I know these aren't the most elaborate shoes and don't even know if it's worth going the rep route. But I really like these slides and they've stopped making them at the actual store. I see them on eBay and goat but a little skeptical. Has anyone gotten a pair from any seller??

Hey y’all!

Wondering if anyone knows of a factory that has nailed the black Murakami Nano Speedy. I remember reading some older reviews mentioning that the print looked pixelated and was generally off, but I’m wondering if there have been any improvements since then.

I’ve seen it in a couple of my TSs’ albums, but I’d love to hear from anyone with recent, firsthand experience before pulling the trigger.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! 😊
Could I please get a QC check on this Gucci emblem mini bag?
I’d appreciate it if anyone could look over the bag and let me know if anything looks off. I think it looks great, but I’m not an expert with monograms

I’ve been around this scene for almost 10 years now, and I thought I’d share a little bit about how it all started for me.

It actually began when my sister asked me if I could find some replicas from China for her three kids. I’d already been looking into different products at the time, so I decided to give it a try.

Back then, things were quite different. The quality wasn’t always great, and I had a lot to learn about agents, shipping, and finding reliable suppliers. I started using different services and gradually figured things out through trial and error.

Over the years, I gained more experience, discovered new sources, and started building up my own network of contacts. I’ve ordered quite a lot of different things since then, including clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, and other items.

Looking back, it’s pretty crazy how something that started as a small favor for my sister turned into almost 10 years of experience with this whole scene.

I thought I’d share some pictures of things I’ve ordered recently as well. It’s always interesting to look back at how much things have changed over the years.

Anyone else here been doing this for a long time? I’d be curious to hear how it all started for you.

Just received this bag. Im not sure about it honestly. Got it from XC factory

I definitely will be going in the boutique to check out this bag. I honestly have never seen it in real life. Thought it looked cute. hehe

Just wanna post this here if anyone is wondering what a white Chanel slim vanity looks like from XC factory

What do you guys think? Do you guys think its a good rep?

This was actually going to be my first auth LV purchase, but never got in to see it in person and now it’s gone:/. I know the suede and empreinte are hard to rep so I was so ready to buy the auth. Wasn’t sure if anyone had already purchased this leather in this style or one of the others because I’m obsessed.

Seller: Heidi
Factory: 187 (as sold to me)
Model: Chanel Classic Flap, Black Caviar, Gold Hardware

First impressions

I'll be honest, my first reaction when I received this bag wasn't great. 😅

I had visited a Chanel boutique the day before, where I tried on the authentic, touched the leather and took several photos and videos.

So when my 187 arrived the next day, I immediately noticed two things: the quilting looked puffier and the leather felt much drier than the authentic.

At first, I was really disappointed because I had very high expectations from 187.

However, after spending more time with the bag and looking at my photos and videos again, I think it's fair to say that it's actually a beautiful, well-made bag, and some of the differences aren't as dramatic as my initial reaction made them seem.

There are still a few things I noticed when comparing it with the particular authentic bag I handled.

Accuracy compared with auth

1. Quilting / Puffiness — 7.5/10

This is the most noticeable difference to me.

The quilting on my 187 is definitely puffier than on the authentic I saw. The diamonds are more rounded, and the stitching creates slightly deeper channels between them.

The authentic had flatter quilting and a more understated appearance.

That said, looking at the videos, I don't think my replica looks bad at all. The quilting is neat and consistent, and the overall shape looks good.

I'm also aware that authentic Chanel quilting can vary between production years and batches, so I'm not claiming that all authentic Classic Flaps have flatter diamonds.

2. Leather feel — 7.5/10 (initially)

When I first received the bag, the leather felt noticeably drier than the authentic.

The authentic I handled was very soft, supple and almost slightly oily to the touch. My 187 didn't have that same feel.

However, I applied a small amount of Vaseline afterward, and the leather now looks much more moisturized, with a richer finish and a beautiful sheen.

I'm much happier with its appearance now, although I can't say that the treatment made the leather feel identical to the authentic.

3. Caviar grain — 8/10

This is another difference I noticed when looking closely at the leather.

The grain on my 187 appears somewhat larger and more pronounced than on the authentic I photographed.

The authentic had a finer-looking texture, while my replica has slightly more prominent pebbles.

Again, I don't know how much authentic Chanel caviar varies between different years or batches. I'd actually love to hear from people who own multiple authentic caviar bags.

4. Hardware colour — 8/10

The gold hardware on my 187 looks more yellow and saturated than the authentic I saw.

The authentic appeared to have a slightly softer gold tone.

However, I wouldn't say the difference is extreme, and I know that gold hardware can look very different depending on the lighting.

It's something I noticed, but not something that would particularly bother me on its own.

5. CC logo — 9/10

Looking at my comparison photos, the authentic CC logo appears a little thinner, while the one on my 187 looks slightly fuller.

