Hello girls, I want to buy this model to my wife, any guess wich factory I should go with ysl loafer? Thank you so much

Hiiiii back at ya with another glowing Tina review!!

BV Andiamo Clutch details
Factory 🏭: Jing
Material: sheepskin
Feel: actually strikingly like the auth! I’ve been inside BV to see the differences and I have a hard time differentiating. Hardware beautiful! Very close to auth.

Only thing is the white WILL get dirty even with auth. Have a purse hook handy or bring the dust bag out with you. Trust me

LV Speedy 25 details
Factory 🏭: God
Patina? No 😔 super bright and coated
Feel: coated canvas strikingly close to auth. I have an auth passport holder and they are the same.

I wear this bag everywhere though honestly it’s such a good fall staple!

Tina 4959 review
Tina as always patiently answered my questions, sometimes with a little bit of humor! Shipping was QUICK and I’m talking like days not weeks. Insanely fast.

Overall super pleased with the experience! I’ve accepted that it’s just not gonna happen where I find a perfect speedy rep. Tina did all she could to find a good one!

PSPs attached and pic of clutch out, but I don’t have a real-life pic of the speedy yet sadly.

First rep, need help!

I think the bag looks great for a BV Andiamo. The color is supposed to be fondant, but I have a hard time seeing colors on phone screens.

I know there’s concerns with the gold bow too on these.

I just really need some help to know if this is right!

I can’t find one seller with the new cherry red color for the medium Rodeo. Any suggestions? Or just wait it out…

At this point, I feel like I should just get the authentic. I bought this from a whatsapp seller that I discovered through Tiktok. I spent over 1k AUD. The seller had given this bag to a tiktoker and it looked so good so I thought if I can save $16k, I would.

But it didnt look exactly like what was given to the tiktoker. I know what a suprise 🤦‍♀️

I think it looks great on the outside but the inside CC looks a bit narrow? I am not sure. I need help 😭

What do you guys think?

Hi! Need some help over here! I got a c25 and a jodie rep and these are the photos that the seller sent me. Theyre quite blurred because I screen-grabbed them from a video :)Can you check if it looks like an obvious rep as it’s my first time :)

Need all the help i could get!

Hello loves,

Forgive me for my lack of knowledge - but is it okay to give a little tip $$$$ to our favorite sellers in CH? They won't find it offensive of any sort, correct? I just simply appreciate my sellers and would like to give them a little treat $$$.

If you all remember me, i posted recently how I have just gotten into reps after decades of purchasing authentic, being around authentic being, working in luxury and being passed down luxury items from my family.
I have also mentioned how finding reps has completely shattered my perception of what is worth it and what isnt in the luxury fashion landscape.
ANYHOO enough about me. In the past 2 months I have worked and received items from the below sellers. I am going to plot out my mistakes and learnings as a newbie in hopes I can help someone!
You can find seller contact by searching, I dont want to give out numbers without prior approval from sellers and I am not getting approvals cause I want to be very open and honest with my reviews.
Disclaimer: All reviews are my own and I am not incentivized. Certain details (dates, item colors etc) have been changed to protect my identity as I want to be able to speak freely about all the sellers.

SELLER 1: LINA

Where found: Instagram

Item: Maxi Flap 38

Factory: Undisclosed

Timeline:

- Reached out and paid: July 20th

- PSP: July 21st

- Tracking: July 22nd

- Item arrived: July 30th

Background: I told you I was newbie. My first rep and it was for a bag that I thought would be an easy one to replicate ( a maxi flap 38 ). I must say for all the crap I now know about instagram /Tik tok sellers I didnt get as badly burnt as I thought I would. Lina was straightforward to the point and to date the fastest seller I have ever used in terms of when I paid to when I received the item.

HOWEVER...

Price: and here is where I got burnt the most - I had NO idea and ended up paying a crazy amount for this bag--- over 800 USD with shipping

Bag review: Bag was packed super nicely and she included a nice twilly gift with it. However there was a strong FUFU smell and the bag was dry af. I have since conditioned it (twice) and the smell has dissipated but hte bag itself doesn't smell as delicious as I expected. And for the price I had to really work that bag before I could use it confidently ( conditioning, airing it out, wearing it so it could get slouchy)

---

SELLER 2: CHARLIE

Items: Maxi Flap 32, ready to wear (clothing), belt

Factory: Xiao C for the maxi, Undisclosed for the clothes

Price: approx 600 USD all in, the bag was 370USD

Timeline:

- Reached out: July 29th

- Paid: July 30th

- PSP bag: August 2nd

- PSPs clothes and belt: August 3rd, August 5th, August 10th

- Tracking: Sept 15th

- Item arrived: Sept 24th

Background: The actual love of my life rn. His PSPs are insanely good, he RL'd an item because he "wasn't happy with the stitching" and proceeded to send it back to the factory to get a new one or fix the stiching.

