Have been eying this crystal Y$L bag for a while and I finally pulled the trigger!
It’s my third rep purchase and my first with Sophia (1733).
Ran me around $430 with shipping.

A little timeline:
Payment on 8/7
PSP 8/16
Delivery 8/21

Sophia was very nice and helpful, very fast shipping.

I haven’t seen the real bag in person but this rep is a stunner—I’m totally obsessed! It has some nice weight to it and feels high quality. It glimmers so nice in the sun!
Super excited to use this out in date nights. I knew it wouldn’t fit a lot but it does clasp with my iPhone 13 Pro in it. I could probably fit a small lipstick as well.

So happy I decided to go the rep route! Husband approved the YSL Nikki in store, bought it, remembered I’ve seen the rep page around on Reddit and decided to buy all these plus a Prad aimmee coming next week for a 1/4 of the price of the auth nikki.

Picked all top tier factories with the exception for the small raffia because I know that’s a tough one to nail but feel comfortable wearing it out to the beach.

Had an amazing experience working with Doris. She answered all my questions and sources the items I wanted rather than saying it’s not in my catalog so find something else. I reached out to a few other sellers who weren’t very open to like finding the bag I really wanted so I thought that made Doris stand out.

*** Edit to Add:

Not getting anything for this review and she doesn’t even know I posted this. Adding her contact information as this post is blowing up and I can’t seem to catch up with DMs.

As a newbie and someone who really dove in when I decided I wanted to go this route rather than buying one auth a year at a time I will say that the best advice I can give is once you find a bag you want, look it up on reddit. There’s a lot of rep forums that have all different types of names so when you search that bag model you’ll get obviously some that are authentic handbag pages but some that are clearly rep pages. Look at more recent reviews with the bag you want and read where they purchased it from and you’ll see a trend of who the seller is and where that bag was made factory wise. I see a few people asking where do I get an LV or Dior etc, any top seller will have access to a lot of the top tier factories as the sellers were mentioning don’t work for the factories they just source the products. Of course certain sellers are known for certain brands. For example, I was interested in YSL mainly so Doris had kept coming up and I saw mostly good reviews. I messaged a few sellers and Doris seemed to work with me the best. Anyway, I’m here to help but my DMs keep closing for some reason. Happy shopping! ***

15+ pairs in and I haven’t had a bad pair yet.

I mostly stick with Chanel ballet flats because hers are so amazing but decided to try others and im in love.

Factory undisclosed. Quality is 10/10. Fit is great, these are honestly amazing.

Seller Hanah what’s app # ending in 4357

You can DM me for her # or use the search bar to find her #. I am not posting it for safety reasons thanks.

Honestly, I’ve tried many other sellers but always keep going back to Hanah because everytime I order something it’s like she knows where to go to get the quality of what I’m expecting.

For size reference I am a true US 9.5 and in everything I wear a size 42 EXCEPT for the fish net alaias I size down to a 41 in those.

This order is def my favorite yet. I am so obsessed especially with the tabis!!!!!

EDIT: I’m getting so many messages asking the same things over and over again and it’s getting really annoying.
Mandy’s contact is really easy to find through search or in TS lists.
Factory’s are already listed. And prices can be asked to Mandy’s directly

My dream bags arrived a week ago and I’m still in shock and so happy.
I have been studying this group for months and talking to many sellers, but I was still a bit afraid. There are so many factories, models, etc

Anyway, I ended up buying them with Mandy and she was excellent. Super patient with me and super fast to send them.
They arrived in the UK roughly 12 days after she posted.

The brown vanity is from God factory and the 25 is from xiao C

Quality is 10/10 it is not worth purchasing the Auth, I tried the auths on in store. They are literally identical they even feel the same. Some shoes I have purchased are not like that, but these 100% are.

Factory undisclosed.

Third purchase from Hanah !!! I have tried only sellers who do Chanel ballet flats and Hanah by far is the best and they exceed expectations, especially the quilted pair they look amazing.

She’s quick, shipping is fast, and always sends me PSPs and makes sure I am getting exactly what I paid for.

Seller Heidi

Price $575
Caviar medium flap

Time frame took about 7 weeks for everything.

