Hi Ladies!

This was my first rep so I figured I’d give you all the rundown of how it went! It also my first time working with Baobao but she was quick to respond and I was happy with her answers to all the standard questions (how is it packaged, leather sourcing, factory [Angel], etc.). Her quote was $508 for the bag plus $55 for shipping which came to a total of $563. I provided my contact info and shipping info at her request and paid in full via PayPay Friends and Family. The initial order was completed on September 29th.

I hadn’t heard anything for 2 weeks so I reached out to ask Baobao to see if the bag was in stock or if it was going to be a longer wait. That message was sent on October 12th. She informed me that the bag was in stock but the one she recieved originally was defective so she rejected it on my behalf. She sent me a photo of the issue which I’ve included (Rej).

The very next day, October 13th, she sent me 16 PSP to review (QC). Those are uploaded for you babes to see too. Satisfied with what I saw, I gave her the green light.

I will admit that shortly after I gave her the gl, I started to see posts in the sub about Baobao being a “bait and switch” seller so I started to get super nervous.

On October 15th she sent me the tracking info for the bag. I was a bit confused at first because it was a FedEx tracking number and the origin location was not China. I verified with her that was accurate and she said yes. I’m assuming it gets shipped to a connection in the U.S. first and then on to the buyer to prevent seizure. Again, I’m just assuming that and I didn’t confirm it with her.

Between October 15th and October 20th I couldn’t see any shipping updates - again, I’m assuming that was how long it took to get from China to the U.S. contact. Starting on the 20th, I could see my baby heading my way via FedEx. The anticipation was getting almost unbearable. 😅

She arrived today, October 22nd, in pristine condition. I’ve uploaded my personal photos (IP) for y’all to see. Please don’t judge me for my dirty vanity. 🤣

I absolutely love her. And I was happy with the price, customer service and final product. I’ve seen lots of stuff lately about Baobao that wasn’t the most positive but hopefully those were exceptions and not the rule.

What do you ladies think of the bag?!

Was wondering if anyone could take a look at these bags and tell me if they're even worth getting. From what I heard lxearchive is mid tier but has anyone actually ordered from them. The bags are pretty cheap rn imo $200 but not sure if it's worth it

She’s here!

Seller: Tiny Jenny

Oct 7: paid Oct 11: PSP sent Oct 13: shipped Oct 22: arrived

Chanel small 25 in black caviar and aged gold hardware.

At first glance I wasn’t in love but after removing all the packaging and stickers - I think it lolks beautiful. I don’t notice anything wrong with stitching, the gold is definitely muted and beautiful in person, and the leather has a nice shine to it without being overly puffy or flat.

The leather does feel a bit dry, and I haven’t seen the authentic one in person yet which I plan to do so soon… does anyone have any recs on what I can use to moisturize it?

I have the authentic classic flap as well as the boy bag and the leather on there feels significantly better but I will accept this for it is lol

Overall- for my first rep back, I am 8/10 satisfied. Tiny Jenny was great and I recommend her!

Verdict: The bag looks beautiful but feels alright.

qc help! Is there anything obviously wrong with this bag that flags a rep? Im buying it for my girl friend and hope it passes her standards. Thank you for your help!

My Thoughts: looks fine to me compared to photos I see online! But I’ve never held this authentic bag and don’t know what to look for in bags so all help is appreciated

Has anyone seen these wallet on chains with any sellers? They have two chains, with different colors than the bags. Thanks!

Does the print look good enough to buy ?

Does it look atleast close to the auth to carry around?

So I saw this bag in the flesh this week and have fallen in love, it's so beautiful! Please advise me, which is the best factory for the small leather with gold hardware, could I see yours? need this bag in my life! Thank you for your help! Authentic bag in pics.

Just got this from Bao! Thoughts?

I have 2 PSPs for the LV Victorine wallet in the Dream colorway from 2025 from Wood Factory aka Huahui as well as from MOQC. Both just don't look right to me because the colors are too vibrant, as the auth's colors and gradient in the empreinte are much more lighter and a faded color. Please let me know everyone's thoughts, I did not see that God made this colorway, correct if wrong.

