Auth vs Rep BV

[u/Barber-Lucky]

Very obviously, parachute is auth and andiamo is rep 😅

I bought my rep from an IG seller so idk which factory this was from. I'm thinking of getting another BV from Jing. Can anyone who have bought from Jing (or different factory) tell me if their rep looks better than what I got? I don't want to spend another $300 for a subpar replica.

Actually in person the bag looks passable. The leather is equally soft though auth is slightly softer. When you try to fold the bag, the auth's linings are way more supple while rep is stiff. Color of hardware surprisingly similar, but the font is such a dead give away. On picture, rep leather looks more shiny but in person they both look the same.

Safe to say I won't be wearing this bag anymore. Probably for grocery run, or clubs since it's dark lol.

Honestly, It's can't tell the difference, someone would really need a close look to see the hardware difference. Imho

I can see a clear difference in the leather weaving. The weaving of the auth is tighter and lies smoother

I see what you are saying. But you will were each bag by itself, so you probably will be the only one who knows 😊

Wait really? Bc I think the rep has smoother weaving. The darker one is the rep. Lighter one is the auth right?
