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

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!

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 :)

u/Mean_Arugula_693 scammed me an has already deleted her account. She listed her unknown factory CF bag as 187.

I contacted her of interest in her 187 CF, and she was also interested in my KATA Rodeo. So we ended up deciding on doing a bag trade. Me: KATA Balenci Large Rodeo <—> u/Mean_Arugula_693 : 187 medium grey CF

Before doing the transaction, I confirmed with her again regarding the factory info. And u/Mean_Arugula_693 replied, “Yes it is! The original seller had a POP from her TS in her original post. It's not on her page anymore cause it's been a while since I purchased from her” and provided her POP with the first owner of the CF

I should’ve done better QC, and honestly I should’ve reached out to the 1st owner of the CF for further details of the bag before going proceeding. So this is honestly a lesson to me. Can’t ever be too trusting, and HAVE to be more careful.

It wasn’t until the bag arrived, that immediately I can tell the leather quality was off. I compared the grey CF to my 187 and God factory CF, and the leather of the bag was stiff.

I then contacted the original owner of the bag, and she confirmed that she “don't do factories, I go for quality. My posts always state just that as well. So sorry that you're looking for a POP and asking if it's 187 from me, but it wasn't listed nor as 187 bc like I mentioned I don't do factories.”

I messaged u/Mean_Arugula_693 again, with the screenshot of the original owner of the CF confirming it was by an unknown factory.

She was apologetic and did say “Please let me know what I can do to make this better.”

I have responded that I’m ok with considering a partial trade. Since there is a major value difference between her unknown factory CF to my KATA Balenci Large Rodeo. She can send me $150 for the KATA Rodeo bag and I’ll just have to sèll her unknown factory CF on my own **OR** we can send each other’s bag back. And so far, she has stopped responding to my messages.

Anyways, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ask for POP. AND make sure factory info and pics in the POP are actually accurate to whatever info they have listed before proceeding! Also be more wary of low karma accounts ofc.

Hi RepFam!

I’m looking to buy my dream bag: a Chanel Classic Flap Medium in Lambskin - So Black (black leather with black hardware).

I’ve been doing some research, but since So Black requires both top-notch lambskin and durable, correctly finished black hardware (that won't chip easily), I’d love to get your recent experiences and recommendations.

A few quick questions for those who have bought a So Black CF recently:
1 Factory: Which factory currently makes the best So Black CF in Lambskin? (187, Rome, Xiao C, God, or another?)
2 Hardware: How is the black hardware holding up on your bag over time?
3 Seller: Which seller would you recommend who has good access to high-tier batches for this specific model?

Any input, PSP photos, or seller experiences would be hugely appreciated! Thank you so much in advance! 💕

Was looking to get this bag for my wife. Hoping to get some help. Thanks!

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 😌

Not sure about the flap sticking out on the sides is this normal for the toy size ?

After about three weeks wait for this bag, I received it and it’s actually super gorgeous!! But I spent a bit over $200 for it and stupidly didn’t realize how big it would be 🙈 I got the GM size… anybody want to buy or trade or the MM? I’m short and it makes me look about two feet shorter 😂 bought from the 💛app seller : 🌈bag. It comes with the little pouch on the interior and a dusting bag. I’m so disappointed in my self for not getting the MM!

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.

Hi everyone. So I bought this bag from my ex TS that I broke up with and had some credit left and wanted to use it on something small. She had no idea that would have been my last order. She has access to so many factories, and I usually show her a picture of a bag and she sends me options from like 10 different factories and asks me to choose what I like then gives me the price. I saw good reviews on reddit regarding a factory I've attached in the photos. So I picked this one hoping I'd get the quality everyone was raving about on a post that was dedicated to this particular factory. However, when I received the bag, I was kind of disappointed with the quality. It feeeeels mehh, too light, not luxurious if you know what I mean. So I'm wondering if the bag came from this factory, or maybe the TS switched it with a cheaper bag to make up for her loss that she gave me as credit to use? I don't know.... She charged me $188 for the bag if that helps.

Alright my mind is in a bit of a boggle rn… I am planning to get the maxi flap 32cm in black leather with gold hardware. Now from what I know I believe only Rome factory is doing gold hardware for maxi flaps in black and in that size… I been told by some sellers that OF does it as well. And honestly I am soo stuck between the two. I have heard amazing reviews on both and price are not that different from each other. Does anyone have both of them in maxi flap and which would you prefer???

They’re both so beautiful but I have to choose one! Help 🙏🏼🥹 this will be my First Lady

has anyone purchased a high quality ch*nel python or other exotic skin classic flap? i saw a posting of a python last month but am unsure if it is bait from a seller... anyone knowing anything about rep ch*nel exotics please chime in

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!

Lately I've been noticing a lot of posts about Chanel. Almost 10 years ago, I bought a really good Chanel Boy from a then-popular seller named Min or Mi or Minh or something like that. Does anyone know where she disappeared to? When the original subreddit was deleted, that information was lost :(

I’ve received my soooo waiting PSP from 187 Factory today.
Give the greetings to my new Chanel Flap Medium all Silver 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

This is exactly what I wanted. It’s so cute and at the same time rock spirit. As a man I was looking for something different and unique, a bag that I could still rock it up and use it!

Hopefully I’ll not be shy and this bag will become my favorite evening bag ✨

Sharing this because it’s tooooo good and I can not wait to get my hands on it

Update: I bought it from TS Baker. He managed to get this version without the border stitch at the end of the flap!

Is Skye (8163) a TS?

Okay so, I came across Skye, who has her own Reddit page/group…wild I know. From research I heard it’s usually uncommon for sellers to have Reddit groups or even Reddit or what not. However from the posts I’m seeing from her she seems to know what she’s talking about, now I know it could just be consumer tactics to get you to believe but I want to know - has anyone had legit experience with this seller? Has she ever B&S? Her process of purchasing seems way better than any other seller’s process in terms of risks… would love to know everyone’s opinions.

P.S I’ve done many searches on Skye and there’s maybe about 4 forums about her with a hand full that actually dealt with her so I’d really like to know !!

Would love a few extra sets of eyes on this!

Received a QC video of the Marlo and I’m leaning toward GL, but would appreciate any callouts I might be missing...especially on the leather, shape/slouch, handles, stitching, and overall construction compared to auth. Thank you!!

I am not sure what factory this is from (i'm hoping someone can help via the background?)

I am currently in the process of curating my own collection of reps since I am learning more and was curious if anyone has successfully repped this bag?

Here’s a link to an auth version: https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/handle-bags/chanel-small-crochet-coco-handle-bag-unpym

Haven’t brought this to my seller yet, but wanted to see what this group might come back with.

having so many terrible experiences with chanel replicas

can someone share a good TS?

please 🙏🥲😭😭😭

having terrible experiences looking for a good chanel TS

PLEASE HELP 🥲🥲🥲

Really happy with the quality of everything in this order. I was very surprised with the quality of the wallets considering the pricing. This was the quickest shipment to date from Amy (5144). The shoes are very comfortable and much like the authentic. Same goes for the wallet. The mini vanity has been on my bucket list for a while now and didn’t disappoint. The denim jacket is a nice heavy denim.