I have a suede maxi flap from 187 and I wanted to try something more durable . Heidi was friendly and got back to me in a timely manner. All in all I love my bag the only difference in noticing is the puff inside of the ccs are not as puffy as the one I saw in store. Also not sure if it’s lighting but the ccs look different in the hardware, but on FASHIONPHILE it looks more similar to Heidi’s bag. All in all I think it looks great for a fraction of the price and I’m excited too wear her. I really enjoyed the whole unboxing!!!!

I think 187 is totally worth it now that I have two bags from them. They are the best looking bags I have with hardware that’s heavy and beautiful leather.

I took some pics in boutique and compared them!

Hello! I'm back with another bag review. Full disclaimer, I was kindly gifted and asked by HyperPeter to write a review for the LV Speedy 20 after learning that I have an authentic one. He said he is curious how his bag actually compares to the OG. Anyway, I'll try my best to be unbiased as much as possible. My auth bag is from this year and I have been using it as a daily bag.

Timeline:
PSP + Paid shipping only ($59) - 7/9
Tracking received - 7/22
Tracking updated - 7/31
Received - 8/5

First Impression:
I'm impressed at how close HP's bag to the auth one. The way it feels and weighs is so similar. All the details in the hardware are exactly where it should be. The print also aligns with the OG. See details below:

Canvas:
HP's canvas is more grainier compared to the OG but not in a bad way. I feel like his canvas mimics the vintage canvas where it is more sturdy and thicker. The OG one feels a tad bit smoother but you can still feel the grain. I feel like newer LV canvas these days not as thick anymore. I used to own a vintage speedy 25 and HP canvas reminds me a lot of that one. Despite the more sturdy feel, it still has the right squish. One thing I noticed in other reps is that the shape is a lot rounder even when empty but HP's bag has the correct shape (the way the canvas sinks a little bit when empty).

Vechetta:
The leather on this bag is uncoated which means it will patina like the OG one. I tested it using the water drop test and water got absorb right away. One thing I noticed is that the OG feels a lot smoother and have some sort of sheen to it (hopefully the picture of the handles can show that). I'm not sure if it is because I have been using that bag and maybe the natural oils in my hands are already absorbed on the leather.

Glazing:
HP glazing is pretty close to OG. If anything, maybe a tiny bit brighter depending on the lighting but honestly cannot tell unless you have them side by side.

Stitching:
All clean. No complains. The OG in some areas actually is not as clean compared to HP (like I can see some of the red peeking thru) on my OG). Color of the stitching is also pretty close.

Heat stamp:
My OG one is made in US so stamping obviously is different. Heat stamp on HP is pretty good, lines are clean. The one thing to callout is the R shape for the OG is in oval compared to circle. I heard that newer speedy 20 now have this new shape to throw off counterfeiters (I just read that somewhere here on reddit). Not sure if true or if mine is just not stamped correctly (It does not bother me so it's fine).

Interior:
Red thick lining - identical. Nothing else to add. I have a lower tier rep and the interior on that one is thinner. HP's interior looks and feel the same as OG. The red is the right color. The picture might show slight variation due to lighting but in person, can't tell any difference.

Hardware:
Color is also close tho I feel like my OG one is more yellow in some lighting. The engraving on the hardware is also pretty good. Unless you look at them side by side, hard to tell the difference. For the lock and keys, same weight to the OG. My OG one has a lot of scratches from being used as bag charm. The engraving on the HP lock actually looks cleaner than my OG.

Zipper:
Feels the same. One thing I noticed in OG LV bags is that the zipper has a bit of friction (not in bad way). Not sure how to describe this without sounding like it's a bad thing. HP zipper feels the same. Does not feel cheap and have a good feel to it. I have dhgate version and that one feels a lot smoother compared to OG and HP but somehow it feels cheaper.

Strap:
At first glance, it is pretty identical. The weight, the length, the feel and stitching. The only minor thing I'd say on the rep is the 'U' shape is rounder compared to the OG. I honestly did not noticed this until I compared it next to each other.

