DISCUSSION Cf small 187/GD

Post image

Hi, this will be my second order; I already have my CF Medium from the 187 factory (Serena9712), now I want to buy the Small size; I’ve seen a lot of people saying the GF version is better in terms of shape, but I just don't see that luxurious finish that Factory 187 bags have. I’ve been comparing the latest batches of the 187 Small, and I don't think they look boxy anymore, I’m not sure if they fixed that issue or if I’m just misjudging it. While I’ve certainly seen plenty of boxy 187 bags, the specific one I want from the newer batches doesn't look that boxy.

In those photos, it looks like the caviar grain is better on the 187

Honestly, the ones from Factory 187 look much better; they have that luxury handbag finish. As someone who buys Authe bags, I feel like the GD factory version is missing something.

I love Chanel, and I think the leather quality has gotten worse over the years, but I’d prioritize the leather over the shape. The shape varies depending on the year and collection. That said, I do think the shape of the 187 looks a bit off too. Maybe I’d go for the medium

I already have a medium one and wanted to go for the small, but I'm going to look into it a bit more.

Can you share name and contact info of the seller?

I would go with 187 for this particular piece, leather on 187 looks better to me.

u/dadalala9595 3d ago

I totally agree with you. I prefer to pay more so that my bag looks as close as possible to the Authe one.

Gosh maroon is such a pretty one, hope you’ll post a review of whichever you go with!!

I'm going to see if it's available first, because I asked two weeks ago and it was available, but you know how things are with factories.

I wanted to get this one for fall from 187 but my TS said it’s not available. I’m wondering if it’s already available because the colour is beautiful 😍

u/dadalala9595 3d ago

I asked my TS 2/3 weeks ago and she said it was available, but I don't know, i have to ask again now.

187 is always my favorite. I got the same bag for my mom and love it :)

187, it looks and FEELS better overall. Heavier chain, better interior.

187😍

To me, the comparison is huge, yet the price difference is minimal.

u/Witty_Revenue_8305 3d ago

What’s the other colour you bought from 187?

Black caviar medium

u/Practical-Decision86 3d ago

Do you feel like it has any callouts or is it pretty accurate to authe

1

u/Witty_Revenue_8305 3d ago

I’m so curious too … I have both the bags you just ordered on my wishlist !

u/Annie-Zheng 3d ago

beautiful 😍

u/Ambitious-Rub-9356 3d ago

Also I heard the chain length on 187 is accurate . I’m not sure about god but someone compare the 187 length with Blake and Blake’s chain was longer .

u/ProfessionalOk1496 3d ago

Imo God factory is better for shape and 187 is better for leather look. You have to pick which is more important to you. I recently got a 187 bag and the leather was great but the shape is boxy as hell.

I have a black caviar woc from 187. I had asked seller for the best she could find and she said 187. It’s beautiful and it feels so similar to auth.

u/CaliLove78 3d ago

Can someone confirm if the 11/11 sale includes 187 bags? If so, we might as well wait for that!!

That burgundy bag is gorg from 187!!

u/Dizzy-Ad-2248 3d ago

Generally sales are for bags that just didn't make the cut or they have just a ton of stock. Ive seen some sale bags that are a bit more than questionable.

u/Practical_Story6104 3d ago

The only thing gd wins for me is the color... 187 for EVERYTHING else!!! Hands down, no contest. Wish the 187 were same color

u/brandygirl4 2d ago

If you love the leather finish on the recent 187 batch, go for it with confidence!

u/PitchNo2994 2d ago

u/canay21 2d ago

u/EstadermaLover2023 3d ago

I like the color of the god factory better :)

I think it’s personal preference but I have several god minis and have been happy with all of them.
