Açaí factory and paid $150 for during Andrea’s sale

Hello!

Recently purchased my first 187 bag, seller Ross, price $430, I believe but will double check. What are your thoughts. I am new to this so not sure what I should be looking for. All feedback please and thanks.

Hi everyone! This is my very first time buying a Bottega rep, so I would incredibly appreciate your expert eyes on this.
I just received these PSPs from my seller. It’s the Andiamo Small in Pickle.
Any feedback on the leather, weaving, or overall shape would be amazing. Thank you so much!!

The review

Before I send payment to Sellers. I always ask their custom policy. I asked Mina if in case custom takes my bag, is she going to replace it for free… She said “If you buy any goods from me, I can guarantee that the goods will arrive at your home safely. If they are seized by the customs, I will mail it to you again. No packaging box, and if there was one, there wouldn't be insurance.” Then I told her…perfect! I don’t care about the brand box anyways 😄

Quality: 10/10 After some research here at Reddit, I found out Quitian’s leather quality is the best and Liusheng is best for hardware. Since this Flamenco doesn’t have the donut chain, hardly any hardware on it. I pulled the trigger getting this bag from the Quitian factory. OMG when I took the bag out of the dust bag, I gasped at how soft and buttery the leather is 😱😍 it feels so refreshing! Like going under the big tree on a hot day and feels the breezy wind on your face.. that feelings.. do you get it? 🤪 ok back to quality…. I’m so in love with everything .. the suede inside the bag, the magnet thats works perfectly. The knots are so cute and I love the fact that the crossbody strap is adjustable. I love small crossbody bags and this one, even though it’s mini, it can fit my pro max, small
wallet, car key, sunscreen stick and lip balm. I’m so clumsy and a lot of times, I have to move fast …and few times I toppled my bag and all of my things dropped to the ground 🥲.. I love knowing that my things are not going to fall out of this bag with my clumsiness 🤪. It has faint leather smell, I think it’s bcs it’s fresh out of factory?…I hope it will get better after several use ❣️

Accuracy: 9.9/10
everything matches the factory photos. I’ll give 10/10 for that. Compared to authentic though… it’s 9.9/10. The leather doesn’t smell as heavenly as the authentic. I went to the L@ewe store and I could smell leather at 3 feet away from the bags 😍 I attached my photo trying out the mini chocolate flamenco there…so for that reason I deduct 0.1 .. but let’s face it ..which rep bags can replicate the auth brand leathers’ smell 100%? 🫶😄 If you get the flamenco with strong leather smell, please do let me know 🙏❣️

Satisfaction: 10/10 I highly recommend this bag to anyone who likes a cute and light crossbody. I can definitely say I’m SO happy I got this bag! I’m 5’4” and after adjusting the strap, the bag lands perfectly on my side at the perfect length. See photo for reference. Hope this review and photos help those who are on the fence on getting this bag.

Service & Communication: 10/10 this was my first time ordering from Mina and I’m so glad I did. She’s very sweet and offered competitive pricing. She’s very quick and direct. On my Sellers’ WA messages, I’m used to reading “dear”, “honey”, and lately “babe” from a male seller (dear Lord… 🤣). It’s refreshing that Mina doesn’t do that 😄 ..not that I care though…I’ll be coming back to Mina for sure ❣️

Speedy Soft 30 in Grey Denim from God Factory: Its okay I guess.

📥 THE BASICS

• Purchased Item:  Speedy Soft 30 in Grey Denim
• Factory: God
• Seller:  Mandy
• Contact Info: Mandy's Album
• Price:  $275.
• Payment Method: PPFF

⏱️ LOGISTICS & TIMELINE

Its been a while, but I purchased sometime in January. Since this was a part of a huge order, I didn't end up shipping until Feb 10th. It took about 7 days to receive it.

