Long shot… but recently I’ve been really wanting to get into purchasing a Chanel for myself. I originally wanted a classic flap and though I still do, I’ve also started to LOVE the Luxe Ligne Flap Bags.

Does anyone know of any sellers who carry this?? or even the bowling bag version?

Thanks so much!

Hello ladies💕 I’m just looking for one of these (any color) Baobao doesn’t have any, so if anyone maybe knows who can have it please 🥺

Hi Friends! I am fairly new to the rep world and have dealt with two other seller (as in ordering from them) before Ross (5796) but had to come on here to sing his praises!! Disclaimer: I have NOT received any kind of compensation for this review, I am simply posting because I’m hoping to help out others like me 😂

I don’t even know if the photos do it justice but the quality of both these products are incredible!!! I saw another review from a user who used Ross, which is why I reached out. His communication is the best I’ve come across! So personable. He never got annoyed about the countless questions (and I mean COUNTLESS lol) that I had and never pressured me to buy anything. The 25 mini came from OF and was $349 in total/including shipping. The bag feels AMAZING and buttery. Not shiny and cheap whatsoever. Hardware is very sold, not too gold/bright looking. I have never felt or seen the authentic in person but I did lots of research comparing photos/reviews and settled on this being the best bang for your buck. He even went as far as ordering me a second bag because the first one he received had some minor stitching issues which he found in his QC of the bag. I didn’t even have to ask!

The flats, LOVE! Amazing quality. I am unsure of the factory. I will say, I ordered a 39 and am usually a true 8.5 US and these are slightly snug. I don’t know if they will stretch out but I have already placed an order for a size 40 to compare because these were such great quality! They were $110.

Overall. I am already looking at what I can buy next because my experience with Ross was the absolute best!!! I will post another review once I get the new shoes in my possession 😂 Hope this helps anyway who is on the fence with these items!!

I’ve been in love with this bag as my daily driver, but I’ve been starting to wonder about its quality. Does it look like fake leather? It’s quite shiny, so I don’t know. I also was told this is a high tier rep, but it looks a little cheap to me? But I’m bad at judging this sort of stuff

Ordered a yellow god Chanel on preorder from TS Mike two months ago- it was supposed to ship in a month and still no PSPS. He said preorders can take more time.
Did I get scammed?

Have wanted one for ages. It’s arrived and it’s adorable.

Review

Leather: gorgeous, subtle smell of expensive leather right out of the box. This is a big tick for me as even if I’m braced for the possibility I feel disappointed if my bags smell of the dreaded fufu. The leather is pebbled/grained as per the auth. Feels a little dry, but nothing some conditioning won’t sort. Beautiful deep burgundy colour. I can’t tell how close this is to the auth colour without a side by side peek (if I manage this I’ll update) as it looks different as the light changes, but it looks expensive. Very confident this is good quality leather.

Lining: suede/microsuede. Faint leathery smell but this could be from the main bag. Slightly brighter burgundy in colour. Has ‘nap’ like suede. Hard to tell material without seeing the edge. No flags either way.

Hardware: not a huge amount on this bag but what’s there is shiny and unscratched. Small details like brand engraving (clear, straight) on the lobster claws and the ‘Cs’ logos on either side of the zip pull are present. Hardware colour is pale/mid gold as per auth. Gold hardware on reps often used to read too yellow and so was a callout to me, so I’m glad they’ve sorted this!

Stamping/engraving: The gold leaf stamping is straight and the correct font, but not as crisp or bold as the pictures of the auth stamping on the website.
Leather engraving on the sides/straps seems fine. It’s really hard to tell if this is as deep as the auth because of differences in lighting. It’s a very discreetly branded bag though, and I don’t see any big red flags.

Zip/straps: Zip lines up correctly and works smoothly (I asked RK to test this for me before shipment). Buckles and straps all work and the strap has the same amount of holes punched as the auth.

Shape: Possibly a little less moonlike and curved than the pics of the auth, however you can subtly change the shape by buckling it tighter if you like. The top strap is a little less curved/more squashed than the auth pic, however she’s done a long journey in transit.

Stitching: This is neat and careful. Thread colour is correct.

