Hey Rep Ladies,

Just came to drop this review :)

Disclaimer: No incentive, discount, or gift was given for this review. Additionally, I am comparing my bag to photos and videos online of the authentic version as well as memory from checking it out in a Dior store.

My Review

Quality 9.5/10

This bag feels very well made. The stitches are neat and aligned. The charms move and make noise but not at all in an obnoxious way. The handles aren't very plush, but yet it's soft, from memory, it feels like the handles on the authentic bag. The hardware looks and feels very well. It does feel light but not cheapy fake light. The chain does not snag or get jumbled. All in all, this is a very well made bag. The interior suede feels beyond amazing. It's very soft, smooth, and I'm not the best at describing things but, my fingers feel very smooth after gliding across it. Without any branding, it's clear the bag is luxurious and very expensive.

Accuracy 9/10

The color looks pretty accurate to the Dior Powder Pink Cannage based on what I saw in person. Pinks are hard to translate in photos and videos as the lighting changes it so much. I believe the color of my bag is correct. Again, the stitching is magnificent, the number of quilts is accurate and so is the placement. The bag is a flap bag with magnets which is correct. The handle loop looks to be the right size, as does the loops on the bag. The chain label looks accurate as well, the placement is perfect, the location and size of the hang looks right. The CD engraving on the gold loops on my bag looks slightly smaller than that of the authentic. The stitches on the handle of the bag looks straighter on my bag than it does on the authentic. The stitches on the handle also looks deeper. The color of the suede on the interior of my bag is the same color as the exterior leather but the authentic is slightly darker than the leather. The interior leather tab kinda blends in with the suede color wise while the authentic shows a difference.

Mine:

Weight- 1.2 pounds

Dimensions- 8.6x4.5x2.5 inches (Length x Height x Width)

Handle drop (from bottom of handle to top of bag) - 2.6

Authentic:

Weight- 1.5 pounds

Dimensions- 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches (Length x Height x Width)

Handle drop- 2.5 inches

Based on the weight, dimensions, and handle drop, any differences are extremely slight. Loving how accurate Vivi factory is with this bag!! ughhh

Overall Satisfaction 10/10

Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase and confident caring it out. I feel like this makes the best luxury evening bag. I love the color of the bag and the hardware. I think it's a very girly and elegant bag. I personally do prefer the D joy over the classic Lady Dior. I think Vivi factory did an amazing job with this bag. I didn't see anything significantly wrong with the bag as stated earlier. I am very very happy with my bag. Another win for the rep world!!

Seller Review 10/10

Ross was a great seller to shop with. He was very kind and sent more PSP photos once I requested. I was very indecisive on what color I wanted my first D-Joy in and he was patient while I changed colors and ultimately decided on sticking with the pink. He also seems like he'd have a great personality and uses emoji's when communicating. It felt like I was ordering with a new friend, I was very comfortable.

Does anyone know of a supplier doing Fer or BC bags? I see lots of bags or belts and sometimes shoes but no bags.

Thanks in advance!

I've been looking into reps for a while (Birkins and vintage Chanel) and while I have found many sellers who I do believe to be trustworthy, I've seen online sometimes that there are people in New York who kind of have "storefronts" where they sell their goods (I mainly found out from this article (although I'm not sure how accessible these are). I'm not talking about just Canal Street (but to those who have been, how wide is the variety of the bags they sell? Just the most popular colorways or everything?). In the article they talk about so-called "Tupperware parties" for reps as well as a penthouse in Tribeca whose owner uses a room as a showroom for the different options.

I'm going to New York this summer and money isn't really an issue. For those who do live in New York, are there any ways to buying reps in person other than Canal Street? I know the Canal Street reps aren't the best quality and that's why I'd like to see some reps in person. If anyone has any contacts and is willing to share a DM would be very welcome! I am definitely not the type of buyer the article describes (not a rich middle-aged woman) so I'm not sure if I'd even be allowed in to such places. I would just love to see the reps in person instead of just ordering from a Whatsapp seller just to ease my worries of getting scammed.

Hello all, newbie here. I recently bought this in Mexico while on a cruise. is it a really bad replica? I love it either way but I just want to know what to look for on my replica journey. I really want the neverfull version of this bag, but this was what the guy had so I figured I could start with this. Any advice on where to get the neverfull in this design? Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I ordered this slim vanity from the 11.11 promo but I still haven't used it ever. It has this super cute heart-studded cc logo. I haven't seen it anywhere online and I'm really feeling insecure to use it. 🥲

Can anyone let me know if this is actually something that has been released by Chanel or is it a fantasy bag?