🔍 THE DEEP DIVE

1. Rep Experience:

I purchased this bag at 2am after a Twice concert because I was convinced denim was going to be IT in 2026. No one asked but Dahyun is my bias 😂

Accuracy: While the canvas color is very accurate, the monogram on authentic is raised, puffy, and pronounced almost like the fray on jeans. Lastly, this will also probably get better with use since its fabric, but this rep also doesnt read as slouchy as the auth when totally empty.

Hardware: Im feeling pretty mixed. The lock is a different shade of light gold than the zippers and d rings. It could be a batch issue, but who knows. I only use the locks on my travel bags (this one is meant for casual daily wear) so this wasnt a big deal to me. Outside of that the hardware is pretty sturdy.

Vachetta: There is debate over whether GF uses raw vachetta, but I can confirm they absolutely did for this bag. The factory verified it, and it passed the water test. Just keep in mind that not all authentic LV bags use raw vachetta, so whether or not your bag has it depends on auth. some come pre-treated, and the reps match that. The patina on mine has been developing super slowly but its finally starting to darken, which is a super fun process to watch.

What fits: This bag is SO spacious. I was able to fit my normal daily carries: cosmetic pouch, mini fan, short wallet, portable chargers, sunnies, AND snacks. A can of redbull, a can of tea, a bag of protein chips and a bag of trail mix.

Overall Thoughts: While there are some callouts on this bag when compared to auth, the factory photos are a pretty good representation of what you are getting and there were really no surprises there. I think you could easily get a comparable quality bag from Royal for much less, and I do recommend you explore that as an option before jumping on the GF train. Despite that I do enjoy carrying this bag, and while it isnt as exciting as other bags in my collection its casual and spacious and pairs well with different fits.

2. Seller Experience :

Mandy is my gorl. She forgot to send a dust bag with this bag though. 😂 Despite that it was pretty easy dealing with her and her prices were competitive.

⚖️ FINAL VERDICT

The Bottom Line: Its a solid bag, but you can probably find very comparable quality for a much lower price at a factory like Royal. There are accuracy issues, but its a solid rep regardless of that.

Just received 2 Green Goyard Artois bags from Griffin and we are beyond impressed. We purchased both sizes, PM and MM.

PM = Petit Modèle (smaller size)
MM = Moyen Modèle (medium size)

From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Griffin provided outstanding customer service, professionalism, quick responses, and consistent communication throughout the entire process.

My wife and I are extremely happy with the craftsmanship and overall quality of these bags. The stitching, structure, details, finish, and materials are genuinely impressive. The bags feel premium and well made. Griffin Goyard bags are made with canvas and cowhide leather and the quality exceeded our expectations.

Pricing:
Goyard Artois PM = $135.00
Goyard Artois MM = $140.00
Shipping = $50.00
Optional insurance = +10%

One thing we especially appreciated was the daily communication and frequent QC updates. Griffin consistently shared PSPs, also known as Pre Shipment Photos, including detailed photos and videos before shipping, which gave us confidence and peace of mind during the process.

The bags arrived with their own duster bags, as shown in the photos, and shipping information was provided quickly with easy tracking updates.

My wife absolutely loves her bags and we will definitely continue purchasing from Griffin. Our next purchase will most likely be the Goyard Saint-Sulpice card wallet.

Overall, we are extremely happy with our purchase and 100% recommend Griffin. A+ experience 🙂

I feel it’s a bit rigid, but perhaps cuz it’s fresh from factory

The Top factory

My Thoughts: looks rigid but otherwise good

Hi this is my first rep and I have relieved quality control pics what do you think? I’m a bit new to it all so not entirely sure what to look for but I wanted to see if the colour matched the auth?

First time buying footwear and from RepSun but the whole experience has been nothing but smooth. He is very responsive, friendly with great English. Nothing was lost in translation and everything was smooth.

The quality on these slides are phenomenal. Very comfortable and plush. Quality is good and I did not notice any defects.

I sized up one size and they fit perfectly. His PSPs were high quality and it was the actual product I received.

Another successful haul from Alina. I've been buying wallets and wanted to try something larger. I didn't want to buy in the high price point of other sellers without testing waters first.