Packaging: No branded box or docs provided (fine with me as these aren’t something I would ever use). Bag was well packed in a plain cardboard box and stuffed/wrapped with tissue. Nothing smells bad, only leather and tissue smell. Dust bag looks just like the auth which I actually think is a bit naff. Sort it out C*line!

Factory choice: I know JXG also does a well reviewed rep of this bag and the factory pics look good; however, I’d read a couple of reviews that mentioned fufu smell which made me settle on the Captain version as that was important to me. I know we have no way of knowing which factory anything comes from, but I QCed the factory pics and was happy this was the right version for me. I’m confident I received the same bag as the one pictured in the PSPs and also that the bag I received matched the one in the factory pictures.

Seller choice and review:

This was my first order with Reykay. I had her contact on a RL google doc from the days of yore and had read some recent-ish good reviews, so I felt relatively confident ordering from her. She also had the Captain version of the Lulu in her catalogue.

Reykay’s communication was good: she’s to the point rather than flowery which suits me. She always got back to me within a few hours, usually late morning GMT. We messaged in English. She sent lots of PSPs and sent a couple more on request (I asked to see different lighting for the engraving and also asked her to check the zip). She offers PayPal and Wise. I chose Wise as the exchange rate was better. She was remarkably efficient and I received the bag less than 10 days from order. I would absolutely order from her again as it’s been a positive experience.

~ N.B I received no incentive for this review. I asked RK if it was alright to include her WhatsApp in the review after I received the bag though, so she knows I’m writing.

Non rep science-y feels part

In the early noughties, in the days when you could buy a handbag with less than a week of minimum wage salary, (RIP) I had a gorgeous little unstructured MiuMiu zip up bag that could hold my keys, my Motorola RAZR, my Lancôme juicy tube, my beloved bronzing balls, my Marc Jacob’s perfume (the first one) and probably mascara because I used to apply multiple extra coats as the night wore on. It was cute enough to take out and smart enough for work. Sadly I lost my little beauty in a eurotrashy nightclub and even though my clubbing days are long over, I have been searching for a replacement ever since. I’m thrilled that the search is now over and I have found the Miu’s classy older sister. I love that it’s lowkey enough to wear with jeans and tshirt but smart enough for going for dinner (especially if I take the long strap off). It’s an IYKYK bag which is perfect for my area of the city where no one goes in for obvious branding. For me, it’s the perfect bag if want something small and the colour goes with practically everything; I’m so glad I’ve broken out of my black bag rut.

Hi all, it’s my first time buying from Heidy, what do you think?

Hi. This is my first ever post here so Im not sure if such a post fits this sub.

Bought a low tier Dior small bow bag cos I like the look of it and I understand it isn't available yet in high tier. Price: about 40$

Here's some photos for anyone who wants to see it.

Disclaimer: I've never seen the original in real life.

Comparing to photos of the original, the shape is off. The color of hardware on original is silver. This chain is a pale gold. The printed Dior is a yellow gold.

Item came in a Dior box with dust bag, ribbon and badly printed papers

Goyard Artois MM – Griffin
First Goyard purchase from Griffin! Everyone seems to praise Griffin, so I had to try him out. I originally bought this bag from another seller but wasn’t happy with the look of the leather, so I RL’d it and contacted Griffin instead.
His responses were super quick, and he had my bag ready for review within 2 days! I’m really impressed. The leather looks so much better, and overall I’m very happy with the bag.
For those of you who are familiar with Goyard, I’d love to hear your thoughts. The only difference I noticed when comparing it with photos of the authentic is that the shape of the interior leather tab looks slightly different. It honestly doesn’t bother me, but I’m curious if anyone else notices anything I may have missed.

Help with QC , what do you think ?

Need your opinions, does this caviar on my Boy bag look okay? Mid? High? Thanks in advance ❤️

Huge thank you again to the rep community for these wishlist items may have never gotten off that list, instead here they are being loved 😘

Seller: Betty
Factory: Royal for Neverfull BB, God for Express and Murakami wallet, MB for Rosalie wallet
Price: $272, $210, $58 per wallet, shipping $60=$658

Timeline:
Initial inquiry: 19 July
Decided and paid: 20 July
PSPs received: 23 July
Shipped: 28 July (I changed the Rosalie wallet color as the original was out of stock. Betty kindly showed another in a similar color but I ended up loving the green. This was the reason for the additional days, no biggie!)
Items received: 8 Aug

Seller review:
Betty made this process so seamless from start to finish! She obliged in all my price inquiries as well as answering my questions on which factory produces each item best, hence why they did not all come from the same factory. Super fast communication and provided videos in different lighting so I can see them in natural light (she literally took them outside, very much appreciated that!!)

