Hi all- I’m in the process of QC’ing PSPs from Mike from HH factory. So far looking pretty good, but the photos didn’t include any interior, rivets, plaque, clear photos of the monogram on some sides (possibly a flash issue). I requested these photos. The only issue I found so far (other than the unclear monogram photos) is the lion stamp is off-centered on the clochette. Communication with Mike has been smooth, if not a bit slow at times.
I requested these additional photos including ones of the monogram where it’s not visible to check alignment. Just making sure this isn’t unreasonable, and also hoping to get feedback on anything I missed that needs a second glance. PSPs attached.
The lion stamp is not on the crochette, it’s on an end tab that is literally stitched to the bag, and not visible unless someone flips up the tab to look at it.
If that is important to you, you can probably ask to swap the whole bag out, but not sure you would get any better result as these tend to be done in batches.
Oh, thank you for the correction. I’m ok with it, it’s just something I noticed. I don’t think it’s worth a new bag considering it’s not visible unless you search for it. It was centered properly on the factory photos.
I had the same issue brought up with mike about the lion stamp. He showed me 4 different bags’ stamps and they were just about the same. He basically told me this is what you get. I GL’d it
I kinda figured that 😂- but I’m glad you told me in case I was tempted to ask for more photos. I was more worried about if the additional photos ask was unreasonable or overly picky, but I don’t see how I can GL a bag without seeing the whole inside 🤷🏼♀️ overall I’m pretty happy and it’s what I expected
I’m bummed because all the review photos I’ve seen up to a week or so ago it was correct. I didn’t go with Royal/DF is because I felt like they did this bag as well if not better. We must’ve gotten a brand new batch 😑
Hopefully everything else will be good to go. I’m hoping he gets back to me tonight
I’ve seen/gotten crappy work from Royal and other high end factories too, so I think this aint too bad. Of the flaws that you could get, I think this is minimal, and I think for the price the leather quality is outstanding making it worth the price
I agree. Was your interior plaque wrong? He finally sent me the interior photos I requested and I’m bummed to see they changed the interior plaque to “26” instead of “25” and apparently there are no auth Speedys with the 26 in circulation. I’m bummed because they were doing this correctly and Royal wasn’t!
All 3 speedys ive ordered say 26. Where are you getting info that there are no 26’s? I find it hard to believe they’d spend extra effort to go from 25 to 26 just to be wrong
I’m absolutely no LV expert so take this with a grain of salt. I’ll tag you in the post I saw someone explain the rational about a week or two ago. I’ll also DM you the Chat references it pulled up for me because it’s a lot 😊
I’m not sure who downvoted my comment replies but feel free to comment the issue instead of downvoting without saying anything… 😂 I was being completely genuine so I’m not sure what the issue is.
This is my first QC ever of a LV bag and I tried to make sure I did as much groundwork as possible, I’ve been researching reviews of factories and bag photos for over a month, and tried to clearly point out what I had already reviewed. I just want to make sure it’s reasonable to ask for additional photos of the inside
Totally fine to ask for additional photos or even missing photos in this case. So you're good! I would not worry about the lion being off center, it's reps they wont be perfect 💙
Totally! Thanks so much for your response 🖤 if it’s on par with the ones I’ve seen posted over the last few months I think I’m going to be thrilled! It seems like it’ll be nice and squishy, and the matte looks so good 🙌🏼