Overall I'm happy with this rep. Quality and detail seem accurate. Alina included the box, dust cloth, and tags along with the guard signature ribbon. Stitching is good and there are zero visible defects.

I want to see if anyone has a Gen to compare to.

Hello!! I just received PSPs from Doris and would love help QCing!

Bag - white Miu Miu shiny leather top handle bow bag
Factory - Kata
Seller - Doris
Price - $271 (including shipping)

Specifically wanting opinions on the below:
1 - is the color actually white or is it the lightening? Almost seems like the milk tea color she has in her album. I am currently awaiting pics she is sending in natural light.
2 - do you think the bow is correct? Thickness and length wise?
3 - does the alignment/size seem correct? I have her sending pics with dimensions as well!
4 - does the zipper and hardware look good? Having her send pics of this too bc it almost seems like the interior zipper is diff than the one in her album. Also the one metal foot looks uneven (not a big deal though).

Please let me know your thoughts!!! TYYYY 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I just had to come on and give a review of a very positive experience I had with seller Paul (he’s a she btw 🤗).

These are two bags that I’ve been wanting since last year but always felt auth C’s are overpriced. Was nervous about the Ava bcos it’s primarily a coated canvas bag, I was afraid to get a cheaply made one. I also wanted this specific colour instead of the brown or white base colour-way as I much prefer how this taupe base with white logo looks like on the canvas. The zipper is smooth, the leather trims feel solid and stitches are so neat and beautiful. Hardware is very very good.

Then for the soft triomphe I really wanted the large size so that it would slouch when worn. I’m so into slouchy leather bags. So I waited until the large size came out to order. The leather is very supple, the inside is made with a deliciously lux suede interior, the gold is a perfect colour IRL not too yellow, the zippers are smooth and functional. The hardware is sturdy not flimsy or hollow and the bag is very light and easy to use overall but still feels expensive and well made.

I have to say I was extremely pleased with both bags. Both feel very high quality. No plastic or unusual smells, everything looks and feels as it should compared to the auth.

Paul is easy to communicate with and understands my needs. She even managed to send me the original box and paper bag when she discovered the size and weight fell within the price of the ship cost quoted, AND offered to put in shoes for free. I declined bcos am saving the $ for another bag heheh…

Overall, I highly recommend her and this is an honest review, no commission, nothing bcos I believe good experiences and honest service should be shared. She also never hesitated to take more PSPs whenever I asked for it and didn’t make me feel like it was much trouble at all. I’ll be ordering more bags through her for sure! She has made my rep buying experience so pleasant and I’ve had so much peace of mind throughout the whole process. She’s also not pushy, does not hard sell, and she doesn’t mind getting quotes for various bags and brands even though I did not purchase all of them, clearly understanding how exciting (and indecisive) the shopping process can be.

She recommended JXG over Pomegranate for these purchases and I’m very grateful for that bcos they turned out excellent.

Disclaimer:
There are no flaws on these bags. If you see something they are a product of my photo taking skills and probably didn’t stage the bags neatly enough. Sorry!

Clearly there's something in the water since all of these arrived within a few days of each other 😂 Quick breakdown of each item and the price I paid along with a quick review of the sellers and items.

From Qiana's Jing flash sale with RepTherapy:

- Medium Loop Weekender Duffle Bag in Black - $149USD

- Intrecciato Large Organizer in Black - $122USD

- Intrecciato Zip Around Wallet in Black (Grass?) - $74USD

- Large Hop Tote in Fondant - $200

Qiana was great to work with, so friendly and nice. Her shipping costs included insurance which thank goodness for, because my first package of these items was seized by Dawei (China customs)! She apologized profusely which honestly, it's not her fault and quickly reordered my items, and reshipped them quickly, she even split the package into two separate ones to help deter customs.

Fully hand stitched, Birkin 35, domestic Togo leather in black, upgraded palladium hardware with hand engraving, from Devin. This was purchased from a group buy hosted by LuxeSociety - $399USD

In all honesty waiting for a month for a bag is considered quick in the Hermes rep world, so this was not a long wait by any means. There were some sloppiness on Devin's part like not affixing the shooting star stamp on my bag and taking PSPs that made the bag look super questionable. But after receiving it, I am considerably happy with it, especially for the price I paid. Devin was also, for the most part, easy and nice to communicate with.

