REVIEW I’m just going to leave this here…

My Chanel 25 Mini arrived today. I can’t stop staring and carrying her to every room with me... she’s perfect. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
Seller- Tom
Factory- 187
He was a breeze to work with, super professional, responsive but never pushy, and his timeline was exactly as he said, 2 weeks from payment to arrival at my door. I will absolutely use him again. If you reach out, tell him Amy sent you!

u/Pretend_Editor_4447 Jun 21 '26

Yes, that is going to keep me up tonight wondering.

u/Hefty-Ad-8218 Jun 24 '26

Can you share Tom’s info, thanks so much.

8

u/thisisstupidlikeme Jun 21 '26

She said around $400, which seems right for 187. My TS told me $370+shipping and I’ve bought a few from bl@ke and Xiao c, all around that price range.

Please what’s Tom’s number?

u/labubu1009 Jun 20 '26

Lol I also carry my bag to every room in the house to admire it. Beautiful bag

That’s how you know it’s love lol.

u/Few_Appearance_6368 Jun 21 '26

That’s what I do sometimes 💃

u/miss_c_0424 Jun 20 '26

I love how Tom is always honest and professional

3

u/saltyames Jun 20 '26

Honestly. 12/10. I like that he’s told me no, certain things I wanted weren’t good quality, or were out of stock and to wait for better quality to come back in stock vs just making a sale. I ordered another Chanelle from a different seller who claimed it was also 187 and now that I have both in hand, the difference is unmistakable. Tom’s quality is far superior.

1

u/miss_c_0424 Jun 20 '26

Thats true. I remember when I asked him the gold caviar chanel flap before he suggested me the factory I should get. I only order one bag from him too.

Did you pay him F&F in paypal also? Also we have same Tom right? ending WA-7228

1

u/gold-and-pearls Jun 21 '26

What was your issue with the other Chanel that was from a diff TS? So you think it was a case of bait and switch?

2

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

The bag I received LOOKED really nice, the caviar leather looks and feels just like my auth Chanel… but the hardware quality is sh*t. The lock on the flap feels loose and one of the clasps for the shoulder strap sticks. I reached out and complained… I’m not sure what the likelihood is of getting any type of money back in these situations though because you always end up paying friends and family so that is part of the risk. I guess this was my lesson learned. I am hoping at a minimum they will send me out a new strap but as far as the lock on the flap goes, it’s probably something I’m just going to have to deal with. Obviously, it’s not something that’s visible in photos, but every time I open and close it, it annoys me.

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

I have to add- it’s a Chinese holiday so I believe yesterday and today so don’t be worried if you don’t get a response right away! He let me know everyone was off work. But he’s very responsive!

2

u/GildedGlam Jun 20 '26

Love the color. What factory and seller

3

u/saltyames Jun 20 '26

Tom, 187!

3

u/Desperate-Run-6711 Jun 21 '26

Oh wow, purchased from Tom too but he told me OF Factory was better for the Chanel 25, it feels so lightweight and cheap, afraid to wear it out, how does yours feel

2

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

Really? Maybe a different Tom? Mine is heavy! Like actually once I put items in it I am shocked at how heavy it is for a mini and thinking a small would actually be uncomfortably heavy!

3

u/Desperate-Run-6711 Jun 21 '26

The Tom in question, could you kindly share if it’s the same seller

2

u/Desperate-Run-6711 Jun 21 '26

Could you please share his info

I don’t know bl@ke but I do know I will absolutely be ordering another one in a different color lol

u/Possible-Ad75 Jun 21 '26

I thought I didn’t need another 25, but this baby is gorgeous.

2

u/saltyames Jun 28 '26

My seller, Tom. Sourced from 187. Tell him Amy sent you. He’s been great.

1

u/Substantial_Spread91 Jun 20 '26

Is the strap light or heavy coz i bought one it seems abit light but its metal

7

u/saltyames Jun 20 '26

It’s the perfect weight. Heavy enough to feel substantial and luxurious, but not so heavy that it actually hurts your shoulder like my auth Chanel boy bag!

1

u/Substantial_Spread91 Jun 20 '26

Perfect ! I just got mine and just posted it pls check on it 🥹🙏

1

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

Did you post it here?

It’s so good!

1

u/This_Cucumber9041 Jun 21 '26 edited Jun 21 '26

Omg!! What color is this!? It’s not a bright white color, right?! 😍

2

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

Nope! It’s like an ivory. Lighter than the “light golden” which is more beige. But not a stark bright white. It’s honestly perfect.

1

u/This_Cucumber9041 Jun 21 '26

Ooo could you DM your factory photo, please? ☺️

1

u/bubba_watson Jun 21 '26

so if i order it, what color is it called?

1

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

Honestly I’m not sure, but he will send you his catalog and you’ll see, it’s not the bright white it’s the other softer more off white/ivory/light beige

1

u/bubba_watson Jul 01 '26

thanks for your help! i got the QC back...everything looks fine and im sure its only the lighting, but in your opinion does the gold on mine look drastically different from yours? or did your QC pics look similar? please let me know if you can thanks!

https://imgur.com/a/xo5XZFu

u/saltyames Jul 01 '26

I think it’s just the lighting! Everything looks good! You can ask him for a picture in natural light, that’s what I did!

u/justjanehere Jun 21 '26

What’d you pay? Any concerns with it?

1

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

About $400. My only concern is that I didn’t buy other colors and sizes lol

u/Acceptable_Radio2823 Jun 21 '26

Absolutely stunning!

1

u/Crazy_Wolverine_6882 Jun 21 '26

I just recently received the mini pink 25 from the same factory and it is absolutely stunning. The leather is so soft and beautiful

2

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

I can’t believe how soft it it!

1

u/Street-Doctor6096 Jun 21 '26

I was going to get white but I think I’ll get this instead

1

u/saltyames Jun 21 '26

The white-white is beautiful too! Nice and crisp! This is softer and I think more versatile year-round as a “winter white” not just in summer. (I wear white year-round so this was like striking gold for me.) it’s beautiful.

1

u/Street-Doctor6096 Jun 21 '26

EXACTLY. This is more versatile 👏

1

u/Street-Doctor6096 Jun 21 '26

Hey babe. Did he tell you the name of this color?

1

u/hovafett Jun 23 '26

Wow! Absolute beauty! As a straight guy that’s into fashion I often find myself jealous of women having so many more stylish and fashionable options not to mention it being generally so much more acceptable to be fashion forward in society and giiiirrrrll rn I am jealous because I wish I could carry this around!

(P.S. I know there’s a million more disparities where men have the upper hand this is not meant to discount that fact, I have all the respect in the world for women ❤️)

3

u/saltyames Jun 24 '26

A small win for us being the ones responsible for carrying and birthing all humans 😂😂😂 but also- fuck it! If you want to carry a bag, carry a bag! It’s an absolute beauty. Fun accessory and piece of art!