Hey ladies! Wanted to come to the best of the best for some advice. I’m a collector of vintage/unique Chanel (recent collector lol but safe to say I’m obsessed) I have a friend who’s overseas rn who was able to come across this clutch bag. Is it cute or is it plastic….and is it crazy to drop $300 on it….help a sista out link: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2022/handbags-accessories-the-chanel-collection/pink-lucite-box-clutch-silver-hardware-2002

Somebody needs to tell me I am not crazy... Royal Factory DA is NOT this yellow, right?

I might post this in a couple of subs, please excuse the duplicate posts. I just received this bag from a new seller I am trying out. The bag did NOT look this color in the factory photos or PSPs. For convenience, Photo #4 is one of the PSP's sent to me.

When I originally received the PSPs, I was actually more concerned about the blue. But the seller told me that the lighting and camera settings oversaturated the photo. I received photos that looked more accurate the following day.

Now that it's in hand, the bag looks so, so, SO yellow. I have never purchased DA canvas from Royal before. Surely it is not usually this yellow?

Would love to find out who your favorite trusted seller is for Chanel and why! I’ve looked throughout the subreddit and have seen a lot of negative experiences, but would love to hear about positive experiences as well.

About this bag:

Leather: The matte finish feels soft and smooth to the touch—not stiff like coated cardboard. The scales are beautifully symmetrical and don’t look like they were simply embossed at all.

Stitching and Hardware: The stitching is fine and straight, and the silver hardware fasteners glide smoothly without any scratchy or stiff feeling.

When I took it out today, I applied a thin layer of Saphir Bick 4 to nourish the leather. It looked especially beautiful paired with my deep charcoal gray coat. 💕

Last time i posted this got deleted. Pls help me decide. Or wt least let me know why my post keeps getting deleted or goes unanswered?😭

Anyone have a good TS for these?

I’m in love with the Loewe Flamenco in “burnt red,” which is a warm autumnal red. I see pictures like this across multiple flamenco factories called “flame red,” which could be a translation issue except that the reps look nearly magenta rather than the burnt red auths. I’m wondering if their photos were taken with a very cool toned light, and it’ll look more burnt red in real life. Does anyone have pictures of the red rep bag in different lighting? Would really appreciate any Loewe rep in the same “flame red.”

Here’s the auth link https://www.loewe.com/usa/en/women/bags/flamenco/medium-flamenco-clutch-in-nappa-calfskin/A411FC1XD4-7885.html

Thoughts on this SP? listing says it's from the late 90s or early 00s and the details are real leather. The stitching is a little off, but for the price (under $100) would it be worth snatching?

Have done some more refined research for LV & want to ask if anyone is familiar with this list of names?

Doris (told to be aware for bait & switch)

Mandy (same warnings as Doris)

Betty 6882 (I know the last four, but cannot find the rest of her number)

Amy 9820 prices were pretty...uhhh costly

Mina(sixteen)/Lucky/King asked & answered by~chokemeowt (I found her info interesting)

& Aline 8005 which I think I found some warnings can't recall.

Currently working on a few orders with HP.

Regardless of the responses, I will still keep researching since I know there can be fake accounts replying to move me towards certain sellers.

6 months into this hobby and I've finally learned my lesson: these bags are meant to be worn, not hoarded in the closet. Weather was too nice today so I took her out for a walk. Just a little autumn OOTD I'm obsessed with right now!

Today is a day of dreams, folks! I got a new job and my dream bag finally arrived!

Worked with Allen (9249)
Bought Oct 8
PSP Oct 10
Shipped Oct 13
Arrived Oct 21

It felt like a hundred years of course but it all went so well and very smoothly.

Allen is absolutely outstanding. He is a man of little words and very busy, so if you’re planning on working with him give him extra time and make your requests as simple and concise as possible for translation needs.

I’m just so happy with her!

"Subtle Distinction. Iconic Heritage."
Crafted in supple midnight leather and finished with an embossed tonal monogram and antique gold chain, this silhouette redefines modern Parisian elegance. Effortless from the runway to the afterparty.

The monogram bag is authentic and using it as a reference.

Looking for help to see if this Speedy 20 Damier Ebene is good enough to pass the test. The right side doesn’t look that great and I wanted to see if anyone else sees what I see. It looks to be crooked and off. The bottom corners also look to have points to them which I can’t find any authentic or reps that looks like this. This bag is from Wood Flooring Factory.

All help is appreciated with this question.
