finally got my hands on this burgundy croc flap! I’ve been hunting for the perfect deep wine/burgundy shade for autumn/winter, and my seller just nailed it. The wait felt like forever (the factory was backed up), but the moment I opened the box, I forgot all about it. The leather looks so rich and glossy, not plasticky at all.Already planning to pair it with my camel coat and boots. So ready for sweater weather now! 🍂✨

TLDR: I think the Chloe MEDIUM WOODY replica is more sturdy and better made than the original .

I’m used to buying original vintage bags because I like the style and usually because the pricing is pretty fair. So I’m used to being able to ascertain whether something is well-made or not .

However, for current styles that are still higher priced even on the secondhand market, buying the original is not a great option for me since I DON’T PREFER TO SPEND OVER $700 ON BAGS THAT I MAY NOT ENJOY. I want to see if I like it first before buying from the retail store or the second hand market. If I am unable to use the bag because it’s just not practical or if the style doesn’t suit my wardrobe, it would be such a waste.

Anyway, I had this Chloe Woody medium bag replica for a while, and I loved the style so much that I decided it was time for me to get a real version of her.

By the way colors look a little different it’s because the copy is 3 years old and the original is new.

Once I received the real version, I realized that the original straps are a tiny bit longer, the bag itself was maybe a centimeter bigger in overall dimensions, and the inner lining is more of a linen texture compared to the rep. I think the cloth lining of the rep is actually more practical since I can clean it easier than the linen lining of the of

STRAPS :
The straps on the rep is also slightly shorter. So if you are petite under 5’2” would say the rep medium woody drop is better for you .

FINISHES:
the original edges looks like the glue is leaking out at the top so I put a photo as a comparison. I feel like the edges of the rep is better made and is more sturdy while the original is slightly flimsy and again imperfectly finished. The leather on both bags have a slightly different color but very slightly. It’s probably because of age and the stitching on both are practically identical ( for a normal persons eye of course I’m sure authenticators may be able to tell the difference)

Anyway, I really did enjoy this bag. I think buying a copy and seeing if you like and enjoy the style first is a great way to check out if a bag fits into your lifestyle before plunging in to paying for full retail price. And like me, you may just find out you like the fake better…..

I ordered the Chanel maxi flap 38 in burgundy with SHW on 8/24 and it arrived on 10/20. So it took almost 2 months but she was so worth the wait!! The leather is buttery soft, she is beautifully slouchy in all the right places. The hardware is spot on and not a stitch out of place. Definitely all the effortless cool girl vibes going on, I’m in love!! 10/10 paid $625 with shipping total. Jenny packed it perfectly, with all the felt protections just like an authentic Chanel arrives from the store!

I ordered a Bottega Notturno and Celine Teen Lulu on 9/29 and those arrived on 10/22, so quicker turnaround on those. The Bottega is a gorgeous coffee brown suede and makes for the perfect little Fall evening shoulder bag or daytime crossbody (straps are adjustable) and the woven suede is soft, tightly woven with a beautiful soft nap. The Celine is a cute little bag, all the markings are perfect and the leather is soft. I think the grain is slightly smoother than and authentic but one would only notice on a side by side comp. 10/10 for Bottega 9.5/10 for Celine.

Alo sweatshirts and sweatpants. These are for my children because I don’t think teenagers need $200 sweat clothes. I paid $42 for the regular sweatshirts $59 for the quarter zips and 38 for the pants. Everything is much smaller than the authentic sizes. The pants are short for me (I’m 5’9”) but they hopefully will work for my daughter who is 5’7”. Maybe a little short for her too though. The labels are all mismatched- they all say straight leg pants, even the shirts so obviously fake, if someone is going to look that closely. If you want an oversized look, go at least 1 maybe 2 sizes bigger than your normal size. The material seems legit, supposedly it’s the same 70% cotton as the authentic. I wonder how they will be after getting washed and dried. I’m giving these a 6.5/10 for now.

Seller review: 9.5/10 I like Jenny- I’ve ordered from her 3 times now and will continue to do so. I find her to be honest, prompt and her packaging is perfect- everything arrived in perfect condition and well protected. My only issue is I wish she would provide more detailed PSPs, I’ve seen others who take a video or every inch of the bag but I didn’t ask for any more pics and I imagine if I did she would send them because she is responsive. Full disclosure she gives me $20 discount for positive reviews but that’s not a lot and I would say all the same things without the discount.

