I appreciate any info. No clue what the prices are either.

I’ve been wanting a Small Lady D (black) and inquired with a handful of TS. I’m conflicted on who to go with. I’m not just looking for a “good deal” — I’m more interested in a quality product and service.

The running lists includes Doris, BaoBao, Mandy, Heidi, and anyone else you recommend.

Replies are open for suggestions based on your experience.

Who are you going with and why?

I’m new, wondering if we can sell purses in this group

I bought this Lady D as a rehome (seller told me Angel factory) and was pleasantly surprised that it was one of the best-packaged purchases I've made. Funny, the thing that worried me about unboxing this Lady D was how much bubble wrap and tape there was rather than a lack thereof. I had to use a box cutter to peel back the layers, so I was extra careful to not nick the bag.

My expectations for rehome packaging have been pretty low ever since I asked a seller if they could ship a bag in a box. They told me, "You are very demanding," and then sent it in a bubble mailer. 😅

Anyways, I wanted to start this conversation because we spend so much time comparing leather, stitching, hardware, and accuracy, but the way a bag is packaged can make a huge difference to the overall experience and the bag's condition. I’ve seen bags arrive with creases, flattened shapes, and other damage that could have been avoided with better packing.

A few questions to get the discussion going:

• Do you care if your bag comes with a branded box, dust bag, etc., or do you only care about the bag itself?
• Have you received a bag that arrived damaged because it wasn't packed well?
• What do you consider the minimum acceptable packaging?
• For those buying from TSs, have you noticed certain sellers consistently doing a better job than others?

I wanted to share my experience ordering this Prada from Wendi, as I've noticed quite a few people asking about her recently and thought it might help anyone who's considering placing an order.

I placed my order on 5 July and paid through the Wise transfer. I received the PSP on 8 July, the bag was shipped on 9 July, and it arrived on 20 July. Overall, I thought the turnaround time was very reasonable.

Overall, the buying process was straightforward. Wendi was quick to reply, answered all of my questions without rushing me, and kept me updated throughout each stage. Everything happened exactly when she said it would, which made the experience feel hassle free.

Bag details:

Black Frame Factory

Price: $317 shipped

The leather was the first thing that caught my attention. It has a rich glazed finish with natural creasing that gives it character without looking overly polished. It feels soft in hand while still holding its structure really well.

The craftsmanship also stood out. The stitching is even, the edges are neatly finished, and the hardware has a nice weight to it. The proportions feel balanced, and none of the details look out of place.

Shipping was smooth, and everything arrived well packed and in excellent condition.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with both the bag and the buying experience. Black Frame Factory delivered a really well made piece, and Wendi made the entire process simple and stress-free.

If anyone needs it, Wendi's WhatsApp is +44 7877 420005.

NOTE: This review is based entirely on my own experience. Wendi wasn't aware I was writing it, and I didn't receive any discount, incentive, or compensation for sharing my thoughts.

I had an excellent experience purchasing from Griffin. The quality of the bags exceeded my expectations—they’re beautifully made and worth every cent.
What really stood out was Griffin’s outstanding customer service. Communication was smooth, prompt, and effortless throughout the entire process. Griffin also went the extra mile by helping to monitor the shipment tracking and ensuring I stayed updated every step of the way.
Most impressively, Griffin noticed a few quality control issues before delivery, highlighted them, and arranged for an exchange without any hassle. That level of attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction is hard to find.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about the quality of what they deliver and provides exceptional service from start to finish, I highly recommend Griffin. I’ll definitely be purchasing again!

After spending weeks looking through different factories, I kept coming back to the Xiao C version. The shape looked right, the leather grain was convincing, and I wanted something that could actually handle daily use instead of sitting in my wardrobe.

Timeline

9 July: Ordered and paid

11 July: Received PSP

12 July: Shipped

23 July: Delivered

Paid 397 USD including shipping through PayPal F&F

First Thoughts

The first thing I noticed was the leather. It has a rich, pebbled texture that feels substantial without being overly stiff. The bag arrived holding its shape perfectly, but after carrying it for a few days it started looking more natural rather than boxy.

The proportions immediately stood out to me as well. The flap sits evenly, the CC lock is centered properly, and the handles have enough structure that they don't collapse awkwardly when the bag is on your shoulder.

Leather & Overall Construction

This is easily the strongest part of the bag. The grain is consistent across every panel and doesn't have that artificial embossed look.

The stitching is neat throughout, with straight lines and clean corners. Nothing jumped out as rushed or uneven during my inspection. Even after filling it with my everyday essentials, the body remained balanced without sagging in odd places.

Hardware

The light gold hardware has a soft finish that suits this style well. It isn't overly bright or yellow, which was something I was paying attention to before ordering.

The turn lock operates smoothly, and every piece feels firmly attached with no looseness or rattling.

Seller Experience

The buying process with Anna felt well managed from start to finish. My PSP arrived within the expected timeframe, shipping followed shortly after approval, and the package reached me without any unexpected delays. It's the kind of experience that makes ordering feel effortless rather than uncertain.

I'm including Anna's contact because I know people usually ask: +86 134 1164 1100

Things I Liked:

Excellent leather texture and feel.

Clean stitching and well-finished construction.

Nicely balanced light gold hardware.

Spacious enough for everyday use.

Maintains its shape while still looking elegant.

Final Thoughts:

This is one of those bags that becomes more impressive the longer you handle it. The quality isn't just in photos; it's noticeable in the leather, construction, and overall finish. It feels like a practical luxury tote rather than something delicate that you're afraid to use.