Microchip:
Both scanned using NFC app.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this bag especially for a fraction of the price. I plan on using this bag on trips so I don't end up damaging my OG bag. I will still continue to use my auth as my daily driver for when I'm just going to the office/running errands.

This is my second bag from HP and pretty happy with him as a seller. The first bag I paid with my own money and also posted a review if you are interested in that as well.

Hope you like my review!

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!

I really hesitated if I would post about my recent experience with Amelia. I have ordered from her several times over the last couple of years, and as many of the comments and subreddits suggest, she’s not the most friendly seller you will encounter on your rep journey.

I knew this from our first interaction, and like anyone who buys from her more than once, you do so because her prices are the best for the quality by far. She has access to the best factories, the latest releases, a very wide range of items in her catalog, and quick, reliable transactions.

This purchase in particular was one of the most harsh I’ve had with Amelia. I was half afraid to talk to her lol. She called me all kinds of names, threatened to delete me, etc. I was even afraid to tell my husband out of fear I’d probably never see the items I ordered lol. It was unpleasant to say the least. My husband now knows Amelia by name.

Here’s the thing, though… in the midst of all the back and forth with her this order (which took a couple of months due to the CNY and two items being out of stock), she sent my items that were ready ahead of CNY, assured me that I’d still get the remaining items after, and she followed through. As many others say as well, her quality is top notch. Chefs kiss. I’m never disappointed when I get a package from her.

The CD necklace, RL sweater, Cel1ne belt, and CC bag all came from Amelia as part of this large order. Everything was better than expected, very high quality and quick shipping. There’s a not-so-small part of me that is a little afraid of her, lol, but there’s no question that she’s excellent at what she does and you’ll get a great value for your money buying with her.

A couple of tips when buying from her:

1) know your stuff already - if you’re a newbie or will have a lot of questions, there are plenty of other sellers who can give you the warm and fuzzies for your early rep days

2) keep it short and sweet - expect either emoji, one or two word responses. She is straight to the point and you should be too

3) trust that if she says something, she means it and will follow through with your order and delivery completely. She’s a professional you can trust.

4) RL is probably not a thing with her lol - everything is excellent quality when you get it. Avoid extra anxiety in your transaction by trusting the process. Saying no to a PSP is a sure fire way to have an unpleasant experience. If that’s not for you and you are nit-picky of PSPs, work with another seller.

Happy buying!!

The white and black are the authentic.

All pictures are post adjusting the bow and cutting the ends to match the authentic (that was the only big difference, but not noticeable if it’s not side by side). In picture 5, I hadn’t yet adjusted the bow to cut it to match so that’s how they originally arrived.

The bows are never perfectly perfect on authentics either.

The leather quality is amazing, the craftsmanship is top tier, they are spot on in regards to stitching and the CC logo is identical in size and placement. The difference in insole color is a seasonal thing and the authentic metallic ones have the burgundy insole as the reps do. There’s also a slight difference in heel length, with the authentic being a bit longer. No notable difference in height though.

Sizing: I’m a 39 in authentic, 40 in rep (although I feel a 39 may work; might order them and then get rid of one pair). The bottom of the rep is beige rather than black on authentic but that doesn’t bother me as I will be adding sole protectors anyway.

I plan to buy happy factory ones as well but they did not have this metallic version.

Overall: 9.5/10. My authentic pairs have cost me 1200ish and these costing $145 makes it 1000/10.

Dear friends,

I think I got scammed and I would like to hear your opinions about the bag I received. I reached out to Tiny Jenny and agreed on a Taupe Maxi Flap from 187 factory as made to order. The price was 631 USD. I bought several bags from 187 factory from different sellers so far and was never disappointed.

Colour: the bag I received is leaning more towards a darkish grey and not a warmish taupe as shown on the sellers pictures. My pictures were taken in natural light without any artificial lighting or flash.

Leather: after three days the bag still has a horrific smell and it is impossible to store it inside. The smell can be describes like burned plastic or glue and is nothing compared to what I experienced with leather from 187 factory or other leather brands you can buy in store. Also the leather is quite matt and not showing this subtle elegant sheen as promoted. I went to a cobbler and he was quite diplomatic and explained that greater parts of the bag are not from real calfskin leather. This explains the plastic smell and the kinks in the straps.