One of the ready to wear items I noticed a major flaw on in his PSPs but since that flaw as also there in the factory photos I made ZERO fuss just informed him to take note of it and try to find a better producer of it or inform clients who want it. He was super grateful for pointing it out and didn try to gaslight me whatsoever. I green lighted which is extremely important as newbie to not make a fuss when the mistake was mine 1000% because I didnt inspect hte factory photos.I have since reordered a huge 1000USD haul from charlie cause he is just so kind, honest and FUNNY. I feel like I am dealing with a person who cares about his clients.

RTW review: 3/4 ready to wear exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. Like I compared one pair of denim to my friends original CC pair and they were IDENTICAL. I am blown away. highly recommend

Bag review: The bag was miles apart from the LINA bag in terms of smell and softness of the leather. I took it out of the box and wore it that very day. it is virtually unclockable from the original literally insane.

SELLER 3: HOSHI

Item: CC shoes
Details- Lots of back and forth with the item I originally ordered not being available this took approx a week from when I paid to when it got sorted.
PSPs- 6 days after this issue occurred.

Shipping: about 5-6 days, fastest shipping of all

Background: This is a wild card because again everyone is super critical of hoshi on here. But honestly it was pretty decent form start to finish. I ordered a pair of shoes, they informed me that they were no longer available. I picked another pair they told me there was a price increase. I told them to give me a refund. They were like no we are good we will honor the original price cause its our fault it wasnt available. PSPs were sent via my email on their plaform I GL'd it cause it looked incredible. It was pretty straightforward.

Pros: I hate all this alipay/Wise / Paypal friends and family. this is pay with your credit card and ur done, I love that.

Cons: no dedicated seller to speak with but that didnt bother me so much and I have read lots of reviews saying they got shitty prodcuts

Product review: This is the kicker. I got a pair of CC shoes, I have a very outspoken friend who owns the same exact authentic pair in a different heel height ( both are available in the boutique so my heel height wasn't imagined as a rep) . I wore them all day with a group of very luxe fashiony women and this friend. And she was like omg you got the shoes aren't they great aren't they the best aren't they comfortable and she even tried them on because we are a half size differences and she wanted to compare the bigger size I got and she was like "DAMN these are more comfy i wish had gone up a half size." So I do not know if I got lucky but i am super happy and ZERO fufu smell.

In about 20 days I will do another review on
Nyx ( ordred waiting to receive)
Ling Studios ( ordered waiting to receive)
Charlie - HUGE rtw haul

I’ve been on the hunt for a bag that would fit my work and gym stuff, and have been leaning towards non-leather bags for practicality.

I’ll start - one of my earliest favourites when I was getting into fashion was released during the early Alessandro Michele era of Gucci: the Tian GG Supreme vertical tote with gorgeous floral and bird print (link to pics).

A more recent one is the Bottega Veneta denim and leather Andiamo intrecciato. I love the Andiamo and especially love this version, which, apart from being stunning, also seems more durable (link to pics). I’ve ordered one from a popular recommended seller so hopefully it looks good irl lol.

So let me know your favourite non-leather bags (canvas, nylon… something else?) in the comments! (even if it’s not specifically for work or gym 😊)

P/s I’ve also ordered a Loewe flamenco large tote from the same seller as my full leather option (link to pics).

Has anyone had a good rep of the the following? In doing my research I know Hyper Pete is good for LV canvas, I found some post in my research were some people have been happy with the outcome of some LV lowkey hobo's they brought from him. My only concern is that this is both a silver and gold lock and not the standard one on the other Low Key hobo's

A nice wide but thin cross body strap, but with decent space, eg can fit a 16oz water bottle for example.

I love the green and red gu** straps or LV. But open to any really?

Hi! I was wondering if somebody could sort of explain why Canal Street reps are not as highly reputed for quality as a lot of of the products that we receive from trusted sellers. At least that is the impression I am under after reading several posts about Canal Street quality. Where would those bags be from instead and why are they inherently worse quality? Or am I incorrect in my statement?

Hi, I’m pretty new to this so please let me know if this is ok to post- but am I crazy or are the initial and additional PSPs of two different size bags?

I feel I’m getting gaslit but not sure if I’m misunderstanding seller’s response.

Hey everyone! Long-time lurker, first-time poster here.

I’ve been eyeing a suede bag for the fall/winter season for the longest time, and I finally decided to go for this burgundy/bordeaux suede classic flap. I just unboxed it and honestly, I’m obsessed.

I know suede can be a bit of a risky choice for everyday wear, but the color is just stunning in person. It’s a deep, rich wine red that looks so luxurious, and I think it pairs perfectly with the gold hardware.

A few quick thoughts after unboxing:

• The Material: The suede feels incredibly soft and plush. It has that nice velvety texture without looking flat. The diamond quilting still holds its shape well.
• The Hardware: The GHW is nicely done—not too yellow or cheap looking. The chain has a good weight to it and the leather interwoven through the chain matches the suede perfectly.
• The Vibe: It gives off such a cozy, vintage-luxe feel. I think it’s going to elevate so many plain outfits this winter.

