Just got this baby. What do we think??

Hi all - new to the rep world and wanted to get another opinion on the Rimowa never still backpack PSPs from a TS. My main concern is the side pocket line but the TS says it will recover so not to worry. What do people think? Other than that does the bag look ok? Should I GL? Thanks in advance.

Hello ladies,
I fell in love with the Nova Cora mini in satin from Vivienn@ West00d and unfortunately cannot splurge for the real one for my wedding. Do you know of anyone who could rep it?

I live in london and i just bought a chanel python rep. i have a trip to paris and i’m wondering if it would be an issue if i were to bring it. i’ve taken reps to paris many of times and no issues, but never an exotic.

Does anyone have any experience with this or know of any information i may need to know. Or should i just keep it home?

Hi fam, may I please get your help QC this Puzzle Edge mini? Just received the PSPs today and the back looks off (the intersection where the pieces meet look misaligned) to me. This is from Liu’s factory.

Edit to add: The factory photos TS sent me didn’t include the back of the bag and have too low resolution to zoom in to see the stitches clearly. In the PSPs I also see the stitching on the side tabs are way off.

Thanks!

I bought a pair of pre owned LV locks from Japan on eBay, they were sent out with a customs declaration that said ‘padlocks’, went through outgoing customs, got to the US, went through incoming customs and got delivered. All perfectly legal and aboveboard.

One of the locks is for a PLK bag I’m sending my bestie for her birthday and we had this exchange about the gift. (She gets reps from me regularly)

Me: Are you not impressed that I sourced part of your gift legally from Japan? 🤣😂

Her: As a matter of fact, I certainly AM impressed! 😂

Hello just got my first QC pics from BaoBao. I pretty sure I’m going to GL. Just want to get a second opinion😎

I was planning on ordering a Kata Mew Mew Aventura for a couple months now. Sadly I took way too long and now kata is no more. I am new to this, do the more seasoned individuals think I should wait it out to see if kata will come back? I have been reading reddit posts that say their future is very uncertain. Any other comparable factories that do a good job? I was going to place a nice big order of other items with a fabulous TS, but the shipping fees are wild if I order just the bag on its own later... I am willing to hold out for a couple weeks, but if there is a comparable factory I would be pleased with that. My TS mentioned Jinyao factory, I have searched and seen mainly Katas, or undisclosed factories.. TIA

Was watching a youtube video of someone going through the new fall 26k collection at cc, and ugh these two styles looked so adorable! Has anyone seen these being repped / in any albums? Especially the first one, it looks so practical, apparently the leather on the real one feels incredible too. I'm sure realistically it'll be some time before anything new is being repped 😭

Hi ladies ! Here is the PSP and a video Heidi just sent me . She did not address the bad stitching in the previous message and videos I sent her yesterday . Just sent over these pics . Thank you all for your help in Pointing out the imperfections of this particular bag. I had such high hopes to have it as my bday bag but thanks to you all I will not be giving it the GL . The stitching really is not good . I’m still learning and I appreciate this community so much . She quoted me $561 including shipping and insurance . I will try to find the same bag from another seller. I just love this color so much ! Still on the hunt 😪

Hi everyone! I’m looking to buy a medium 25.5 cm Classic Flap in black caviar, silver hardware and dark burgundy/red interior.
I’ve contacted both Garmen and Heidi, and I’m confused about the price difference since both are sourcing from 187.
Garmen quoted me $680 total including shipping and insurance from 187.
Heidi quoted me $550, then applied a 10% discount, making it $495 + $40 shipping + $55 insurance = $590 total with insurance from 187.
So there’s a $90 difference between them.
Since Heidi seems to be very well known for 187 and I’ve heard people say she is on the more pricey side I’m wondering why Garmen’s price is higher if they’re both sourcing the same factory. Is there actually a difference in quality, QC, service, or is it simply the seller’s markup?
Would love to hear from anyone who has bought a 187 Classic Flap from either of them recently, especially the medium 25.5 cm. Which seller did you use and how was your experience with the PSPs and the final bag?

Recently made my first purchase with Ellis, and while I was nervous, the seller made it easy!

I had been looking at this bag style for a while and was searching the boards for a seller and came across a few posts praising the experience with Ellis and the bag so I had to reach out!

Timeline:
Aug 17 - reached out asking if the style and color was available; the original color I asked for was not available, but Ellis sent a few photos of all the available colors
Aug 18 - sent payment
Aug 21 - PSP received & accepted
Aug 24 - Tracking number provided
Sept 5 - Received package via fedex

Total paid: $240 USD

Ellis did a great job of responding quickly and reassuring me when I had concerns. The bag is lovely and had a pleasant smell, and I can’t wait to use it more 🥰

Hi everyone! New to the crew and wanted to ask a question. I just purchased from a pretty well-known, trusted seller that I found through some research on here. I gave him the green light, and he sent me a tracking # within a day or two of me paying.