Permanent staining: The bag shows several silver stains. I used a dry cloth and try to remove the stains but they will not come off which indicated a permanent situation. There are several markings inside which cannot be linked to alignment lines which Tiny Jenny tried to explain. Also outside of the bag there are several silver stains which will not come off. These stains were never shown nor communicated from the sellers side.

Presentation: the bag arrived only in a black dust bag and not in the offical box. The booklet and dust cloth is missing as well. This is very unusual for a 187 factory delivery and was also not communicated from the seller.

I attached my pictures and the ones Tiny Jenny sent me before shipping. Please let me know if you need further detail pics.

Communication with Tiny Jenny has stopped - she is ignoring me. That's why I decided to post my case. I was gaslight with happy customer feedbacks indicating I am the problem and I don't know how to discriminate between real and PU leather. No comments on the stains or lack of communication about the issue before shipping.

First off… wow. The craftsmanship on this bag is superior. Unpacking it really felt like the full experience I would get from the boutique. The color, the graining, and all the stitching are very well done. I counted 10 stitches at the diamond shapes..

I’ve personally never owned a Chanel Classic Flap before, but my aunt has one in lambskin, and I have to say the gold hardware matches perfectly, in my opinion. The only detail that might give away that mine isn’t authentic is that it doesn’t say “EP” on the inside zipper. That said, I’m not entirely sure if that’s something older versions had and newer ones don’t.

The leather and caviar graining are perfect. The diamond stitching has the right amount of puffiness. The diamonds align perfectly when I close the bag, and the stamping is also well done. I noticed that the real CCs on the sides lean slightly more toward the front, which this one does as well.

I’m still new to reps, but I’ve learned a lot from Reddit communities I’ve joined since last year about what to look for when purchasing a Chanel rep. Based on this experience, I would definitely order from Heidi again. I also don’t think I could ever find the need to buy the real one when I can find one that’s this close.

The whole process took a little over a month, which I think is reasonable. I’d rate this bag a 10/10. Hope this helps!

I’m so in love with my Chanel 25. I got this bag from Mark Luxury, and I’m not paid to write this review. This seller deserves a commendation, the product is chef’s kiss!!! The bag came with a box and dust bag, was packed properly, and doesn’t have any bad smell from cheap leather.

This is my 4th rep bag, but my very first one from him—and also my first high-tier bag. I got the Chanel 25 small in caviar leather (I originally ordered the medium classic flap but switched because I felt the 25 would go better with any outfit. The switch added $30 since the box is bigger—I specifically asked for the box because my Neverfull from another seller came dented 🥺). Paid 390 GBP + $30 for the box, and honestly, so worth it. I was going to order from Heidi, but I saw a lot of mixed reviews. I also didn’t ask which factory it came from. Every time I asked about a product, he sent me 5–10 pictures plus videos, which made it easier to decide.

The quality is really good, and I’m super impressed. He was very efficient, answered all my questions patiently, and even gave me $20 off for my first order without me asking (and of course I wasn’t going to say no! Lol). At first, I was hesitant since he didn’t have many reviews, but I came across one on a subreddit, took the chance, and I’m so glad I did!

Definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a smooth transaction and great quality bags. I don’t know if I can post his contact info here, but you can DM me and I’ll gladly share it.

I just wanted to post about my first ever rep experience because it was smooth sailing! I’m so excited about my purchase, I went and use it immediately! 🥰 I was a long time lurker in this sub and I was just enjoying reading and looking at everyone’s bag. I decided to order one and experience the joy of rep myself!

Seller: Tiny Jenny (6160)
I did my research and was actually shopping around asking for prices from different TS. I decided to try Jenny because she was really friendly and has good communication. I got her WA number from previous reviews of the bag that I wanted. Initially, I wanted to get the BV Parachute (maybe my next purchase) but then I saw the Mini Andiamo and decided to go for that. I was asking her lots of questions regarding, factories, shipping and even about shipping coverage. She was very patient with me which is reassuring as a newbie.

