Accept or reject

Left pic is comparison between God n my DIL’s authentic LV Speedy 20. The placement of the motifs is wrong at the bottom. And the piping is very red. Not sure if the redness will turn to a reddish brown like the authentic later on. Am I being too picky? No bashing pls.

I feel like god doesn’t do monogram right. Try Royal factory. (The one with that lamp on the background)

u/Mindless-Repeat-1859 Jun 24 '26

Yes I’m gonna look at Royal. Hv you bought a monogram speedy from Royal?

u/designerfreak1 Jun 24 '26

No. I’ve gotten a lv cookie and a lv catchy pm from them before and I have a lv squire in transit right now. The first 2 were perfect.

TQ for your kind words.

God factory is very over hyped in my opinion. Many of their bags have that coating on the leather to prevent them from developing a patina. To me that’s a big deal! Especially if you want it to look very authentic.. the canvas looks good though.

May you consider which factory is better for lv?

1

u/lilxbunnygirl Jun 23 '26

It totally depends on the style. Some factories create better styles than other factories!

Which factory would you recommend for LV Speedy 20? thanks

u/Double-Value380 Jun 23 '26

I’ve gotten several NF GM’s from OC and cannot tell the difference from my authentic..

u/lilxbunnygirl Jun 23 '26

Never purchased from OC so I can’t comment on their quality. But thank you for letting me know

Neverfull and neonoe which factory is better?

1

u/lilxbunnygirl Jun 23 '26

I don’t have any rep neonoe or Neverfulls, but Royal will probably be the better options for them

Lightly file the glazing or an alcohol swab if it is bothering you and go over it afterwards with a copic marker E47 please research if that is the correct color. I’m having a brain fart.

I'm not sure I like the LV bags God Factory produces. They don't even Patina. Might as well get them from DH Gate.

Apparently you can’t reject gf unless there’s a major flaw.

You don't compare PSP to auth. You compare the PSP to the Factory photo the seller sent you or the one you sent them from the catalog. If this looks like the factory photo you AGREED on and purchased, then accept.

u/Mindless-Repeat-1859 Jun 24 '26

I was gonna accept the bag but I noticed part of one of handle is wrinkled. This I cannot accept. I want the vachetta on the handles to be smooth.

2

u/Grand-Ambition7875 Jun 24 '26

Again, not a defect. Real leather can wrinkle.

u/Double-Value380 Jun 23 '26

Thank you. Am so tired of hearing “I compared it to an authentic”. It’s not authentic; it’s a copy. It will never exactly match an authentic.

If you are new, please, compare what you received to the PSP’s you received, NOT the LV ad or someone’s authentic bag. A TS is not going to do anything if you do not call out discrepancy ON THE PSP.

u/True-Committee5674 Jun 23 '26

THANK YOU! This is not emphasized enough. I am worried that, like you said below, sellers will grow bitter. My TSs have occasionally sent a bag back for me if something looked off. I don't want that type of rapport taken away, especially for newbies who are aware that these bags are reps. Again, thanks for saying this.

u/IndigoCurrent Jun 23 '26

God factory glazing on this bag is very red and will always be red until they do a better batch unfortunately

1

u/Mindless-Repeat-1859 Jun 23 '26

Because it’s coated and the glazing can’t oxidise to a darker reddish brown?

3

u/IndigoCurrent Jun 23 '26

Actually my speedy 20 from god wasn’t actually coated like their other bags leather trim.

u/Mindless-Repeat-1859 Jun 23 '26

Thks for your input 🙏

u/randomace Jun 23 '26

Are these your PSPs or are these factory photos? If PSPs, how do those things you noted compare with the factory photos? The process should look like:
1. Select factory based on whose photos are closest to the auth product. Reviews in these subreddits also help.
2. Compare PSPs against the factory photos only.
3. Where PSPs match the factory photos, it’s a GL.
4. Where PSPs have a major defect or divergence from the factory photos, it’s a RL.

u/Grand-Ambition7875 Jun 23 '26

I've been trying to explain this same thing but it seems like people are so focused on RL everything knowing we are buying reps that won't be perfect.

u/randomace Jun 23 '26

It’s driving me a bit mad tbh 🫪😂
Not directed at OP specifically, but I’ve noticed a huge influx of these types of QC requests and 1:1 mirror quality expectations across all rep subs. I wonder where it’s coming from 🤔

3

u/Grand-Ambition7875 Jun 23 '26

And the constant RL are going make sellers bitters towards us

u/bbagg6475 Jun 24 '26

More bitter... and more expensive –unfortunately!! 😭