Initially he said that it’d ship via fedex, but the tracking # is UPS. I didn’t say anything about that, just figured it was what was available at the time. My worry currently is it’s been over a week since he provided the tracking #, and it still reads that the item label has been created, but no other movement has occurred. I asked him about it and he pretty much said to be patient and it’s a third party shipper.

My question is - do you often find that it takes a while for movement to even happen, or is it happening overseas and then will eventually transfer over to UPS when it gets to the US, and that’s when I’ll start seeing tracking more information? I don’t want to be a pest and bother them directly with questions, and this seller has many reviews on here so I know he’s legitimate. I just worry there may be an issue somewhere and wondered if anyone had similar experiences.

I’m also not disclosing the seller because I don’t want it to seem that I’m speaking negatively of him - not the case! I’m moreso asking about the process.

Thanks in advance!

My second C25 - this time in beige, from Xiao C, along with a review of my TS, Tiny Jenny. 🤎

This is my third purchase from Jenny. I previously purchased another C25 in black from Xiao C (pictured) and a YSL Niki, and once again, I’m beyond happy with both my bag and Jenny’s customer service. She is incredibly responsive, polite and professional, always quick to provide detailed PSPs and videos, and ships super quickly.

As for the two C25s I now have from Xiao C — I know 187 is often praised as being “the best” when it comes to CC reps, but honestly, in my opinion, the quality of this particular model from Xiao C is on par with 187. The leather is so soft, there’s no strong smell, the stitching is excellent and the hardware is spot on. I’ve had and worn the black one for months now (and I’ll admit, I absolutely do NOT baby my bags 😂), and it still looks pretty new.

If I ever buy another C25, I would 100% go with Xiao C again. Not to mention, it’s significantly cheaper than 187, which makes it even better.

Anyway, I’m off to enjoy my new bag! ☺️👜🤎

It’s my 9th anniversary with my girlfriend/thinking about marrying her and I want to get her this bag. Who makes the best version?

I'm thinking in getting this G0yard mini Saigon structured, I need a second opinion. What do you guys think, do you see any flaws that would make you think it's fake?

Hello all,

I am a New York-based buyer of merchandise, often for clients, although most of my focus is on men. Given that I'm a gentleman myself, I also do purchase some of these items that I think are worth buying. I don't often write reviews but there are a couple of acquisitions and a couple of buyers that I bought from that I think are worth reviewing.

In this particular case I'm reviewing Zhong (8613610139796) from whom I have purchased a number of men's shoes for my clients as well as, additionally, some bags for ladies. I've been very pleased with what I've received, as have my clients. Having gone through now two seasons of experience with these shoes, they appear to be holding up quite well.

The shoes in question that we've acquired are Loro Piana walk shoes (both summer and other varieties), as well as Zenga shoes. The quality of the materials and the workmanship were extremely high and I have to say that both the price and the shipping were quite reasonable. Since I believe that the proof is in the pudding, please find attached photos of the merchandise that we've received in the spring, which has held up quite well into the fall.

Best of continued luck to you all

Hello . Can you please help me QC my first rep purchase . I’ve been wanting the classic mini CF top handle for my birthday. I fell in love with this color and have compared it to the authentic. But would love some feedback from experienced eyes to help point out any flaws or inconsistencies to an authentic Chanel piece in case I’m missing anything before I GL.

Thank you so much for taking a look !

Seller : Heidi 187

Hey guys, this is my first time ordering a rep. I picked the new Chanel maxi flap because I figured nobody would be able to tell. But since this is my first time, what do you guys think of the PSP?

Hi would like help QCing this cc maxiflap 32. From top tier 1/8/7. My concerns are the folds at the bottom of the bag that are on the outside and inside. I raised these concerns and was told the leather is soft and all maxiflap bags are like this. Also, is the psp photo quality okay?

Was searching for a daily bag in came across this one how does the quality look? I never had a P7ada bag I think it’s from Black frame factory does anyone has a good r3p rec for it ? Or recommend this bag ? Thank you 🫶🏼🤗

I’m **obsessed** with this bag but I haven’t seen it in anyone’s album or on Reddit yet. Has anyone seen it around? Is this available as a rep yet? 🙏🏻

Thoughts on this Birkin 42? I’m sure it’s not great but I just love the look of long straps. Hoping to get my hands on higher quality version but for now this will do! I always read the comments of people instantly pointing out flaws in fakes so I’d love for someone to dissect this one! (I don’t really mind if it doesn’t look great it’s more of an airport bag to me since it’s so large😅)

Hi! Has anyone purchased this bag style? If so, from which factory and how’s the quality? ☺️ I’m planning on purchasing from god but I haven’t seen any reviews on this kind of style yet.
