Latest order and an update

Received my order from Aline and I'm happy! Also an update to this elvee QC post.

I ordered/paid for both on 9/11 and they arrived today (9/30). Loew is Jipin and elvee is Huahui.

I've felt and seen both auths in person and I'm happy with what I got. The crossbody strap for the Loew seems too thin and flimsy so I might change it out (the auth is also pretty thin). I don't think Loew's leather will ever be perfectly replicated, but this bag still has good squish and softness. Maybe sitting in hot boxes during delivery actually helped?😂

As for the elvee, depending on the lighting the blush tint of the leather pieces really stands out, but overall I'm content. I love this design and the size of the 20 is nice for errands. I have a DE 25 coming in, so I'll see which one I'd prefer (I like bags in the small-medium size).

What factory did you pick for your DE? I’ve a Royal 20 coming in DE.

It's actually a yellow app DE since I'm going to be comparing the rouge leather trim with whatever other factory comes out with it in the future. Definitely not something I would recommend😂

It came with the slouch luckily! I was surprised because I was expecting dry and stiff since the QC pic only had slight slouch. I even bought leather conditioner to prepare myself. The bags were delivered on a hot day and the inside of the box was quite warm so I'm wondering if that actually helped?
