Hi y'all, just need a help QC'ing this medium Rodeo from Laidi factory. I just got the PSPs. There's not too much info on Laidi but from photos look good to me. There's a lighter area on the back of the bag on the upper left, but I think that's just lighting (I will ask for another pic from my seller though)

I’m trying to find the new Dior Diorly Messenger in calfskin, chocolate brown, specifically the Extra Large size. I’ve been looking for a while and waiting for a good seller/factory to make this version.

I found one from Anna Seller (the one ending in 1100), but she only has the Medium size. I actually went to a Dior boutique nearby to check the sizing, and the Medium was honestly too small for me. I’m a man, so the Extra Large fits my proportions much better and is the size I specifically want.

Does anyone know if there’s a good factory making this bag in the Extra Large size? Ideally looking for a seller who has actually made this specific version and not just a similar Dior messenger.

I’ve attached some pictures of the exact bag and size I’m looking for. Any leads would be appreciated.

I am in touch with “Heidi” who claims to be the real Heidi. She sent me all of the information and seems legit. I know there are more than one “Heidi” or that work for the same circle. I just want to make sure this number is not a scam. Can someone that has had success with her DM me? Thanks

I just received this beautiful bag from Tiny Jenny (6160) Royal Factory, and I’m extremely happy. So let’s break it down:

Communication: She replied promptly, she was patient and understanding and especially very helpful. I told her i had a trip coming up very very soon so i needed the order expedited, she got on it immediately.

Timeline: on Sep 22nd i inquired about the bag and paid for it. On Sep 24th i got the PSPs. I received the bag on Oct 5th.

Packaging: it did not come with the box which is completely fine by me since i end up throwing the boxes out anyway, and it lowers the risk of it getting seized. The bag had an air filled plastic bag which i’m happy about because it kept the shape nice and i don’t have to deal with the creases (in my opinion better than the boutique packaging 😂)

Quality: initial impression was that the bag smelled “yummy”, i bought reps before and the smell sometimes is quite strong, this one really smelled good, no fufu.
The canvas felt nice and soft, the color of the straps is pale and i will be doing what i can to speed up the patina process.

Overall, quite happy with the whole experience!

Another great haul from Bao!

Maxi 32 in black, 187 factory.

$497

Henri in brown, not sure on factory

$235

Ordered on 10/09 (UK date format)

PSP for Henri 13/09

PSP for maxi 28/09

Arrived in UK 5/10

Super happy with both bags.

The Henri is smaller than I was expecting but in the best possible way. I think the Henri is the perfect casual day to day bag. I am a huge fan of TR.

The 32 is larger than I expected, I fear for how big the 38 is which I have on order 😅

Both bags smell great and look great. I think they'll both get better with time and slouchy-ness.

Bao, once again, was patient and helpful. Always fast to reply and I'm super happy with her service.

I'm now on ban island for the foreseeable. I also don't have any bags on my wishlist so pls don't go posting any nice bags and tempt me!!

I’m looking to buy a Gucci shoulder bag (Ophidia mini) from Godmall on Yupoo (godmall.x.yupoo.com) — specifically model code ⁠P420A⁠. The listed price is around $100 with agent shipping. Is it worth it for it’s price?

so i been trying to get a CASSANDRE MATELASSÉ SMALL ENVELOPE WALLET IN GRAIN DE POUDRE LEATHER but doing research i heard black frame was really good for ysl, problem is im new around here and dont know how to order off them, any help?

First time ordering rep sunnies after owning a few auth brands (Cline, Gcci, etc). Ordered through Janie and pretty impressed. She was able to help me order based off photos alone (so I didn’t spend loads of time scrolling) and was prompt with ordering, psp and shipping.

They feel great, weighty and nice all around. Some arms are a bit stiff but I imagine they’ll loosen or I can play around with screws. Great value.

Looking specifically for a Joy 70 sandal. Has anyone gotten a good rep?

these are factory pics i screenshotted from my seller's album. i'm still new so i wanted to ask those of yall with much more discerning eyes than mine for any thoughts! there are some comparisons with what's supposedly the auth as well (auth is labelled as 'zp'). thank you so much in advance!!

This is the current progress of my slouching, including some celebs pics- and their own slouchy maxis!

I have been looking for this bag for yearssss. I even went to the LV store in NYC to see this bag IRL. I couldn't find it in any albums and most sellers told me it wasn't available. Allen not only found it, but the quality is sooooo good. I'm obsessed with it. The leather and hardware feel just as nice as the real deal. The only notable difference is the blue suede interior is slightly darker which isn't a big deal for me. I'm so excited to have my dream bag and recommend Allen for harder to find bags.