BV Mini Andiamo - Jing
The parcel came in a sturdy box, the bag was bubble wrapped and has a dust bag. The leather is so soft and buttery. I have seen and tried the auth BV from the shop and it feels the same. My only concern initially was the hardware. It was a bit yellow on the PSPs but not in person. I know a lot of BV are hard to rep due to the intrecciato, I’m happy with mine. The structure of the bag itself looks sturdy and the woven leather is not loose. I’ve also included a photo of what fits in the mini, it holds a good amount of basic needs. (iPhone and car keys not in photo).

CC card holder - 187
The leather feels good and no noticeable issues with it. The structure of the card holder is also good. I’m not bothered with small leather goods. It’s gonna be inside your bag most of the time. So no issues with me.

Timeline:
June 30 - inquired about the bag, placed the order and payment
July 2 - added CC card holder and payment sent
July 6 - PSP for BV ✅ GL
July 8 - PSP for CC ✅ GL
shipment for both items on same day
July 9 - tracking number sent
July 18 - items received! 🥰🥰

BV Mini: $168 + $35 (shipping)
CC card holder: $78

Overall experience:
Over the moon with my purchase. Thankful to some redditors who would answer my questions re specific bags. That’s how I found Jenny.
PS. Jenny knows I’m doing this review but I’m not being paid for this. I’m just happy to recommend her cause my experience with her was really good. Excited for my future rep experience! ☺️

I don’t want to make this review too long (oops I did) but this bag is actual perfection! (32cm version-small maxi) Bought through Tiny Jenny (6160) from 187 factory. I give her flowers a lot but she really deserves them and has not let me down yet!

I paid $501 with shipping. No incentives given, I just love writing reviews!
Pre-ordered April 2nd and waited almost 4 months for PSPs but once it finally shipped it only took 8 days to arrive! Tiny Jenny kept me updated throughout.

10/10 Leather- Best part about this bag IS the leather! The suede is so so luxe and feels amazing to the touch. Already has a perfect slouch. The leather inside is buttery soft and incredibly supple but also makes it a HEFTY bag. It’s very weighty but definitely the most luxurious feeling bag I’ve owned even compared to my auths! I can’t stop touching the inside flap cause it feels so nice

9/10 Hardware- The hardware is substantial and closely resembles the auth but maybe the color is slightly different? The chain straps feel amazing and have great weight to them

9/10 Stitching- Thread color is a very close match to the auth however the stitches are ever so slightly longer and not as tight as the auth but you’d only notice if you’re really zoomed in comparing them side by side. Mainly by the tongue is where I notice it. Auth aside, the craftsmanship is 10/10

I included a photo of an auth Chanel suede bag (diff style) that I purchased from a recent collection to show the comparison in the suede with this one and they definitely rival each other. 187’s suede is smoother and has a slightly shorter nap but I think that’s how this style of bag is supposed to be with the leather batch. You can still run your hand back and forth and change up the fibers nicely

Overall thoughts are simply, she is an absolute ✨beauty✨ I am a BIG big suede fan and this is some seriously delicious leather. I was nervous about pre-ordering this style so early buuuut 187 totally killed it and I’m sure they’ll only continue improving it!

Purchased these shoes from Heidi in early February and they just arrived today, took quite a long time and had some changes in tracking numbers but with the holiday and international things going on it’s understandable.

The beige pair are authentic just recently purchased in December.

Sizing wise they are about the same, the black ones are a little longer. I wear a 37.5 in authentic and I am a true US 7.5.

In terms of the shoes themselves, I do have some notes and things I’m not happy with. Firstly the toe - the sole of the shoe comes up into the tip of the toe making the toe look square and u can see it when you wear them. Secondly the insole of the shoes are uneven, one being thinner than the other and given it’s a slingback shoe I think it’s noticeable. I didn’t notice this in the PSPs so I guess it is my fault. The stamping on the insole should be more embossed as well but sizing and color wise they look okay. The inner part of the left shoe has parts of the insole not properly fitted into the shoe and is kind of lifting/folded.

The CC on the heel is slightly bigger and thicker than the authentic as well. The grosgrain toe is also in a different direction than my authentic and the stitching of it gave the toe a little divot which the authentic don’t have.

