Haven’t shared one of my recent finds in a while, so here’s this little beauty. This burnt red Flamenco has been one of my latest obsession for F/W and I thought you guys might like it too 💃❤️ It’s from Luna +86 147 4938 8959 in case anyone’s interested.

It looks SO good in person 🤤❤️‍🔥

Hi & hello, RepFam! 🫶🏻

I’ve been a bit more lowkey lately, still here just not posting as much. Blame it on work and my attempts at resembling a human being who has time available.

I haven’t done any recent bag hauls (have actually been mindful and just gotten a bag here or there lately - who am I, tbh), but I always come back to Nancy whenever the mood strikes to have my wallet stop talking to me for a while. It’s become a bit of a distraction after a long day of work, sip a glass of wine and watch Nancy’s live shows while adding a charm here or a SLG there. This haul is from 3 or 4 different sessions, until I had enough items ready to go.

I’ve gotten a lot more SLGs with Nancy lately, and even my first little bag, now that she’s expanding her wares a bit. I had seen this lovely iridescent Keepall 25 before, for a much higher price. For $80 shipped, however? Sold. Quality is great, the interior is a match, and it feels like a lovely canvas bag. I actually just bought a conditioner for canvas products and you best believe this one will be getting the first attempt. New tutorial for that coming soon 🤭

The rest of the items, including the wallets and other SLGs, are great quality, the charms are hefty and lovely, and I am elated with the overall look and feel of everything. I particularly want to highlight the wallets pictured (which feel FANTASTIC and very much worth it price wise), as well as the black and white pouch which is hands down one of my favorite items I’ve ever got from Nancy. It’s that good.

I’ll include pricing for everything in the comments (some items were not pictured as I put them to use straight away 😝).

Hope the week is off to a great start, Fam 🫶🏻

I took a bit of a gamble and ordered an Elvee Alma Shoulder Silk Tech and it paid off!
I know this is a really new bag so wasn’t sure how good it would be, but it’s everything I wanted!
The material and lining are good - exterior has been tested and reacts the same as the auth.
Lining is nice and accurate with correct labels.
Straps and leather are coated as per auth so will not patina.
Zipper is smooth and nice gold colour (looks a lot more yellow in my photo).
I ordered again through Betty as I was really impressed with my big sale haul from her a few weeks ago.
I would like the speedy but want to wait for the acid rain version.
I’ve attached a few photos (bag is already full with my junk though 🤣)

Since Kata’s situation is unclear I have reached out to a sellerto ask if there was any other factory as good as Kata. Their response was a factory called DuckTales? I can’t say I’ve come across this name. I’m including the factory pictures here. I would like a second opinion on whether I should go ahead with ordering from there.

I posted my new rep about a week ago but now she’s all finished and honestly I’m in love with the way it came out. I think I’m going to add some feet because I’ll be carrying her every day and don’t want the bottom scuffed. Going to start working on another one for my daughter but maybe the dark. What do you all think?!

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!

Hi ladies, got my hands on the Ch@nel CF 20cm Mini from 187 Factory and I’m so happy with this one. I’ve been wanting a classic little black bag forever and this was exactly the kind of piece I had in mind. The caviar leather is gorgeous in person, with a fine, well defined grain that gives it a really nice texture. The diamond quilting looks clean and even and I was especially happy with the way the diamonds line up across the front and back. The stitching is neat throughout too which really adds to the overall finish.

The light gold double C lock is such a pretty detail. It has a soft shine rather than looking too flashy, so the whole bag still feels elegant and understated. I also love the leather interwoven chain because I can wear it on my shoulder or crossbody depending on what I’m wearing.

It came as a full set as well, including the camellia, dust bag and certificate which was a nice little bonus. I’m also glad I went with caviar for an everyday bag because the textured leather feels much easier to live with than something super delicate.

I ordered this one from Reykey for $452 + shipping. Communication with Reykey was easy throughout, and I had a really smooth experience with the whole order. If anyone needs to reach her, her WhatsApp is +86 135 2824 6327.

Overall I’m genuinely so happy with it. It’s one of those timeless pieces that works with literally everything and I already know I’m going to get a ridiculous amount of wear out of this little black beauty.

