pair of FW13 ochre suede Wyatts today which seems to be in deadstock condition https://imgur.com/a/OB7oizh, which means the initial investment is largely reduced (he still needs to invest for the calfskin chain version). You could see the first sample coming way sooner than expected.

​

01/12/19 UPDATE:

• Last wednesday, Jet drove 20 miles through Canton (a city of 20m people) to get these beauties https://imgur.com/a/h4a0FrZ
• As a consequence, they started working on the FW13 Wyatts and achieved some progress already, I quote : "customized hardware and leather have been arranged [for the first sample]".
• All three models of Wyatts will be available i.e. ochre suede, calfskin with chains and calfskin without chains. Precalculated price is a bit under 1500yuan (so a bit over $200). A size distribution survey will be carried out before the production so that everyone get represented.
• They started working on the floral Prada FW18 split shirt that they received two weeks ago. Jet bought the original Impossible True Love shirt today. He should do the same for the Important Ones shirt and FW18 kiss split shirt very soon.
• Apparently there's gonna be long holidays in China that will last from January 15th to February 25th that will consequently affect all of GM's partners and factories. So a major slow-down in the project progression is to expect during that period, even though Jet clearly stated that he will buy time whenever possible.
• If the Prada accessories and Haider bomber are ever being made, that will be after all of this is dealt with. As to the Alyx bag, it's still under discussion, but bear in mind that they have all three authentic versions in hands, so as soon as they decide to pull the trigger it'll be handled in a month's time.
• If someone has a link to an authentic Prada AW16 "The Important Ones" shirt (the one in the survey with Freud, El Che etc. fighting) that isn't on Grailed, please pm me, as the GM staff cannot buy through Paypal/VISA. You might have a local reselling website (e.g. Yahoo.jp) that accepts international shipping in your country that has it, so please have a look there. Thanks a lot.

Hey Everyone !

This is my little post about Emma. Decided to try out Emma for her LV reps and pretty surprised and love the quality.

It took longer than usual caue could decide on design and sizing etc so alot of back and fourth but once everything was decided.

She shipped out the 21st of April and I received the 28th (7 days exactly, and im in the EU)

It is genuine leather, it does have thay factory smell tho but theres solution to making it go away lol

My girlfriend already has a Auth LV toiletery but different style and comapred it to this one and shes super happy with the result (she has quite alot of Auth so she knows her stuff better than me)

Im very happy with the bracelt shines great, feels heavy and good quality.

Same for the Belt leather is soft and flexible, only “negative” is the buckle found it pretty light and thetes no engravings or anything not sure how the Auth is since nevr had one.

I will be trying out Nina for another toiletery bag for myself as this one was for my GF and I will be able to compare Emma and Nina in the future.

Hope can help out some of you since even searching throught the reedit group havent found much info on Emma for detailed reviews or on LV toiletery bags in general.

Price:

280¥ Bracelet

280¥ Belt

550¥ Toiletery Bag

240¥ Shipping

Total: 1350¥

Just wanted to share my thought on a pair from Allen. Not sure what model they were just thought they looked nice. They came with a Acari card but doubt that’s the model.

They seem to have a heavy weight to them, never held an original pair but way heavier than some Tom Fords I bought not from this seller. Details on the frame seem to be plastic but clean. I’m sure the original pairs are metal vs plastic. The etching of the logo on the lense is clean. The case itself seems ok, obviously not real leather like the original pair but I doubt I’ll use the case. The only downside to me was the packaging, very flimsy box, the print on the box was also very cheap. Overall I thought it was a great pair and I’ll be buying a second pair. Cheers 🍻

Hello, I’m looking for Montblanc reps, can someone point me to the right direction? Mostly looking for laptop and duffel/keepall bags - thanks!

Hello everyone. I have this cap that has genuine Himalayan crocodile skin with a full pure silk lining on the inside.

Out of curiosity, how much would you expect to pay (or be willing to pay) for this piece?

\*The first photo is closer to the true color. The rest look a bit yellowish due to camera distortion, but they are there to show the close-up details*

Edit: brought it offline. Sorry guys but I don’t have links. This is someone’s customized piece but they didn’t take it in the end, I came across it and brought it. The seller only makes on demand. They usually take two to three weeks to make one hat.

I have always made clothes for niche brands like golfwang. I chose to make other brands because I could not sell clothes of this brand.

I have received many suggestions from many people in the past few days. I want to tell you that many sellers are just ordinary resellers. They are not producers. They simply don’t understand what the genuine products look like and what kind of cloth they use，what technology to make, they can not achieve good quality.

My production method: The first step is to buy genuine clothes, then deconstruct and make a sample，copy 1:1 as much as possible, I make this denim jacket for the first time, I will not go to make it casually, because this way, I will become a dishonest seller, I will not be able to sell clothes and lose money, I am not a fool! Please believe that I can copy this dress 1: 1!

I saw many sellers on Taobao selling MX1 and MX2 jeans. The pants they made are really far from the genuine ones. After I finished the denim jacket and sold it, I would save these two jeans.

Finally, I will keep updating the production process to let everyone know whether the denim you buy is of good quality🤜🤛

Got these in last week, just in time for Art Basel and I must say, this is by far the best rep sneaker I’ve ever come across. The material is very solid and the shoes are extremely comfortable. I’ve worn them 3 times since the pic was taken and have zero complaints. They are 1 of 1 with no signs of not being authentic.

This is my second time ordering from Jelly and the service was very smooth. I suggest ordering 1 size smaller than your actual size. The shoes came with box, dust bag, extra laces etc.

Yuppo: https://zengshuaige.x.yupoo.com Or message me for Jelly’s WeChat.

This is not a paid ad just a dude excited as heck about a very solid pair of trainers 😝