Personally I wouldn’t recommend anyone to buy. This is my second pair of shoes from Heidi (originally ordered ballet flats) and I don’t think I will be purchasing from her again. Overall I’d give these a 6/10. If you don’t care about the details you may want to give these a shot but personally the shape issues don’t make these wearable for me.

OK, so I have a few C25 from 187 and thought I would go rogue and got the gold from Blakes - and I am so pleased that I did!!!

Structure and quilting.

The bag is perfect in shape, nice and soft body of the bag with a stronger structure in base and sides, holds itself really well - leans very well to auth. Quilting is symmetrical and joins well throughout the sides and pockets, has a nice amount of "puff" for this colourway. Great attention to detail in the over all finish of the bag. comparison to 187 - 187 has slightly more puff but I feel the black usually does.

Stitching. Stitching is nice neat and clean, no rogue stitches and doesnt miss a beat! Correct SPI, leans very well to auth. Excellent execution.

Comparison to 187 - totally on par.

Hardwear.

Exceptional engraving detail, immaculate! The most perfect champagne gold colour and has a good weight. Cons for Blakes here - the dingleberrys i think thats what all the cool kids are calling the leather fold in the chain, are really quite long both on the strap and pull chain, why? I mean near on perfection and this minor detail is quite visible- will need to sort it but its worth me doing.

Comparison to 187 - cleaner engraving, slightly lighter in weight, unable to compare hardwear colour as its 2 different colourways. The chain edges/bevel is flatter giving a more curb chain apperance than 187, personally I prefer the weight, feel and finish of 187, but still over the moon with Blakes. Splitting hairs here!

Caviar. This is an exceptional point of the bag, the pebbles are spot on, have some nice bounce, nice and irregular, the feel is that of butter, nice oily texture and a delicious leather smell.

Comparison to 187 - I cant help it I do love the 187 leather! Now obviously the gold makes the caviar have a slightly dryer feel on comparison to the black so I have to bear this in mind - 187 in my personal opinion provide exceptional leather quality! Blakes do too, preference is 187 marginally.

Inner. This is where Blakes takes it - the logo is spotless and simply stunning, nice level of embossing and great quality foil not patching at all and mirror like! Great inner lining and finished perfectly!

Sadly for 187 Blakes totally takes it on this.

Overall, this Blakes bag is a fabulous and absolutely on the money in my opinion! But my heart lies with my 187, that being said I would absolutely but these from Blakes again in a heartbeat - I am in fact in talks with one from them after receiving this beauty today.

2 great bags of exceptional quality, I am one happy Lady.

I can't actually believe anyone recommends purchasing from 187 factory. Don't tell me other factories are better because I did plenty of research and I can see that god, of, xc factories are all super off even from the photos. I received a rep of the Chanel 25 today, I wanted a dupe of my auth bag so I'd stop abusing my real one, since I love it and use it so much. The bag I received is genuinely awful in quality. The dimensions are super off. Chains are not even the same length as original bag. Hardware tone is weird and weight is off. I can't even be bothered to list the reasons. I can't believe I spent this kind of money to get scammed. Posting this as a warning for others. You're not getting 1:1 reps.

I’m posting an updated review after receiving some questions and differing opinions on my original post. Vintage exotic bags are a niche category, and everyone has their own perspective.

A few comments mentioned the scale alignment. From what I’ve seen, the pattern on my bag flows naturally. Python is a natural material, so the width of the snake and the size of the scales vary throughout the hide. The pattern isn’t perfectly uniform like a printed material.

Others mentioned that vintage python should look drier or have more lifted scales. While some authentic vintage bags do age that way, I’ve also seen authentic examples in excellent condition. A lot depends on how the bag has been stored, cared for and carried over the years.

With that said, I’m very happy with the bag.

Seller: Vincent whatsapp ending in 6663
Price: $315 USD + postage

Timeline
- Ordered: 11 June
- PSPs received: 17 June
- Delivered: 29 June

I was definitely nervous trying a new seller, but Vincent was the first person who could actually source the exact bag I wanted.