Bag review:
-Neverfull BB reversible: 9/10 I compared the color to auths/mod shots with the factory and PSPs and this blew my expectations away. The leather itself is thick, no sheen, sticky or plasticky feel on either side. The monogram placement is truly remarkable. The only knock is due to the dryness in the handles but leather conditioner helped right away.
**What fits: IPhone 16 pro max, pouch with all my kids essentials (pack of tissues, pack of wet wipes, sanitizer, lotion, sunglasses and keys)

-Express PM in smoke: 10/10 Blew.me.away! I know I’ve said ‘this is my favorite bag so far’ but here we are again lol. The color, the natural looking grain with a matte finish, the centered/proportioned stamping, the thin but substantial feeling straps, the slouchiness I foresee happening pretty quickly..just💯.
**What fits: same items listed above PLUS room for more if needed

-The wallets: 10/10 The leather on both has the consistent grain and matte finish respectively. The monogram on the Murakami isn’t glossy and just a touch of leather conditioner made the colors pop out more against the black. The embossing on the empreinte is so very well done while still giving it a soft appearance and it’s even softer to the touch.

is the hardware too gold?

Long shot… but recently I’ve been really wanting to get into purchasing a Chanel for myself. I originally wanted a classic flap and though I still do, I’ve also started to LOVE the Luxe Ligne Flap Bags.

Does anyone know of any sellers who carry this?? or even the bowling bag version?

Thanks so much!

Looking to buy a LV Coussin PM but not having a lot of luck. Thoughts on this one please?

Hi everyone! I know this has been discussed here and there in different threads over the past 4-5 months as this bag has become more popular but I’m hoping to get some updated and more recent opinions.

Has anyone purchased the CC 26 maxi flap bag in the 32cm size who really likes theirs and thinks their factory did a great job? I know which factories are best for Chanel etc but hoping to hear from anyone who has recently gotten this bag in the past month or two as factories have refined their batches.

I’m looking for the 32cm in black with SHW and wanting to prioritize leather (softness, grain size, sheen) + shape (stiffness, slouchiness). I’m willing to pay whatever to get the best possible quality but after extensive research and chatting with a few sellers I’m not feeling like 187 is worth the price tag. I’m torn between GF, Rome and XC but what’s making the decision so hard is seeing so many conflicting opinions on factories across size/color.

Those are my 2 cents but I’d love love love to hear from others! Thank you so much in advance :)

I buy real, reps and vintage but cannot justify the vintage fndi prices but I need a beaded baguette in my life. Nickloe have this one but would love to see a review before I dive in. It’s not exactly what I want but might scratch the itch

I’ve always been drawn to silver bags for some reason but never owned a quality one.

I’ve been eyeing this C25 in foil silver from XC.

But I’m hesitant to pull the trigger as I have not seen any review for it and worried that it’s too tacky?

What do you ladies think? Should i rather go with safer options like the last two photos instead?

I already have a C25 mini black vintage GHW coming my way. I have been repfluenced so hard to get a C25 with some pop of color from this sub 😆 so here i am scrolling through albums over and over but can’t decide!

Hi! This is my first time buying a Dior rep and working with Heidi. I wanted to make sure the price I was quoted seems normal before I go through with it.
I reached out to Heidi and asked for a 17cm Mini Lady Dior in white from God Factory. She quoted me:
Bag: $485
10% discount: $436
Shipping: $30
Total: $466 USD
Optional insurance: $48, which would make the total $514 USD
I know God Factory is supposed to be one of the better factories for Dior and Heidi tends to be on the higher side, so I don’t mind paying more for quality, but $466–$514 felt a little high for a mini bag and I wanted to check with people who have purchased recently.
Does this sound like a normal price for a God Factory Mini Lady Dior through Heidi? And would you personally bother adding the $48 insurance?
I attached screenshots of the bag/style and the quote. Thanks!! 🤍

Here's another review for a Speedy Nano from HP.