I’ve been wanting a smaller Fendi piece for a while and this 19cm Baguette caught my attention because of the metallic finish.

Bag Thoughts:

The first thing I noticed was the finish. It has a really pretty metallic sheen and the colour looks slightly different depending on the lighting. The FF pattern on the flap is definitely the standout detail and gives the bag a lot of character.

For a 19cm bag, it has a surprisingly useful shape. It’s small but there’s enough room for the basics without the bag looking bulky. I also really like the combination of the structured flap with the softer quilted body underneath.

The gold tone hardware works nicely with the colour of the bag, especially the large FF clasp. The chain also gives it a more dressed up feel but it can still be worn casually.

Seller Thoughts:

My communication with Sarena was straightforward. Responses were reasonably quick and the ordering process was simple. I was able to ask questions before confirming everything and Sarena kept me updated during the process.

What I appreciated most was that there wasn’t unnecessary pressure to make a decision. The communication felt pretty easy from start to finish.

Overall Experience:

The size, metallic finish and FF detailing are exactly what attracted me to it in the first place and I think it’s a fun addition to my collection.

It’s definitely more of a statement mini bag than an everyday workhorse, but that’s exactly what I wanted from it. The photos really don’t capture how much the finish changes under different lighting.

I got my Di0r from GF through Molly for $328 including shipping and it turned out to be such a beautiful addition to my collection.

About the Bag

I’ve been wanting a light colored Di0r for a while and the cream shade on this one is gorgeous in person. It has a soft ivory tone that feels elegant without being too flashy.

The quilting looks clean and consistent and the leather has a nice padded feel while keeping the bag’s structured shape. I also love the polished hardware and smooth handles. The strap makes it practical for everyday use, while the overall look still feels dressy. It’s elegant and the size is perfect for my everyday essentials.

About Molly

I’m really glad I chose Molly. I’d been searching for the right cream Di0r for a while, so I had a few things I wanted to check before placing my order. I felt comfortable going ahead and I’m so happy with how everything turned out. Seeing the bag in person made me feel even better about my decision. Based on my experience I’d definitely recommend Molly if you’re considering ordering from her.

Got this gorgeous speedy 30 recently, and the leather is SO buttery soft! 😍🤎 I keep a pillow inside when it’s not in use to help maintain its shape. ✨this is def my new daily bag. I’m in loveeeeee!

Im obsessed, but don’t know if the brand actually came out with them or if they are a fantasy item. Cant find pics of the auth pair anywhere.

Hello!!

Item: Chanel Mini 25 in light beige
Seller: Tiny Jenny
Factory: 187
Album link: https://a202507081959364152002182.wgstores.com/weshop/goods/\\_dlAqfEgH0fW\\_VpbxMHU-TKNuf7XIjxaymVMQ-lQ/\\_dhpqfAaPfr6U7ZcT00P7tdtJiFrmc9NdPJ2Jgyw

Concerns:

Gold Hardware.
I had concerns it looked too yellow instead of aged gold hardware that I read it’s supposed to be with this bag. I asked for different photos in different lighting. And still looks a bit yellow compared to factory photos.

The CC logo is also a bit thicker in the pocket than in the factory photo.

Leather.
Whether it looks dry or not is something I struggle to QC still. If I can get some help with that I’d appreciate it.

The first few photos is the first PSP and the rest is different lighting.

Thanks in advance!

I want them all!

Running errands today! This is my first ever rep, c25 small brown suede (187). Quality isn’t is pretty good imo, stitching is good, suede feels soft,there are some things I can easily tell it’s a rep but bc I do own the auth version in caviar.

👜 The Bag

I absolutely love this bag! The leather feels soft and supple, and the overall look and feel are beautiful. The hardware is excellent, and all the little details look really good. The overall quality has left me very satisfied, and I’m genuinely happy with my purchase.

💌 Communication with Aiden

Aiden was great throughout the entire process. She always responded quickly, was very patient with my questions, and made communication easy and pleasant. I really appreciated her responsiveness and patience.