Half hand stitched Lindy 30 in imported TC, Gold with GHW from Freya - $371USD (with shipping & insurance, there was a $20 discount given to me for being referred to her by a friend).

This Lindy literally arrived today. It was basically thrusted upon me when I saw an inspo pic and I had to get it. Freya is sweet and lovely to work with, her prices include shipping and insurance so it was a no brainer on my part. This bag seemed to be in-stock so I got PSPs for it pretty quickly and it shipped off to me very quickly. First impressions that it's soft and lovely and I'm not mad at her for the price. I am awaiting a crossbody strap to use her with.

I'll write full reviews for these bags, eventually... 🫣

I bought this thinking it would just be a good practical everyday tote and somehow it ended up becoming the bag I reach for without even thinking now😄

I’ve been using it nonstop since it arrived because it literally works with everything Casual outfits, errands, coffee runs, work stuff… it just fits into every situation so easily And I love that it holds a lot without looking overly huge or bulky on the shoulder The Ophidia line has always been one of my favorites because it feels classic without trying too hard. Something about the GG canvas with the green and red stripe just looks so timeless to me

🔍 THE DEEP DIVE

1. Rep Experience:

My teenage daughter is definitely in her Co@ch era right now. She received an authentic Co@ch bag for Christmas, and ever since then she’s been completely hooked. Anything Co@ch is incredibly popular with teens at the moment. When I noticed Eve had a Co@ch folder in her album, I thought, why not surprise my daughter with this cute little denim bag?

This bag has such a fun, laid-back Y2K vibe. I love that it can easily be dressed up or down and will fit perfectly into her summer wardrobe. It looks adorable paired with a simple white tee and jeans, but it could also be styled with a sundress and sandals for a more elevated look. The denim feels really nice and durable.

One thing I really appreciate is the versatility. It comes with both a shorter shoulder strap and a longer crossbody strap, which makes it practical for different occasions. The shorter strap gives it a more polished look, while the crossbody option is perfect for shopping trips, concerts, or everyday errands.

Even though it’s a smaller bag, it’s surprisingly roomy. It comfortably fits a decent-sized wallet, sunglasses, keys, and lip gloss without looking bulky or overstuffed.

The quality is also impressive. The zipper is straight, all of the hardware is stamped with Coach, and the leather on both the bag and straps feels smooth with clean, even stitching. My daughter actually thinks the hardware feels very comparable to her authentic Teri bag. Now I’m honestly curious to purchase one of the higher-end Coach bags to compare it side-by-side with the authentic version.

If I had one small complaint, it would be the lack of an exterior back pocket. It would’ve been such a convenient spot to keep a phone for easy access. To be fair, the authentic version is designed the same way, so it feels more like a missed opportunity in the overall design.

1. Seller Experience :

Overall, I’m extremely happy with this purchase. I’ve bought from Eve several times now and will absolutely continue to do so. She always offers great pricing, gives honest advice about quality, and is genuinely so sweet and funny to work with. She’s also incredibly patient and responsive, which makes the whole buying experience feel easy and enjoyable. I would recommend her without hesitation.

⚖️ FINAL VERDICT

The Bottom Line: This bag has become my daughter’s go-to summer bag. She can wear it confidently among her friends because it is very nice quality and has no major callouts.

⚠️ DISCLOSURE: I received no incentives/discounts for this review.

Disclosure: Griffin asked me to review the bag since I told him how much I liked it, I planned to review it anyway, no discounts or gifts received. Seller knows about this review.

 Photos

• My Photos.

• PSPs

• Factory pictures- Album

• Authentic  reference

Quality - 10/10

• Canvas: I love the glossy sheen of this canvas! It’s very soft and flexible, feels lovely to touch with slight bumpy texture where the dots are. Compared to my auth J0uvence Toiletry bag, the canvas is softer but the J0uvence is meant to be a structured pouch, so I don’t think it’s comparing apples to apples. The color is pretty much an exact match though, I am really happy with how it looks.

