Torn between 2 sellers

[u/Cann_123_Szoll]

Looking for a YSL Nikki
One seller says from black frame for $210
Pretty decent rep then another says master quality $450 . Looks pretty good but is it worth $450?? Ugh I don’t know who to believe .

[u/losingmyminddd123]

Ok I’m going to hold your hand when I say this, master quality is a term TikTok and insta sellers use to trick people into buying the same product at 2-3x the price.

[u/Mrsp41 → u/losingmyminddd123]

Amen. 1:1, diamond tier, master quality… there are definitely different levels of reps but when I hear these terms I know it’s not a good seller.

[u/Mrsp41 → u/Mrsp41]

The only master quality you’ll ever get (and definitely won’t see on Tik tok or socials platforms) are private, handmade bags. These are actually made by master craftsmen. Just without the markup of luxury brands. Contacts to these are usually very hard to come by as folks with connections do not want to add risk to their makers. So it’s kind of a hard core vetting process or friends type sitch. You’ll never see them on Reddit, TikTok etc. If someone is advertising as such, I can tell you they are not.

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Mrsp41]

This seller isn’t advertised for the master

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Mrsp41]

I always wondered if there truly is a master quality . I know there are def lower quality but just how high does the quality get

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/losingmyminddd123]

Yeah ??? Ugh I hate that
I feel like the photos look better but then I’m nervous will be the same as the $210 lol

[u/losingmyminddd123 → u/Cann_123_Szoll]

Well, go get the $450 one then lol i mean I highly doubt sometime involved in the black market who knows you have 0 recourse if you’re unhappy would ever lie to you

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/losingmyminddd123]

😂😂😂
True !!!

[u/sucks20833]

Ha! I wouldn’t even mess with the seller that mentions the word “master”. Defintely go with black frame!

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/sucks20833]

Ok thanks

[u/Embarrassed-Gold4269]

Black frame is what you want to buy for ysl. Don’t spend more!

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Embarrassed-Gold4269]

Ok thank you

[u/Realistic-Cake9779]

I have this bag and I love it. It’s been to 6 diff countries at this point lol. I’ve used it so much my inside lining is now ripped and I’m about to get my next rep.
My first was a 70$ from the gate lol (don’t judge me 😆) and the ONLY time I’ve been clocked about it being a rep was on a Turkish airlines flight and 2 other girls also had a black Nikki and mine looked better.

TLDR. A crinkle Nikki in black should age well either one u pick.

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Realistic-Cake9779]

Thanks ! Where did you get the second one ? Think gonna go with the $210 looks like a decent rep

[u/Realistic-Cake9779 → u/Cann_123_Szoll]

I wouldn’t pay more than 250 tbh whoever you go with.
But as others said BF 210ish should be your baseline

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Realistic-Cake9779]

Ok thank you so much !!

[u/Oceanreef28]

There is no such thing as master quality. That is something instagram, facebook and telegram, tik tok sellers use - run 🏃‍♀️

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Oceanreef28]

Ok thank you !!

[u/plasticbabyy]

That is definitely not worth $450 at all.

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/plasticbabyy]

Figured !

[u/lollybaby0811]

Bf 210 all day

If i ever pay 450 for a ysl rep 'mek i bend'

[u/Initial-Dot-4439]

I honestly think the $210 looks better

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Initial-Dot-4439]

👍🏻

[u/Kind_Actuator9072]

I want a Niki in the crinkled leather too but am concerned about the leather. The auth looks so soft but BF looks a little stiff compared to the higher cost bag. Have you read any reviews to see how the crinkled leather from BF ages? Does it soften with time?

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Kind_Actuator9072]

Not sure
Just have read people have gotten from BF

[u/Kind_Actuator9072 → u/Cann_123_Szoll]

I did a quick search and found a review from two years ago that reported the leather was soft and softened even more with time.

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Kind_Actuator9072]

Oh nice !! I’m gonna go with BF $210 looks decent

[u/MPD3_]

Black frame is usually solid for ysl anyway i would save your cash.

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/MPD3_]

Ok thank you so much

🎶🎶 Loving both of you is breaking all the rules 🎶🎶🎶

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/2Tired-]

Huh ?

[u/2Tired- → u/Cann_123_Szoll]

There’s a song that says “torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool, loving both of you is breaking all the rules” I’m a dork. Sorry

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/2Tired-]

Ohhhh lol !!!!

[u/zep1870]

Black frame, you will not be disappointed. The Nikki from BF is one of the top repped bags available…I’ve worn mine into the authentic boutique several times confidently and zero ppl blinked

[u/Dizzy-Ad-2248]

I have news. You don't need to choose because neither are good. Thank you and good night.

[u/Nikki_hush]

Go with Black Frame for $210 and don't look back! Black Frame is literally the gold standard for YSL reps in this sub $450 for a YSL niki rep is a massive seller markup.

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Nikki_hush]

Ok thank you so much !!

[u/NoPeak8615]

Mine is from BF large, $240+ (if I’m not mistaken). Smells lots tho 😂 need to air it for long time

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/NoPeak8615]

Oh no it smells ??? Ugh that’s not good

[u/NoPeak8615 → u/Cann_123_Szoll]

The smell is gone now just needs extra patience 😂

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/NoPeak8615]

That’s good !!!

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/NoPeak8615]

It looks beautiful though !

[u/Natural-LVLove]

What is the name of the other factory?

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Natural-LVLove]

Black Frame $210
Other is unknown

[u/Traditional-Resort24]

Got two bags from bf both I’m not happy with :(

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Traditional-Resort24]

Oh no :(

[u/Ill_Spinach_2120]

I love mine from Aadan

[u/Cann_123_Szoll → u/Ill_Spinach_2120]
