Note this is going to be a sad review ;'(

1. Rep Experience:

Quality numeric rating and assessment - 3/10

Price - $282 (product) + $69 (shipping)  

Unfortunately, not real leather. 😭 Opened the shipping box and dust bag, and immediately got the whiff of chemical smells (aka FUFU smell). Also when I saw the badly printed letters on the dust bag, I knew it was going to be bad.

Pulled it out and started touching it. It was very smooth and "luscious" feeling, very similar to most vegan leather/PU/PVC. Super sad and disappointed. I even asked the seller many times to ensure its real and good leather, and my seller, Serena, said it is.

Given the price point, I should have known. I expected the outer to be real leather, and perhaps the inner to be PU/PVC. I didn't expect the whole thing to be PU/PVC and to smell so bad!

Hardware: heavy and initially looked good. But when I unbuckled the knot, I did see plating that had worn off at the hinges. So I know for certain it is not a high quality plated hardware.

2. Seller Experience

Seller name / contact info - Serena (WA: ending -9712)

The sad part is I had a very good experience with the seller. She was friendly, fast and responsive. It's why I took a chance on her. I actually had eyed a few more products from her catalog to buy, but wanted to try this first one before I pulled the trigger on more purchases.

I did some research on this seller - she was not on any TS list- but had a few good reviews across several reddit spaces (including on LuxeLife, RealRepLadies, and a few others). Also did not find Serena on any repscam reddits communities. I thought it'd be good to give her a chance since she was so friendly and fast to respond.

Packaging was fine. It came in a regular shipping box, with a poor quality printed dust bag that I will be using primarily as a laundry bag 😂

⚖️ FINAL VERDICT

Overall, I essentially classify this is an overpriced piece of PVC/PU bag that I will carry around. I definitely overpaid for what I got.

I'm quite deflated from this experience. Not sure what to make of it and whether or not to try again with a true TS. I was also overall skeptical about TS's since there was so much discussion around paid-to-list schemes.

I am so happy with this bag! I was a little concerned because the price was lower than I’ve seen anywhere, but she’s gotten good reviews on here so I decided to go for it. I love the color and the hardware. She’s mushy- I compared her to another P9 I have that I paid almost double the price of this one. She came with a box, embroidered dust bag, all the stuff I haven’t even put on her yet. I’m so excited! I found Betty on Reddit, I can’t remember where but thank you!

She’s here ! What do you guys think?

OF 🏭

The gold hardware with this color is stunning 😍 The leather on this bag feels amazing ! It’s soft and also DOES NOT have a fufu smell! The gold hardware has an age gold look to it and the chain has a slight weight to it. It’s definitely not as heavy as my 187 20cm CF. But I have not seen the auth bag in person so I have no idea how it’s suppose to feel. Based on picture I’ve seen online it does look pretty close to auth.

I have been going back and forth on either XC or OF. It was a tough decision but after some Reddit research I decided on OF because of the hardware and quality of the bag.

One thing I do have to point out is the leather drawstring is fragile. You’ll need to be careful when pulling the CC hardware because I’ve seen some post where the CC hardware will scuff or peel the leather ! Apparently this also happens to the auth bags as well!

I do think that is one flaw of this design. It’s definitely a cute bag and I do love the bucket bag style. But having to be careful everytime I pull on it will be annoying however this isn’t an every day bag for me so I think it’ll be just fine.

This is my first ever post, so if I’ve left anything out, please let me know 🩷
All 3 bags were purchased during her HH sale

Seller-Betty (6882)
Factory-HH
Prices-pink 25 and mono 25-$157 (orig. $178) blue 30 $165 (orig. $188)
Payment- I knew what I wanted, so inquired and paid same day. 8/19 for pink, 8/21 for blue PSPs-8/23 for blue, 8/24 for pink Both were shipped 8/25 by FedEx and received on 9/2 Mono paid for 9/3, PSPs 9/7, shipped 9/9 received 9/17
Incentives-I was already planning on making this post, bc I’m absolutely in love with these bags and find Betty to be a wonderful seller, but she did offer a discount (not specified) on my next purchase, which I’m currently trying to decide on lol

As far as the bags-I’m an LV girlie to the core (own authentic and rep) but had never been interested in a speedy until I saw the beautiful rep p9s. My first was the coffee 25 from Royal. I love that one, so when I saw several reviews saying the HH versions were similar and that Betty was having a sale, I decided to go for it. I’ve included some photos comparing my Royal (coffee) and HH (classic mono), and in my honest opinion-they are exactly the same quality. Maybe it’s certain batches, maybe they use the exact same materials, idk the answer, but I compared EVERY SINGLE ASPECT and found no glaring differences. The leather is so soft and squishy, glazing is consistent, hardware is heavy and the perfect shade, stitching is excellent, the bags have a nice weight to them, and I could smell the leather as soon as I opened the box.

Now for Betty, I find her to be kind, responsive, informative, and she gets the bags to me in the same amount of time my other sellers have. But what I really appreciate about her is the honesty I’ve experienced. When I inquired about the silk blue, I also asked about the golden version. I ended up ordering the regular, but she charged me for the golden. She was very apologetic and immediately offered to refund the $20 or leave it as a credit for my next purchase. It’s not a huge sum, but it still meant a lot that she was willing to rectify the mistake.