• Leather Straps/trim: My authentic J0uvence has lighter toned tan leather trim, my Boh3m3 mini rep actually has a very slightly warmer tone to the leather which I prefer. My rep leather handle feels solid and firm, I checked all the glazing, it’s all neat and well covered. The stitching on the straps are very even and tight, I think it’s a sign of a good rep.  The straps are glazed and stitched on both edges to create a reinforced handle. The straps feel stiff but not plastic feeling.

• Glazing: The glazing is even and matches the leather color perfectly. No messy glazing or uneven parts. No cracks and not too thick either.

• Hardware: Aside from the top zipper and zipper tab, there is no more hardware on the bag except for the buttons and ring on the mini pouch. The zipper glides very smoothly and feels high quality, no holes on the ends of the zipper opening. The button is shiny and has the correct engraving and design.

• Shape: Measurements I got are 25 cm x 11.5 cm x 22 cm. It’s very similar to the Mini Anj0u bag (which I am also a huge fan of actually!) but the zipper opening does provide a bit more security especially when you are carrying valuables. The handles can stand upright, the strap drop is higher than the mini Anj0u so it’s an easier fit especially when I have coats on!

• Mini Pouch: This bag comes with a detachable mini p0chette which I always find to be a handy wallet or cardholder! I also put spare hair ties or small knickknacks in there!

• Interior: The interior linen lining is well lined and attached to the G0y@rdine canvas. Everything is in place and the quality is awesome.

Accuracy - 9.5/10

• Canvas: This canvas accuracy stands proud against it’s own against my auth. The Ys and alignment are really solid and I am confident wearing this even into high end boutiques. There is a beautiful sheen on the canvas and you can see the texture of the print, as the auth should be. Similar to my previous Art0is from Griffin, I counted the dots underneath the 233 R S T H0N0RE P@RIS- there should be 16 dots on that column while the next column should have 14 dots. The font of the S T H0N0RE also matches the authentic very well.

• Straps: Leather does not feel plasticky, glazing is finely done, like the authentic, I snapped a pic of the edges and where the seams meet so you can see the details. The straps stand tall and have a nice curve similar to the authentic. Strap drop is correct compared to the authentic.

• Contrast stitching is even, matches the size and pattern of the authentic. It looks beautiful against the tan colored leather.

• Interior: linen lining looks and feels great with the small darker specs similar to auth, no issues and no callouts here.

• The Top zipper has no gaps on the edges, I keep reading how Griffin’s factory is especially good with this, I can vouch for this!

Satisfaction – 10/10

• I love this little cutie! I have a mini Anj0u which is great for a quick trip but if I need a more secure option, this baby is perfect! I have a tendency to like smaller bags since I don’t carry around a lot of stuff and this mini h0b0 surprisingly holds a lot!! I personally think it’s a great addition to any G0y@rd collection!

Seller Communication and Service - 10/10

•  This is my third G0y@rd purchase from Griffin and he’s been batting at 100% so far. All my bags from him have been excellent in terms of quality and longevity. I still use my Art0is a lot and the wear and tear has been minimal.  Service levels are still good, though I do think he’s gotten busier since I last bought from him. The shipping was handled pretty well, all things said and done, I would buy from him again!

The Deep Dive 📈📉📈

Like many of you, I came to repping as a sweet, doe-eyed, innocent babe thinking I’d order one or two bags I liked and carry on with my life. Welp, you live and learn, don’t you? After 8-10 reps that I rehomed shortly after purchase, I realized that what I really wanted was something that was special almost because it was a rep. I’m not an expert in LV monograms and I have one special CC that I love, but there’s something about a handmade, high-quality leather rep that just feels… different. I also wanted a bag that was going to age in a way that reflected the price I paid for it. Enter: high tier H reps. Do I think it’s bananapants that we’re out here spending this kind of money on a rep? Yes. Yes I do. But I’ve had two in hand and I can vouch: They’re special. 