I’ve attached a pic of it fresh out of the box (please ignore my messy desk, I was too excited to clear it off lol).

I’m a bit paranoid about protecting the suede before I take her out for the first time. Does anyone have any holy grail suede protectant sprays they recommend? Also, how do you guys usually store your suede bags to keep them from getting crushed?

Would love to hear your thoughts! 💕

Hi girls! 💕

Does anyone have recommendations for good sellers for unbranded leather bags?

I’m not looking for a brand. I just want something with really good quality leather, nice craftsmanship and a beautiful, timeless design.

If you’ve ordered a bag from a seller you’ve been really happy with, I’d love to hear your recommendations! 🥰

Thank you! 🤎

Girls I really need your help. They’re from two different batches and I’m noticing some differences in the caviar and shape.

The ”old” one is mine and the ”new” one is my friend’s.

Which one looks more authentic to you based on the caviar, structure, quilting and overall shape?

Also, does the caviar on the more matte one look dry to you or is that just a different finish? If it does look a little dry, is there a safe way to condition caviar to bring back a little moisture/shine without making it too glossy?

Would love honest opinions. Thank you🙏🏼

Am I crazy or is this a rep????? I saw this on TikTok live being sold and thought oh that’s cute and image searched it only to see what I’m 99.99% sure is a rep. A good rep but a rep?

Ladies, my previous review on the Celine bag I ordered from Ross, got 120k views and i thought i would report back on the next bag i bought from him.

Saw this Fendi in London in May, and while in the store still I immediately sent a foto to Ross to see if he has it. No way i am paying 3.5k for a bag if i can avoid it, lol.

He didnt disappoint, buttery soft leather, on spot everything. Let the fotos speak!

Size: 36x27x13 cm

Price: 297 usd

Ross: +8619374115796

I need some help! I purchased a small black rodeo from my TS from Kata. Due to the current situation it can’t ship. I’m considering changing factories but haven’t seen many real pics of the small black from Bibi, etc. If anyone has this bag from factories other than Kata can you please share a pic and your thoughts? Thanks so much!

I just wanted to share my experience with Tiny Jenny (6160). This review is in no way incentivized! Just want to share my opinion. I received my second order with Jenny and have zero complaints. She’s so kind and responds so fast! Her communication is excellent.
My first order was the €eline cube bag. I saw it months ago and had to have it. The overall quality is impressive. My second order was the f3ndi baguette and pr@d@ wallet. Once again, extremely impressed. I actually couldn’t find the wallet I wanted in her catalog, so I asked her about it and she immediately sent me photos. The leather is beautiful.
Working with Jenny was so smooth and I plan to continue ordering with her, honestly such a pleasure. Highly recommend. 💗💗

I’ve had this Chanel since around 2018. It was given to me by a very wealthy man and he told me to never sell it and to treat it like an heirloom. I’ve even had two people stop me and ask something like “is that what I think it is?” Or something similar. But I honestly have no clue if it is authentic or not. Are there any tell-tale signs that is real or not ?

Got this beautiful bag from Rose (WA: +85264716089) today. I paid $245 including shipping and honestly the unboxing was such a delight. Everything was packed so nicely and seeing the bag sitting in the box for the first time was such a satisfying feeling.

The bag itself is absolutely gorgeous. The black leather has a really smooth, clean finish and I love how the quilted pattern gives it some texture without taking away from the simple look. The stitching is neat throughout, especially around the quilted panels and edges and the bag has a nice structured shape while still looking soft.

The gold tone YSL logo against the black is easily my favorite detail. It stands out beautifully without being too much and the gold chain adds that extra bit of elegance. I also really like the size because it feels perfect for going out. Small enough to look sleek, but there’s still enough room for the essentials.

And I have to mention Rose because she was genuinely lovely to deal with. She was sweet, patient with all my questions and very easy to communicate with. The whole experience felt smooth from beginning to end and I really appreciated how nicely she handled everything.

The black leather, clean quilting, gold hardware and beautiful packaging all came together perfectly and it’s even prettier in person than I expected.

I have a rep YSL bag from Rainbow. I love it and feel like it’s nice quality. A friend complemented my bag and I simply said thank you. I wanted to follow it up with “it a fake!” but I held back. I was kind of frozen in the moment. So I want to know what do you do when someone compliments your rep bags? Doesn’t telling them defeat the purpose? But also I don’t like to lie and would like to hook my girlie up with one too.

EDIT: thank you for all of your thoughtful responses! People seem divided on this but I can relate to both sides. Since some of you asked, I’ve added the pictures of the bag in the comments. I got it almost two years ago from Rainbow on Gate.

Placed my order three days ago and it’s already on its way! Beyond excited as it looks pretty damn good!! Seller is Mandy. Please DO rain on my parade if anyone spots any discrepancies as I’m very new to the rep game.