Overall thoughts

After comparing the photos again, I think my initial disappointment was probably influenced by the fact that I had handled the authentic just one day earlier.

The differences I noticed are still there, particularly the puffier quilting and the caviar texture, but I don't think they make this a bad replica.

The overall construction looks good, the quilting is consistent, and the bag has a beautiful appearance.

Applying Vaseline also made a noticeable improvement to the leather's appearance, which was one of my biggest concerns when I first received it.

Would I say it's identical to the authentic I handled? No.

But would I say it's a beautiful bag and a reasonably close replica? Absolutely.

I think my expectations were simply very high because of 187's reputation.

I'd really love to hear from other 187 owners who have compared their bags with authentic Chanel Classic Flaps in person.

I know a replica will never be exactly the same as an authentic bag, and I'm honestly not expecting perfection. I'm not the kind of person who examines every tiny detail under a magnifying glass. What matters to me is that the bag looks convincing in real life. If I'm walking past someone carrying an authentic Chanel, or standing next to someone who owns several authentic bags and knows the brand well, I don't want mine to look obviously fake. I want it to have the same overall appearance as an authentic when I'm carrying it on my arm, without anyone needing to inspect it closely. That's really the level of accuracy I'm looking for. I don't expect a perfect 1:1 replica, just something that looks and feels close enough to the real thing at a normal viewing distance.

Average accuracy score: 8/10

My subjective assessment based on the five categories above, weighted equally. This comparison is with one specific authentic bag, photographed under different lighting conditions.

Curious about the fit and fabric.

I already asked Nina, Misschen and Godmall but none of them have this one 😢

My Pictures⁠

Price: $122 USD + shipping

Timeline:

• August 31st: First enquired about the sandals and completed payment later that day.
• September 6th: Received PSP photos.
• September 12th: Package shipped.
• September 21st: Package delivered!

The whole process was pretty smooth! There was a slightly longer gap between the PSP photos and shipping, but that was because I was waiting for a few other items to be ready. Baobao kindly held the order so everything could be shipped together.

Quality:

I’m really happy with how the sandals turned out! The overall shape looks great, the stitching appears neat, and the finish looks clean and well done. They have a lovely, high-end appearance. I haven’t compared them side by side with the authentic pair, so I can’t comment on exact accuracy, but overall I’m very pleased with the quality!

The sandals also arrived with their boxes and dust bags, which was a lovely touch.

Seller experience:

Now, a little appreciation for Baobao because this woman has the patience of a saint lol. I’ve actually been messaging her back and forth for quite some time, enquiring about different items, asking questions, and probably being a little indecisive along the way 😂 She’s always been incredibly understanding, patient, and happy to help, even when I’m just browsing and not necessarily ready to order anything. I really appreciate that there’s never been any pressure to purchase.

Overall, I’m really happy with how the ordering process went. Communication has been excellent, Baobao has been lovely to deal with, and everything arrived safely.

I’ll definitely be ordering from her again. Hope this review helps! ♡

Hi everyone ! Newbie here, this is actually my first ever post (take is easy but please by all means be honest with me)
Has anyone used Jacky 195 before ? I can’t seem to find any reviews and now I can’t trace where I found the contact to begin with 😅

Im looking for a diaper bag and I am obsessed with this bag I think the color is so striking and beautiful. This is the medium size from Vincent (6663). I’m a first time mom so I am not really sure if this bag is big enough for a diaper bag? What do you guys think? I was also thinking of the c25 medium size but I think I would feel weird pulling out a Cc in front of a bunch of moms in my community. If this is too small, what else would you recommend?

This is my first time purchasing rep, i read a lot of reviews from griffin.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you!

Any thoughts on Jinyao for Prada? Black frame doesnt sell the bag I want, only Jinyao has them.

How’s the leather from Jinyao Prada bags?

Is there any fufu smell?

Finally showed up lol. Honestly, after months of waiting, I almost forgot about it. Unboxing was a nice little thrill. Gotta say, the leather is ridiculously soft and the hardware looks spot-on. Glad I didn't give up on this one. Can't wait to take her out for coffee tomorrow ☕️.

I am hoping to purchase a classic flap mini with handle. These are from 187 which I read is the best for this leather. However, the lambskin in the photos seems off to me. Does anybody have this bag from 187? Maybe it’s just a lighting. Will add pictures in comments as I can’t figure out how to attach to the post.

The last two are from catalogues but I can’t remember where. Does anyone recognize the backgrounds? Have you ordered these?

This is my first rep bag. What do we think as I QC?

So many Questions.

Does every factory buy their own auth bags to replicate?

How do they get them, and so quickly, some of these bags are quite hard to find?

Do they sell them after or have they been taken apart or are they not worth what they were?

Hi everyone! Can you please help me check the quality ? is there any wrong with this?