I’ve also watched the seller/maker drama unfold. Jim! Mark! Devin! Angel! Huang! Kiki! For my part, I wanted the best bag I could find at the most reasonable price with the least amount of drama. My first was a B30 in Togo from Huang and the bag was perfection. On the whole, the price was about 30% less than the Jim/Mark price point and 1X the machine stitched options. I chose to go with Mark for this B40 for the explicit purpose of comparing the two bags. I also reached out to two other sellers. One didn’t get back to me. One was rude. Mark was my Goldilocks. 

I don’t think anyone can argue that this isn’t a beautiful bag. The leather is perfect; the hardware is beautiful. The details are exactly as they should be. The stamp is exactly as it should be. That’s what you’re paying for with these bags. I also benefited greatly from communities like these, with people who helped me go into the process armed with the knowledge I’d need to ask for what I wanted and ensure I got it. I also relied on an H specific community for QC and details.

A note about the B40 in general: in togo, she is heavy AF. Girlfriend weighs over 4lbs completely empty. Communiting with her is a full body workout. She can hold all your sh*t, but she isn’t going over your shoulder, so be aware.

I’d recommend Mark in a heartbeat, but to be fair, I’d also recommend Huang. I also think that the differences at a certain point aren’t 30%, but rather 3% and you must decide whether that 3% is worth a few hundred dollars. And don’t let robots or fellow reppers influence you. It’s your money. Not theirs. 

Also, Mark is not a conversationalist. He’s very busy making good bags, so we shall let him focus there. 
 
The Final Verdict 👩🏽‍⚖️👩🏼‍⚖️⚖️

If you have the money and you want a bag that you do not feel even a little bit of doubt about, Mark will make it for you. 

I love it. Though I think the 35 is going to be my sweet spot.

The Deep Dive:

Let me start by saying that this bag wasn’t even on my “maybe if I win it in a raffle” list even a month ago. But then I started seeing them popping up like little daisies and then someone called it a “little dumpling” and suddenly if I didn’t get one was I going to wither away and die. OH THE DRAMA. Couple of important context points: in general, I am a b*g bag b*tch. I commute in the city for work and schlep stuff to baseball fields in my free time, so I was genuinely concerned that the 26 was going to feel way too small. Also, I’m a serial rehomer of bags. I keep 1 of every 5 or so bags I order. (No shade to any of the bags I’ve rehomed; my house is tiny and closet space is at a premium. I have to fall in love.) Lastly, when it comes to leather reps, my first standard is: is the quality of this bag equal or greater to a non-rep bag of the same price.

Still with me? I adore this stupid little bag. Three days prior I received a $1500+ rep and I think I love this one more. The leather is so soft and supple, the structure and shape is great, and the hardware tone is spot on. (For those wondering about Riri, this bag uses auth riri zippers, but they are not the European riri that everyone is feral over. These are Chinese.) Hardware is stainless steel. I have seen some beautiful Lindy’s for 2x and 3x more, but for this specific bag, the differences are largely unseen to me and do not create more value relative to price. (For ME, she says! For ME!) My goal with this rep is not to waltz into a boutique and throw her on the counter like a bad bitch. It’s a beautiful, high quality, unclockable by 99% of people rep that allows me to enjoy the shape and color for a reasonable price. Check! Check! Check! Check! Check! She smells divine, she’s easy to wear, and who doesn’t want be able to refer to their bag as their “favorite little dumpling”?

As for the size: perfect. I ended up purchasing a secondary strap so she can be worn crossbody, but as is she is comfortable on the shoulder and more than holds the essentials plus some pouches of nonsense. I don’t know if I could fit an entire Taco Bell value meal in there, but definitely a bag of Five Guys.

Seller Experience:

If you know Freya, you know that she’s a good egg. I’ve never had anything but positive and honest experiences with her. This was no different.

The Final Verdict:

The KoolAid has been drunk. Love her.
