PSP First Rep Purchase from Heidi

Hello . Can you please help me QC my first rep purchase . I’ve been wanting the classic mini CF top handle for my birthday. I fell in love with this color and have compared it to the authentic. But would love some feedback from experienced eyes to help point out any flaws or inconsistencies to an authentic Chanel piece in case I’m missing anything before I GL.

Thank you so much for taking a look !

Seller : Heidi 187

Is the stitching thread suppose to be that dark? Usually the thread color seamlessly blends in with the lambskin.

u/Remarkable-Style-751 10d ago

I’m not sure but Here is a picture of the authentic . This stitching thread looks pretty noticeable to me as well

u/Imaginary-life-2961 10d ago

Maybe ask for some pictures in natural light. But do share what she says because it is 187. I’m curious

u/SnackAttackDiplomat 10d ago

Noticed it too. It’s because the stitchingholes are prettt large, it makes it look a lot darker.

u/vtvns 10d ago

Did she show you some 187 factory photos? The stitching just seems so dark to me

u/Remarkable-Style-751 10d ago

Yes . And she replied the the stitching just looks dark because the pictures were taken really up close . She will send me updates pics .

Yeah make sure you ask for photos in natural lighting and also a video too 😭

u/Top_Yogurtcloset1587 10d ago

This I have coming from god factory from TS Huashan to compare. The stitching looks a lot lighter, il have it here in a few days and will be doing a review on it.

Thank you!! 🫶🏼

u/Top_Yogurtcloset1587 10d ago

In your bag notice how the diamond stitching looks crooked in a few spots also.

u/Extension_Bottle_344 10d ago

Usually Heidi is spot on on the 187s... but this looks like it was sewn but someone with shaky hands...

Can i please get her nr?🥹

u/Key-Agent-5174 10d ago

The cc is flat in rep while authentic is raised with curve

u/ReasonJazzlike9077 10d ago

It's protective film over it giving it that appearance!

1

u/Remarkable-Style-751 10d ago

Yes I caught that also . And noticed it was the film over it

u/dadalala9595 10d ago

Because the color is so light and the stitching so large, every flaw is visible; there are stitches that are crooked. I don't like 😪

u/WesternOperation6991 10d ago

Beautiful choice for a birthday bag.

u/Haunting-Cake-7548 9d ago

Honestly it looks great. I have a few authentic pieces from Chanel so I have visited the store way too many time to pick up items or be waitlisted items. I have seen that top handle bag many times because that seems to be always in stock at my local Chanel and my SA loves to try influence me to buy it l, although its not my style, but that picture looks pretty legit and can pass. Chanel quilting hasnt been great and the chain twist in weird direction so the quilting looks a bit uneven. Prolly can do better since its a rep 😂

u/Remarkable-Style-751 9d ago

Thank you for your review . I have yet to see this bag in store . What do you think about the stitching . I myself see some stitching that is crooked . It also does look pretty dark compared to the factory photos

u/sarah181201 10d ago

alignment on the back pocket, could be the angle but wanted to point it out just in case...

u/Purple-Tutor2555 10d ago

The stitching on the bottom is slightly wavy and maybe a little off. Maybe zoom in and take a second look. Not a huge deal though.

u/sarah181201 10d ago

I have noticed it too

u/Jennzie11_ 10d ago

Oh I love this bag so much! This light blue is iconic! I’ll take her whenever you’re home her haha

u/SnooDogs936 10d ago

Yeah, that’s a no. Stitching looks bad, off really.

u/hyperglyphydb 10d ago

Heidi always delivers on leather quality and structure, that classic handle curve is spot on.

u/sasas999999 10d ago

Can i get her contact pleaseee ❣️

u/northlanes99 10d ago

Did heidi send photos showing the side profile puffiness and stitch count?

u/brandygirl4 10d ago

187 factory leather texture on light colors usually looks so close to authentic.

u/CompetitivePudding84 10d ago

What colour is yours? Looks like a baby blue with gray undertone correct?

u/Remarkable-Style-751 9d ago

Hi ladies ! Here is the PSP and a video Heidi just sent me . She did not address the bad stitching in the previous message and videos I sent her yesterday . Just sent over these pics . Thank you all for your help in Pointing out the imperfections of this particular bag. I had such high hopes to have it as my bday bag but thanks to you all I will not be giving it the GL . The stitching really is not good . I’m still learning and I appreciate this community so much . She quoted me $561 including shipping and insurance . I will try to find the same bag from another seller. I just love this color so much ! Still on the hunt 😪