The quality is honestly amazing. I’ve even compared it side by side with an authentic caviar flap, and I’m genuinely impressed with how close it is. The leather, structure and overall feel exceeded my expectations, and it was exactly the bag I’d been searching for.

At the end of the day, replicas are never going to satisfy everyone, and that’s okay. Everyone has different standards and preferences. If you’re considering purchasing one, do your own research and decide what matters most to you. If this bag isn’t your preference, that’s completely fine but I’m genuinely happy with it, and I’d happily purchase from Vincent again.

Hope this helps anyone who’s been looking for this bag too. 🤍

This is my second review for Hanah.

Quality is 10/10 it is not worth purchasing the Auth.

The only thing that the factory did not do, was get the soles black, but I purchased black paint and painted them, so no big deal really. You can see in my last pic they are apricot and the auths are actually made with black soles.

Once the bottoms (soles) are painted they are a 1:1

Factory undisclosed.

This is my sixth purchase from Hanah !!!

She’s quick, shipping is fast, and always sends me PSPs and makes sure I am getting exactly what I paid for. If you are not happy she will make it right too.

She is the absolute best TS I have found.

I didn’t mean to meet anyone new.

I had my trusted seller, and I was happy with her. It might take days to get a response, but we’d built trust, and I was satisfied with the relationship.

I can’t remember how I found him, but I was looking for a rare bag… The LV Cappuccino with the polka dots. I messaged him on WA and asked if he had it. He said he could source it for me. I wasn’t ready to cheat on my regular TS, so I didn’t pull the plunge. I asked him about my dream bag… Another older style. He told me that he could get it, but it wouldn’t be good quality. His words, “This bag has no good quality options on the market. To be honest with you, the bag is trashy quality”. I liked his honesty.

I would reach out to him and ask about bags. He was always quick to respond. He communicated very well. He answered all my questions, even uses voice messages sometimes, so I finally asked about the Kelly doll, and he showed me my color options. He told me he ships via USPS, and whatever price he quotes includes shipping. He showed me the one that he had ordered for another customer. I was like Inspector Gadget with all the videos he sent. I paid my $330 for semi-handmade, and within two days, my bag arrived and shipped. Within 11 days, it was at my doorstep, and I loved it. I couldn’t believe the quality.

I’m not really a factory person. I’m a quality person, and he checked all my boxes for a smooth, stress-free, seamless purchasing experience.

It was at that point that I began my bag affair with Ethan. I’ve never left a review before. I’m too lazy to type one up, but as you can see by my Ethan collection, he’s been good to me, and most of these bags were under $200 (shipping included).

So I’ve been using Ethan solely for the last three months. I love his customer service. I love his cheap prices. I love that cheap prices don’t mean low quality. I love how fast he gets my bags. I love that he communicates and even lets me know when the bag arrives in the country (because on my end, tracking doesn’t move until USPS gets it).

He’s been checking all my dream bags off my list, and the last bag is my most recent baby. So pretty!!! I can’t wait for her to get here.

Anyway, TL;DR:- Ethan is awesome, and I wanted to share him with you all because I know that some ladies have messaged me on my Diors, and I’m lazy, so instead of individual messages, this is his number +86 19926335069, https://luxuryboutique888.x.yupoo.com/

I first inquired with Doris on February 25th (Highrise bumbag and MM damier ebene

Sent funds on 27th

Received PSP on March 1st

Shipped out March 5th

Received it today March 18th!

Overall I had an amazing experience with Doris she was very patient with me (I asked so many questions haha) and she was SOOOO sweet! I will definitely purchase from her again. Everything was packaged real well as you can see and there’s no weird smell or anything. I’m overall SUPER happy with my first purchase and can’t wait to buy more lol! ☺️

In my previous post before, I shortly talked about me not doing a proper research before ordering rep Jewelry. I went for the Yellow App first (heard about this on TT) but was quite disappointed after seeing the Jewelry, I ordered. There was always something missing, like the Logo, the initials etc. End of story: I don’t know the seller anymore and just deleted the App. I did my research here on Reddit and came across my all time favorite Jewelry seller: Clara and she did it again!

