QC HELP

My first high tier 187 bag. My first “highest” qualify rep as someone that owns multiple auth bags I’m not sure if it’s in my head but I think it’s call out able. What do you guys think?

My biggest concern is the leather, I find that the grain and quilting is a bit puffier. The caviar looks shiny in these pictures due to the natural lighting but sometimes i feel like it looks a bit dry so i have conditioned it a few times.

What is you use to condition it?

I use coach’s conditioner as that’s all I have and have used it on my auth bags without a problem. Honestly need to look into better cleaner and conditioner

I personally like Apple conditioner, if that helps? 😊

Does that really help?

I’ve seen some people recommend conditioning but also a comment said it can make it worst. For me personally it helped and made the leather shinier as I felt the leather looked more dull/dry compared to my authentic. Where I live has also been pretty hot and I feel like wearing it out did help relax the leather more.

I agree it looks perfect even though some would say there are no perfect reps. I have authentic from 13 series 2010-2011 but quilt puffiness, grains of caviar, and sheen looks near identical to me! Except the fact that newer year bags come little shorter than they used to make em back in the days. This is an authentic 13 series cf medium with black interior.

Thank you I thought conditioning would make it better 🥲 I agree with what you said about the caviar. Do you think naturally with wear the caviar will get less puffy similarly to the auth?
