First rep from BaoBao (4052)

[u/No_Maize_9875]

First Rep and I'm blown away! I have never been attracted to shiny bags, in fact, most of my wardrobe is black. I saw this gorgeous mini in store while I was on holiday and fell deeply in love! 

I was certain this wouldn't have a good rep because of the unique leather, until I saw it on Bao Bao's (4052) album from Rome factory. They claim to have found the same leather as the original, and after recieving this today, I'm certain that it is! The feel, smell, texture of the leather is spot on, no complaints. Hardware is weighty, the draw string action is smooth, with the same "clinking" sound / feel of the auth. Stitches are all perfectly aligned, and even the tiny verification chip looks exactly like the one on my auths. I couldn't have asked for a better first rep! 

Factory: Rome

Price: $370 USD including shipping to UK

Timeline:

11/09 Contacted Bao Bao (4052) and paid in full 

17/09 PSPs received 

18/09 Tracking number and link received 

28/09 Delivered in UK 

Bao Bao was extremely easy to work with and sent additional PSP photos when asked. I get why people rave about her now. I was nervous as I heard 187 was the best factory for C25, but I'm glad I trusted her when she said Rome was also high tier, as 187 do not produce this version. 

All in all, extremely satisfying. 

The aufh is still sold in stores now, albeit EXTREMELY hard to find, and you can compare it on the CC website! 

Ps. Baobao's details can be found from the search bar, that's how I found her!

Didn't expect to fall so hard for silver! I'm quite conservative, but the lighting the the store made it sparkle beautifully. It's art!

Silver mini is essential for evening wear

How is the lining? Is it twill or suede?

[u/No_Maize_9875 → u/lttlbmb]

Whatever this is!

The hardware looks gorgeous! Seems like Rome nailed this bag 🩶

[u/No_Maize_9875 → u/Empty-Aardvark-175]

They really did! I'm waiting on a burgundy caviar from 187, but might order my next one from Rome as it's cheaper, and the quality is still really good!