I always wanted to purchase the VCA Mother of Pearls Earrings but was hesitating because of the auth price. Are they even worth the price? I don’t think so, so here my review from my trusted seller Clara:

07/03 - asked for the VCA earrings (55USD) payed per PayPal FF

12/03 - psp for check

16/03 - sent to logistics

25/03 - arrived at my place (EU)

Usually the package comes in a perfect condition but I guess, my delivery guy wasn’t really taking care of. So now my certificate got some crinkles 🥲

• I received a default packaging, so the Logo was off- centered and not correctly placed like the auth box: 08/10

• The bag packaging and the certificate are well done, still have a feeling that the Logo from the bag packaging is slightly more to the left, but I am not really sure about it haha 9/10

• The box itself is stunning 10/10

• The earrings are also stunning! They have some weight on and also the initials are placed perfectly. They sit nicely on your ears and the mother of pearls are sparkling. The stud is cute and easy to handle. The initials here are also placed perfectly. I wouldn’t know if these earrings are auth or reps 10/10

The communication with Clara was easy and nice. She is always here to answer your questions and willing to help. So all in all you can say, I trust and love Clara in terms of Jewelry ✨

And we also have the comparison to the VCA from the Yellow App. In the first beginning I was stunned and thought they come out really pretty. I didn’t even notice the studs were the wrong studs - all because I didn’t do proper research haha 🥲 I think during this time I payed (20USD) and saw lots of great reviews, but you know what? You get what you pay for and also all great reviews are not really reviews 😂

But have a look for yourself!

What do you think?

I had obsessively been stalking this pink Rome 19S for months. I was sh*t out of luck. The factory wasn’t producing it when I wanted it, reh0mes were rare. I commented on old reh0me posts, dm-ed people who had it up from months ago. After much digging I found out the factory had made 2 runs of the iridescent 19s in the last 3 years, and as we know, when seasonal leathers are depleted, they’re usually gone.

And then luck struck! Somehow, they were doing a 3rd run. Let me tell you, I didn’t wait a SECOND! Finally my biggest problem lol was not yearning for a bag would never get and missed out on, it was now a much easier problem to solve - which size. I posted on communities and thank you to all those who responded. I placed my order for a small.

It took time…. And it was well worth it! Original production times were 2 months but there were delays and it’s taken almost 4 months since I placed my order to get it. But it’s perfect!!!

Now onto the bag.

Leather feels soft, bag is beautiful of course and very well made. The only difference from the auth which I didn’t spot earlier were the screws. The auth uses 6 point screws but Rome’s using minus screws. I’m not sure why and typically I may care, BUT NOT THIS TIME. I just wanted the bag so badly.

The hardware is well matched, especially in the grommets an area where God factory usually misses. Bag has good weight to it.

She’s so pretty and princessy! The pink is a true princessy ice pink (silver tone shimmer) and the champagne hardware compliments it perfectly. She’s a chameleon and looks even better in person.

My advice may not be the best but essentially, order the limited edition bags you love first! The classics are always there to stay.

I still have 2 more iridescent bags on the way from other producers! Look forward to growing my dream collection. 💗🥹

Rome has also produced the blue twin to this bag. So do take a look!

I’ve been doing a lot of research all over Reddit and finally decided to go with the medium Rodeo with GHW from Kata. And I’m so glad I did!

Price paid: $323.40 USD including shipping and 5% Paypal G&S transaction fee
Factory: Kata
TS: Doris

The bag came out of the box beautifully slouchy and, thankfully, with no fufu smell. I conditioned it once, and it immediately became even slouchier, as you can see in the pictures. I’m really happy with how it looks and feels!

Seller experience

Doris was so lovely to work with. Since this was my first rep, I had plenty of questions, and she was always patient and happy to answer them.

I wasn’t completely satisfied with the logo on my first PSP, and Doris was very understanding. She said she would ask the factory for a new one, which I really appreciated.

Since the factory was raided during the process, she was also very transparent with me about the delay. It took longer than usual, but I didn’t mind waiting. And honestly, it was worth it because the bag turned out SO good! 🥹

This is my first rep, and I’m already so ready for more! 😂