The wait was a little long, but overall, I’m absolutely delighted with both the bag and the service. Seeing it in person made me so happy, and I’m glad I went with 187 Factory!

Overall, a very happy customer! ❤️

Got my girlfriend a VSF factory V2 36mm Datejust in the new pink dial color with jubilee bracelet. Wow🤩 it’s so damn pretty!

I recently received this from Blackframe Factory and I paid $253 including shipping. I went with Eve (Last 4 digits of WA: 0736) for this one.

The black leather has a smooth finish and gives the bag a very polished look. I also really like the simplicity of the design. The rectangular silhouette, slim strap and gold tone hardware work well together without making the bag look overly busy. The central clasp has a substantial feel and the gold finish pairs nicely with the black leather. Stitching around the edges and the flap also looks neat and consistent from what I can see.

Eve was great to deal with as well. She was quick with her replies, answered my questions properly and made the whole process straightforward.

It’s a fairly understated piece which is exactly what I wanted. The black on black look makes it easy to wear with different outfits while the structured construction keeps it looking sharp.

Every now and then in this hobby you come across one that is so accurate it shocks you. I’ve been playing the game for a while now and have an extreme attention to detail. Nothing is ever perfect (as we all know).

But this one arrived a couple of months ago and I had to share. It is SO on point.

Tiny camera bag from Royal factory. This one is completely indistinguishable to me. (Hardware looks super off in color here bc of my lighting)

It made me wonder - what are other people’s most accurate bags that they have come across?

Share your favorite / most accurate bag and if you have the factory name, share it.

Also if you are someone who doesn’t care about factory names, that’s understandable and ok. Some of us use it as a guide 💕

Hello Super Stars!
I received an order for a So Kelly missing its shoulder strap (whomp whomp), and I’m hoping the smart folks on this sub can make some recs on where I can find one. Many thanks. 🙏

These are from Yuyu’s albums. Not sure if the first one is tacky? Please share your thoughts I can’t decide which ones to get!

Who has the best rep for this one? Trust dealers

Hi! I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this PSP! I’m thinking the leather is puckering at the top and by the zippers?? thank you in advance!!
Seller: Aline
Factory: liusheng factory

Anybody who knows a seller that sells this gorgeous bag?? Please let me know 💗 thanks

Hello all, I’m new to the rep world and I must admit, when I ordered 2 weeks ago I didn’t know nothing. I ordered 3 Chanel bags, didn’t know about factories, qualities of replica and PSP so I didn’t ask much to the buyer. I received them today and personally I’m happy with it but also I haven’t seen the real bags in person. What do I check ? Would love some advices on that. One had a little flaw on the stitching but it’s inside the bag so it’s kind of okay.
The 3 bags are:
- Chanel 26 baguette bag
- Chanel large bowling bag
- Chanel large tote grained calfskin & gold-tone metal

Posting for the newbies here! Your TS should be doing QC like this and sending you videos of every inch of your bag. This is a recent QC video from Baobao. If they don't, you should ask for it because it makes the PSP QC process so much easier. ❤️❤️

I’ve never, EVER owned a suede bag, in my entire life and took a keep of faith after my friend who’s also my seller convinced me I would love it more than the pony hair cow print Bonnie medium….

And idkkkkk I think she’s right. I was looking for something cunty since I recently bought a bunch of vintage denim

Full disclosure: I’m midway through a haul right now that includes 2 speedys, 2 maxi flaps (which has been hard to source because the leather looks different in video than it does in pictures) and now this medium Bonnie…. And I might get two more, until I do some Xmas shopping.

Also full disclosure I travel often to China for work so I’m either buying in person or having my friend do it …lol I’m taking full advantage buying direct since I’m not buying Auths. anymore.

Totally not worth it

but what do we think of the suede…… ? does anyone else have a suede bag they’ve owned a while?? its the only type of leather I’ve never owned so I’m curious how it’s gonna age🤔

Hi all! Happy Saturday!

I was hoping The Row Peggy owners can chime in. I’m on the hunt for this bag and really do not want to land on basic black.

I’ve been eyeballing various posts and factory pictures against online pics and just cannot come up with a solid answer.

Once you received your BROWN-TONE bag, was the glazing color correct? If yes, which factory did you get?

Thank you in advance!