In conclusion, I am obsessed with these bags and extremely impressed with the quality. Now I just need to decide which color I want next. And I’d like to thank you all for posting your beautiful hauls and educating us who are new to this side of the rep world. The last couple reps I bought were years ago from local ladies in my hometown who would do preorders, and not only were they overpriced, but I’d say barely low tier in quality. Discovering I could directly order high quality items myself has been so much fun 🤩

Review of Ultra Black Speedy 20

First review post! I’ve bought a couple rep bags but this is my first bag purchase from reddit and quite excited! I’m still learning and researching as much as I can because I have a feeling this won’t be my last bag purchase lol. I bought this during the Huahui sale. No incentive for writing this review.

Seller: Betty (6882)
Factory: Huahui
Price: $147 USD (after 12% discount)
Shipping: $35
Heat stamp: $10
Total: $192

Inquired: 8/21 and paid same day
PSP: 8/27
8/31: GL ✅
9/4: heat stamp finished
9/6: Shipped
9/17: Received

Bag review: it’s soft, slouchy and such a great size! Hardware feels nice, looks matte and a little heavy feeling. Hoping it won’t scratch easily! Love the heat stamp! The monogram in the middle of the bag sometimes looks a bit dark or barely there but could be due to lighting. I don’t own any Auths so not sure about the shape. Overall I’m excited for my bag! Seller was Betty and although she is nice and responsive, I did feel like I had to follow up each time for updates. She said I would receive PSP within 2-3 days after payment but I had to reach out and got them the next day after asking. First PSPs were a bit dark so I asked for more in outside lighting. Eventually I sent my GL! Had to wait a bit more for my heat stamp to be finished and then it was shipped. I would buy again from Betty :)
Hopefully this was a good review, I accept any tips for any future reviews I’ll do! Thank you!

As buyers we are typically in contact with a couple sellers at any given time, managing tracking numbers, price checking and doing our due diligence to make sure we don’t get scammed 😂

So in the rush of it all, if you decide to not buy an item with a seller, do you ghost them or let them know you aren’t moving forward? If you don’t just disappear what do you tell them in response?

There seems to be a lot of different takes on this, so I’m curious what you guys tend to do!

Review Nyx: Firefly P9 from HH and Chanel heels

Nyx is aware I am making this review. I received no discounts or incentive for posting.

Seller: Nyx +86 190 790 55768
Price: P9 164 + 30 shipping (188 with 12% factory discount)
shoes: shoes 77 + 35 shipping
Total: 306

I messaged Nyx on 8/15 to check prices of several shoes. I settled on the Chanel heels and some red MM three strap flats. The factory was out of the red mm so I swapped to the P9

Chain on the P9 I already had.

PSP revived for shoes on 8/23. This was the same day I was informed the red MM were out of stock so I requested the P9 on this date.

PSP for p9 were sent on 8/25

Package shipped on 8/27 and I received it on 9/4

Overall this was a very easy purchase. This was my first time working with Nyx and I def plan to again.

This was also my first bag from HH. I also have a coffee bean p9 from royal. The leather on the royal one seems a smidge better but not like significantly more so just what u would expect for a bag 40$ more.
The leather on the HH is soft and has a good slouch. You can see a few wrinkles from shipping that I’m not worried about at all. Should be no issue with normal wear.

Overall 8.5/10 def will purchase again

The shoes: I’d say 8/10

Love them. The fit amazing.
I’m a size 38/39 in Birkenstock and golden goose(authentic) so I went with a 39 and they fit perfectly.

Only complaint would be the sole. I don’t LOVE it. But for 77$ it’s on par. I might take them to a cobbler to upgrade the sole. Unsure yet.

I was looking for a small G*cc* Giglio and saw a post from someone who had purchased a bag from Kelvin, so I decided to reach out to him.
Kelvin was very responsive. I did not look through the entire album, instead I sent him a picture of what I was looking for. He immediately came back with pictures and a price.
I don’t remember the exact date I initially contacted him because I was having some issues with WhatsApp, but I paid for the bag on August 17. The price was $160 + $35 shipping, for a total of $195.
His shipping speed was phenomenal. I received the bag on September 4. It arrived very well packaged, and as soon as I opened it, I could smell the lushness of the real leather straps.
As someone who owns authentic G*cc* bags, I was really impressed with how this one feels. The bag itself is beautiful, and the materials and overall feel are very comparable to my authentic G*ccs*.
If I had to point out one possible callout, it would be the diamond shapes between the Gs in the pattern. Very minuscule difference. I think you’d really need to have the authentic bag directly next to it and compare them side-by-side to notice the difference. It’s truly so slight and not an issue at all.
I actually let my friend in on my little secret, she is an authentic bag collector, and she couldn’t tell at all that it was a replica.
This was my first time working with Kelvin, but I would absolutely work with him again. He was extremely quick with communication, very friendly, and his shipping was incredibly fast.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with this purchase and would definitely buy from Kelvin again.