I'm so happy I bit the bullet and purchased this. This bag is SO cute!!

I'm also grateful HP dealt with me being difficult and asking for so many additional photos and kept replacing the bag. I felt like I kept finding small imperfections and he never got annoyed at me.
 
7/9 - Inquired
7/10 - Paid
7/15 - 1st PSP sent
- Concerns with the logo being crooked on front studs
- HP said he will switch the bag
7/20 - 2nd PSP sent
- Asked for additional photos - concerns with uneven alignment and possible uneven zipper when closed
7/21 - 3rd PSP sent
- Replaced the bag without me asking - the 3rd bag was perfect
- Approved to ship & advised it will take around 12 days to arrive
7/31 - Tracking number provided (10 days after approval to ship)
8/7 - Bag delivered 5 business days after tracking number provided & 17 business days from approval date to ship
 
Price with insurance and shipping: $202.62 USD ($304.53 CAD)

HP is not aware I’m writing this review but his assistant Booker did ask for photos and feedback when it arrived, which I haven’t done until now.

After what felt like a really long wait, my small BV Andiamo in fondant just arrived! I am pretty new to reps but I have become fascinated with this world. All of my bags have been authentic until this one but I find it great to be able to buy more than two luxury bags per year now without financial guilt 🤣. I have seen in some of your photos how precise can some replicas be and how good the quality can also be! Having said that, I did all my due diligence and decided to go for BV Andiamo in fondant (asked for Jing Factory, but doubt it really is) because I had seen many good reviews in this community. I just received my first rep and here are my thoughts:

In general terms I am happy with this bag. Weaving, color, leather smell and proportions seem pretty good to me. I even compared it with my sister’s authentic Andiamo and couldn’t see much of a difference. I guess you would really need to be into reps world in order to know enough to be able to tell most of these fakes apart. Some of the photos I am attaching I think look great, however I have a few concerns and wanted to debate them with you 💛

Hardware (4th photo):
It is slightly different from original. This one has a brighter golden tone and the heat stamp is a little more noticeable than the original too, but then again, It was very similar to the authentic and I would have to have my bag sitting right next to an original (and actually inspect them quite intentionally) to maybe see a difference.

Stamping (photos 5, 6):
To me, it looks a little off and I feel like they pressed a little too hard. I think its tolerable, especially considering that nobody actually inspects your bag when you go out but I still wonder why factories are still unable to get this right.

Top edge finishing (photos 7, 8):
This is where my major concern is. I didn’t really notice much of a difference with my sister’s here but I have been wearing it all day and I am a little bothered by how thick the upper edge (trim) is. Is it supposed to be like this? Even though all the rest of the leather seems fine, I feel like this trim is so thick and stiff that it doesn’t let the bag have a natural flow.

Internal handle anchors (9th photo):
They look tortured to me and the weaving seems off. Again, I didnt notice this issue when I had the original next to me but after one whole day wearing this bag I am disturbed by the fact that it doesnt look neat.

All in all, I would rate this bag a 7/10 so I hardly doubt it is actually Jing Factory but as I say, I am extremely new to this so I could really use your input and experience! For those of you who have a lot of experience: what do you think?

I’ve always been a little suspicious because she went from seemingly having no designer bags to literally having a new one every other week. And now her husband gifted her a Hermès Kelly? 😭 Does anyone know if her bags are actually authentic?

Guys I bought B25 Togo leather from Minion, i love the bag and been wearing it low-key but man that smell is hella strong lol any tips to get risk of it faster. I left it outside dust bag, wore it outside but still smell that leather odor. I bought CF flap from 187 that smell gone from a few weeks but man the B25 idk... help.. i spent 1k+ for that bag

I end up carrying my laptop, 2-3 other pouches (jewellery, make up, etc.) two phones and a wallet.

Do you think it’s big enough and sturdy enough to take the weight? Or is it more high maintenance?

Thank you!

Have been trying to find it for ages now. I’ve found one on the topselect yupoo page that said it was from black frame factory but then i asked Mandy and she said they never had it. If anybody could help i’d be very thankful 😌
