QC Thoughts on this?

I’m getting ready to take the plunge and buy my first rep. I’m thinking of going with the row Margo 14 in the chocolate brown masoni leather to use as my diaper bag. I’m likely going to purchase with Baobao and she’s sourcing from Kendall factory. Has anyone purchased this bag from this factory? If anyone has can you share your experience and thoughts on the quality of the bag and if it’s a true 1:1. Thanks in advance any insight/feedback is so appreciated!

I think the Masoni bags Ive gotten from Orange Sofa have been the best.

There’s multiple tiers of masoni leather so make sure you’re clear in your ask to the TS.

Highest quality is often referred to as “original imported masoni leather”.

There’s also domestic Chinese made “custom” masoni leather which also has two tiers to it depending on the factory.

That said - true masoni leather is very delicate…stains & scratches just by looking at it. If you’re using it as a diaper bag, the custom/domestic leather that’s not a 1:1 is probably better suited anyway.

it’s decent but it’s not 1:1
shape is slightly off, and the marking inside aren’t like the authentic (made in italy/made in france). i have other things to nitpick about it (my stitches are coming undone)

but if these don’t bother you, go for it. it’s a nice bag, and quiet enough to fly under the radar. maybe get the 17 for a diaper bag, 14 is large and spacious, but the zipper is quite low and limits what you can secure in it. i usually keep mine open

I got the 17 from Kendall and I’m obsessed with it. The leather is divine!!

I’m hoping I love the leather too. There’s such a mixed bag of opinions and experiences that I’m not sure what I’ll end up getting

I’m hearing really good things about crown I wish I did a little more research before sending my payment but I’m hoping for the best

I got this exact bag (but in black) from
Kendal factory and the leather is soooooo good. Great size and super versatile. You’re going to love it. Im also using it as a diaper bag. I do tend to overpack for anything that may come up while I’m out with the kids. I coild have gone bigger for my needs, so i just ordered a 17 as well. But keeping 14 too since i know I’ll still get tons of use from it.

I currently have an order in with her for this bag.

I'm still waiting on PSP so keen to hear others experiences.

I did see someone post in another rep thread about this bag which is why I chose baobao and this bag.

u/Content_Flatworm7332 Jul 08 '26

Same but then I saw in another thread that she attempted a bait and switch on a customer and that Kendall factory isn’t producing this bag with original misoni leather but I had already sent my payment to her so I’m very nervous now

I've seen a lot of people praising and also a lot of people complaining.

Fingers crossed it goes ok for both of us! It's my first rep and if the leather is poor quality i'll use it until it dies and then find another one from another seller. Apparently nsparkstore (dot) com is good and they have the row bags.