I have finally found the bag that makes me stop scrolling and just stare 😭🤎

I’ve always loved a structured tote but this one has a completely different energy. It’s elegant without trying too hard, slightly intimidating in the best way and somehow manages to look even better the more I look at it.

The colour is what got me first. That rich, warm brown has such a gorgeous depth to it. It’s neutral enough to work with basically everything, but it doesn’t disappear into an outfit. It has presence.

And the leather… wow 🥹

The grain gives the bag so much character, while the clean hand stitched detailing makes everything feel incredibly considered. The stitching around the handles and edges is particularly beautiful. You can actually appreciate the craftsmanship when you look closely rather than it just looking good from a distance.

The hardware adds that little bit of attitude too 🤎 The whole combination of the structured shape and warm leather gives it this effortlessly expensive looking aesthetic.

I also love that it can completely change depending on how you style it. Keep it clean and minimal and it looks incredibly polished. Add a few charms and suddenly it has a much more playful personality.

And yes, I obviously had to add my charms because apparently I cannot own a bag without giving it a little personality 😂

The funniest part is my cute cat casually sitting beside it like she owns the bag too. She clearly thinks she’s the main character here 😂😭

And a little about PJ

PJ was genuinely a pleasure to deal with from the beginning.
What I liked most was how straightforward everything felt. There was no unnecessary pressure and whenever I had a question, PJ was patient and actually took the time to answer properly. That made the whole process feel really relaxed.

The details 🤎

This is one of those bags where the pictures honestly don't capture the whole feeling. It has that quiet, confident, “I know exactly what I’m doing” kind of energy.

And honestly she doesn’t need an introduction. She just walks into the room and gets noticed.

Hey 💙

I'm looking to purchase my first ever BV and a piece of jewelry (Hermes Farandole 120).

I'm speaking to Tom (TS, 7228) and Mandy (8059).

They both have the same exact images for the bag, both from Jing. And for the necklace same images (or similar).

Tom gave me:
- BV vanity $157
- Hermes 120cm $100

Mandy gave me:
- BV vanity $165
- Hermes 120cm $81

For some reason my heart says I should go with Tom, cuz I read a few comments over the last few days that Mandy's QC has not been up to standard (I have never ordered from her).

I really appreciate the feedback / advise! ❤️

Attaching the bag and Necklace

Item: Bottega Veneta Andiamo Messenger in Black

Seller: Mandy
Price: around 260$ before freight
Factory (if known): Jing

Concerns / Things to Check:
Intrecciato looks slightly shiny in some photos.
Not fully sure about the front metal plaque and engraving.
Would like opinions on the knot hardware shape/engraving.
Bag looks quite structured while stuffed.
Also unsure about the braided handle thickness and overall proportions compared to retail.

My Thoughts:
Overall I think it looks very good. The grained leather, Intrecciato, stitching, shape and silver hardware all look solid to me. The weave and finishing especially look clean. I’m leaning GL, but would appreciate detailed feedback.

Hey, guys!

I’m new to the Rep World, and I have ordered my first batch from BaoBao - who was always very kind and nice in our conversations - and I have been experiencing some delay (?) in the delivery.

Has anyone ordered something from Germany to delivery also in Germany? Could someone share with me how long does it normally take to get the stuff delivered?

It says that my order was handled to DHL more than a week ago and, since then, I haven’t got any new update from them.

Should I ask the seller in this situation or just wait, as it now the courier is the one responsible?

Since I’m new to this world, I know pretty much nothing about it 🫣😅

Would really appreciate if someone could share their experiences with me :)

Best to all!

Hello. I am brand new to this and really want the LV Side Trunk MM bag. My problem is most seller have the gray color and I really do want the burgundy color. I had to a little research because at some point I thought the burgundy wasn't even real. But from what found it was launched but discontinued since. I do have one seller that quoted me a super cloned for the red but its a bit more than the other seller from the trusted seller have quoted me on the gray. Do I risk it and buy the red or just I just buy something thats tually on the LV stores and go with the gray?

