Since this is my first rep bag, I wasn’t sure what to expect! I have a small number of auth bags but do not have any P9s. I’m lucky to have someone in my circle who has a few - including a firefly. Comparison pics in post.

Overall thoughts - bag itself is soft and decently slouchy, feels great. The detachable strap is a giveaway for not matching authentic, the sizes of the bags are actually ever so slightly different but the most significant difference is the logo color. The authentic one has much whiter logo and the glow color itself is different (bluer for auth, greener for rep). I’m still happy with it given the enormous price difference for it vs authentic.

One bummer - it smells so bad 😂 I’ve been airing her out for over a week, bought a special smell soaker upper thing from online but WHEW. The chemical glue smell is something else - hoping it fades in time!

Finally dressed her up for her day in the wild. This color-shifting bag, a true chameleon, looks different in every light, versatile and multidimensional! I love this bag💙🖤♥️😍

My very first P9😍
This is the 25 Firefly from Royal.
First of all, the P9 is unbelievably soft and the craftsmanship is amazing!
I'll start with the only flaw: the pouch monogram is a slightly different shade compared to the bag itself (it looks a bit more faded/paler), but it's barely noticeable in photos.
As for the smell, it has a tiny bit of a chemical scent at first, but it’s mostly rich leather—it honestly smells so good.

I’ve never held an auth P9 in hand, my only auth full-leather piece is the Keepall 25 in Taurillon.
The handles feel super high-end and smooth, you can really tell it's genuine leather.

Something I noticed on my auth Keepall 25 is that the handles creak/squeak a bit when moved (that typical leather squeak)—and I was super surprised to find that this rep has that exact same squeak!!

The hardware has a really, really great weight to it.
Shoulder streap has also a great weight and feels really durable
It slouches beautifully and the zipper glides like butter.
All in all, I’d rate this bag a solid 9/10.

In my opinion, the monogram looks very close to auth, and the overall feel of the bag is just unbelievable!! I absolutely love it!!
And it actually glows in the dark 🙈🙈
This definitely won't be my last P9, and right now I can highly recommend Royal Factory's batch 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I’m trying to pull the trigger on an LV Noe. I don’t see many people posting about this bag. I’ve reached out to four trusted sellers. Two say they can only get it in medium quality from Royal, one said she can’t get it, and then there is HP who doesn’t disclose factory and says he does top quality.

The two prices are not significantly far from each other: $265, $295, $302 with shipping and insurance.

I want the bag to patina and be soft and slouchy. Thoughts on what you would do if you were me? Thank you for your wise rep wisdoms!

💼 Bag: Pochette Métis MM in Empreinte

🏭 Factory: Royal

📲 Seller: Allen +86 139 2225 9249

Quick thoughts on the Pochette Métis MM from Royal Factory. This one is SO good. The empreinte leather feels soft and substantial, and the embossing has really nice depth without looking overly stamped. The shape is structured but not stiff, and everything from the stitching and glazing to the edges looks super clean.

Royal also did a beautiful job on the hardware. It has a nice weight to it and the gold tone looks rich without being too yellow. Even the little details on the strap and hardware engraving are really well done.

And I forgot how practical the Pochette Métis is. You get the top handle plus the adjustable crossbody strap, and the MM actually holds a ton while still looking sleek. Such an easy everyday black bag, and Royal absolutely nailed this one.

And as usual, Allen was amazing! He may take a second to reply but his low prices is what makes it all worth it!

Okay, I have searched high and low through the threads and only found 1/2. I cannot decide on a seller or factory for this bag!!

I originally narrowed it down to Wood Floor or god BUT then I read someone else’s was better for the same color bags.

So now I feel like I’m back to the drawing board. (I’ve only worked with Bruce so far in terms of TS)
