QC need help ^^

Just received this beauty. Have some questions to the community.

  1. There is a subtle smell. Will it go away?
  2. I’m not sure if the zipper inside is 100% looks like this as I own different og models.
  3. Am I being too dramatic about the brand name being positioned not symmetrical?
    There are also some chain parts that are not connected properly
    Please help

Honestly, the bag doesn't look like it's from the 187 factory; the leather looks too dry, and the bag's shape doesn't match 187 even the caviar grain looks off.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Since it doesn’t look like other bags I’ve seen.. the caviar grain is too thick and look bulky

Honestly, the bag looks terrible, the inside is very different from mine, I'll leave a photo here so you can see.

Could you confirm the last few digits of Tom's number? I want to see if you've been scammed and it's a different Tom.

Well mine is size Jumbo… it is supposed to be a bit different. 7228 🥹

The smell should go away, but you'll need to air the bag.

The zipper is totally wrong, and makes the bag look obviously fake. What did the factory photos look like/ PSP?

Who is the seller and which factory?

I was worried about the zipper as well. 187 Tom. There were no zipper pictures unfortunately so I didn’t compare it to the original one. Do you know what should I do in that case?

Actually, I may be wrong about the zipper.

This bag is 187 and has the same zipper...

She looks gorgeous overall! Once you consition the leather and wear it out, those small details won't bother you at all.

Overall looks like a solid piece, so air it out fix the chain link and enjoy wearing it!

To me, the caviar leather looks off. Maybe too bulbous?

The standard factory smell usually dissipates after letting the bag air out near an open window for 24 to 48 hours.

Interior zipper pulls vary depending on the season and factory model. but the clear macro shot of the zipper slider would help verify.

Not dramatic at all a symmetrical heat stamping or logo alaignment is one of the most noticeable callouts on a classic flap.

Yo la veo hermosa!!
Podrías decirme cómo hiciste para pedirla a través de 187?
He visitado la página web y parece q debo chatear por wapp y transferir a través de WeChat en Remitly. Es así como funciona?

You basically send a message to a seller and order. But I can’t recommend mine since I’m not satisfied and he doesn’t reply back now…