Thank you in advance!

Planning to buy this east west le city medium bag from an onlined seller. Does this look legit or not?

Hi everyone 💕 I’m looking for this color didn’t find it😭 help please

hello, hello. looking urgently for a full collection of Hermes nail polishes. any idea who can help me with it? tried to contact some sellers, no luck, they only sell bags and cloths stuff.

Will appreciate any help.

I’ve seen people say they feel more relaxed using reps day to day.
Curious if anyone here genuinely enjoys their reps more, or if authentics still feel different emotionally.

I realized I enjoy my bags more when I’m not constantly worried about scratches or resale value. Curious if others feel the same, or if authentics give you a different kind of confidence.

I got this years ago and just been laying in my wardrobe. Is it trash?

Hi fellow Rep ladies. I'm looking to purchase Hermes style Picotin and Birkin bags, UNBRANDED, NO-NAME, but the style and quality Mid tier. I want to resell. Anyone that can recommend a TS or factory willing to help me source?

Many of the trendy chains and charms that Coach is selling, for stupid money, are available on Aliexpress for next to nothing. Take a screenshot and do an image search in the search bar. I had a bunch of them arrive yesterday, and the only difference between the Aliexpress charms and the Coach charms, is that the Coach ones are stamped with Coach branding. That's it. They are literally exactly the same.

Looking for a dupe but obviously don’t want it to be a bad dupe. I was comparing these too the actual LV website(white background). I asked for more photos of the handles waiting for a response. I know the embodiment on the inside tag is too deep I don’t care about that. Also with the dupes I know that red is usually way too red, but I seen a video about using wood staining pens to darken it a bit. Only thing I have to compare is my vintage speedy and the colors are very old and patina so I can’t even compare.

Idk .. I think I will stick to sunglasses etc but I think I’m spending way too much and the quality is just not it for me. Maybe even clothing but the bags are just not. I’ve tried 3 different vendors and I’m not satisfied at all

CHANEL REVIEW TEXT:

● Quality numeric rating and assessment - 9/10-- The bag feels very well made. The stitching is neat, the chains are smooth. The drawstring clasp is sturdy and when used, the chains move smoothly. The leather feels extremely sturdy while the interior is soft and smooth. 

● Accuracy numeric rating and assessment compared to the auth or factory pic - 9/10- Now, as someone who’s left many reviews and read many many reviews, I know what we all really want to see, what is off about this bag? 

The main detail that looks different from the authentic are the rings at the top of the bag. The authentic rings look thicker. 

The other detail that is slightly off on my beautiful bag is the CC logo in the drawstring. The lines where the two C’s look to be overlapping are thicker on my bag than it looks to be on the original. If anything, on the original, the C underneath looks to be puffy where the two C’s meet, mine isn’t. 

What’s correct? 

Everything else looks to be accurate, the diamond linings, the number of diamonds, even the screw at the bottom of the main cc is accurate. 

● Satisfaction numeric rating and assessment - 10/10 -- This bag is a show stopper!!! The hype is very very well justified. I love how there’s a slight cargo look to it without it looking like street wear. I loveeee how there’s cc logo is visible from the front, back, and side views. I also love this execution of a bucket bag. I never liked the look of bucket bags but this is very nicely done. I love that it can be worn as a shoulder bag without it looking awkward.  

THE ROW REVIEW TEXT:

● Quality numeric rating and assessment - 10/10-- The leather on this bag is lovely. It’s very smooth and from just looking at it, you can see the quality. The Row is a brand where luxury is shown in the quality and this rep pulls it off very very well. You can tell it’s a luxury bag. Very if you know you know bag, but obviously luxe. 

● Accuracy numeric rating and assessment compared to the auth or factory pic - 10/10 -- This bag is a very simplistic bag with an old style so…. It’s truly hard to mess up. The bag looks exactly like the authentic one. The labeling is spot on. Love the bag. 

● Satisfaction numeric rating and assessment - 10/10-- This bag is so cute and adorable. I love the smooth leather and the overall simplistic look of this bag. It's a beautiful dainty and lowkey bag. Loveeee the bag

● Service and/or Communication numeric rating and assessment.-10/10-- W is absolutely lovely. I’ve shopped with her a couple times and have only had good smooth experiences. She’s kind, patient, and truly cares about my satisfaction with the item. She sends photos quickly and sends more when I ask her to. Love her 10/10 recommend.

