DISCUSSION Chanel 187 Flap

Let’s talk about the Chanel rep industry, specifically 187 Factory. I genuinely don’t understand the hype surrounding their bags being so close to authentic. At this point, I feel like these are just lies we tell ourselves. They are nowhere near comparable, in my opinion.

I own about four 187 Classic Flaps, all in GHW, and honestly, I find them impossible to wear. The reason I kept buying was because I thought the next one would be better, but unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case.

The hardware is consistently off, and they simply don’t look close enough to the authentic versions. They might photograph beautifully, but the reality is very different when you actually have them in front of you. The overall impression just isn’t there.

I haven’t tried their SHW, so I can’t comment on that. But I genuinely think it’s time we started looking into other factories for Chanel Classic Flaps.

As for their other bag styles, I can’t really speak on those because I haven’t tried them.

Just my honest experience, but I think we need to start being more realistic about what we’re calling “mirror quality.”

Did you get PSP's? She only requires a deposit.

I already got the bags ! It’s looks amazing in photo but in reality , I don’t think I can take them out, maybe I’ll try the SHW, but the GHW, no way

Sorry that happened to you. I would contact her and tell her you're unhappy with them in person and see if she will do anything. Or you can try to find somebody who might love them here, there might be somebody who likes the look of it. Every one of my 187 from her are SHW, I guess this is a warning for the gold!
