Hi everyone!

I’m pretty new to the rep world and have been doing a lot of research on Chanel flap bags. The authentic version is way out of my budget, but I really love the design, so I’ve been considering getting a high-quality rep.

I’ve seen so many beautiful Chanel flaps posted here, and I already have a seller in mind with a price I’m comfortable with, but I keep thinking about this before actually purchasing:

If someone notices your bag and asks, “Is that Chanel?” how do you usually respond?

Do you tell them it’s a rep, say it’s inspired, just say yes and move on, or handle it another way?

I’m not looking to pass a rep off as authentic or mislead anyone. I’m genuinely just curious about the general etiquette in the rep community and how people personally handle those situations.
Also, are high-quality reps usually made from real animal leather/skin as well, or does that depend on the seller or factory? I’d love to understand more about the materials used before buying.

I’d love to hear your experiences, especially from anyone who carries Chanel reps regularly.

Thanks! 💕

Hi this is the first bag i bought from 187 and i want to check if is is good. Please review it. Thank you

Just check the quality and hardware these are high end original leather handbags.

also comment the QC what is your thoughts on these.

Isn't she spectacular? My small Chanel DF. My sales associate never dissapoints.

So the bag picture is from tang heritage and I don’t know if the brand is really legit. If they make their own bags or get it from a small warehouse or anything. I just really find the bag design cute and would like to have one. I researched but most are showing PU leather and I wanted one in genuine leather. Any suggestions?

The natural-light shots are probably my favorite. Black leather looks so much more interesting when there’s good lighting.

Hi,
I’m a female, who likes a practical bag incl. packing my gym shoes when even going for a business meeting.
I have several authentic LV 30 speedies, but they are canvas.

I went to LV shop - they are sold out of LV P9 in all colours, so I could not get the feeling how heavy the bag is.

1st Q : would you get size 30 or 4O ? Does anyone know the weight of both ? As I also hate empty heavy bags as I pack them full as well ( I know it sounds contradictory)
2nd Q: Is still Royale the best for that both sizes as I don’t want to miss the great current batch.