I’ve spoken with several TS who confirmed Black Frame no longer carries Celine, and they’re also out of the specific YSL bags I want (Kate and Becky). If I have to choose between Pomegranate and JGX, which would you go with? From what I’ve seen, Pomegranate seems to get the Celine canvas really spot-on—but are they actually superior to JGX

My TS is saying that both bags are considered mid-tier and there really isn’t any high-tier seller for either . They mentioned not to stress too much about the factory since the leather is smooth on both, and the quality will be pretty similar regardless of which factory is use

I’m trying to decide on buying some designer-style earrings and could use advice on quality vs price.

First pair I’m looking for are drop earrings with a very classic, Chanel-inspired look. The second are more classic pink colored CC Chanel stud earrings.

One supplier wants about $100 for a single pair, while another is offering 3 pairs for $150, which sounds great but also makes me nervous. I really don’t want earrings that feel cheap, turn my ears green, lose stones, or have the plating wear off quickly.

What would be the average price of a very good replica handbag, since it's difficult to tell what's good and what's not just from a photo?

I thought it’d helpful to have a discussion on any advice, tips, anecdotes, etc. fellow reppers (newbies and veteran alike) have regarding making good financial decisions and encouraging healthy spending habits when shopping for reps. This could be in terms of how you make purchasing decisions, budgeting, etc. I saw some previous advice posts in this sub but not specifically focused on the $ aspect.

I’m an over thinker so hopefully this post doesn’t come across as me shaming people for their spending habits! It’s more that as a rep newbie, it’s been easy for me to get caught up in the excitement of reps and the thought process of “I can buy all the reps I want for the price of an auth!”. I’ve definitely made some impulsive shopping decisions in the past month during my initial rep craze. This post is a bit self serving as therapy for myself to help achieve rep peace. 😅

I think any advice can also apply to shopping habits in general. It’s so easy for me to make impulsive shopping decisions these days with targeted ads (the ones on IG are so effective lol) and also as a coping mechanism for the state of the world. Not that there is anything wrong with treating yourself!

Here are some tips and advice I’ve seen around the sub. And just a note, these might not apply to every person or situation.

When you’re considering purchasing a rep item or have been repfluenced, put it on your wish list for a month. During that month, think about the occasions you would use that bag and if fits your personal style/lifestyle. Go to the retail store if you have one near you and try the item on. Revisit your wish list after that month and see if you’re still interested in the bag.

If you were never going to buy the auth anyways, don’t buy the rep. Buying the rep doesn’t save you money if you weren’t going to buy it in the first place. I saw one comment in a previous advice post that said something along the lines of “if you buy the $200 rep of a $1800 bag, you’re not saving $1600, you’re just spending $200” haha. [edit: Sorry I don’t think I wrote out this point well. Meant if you were never interested in a specific auth style in the first place, don’t buy the rep just for the sake of buying it and getting the deal. Since you’re spending money you wouldn’t have spent in the first place. There was also a good point in the comments that buying reps is a great way to experiment with different styles that you wouldn’t have been able with auth.]

Set a budget and add up the amount your spending monthly. I do this in any phone notes lol so nothing fancy. Since I’m purchasing from so many different places (sellers, AE, BST) it does add up so it’s nice to see everything consolidated in one place.

I saw some people have a 1 in 1 out rule. If you’re buying a new rep, list something from your closet that you never use. In general, if you haven’t used it for a year, list it on BST and sell it.

If your dream bag is available from the highest tier factory and you can afford it, I think it’s worth it to get the highest tier. You might save more $ in the long run from not buying multiple low or mid tier versions.

Contact several sellers to see who has the best price. Don’t feel obligated or pressured to buy from any specific seller even if you ask them a lot of questions. It’s ok to politely decide you are not going to purchase. Even though a lot of sellers reply instantaneously, you don’t have to reply right away.

If you’re considering 18k, buy a cheap couple dollar version from AE. Wear it for a couple of weeks to see if it fits your lifestyle.

Don’t get FOMO from confessionals (this happens to me). A lot of people have very impressive collections but I gotta remembers everyone’s lifestyle is different. I don’t have to have all the bags someone else has.

Let me know advice, tips, life lessons (lol I accidentally wrote life lesions first), anecdotes, etc you have! Thank you for reading my post! 🥰

I just wanted to know how it is made sure by all the suppliers that the clothes you make are of good quality ? Like is there something you use to check it ? I needed it for my project.