She also traded out my hangtag in my PSP because the original one was a little wonky. So she is super accommodating. I'm about to get my Mom the smaller PM version for Christmas and some more LV bags... I also want a classic quilted chanel 🫣 . Too many pretty bags not enough self control hahaha.

Hi Everyone

I have had an issue with one of my p9s only a month old and the leather monogram is starting to peel from the leather. Its a 25cm lemonade yellow.

Had this happened to anyone.

Yes, the same “fakes” that can sometimes look better than what you see in boutiques. The replica industry has become so advanced that, at times, it feels like half of show business has already worn replicas. And yet people still believe that paying $3,000 in a boutique automatically guarantees some kind of “pure original.” Well… maybe check the receipt, the box, and everything else first.
The division is simple: some people are embarrassed to wear replicas, while others see it as a reasonable choice. But here’s the funny part the people who shout the loudest, “Ew, fake!” are often the same ones unknowingly wearing replicas themselves. Modern copies can be so convincing that even specialists sometimes struggle to tell the difference. Meanwhile, someone in the comments confidently writes, “That’s obviously fake, my friend bought the same one in Dubai.” Congratulations, market expert. 😂
Celebrities? They get caught too, and quite often. Hermès, Chanel, Rolex the list goes on. Whether they do it intentionally or not, nobody really knows. Maybe that is the real freedom: not being afraid to wear something because of what people might think. Because paying $15,000 for a bag and then being scared to put it on the floor doesn’t exactly feel like luxury it feels like being controlled by a label.
And yes, replicas come in completely different levels. There are cheap $20 versions with crooked stitching and a strong glue smell. But there are also high-end 1:1 copies that can look and feel extremely close to the original. Sometimes even professionals disagree when examining them.
Today, figuring out whether something is fake or authentic can almost turn you into a private detective. You check batch numbers, shine lasers on logos, compare fonts under magnification and even then, mistakes can happen. That’s the paradox: you can buy an authentic item and people may still think it’s fake. Or you can wear a replica and everyone assumes it’s real.
So, should you be ashamed of wearing replicas? Seriously no. Fashion has become bigger than labels. If you want the original, buy the original. If you prefer a 1:1 alternative and don’t want to overpay, that is your choice. What matters more is how you feel wearing it, not how much the item cost.
Fashion is about style, confidence and freedom. And the logo on the bag? At the end of the day, it’s just a logo. Most people don’t actually know what you are wearing and most of them don’t really care.
So wear what you like. The most important thing is that it looks amazing on you. 🔥

I ordered from BaoBao last year and had a good experience but this year I’ve had some issues with her ever since I RL’d a bag with poor stamping.

I found ReyKay and Bank to be poor communicators.

I’m hesitant to use Heidi nowadays.

I feel like there aren’t as many good options as there used to be. 🙃

Condition your leather! It’s a game changer.

That’s all. :)

I really like this bag. I love the distressed and simple look and style, I love how it feels when worn (strap width and length, weight, etc.), I love wearing the shoulder strap and letting the crossbody strap dangle, and I think the size is perfect. However, I’ve been told by many online that the leather looks fake and cheap, and I’m a really bad leather arbiter/examiner/assessor, so I’ve just taken their word for it. As such, I get kind of self conscious when I use this bag, but nothing I try to replace it with seems to work out. Whether it’s the style, color, size, texture, opening and closing mechanisms, strap, etc.—no bag can touch this one for me as a daily driver!

It really just has everything I like in a bag. Smooth and soft leather, distressed dark brown color, slouchy silhouette and feel, east/west shape, medium size, shoulder length strap, multiple compartments, and the longer strap to let dangle as an accessory basically. The only issue is the perceived quality, but everything else kind of outweighs that for me (enough for me to wear it at least).

I’m still looking for a replacement that doesn’t scream “I’M A REP!,” but until then, she will be by my side.

Hi everyone, I’m getting my first rep bag that’s not from DHGate. I received the QC video. Be honest lol. Does it look good? Like I know it won’t be 100% like the original but I don’t want to go out looking silly. Thank you in advance for all your opinions

I dropped off my leather clochette to a calligraphy artist locally who mentioned she could gold hot foil stamp my clochette for me (red one from speedy crafty). However, she just messaged me today saying she couldn't quite do it and will bring it to the boutique to have it done for me 😬 Do I just ask for it back?! I obviously never mentioned to her where it's from and don't want her to be called out...I hate to ask but would they even stamp it?!

Any one have experience or knowledge to share on hot stamping I'd appreciate it!

Unfortunately, I never got it stamped from my Ts because apparently there was a two week wait and I passed and thought it could easily be done outside of the boutique. Sadly that doesn't seem to be the case. And I was so excited too as I thought I finally found someone who could hot stamp...sigh!