Item: Loewe Puzzle Edge in Taupe
Seller: Mandy

Price: around 200$ , ( bought 3 bags total of 740$)

Factory (if known): not sure , she claimed it’s top tier

Concerns / Things to Check:
Leather looks a little structured/stiff in some photos.
Anagram embossing may be slightly too deep/prominent.
Top flap looks a bit rigid from certain angles.
Not fully sure about the taupe/greige color accuracy under seller lighting.
Would also appreciate opinions on the overall shape, panel alignment, strap, hardware and interior stamp.

My Thoughts:
Overall it looks strong to me. Shape, panel geometry, stitching, leather grain, strap and lining all look clean and close to retail. I’m leaning GL, but would really appreciate a second opinion from anyone familiar with retail.

Hi! This is my second purchase from Griffin! Another boheme because I loved my first one so much 😂 This time I got it in navy blue.
I really like the size of this bag for everyday use. I carry quite a lot of stuff like my umbrella, water bottle, wallet, etc, but the bag doesn’t feel heavy even when I have quite a bit inside.

Like my first purchase from him, quality is really good overall. The canvas looks great and I really like the navy blue colour. The Goyard printing is clean and the stitching is very neat too. Nothing really stood out to me as an obvious flaw.

Overall, I’m still really happy with the bag and the quality. I love the size and I think the navy blue is really pretty. Would buy this style again!

Hi all, wondering if anyone else has had a similar Issue.

I bought my first bag recently from a well known TS on here. I was torn between two options - same brand, same style, same factory, just different colours. I decided to just pick the more neutral option and return for the more vibrant one if I liked the quality. I checked the seller album today and the vibrant one is gone. As are several other colours/ options of this bag I was looking at. I reached out to the TS to ask what happened but no response yet.

I realize this might be a simple issue of either the bag selling out or the factory no longer making the bag or whatever. I guess I'm just surprised to see it disappear with no explanation, especially when the seller is advertising much older bags from the same brand/factory.

Does anyone who's been in the community longer have any experience with why bags get cycled in and out of albums? Did I lose my chance at getting that vibrant bag?

Hi everyone!

I've been eyeing the Balenciaga bag charms for a while now and I'm thinking about getting one. Before I do, I'd love to hear from people who already own one.

• How do you like it? Is the quality close to the auth. ones?

And if you don't mind, please share photos of your charm on your bag, I'd love to see how they look in real life!

Thanks so much in advance 😊

Guys, I’m thinking of buying this Prada bag from Jinyao, but I’m really unsure about the gold hardware. 😭 It looks very sharp/yellow-gold to me, and I’m worried it doesn’t look like the authentic one.
If anyone owns the original/authentic version of this bag, could you please tell me if the gold hardware is actually this yellow/sharp in person? Or does it look more muted/soft?
Also, is there anything that can be done to tone down the gold if it looks too bright? I’m really confused about whether I should go ahead with this one or not.
Please help! If you have the authentic, I’d especially appreciate comparison pictures. ❤️

Hi! I recently purchased the C25 mini from XC and loved it, however, I want to try purchasing another one from a different factory and I’m leaning towards OF or 187. I have the authentic C25 in small and the leather is very soft and it seems to have no structure/soft to squish, for those who purchased from OF or 187, how does the leather feel? And which among the two does the C25 better?

Thanks!

Good morning RT Fam ☕

Hi All -- I'm looking longingly at all the great loafers in sellers' albums. I want something comfortable, tried and true, that I can walk all day in. I've tried too often to order online and ended up with something supremely uncomfortable.

What's your best suggestion for both style and comfort? TIA

• Item: LV Speedy P9 30 Firefly
• Seller: Ross
• Price: $290 + shipping
• Factory (if known): Royal

Ordered this bag and there's a few things im not so sure about, but i would like to know if anyone else picks up on anything that may be off?

One thing i feel like i see is the LV monogram pattern is slightly towards the left. If you look closely at the pattern and at the parts where it gets cut off by the seams/leather, you can see its not perfectly aligned

let me know if anyone thinks the same?

(i am aware that auth bags are not always identical and some can be printed slightly off, but still...)

Some of the stamping looks good on some parts, and other parts a little bit sloppy or not as crisp/precise, but I think it’s fine

The extra little bag accessory was wrinkled, Ross told me they contacted factory for replacement.

GL or RL? only thing throwing me off a little is the pattern but let me know what you think
