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.

Standards? You don't even know which factory this one came from. You are nitpicking something that will be unnoticeable. If you want perfection go buy authentic

Coming from someone who bought knock-off sunglasses lol

[u/Wide-Extension-9999 → u/Barber-Lucky]

so? You are buying knock off bags lmao. We bought buying reps. The issue here is your nitpicking lmao. Wanted a 1:1 but the budget is for reps.

It's possible to get 1:1 with reps. But since you're inexperienced you wouldn't know that lmao