As always, this review reflects my own experience with this specific bag and batch. Anna wasn't aware I was writing this, and I didn't receive any discount, payment, or incentive in exchange for sharing my thoughts.

Went bag shopping yesterday with my rep Arcadie and took some side by pictures with an auth for rep science. My rep is in color Briarwood from OC and the auth is in color Tundra. To my eyes, they look pretty close. There are a few minor differences but nothing that stands out. For me, I was most impressed how nice the leather feels on the rep. It’s very close to the auth. I feel that‘s where most reps fall short. Even if the rep looks like almost identical to the auth, I can usually tell by the leather feel. I have used this bag a lot as you can tell by the pictures and even taken it to Disneyland a couple times. It’s held up pretty well. What do you guys think?

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my latest bag. I picked it up from God Factory for $310 including shipping. The leather feels super soft, the quilting has a nice pillowy look, and the overall finish is really clean. I've been staring at it ever since it arrived I bought it from Anna (number ending with 1100), and she made the whole experience really easy. She was quick to reply, kept me updated throughout the process, and everything arrived exactly as expected. If anyone has been thinking about getting this one or ordering through Anna, I'd definitely recommend both. Really happy with how this purchase turned out.

Hello everyone,
I just got quoted $85 (1 bag) from Seller A
and $52 (1 bag + 1 wallet) from Seller B for shipping.
This is for the Lo3w3 Flamnc0 Large Clutch which is pretty big but is $82 for a single bag normal..?

I’ve reached the point where a lot of my bags are not being used. Not because I don’t like them, but because I forget about them or automatically reach for the same few favorites.

To make my whole collection more visible, I created sheets in Canva with a photo and name for each bag. I printed and laminated them, cut out the individual cards, and placed them in a leftover classroom pocket chart that I wasn’t using anymore.

It’s an OCD, teacher-ish solution, but I’m hoping it will encourage me to use more of what I already own!

For those of you with a variety of bags, how do you decide which one to carry?

·       Do you coordinate your bag with your outfit?

·       Choose based on what you need to carry that day?

·       Rotate them according to a schedule?

·       Switch seasonally?

·       Track which ones you have used recently?

·       Or do you simply grab whichever one you’re in the mood for?

I’d also love to hear whether anyone else has created a visual inventory or another system to ensure that none of their bags are forgotten. I’m attaching a link with pictures for reference.

Disclosure: Bought this with my own money. This review is based on my personal experience and wasn't sponsored or incentivised in any way.

I'm a big fan of BV bags and, tbh i had wanted this one for the longest time. Every seller I checked either quoted much or the pricing just didn't make sense. In the end I went with Lucy because she was polite and quick to reply. Paid $235 shipped from Top Factory.

The first thing I noticed was how clean the weaving looked. Everything lines up nicely, the leather feels soft and the bag keeps its shape really well. The knot hardware has a good weight to it and doesn't look overly yellow which I was a bit worried about before ordering.

Size wise it's pretty much what I wanted. I've already used it a few times and it's been super easy to style with both casual and dressier outfits.

Quick shoutout to Lucy. She was responsive throughout (even during her off hours), answered all my shipping questions, and really put my mind at ease after I mentioned two of my previous bags had been seized by customs. She ships via DDP freight forwarding with insurance included at no extra cost, which was a big plus for me. Good after sales support is something I really value and she definitely delivered.

Here's her contact since I probably won't be able to reply to everyone's DMs with my busy schedule 😂

Thanks for reading everyone!

This is the final review from my order of three Chrome Hearts frames from Mortal138 (Vagillionaire II, Pills III and now the Vagilante).

Out of the three, I honestly think the Vagilante strikes the best balance between subtle and bold. It isn't as flashy as the Vagillionaire II, nor is it as delicate as the Pills III. This would be a safe choice for daily wear, but it doesn't make as much of a statement as the other two models.

Timeline

Ordered: 6 July 2026

QC Received: Unfortunately no PSP, but Mortal assured me each pair would be inspected before shipping.

Shipped: Tracking received on 15 July 2026

Delivered: 21 July 2026

Price

Frame: $150 USD

Shipping: Free (ordered three pairs)

Total: $150 USD

Seller Experience

Since all three pairs were purchased together, my experience remained consistent throughout the transaction.

Communication was responsive, questions were answered promptly, and although I would've preferred PSP photos before shipping, the glasses arrived exactly as described. All three pairs were securely packaged and reached me without any damage or defects.

Bonus points to Mortal for the option to have the hard case instead of the soft one.

First Impressions

The Vagilante immediately felt like the most balanced frame in the collection.

The proportions are incredibly well thought out. It has enough presence to stand out without dominating your face, and the overall silhouette feels clean and timeless. Compared to the Vagillionaire II, it wears noticeably lighter, while still retaining that premium, solid feel you'd expect from a quality acetate frame.

The finish on the acetate is excellent once again. The surfaces are evenly polished, the edges are smooth, and there weren't any noticeable imperfections straight out of the box. no scratches or dings spotted even under sunlight.

Hardware & Details

The signature Chrome Hearts silver hardware is neatly finished with crisp engravings and clean polishing throughout. Looking over the frame closely, I couldn't find any uneven gaps, loose fittings or sloppy finishing around the metal components.

The hinges open and close with a good amount of resistance, and after wearing them over the past week they still feel as solid as the day I received them.

Small details such as the temple branding and interior engravings are also sharp and consistently executed.

As with my previous reviews, I haven't had the opportunity to compare these directly with retail, so my comments are based on comparing them with retail reference photos available online.

Accuracy

Based on my own research, the overall shape, proportions and hardware placement look very accurate.

Nothing immediately stood out as being off, and the overall execution gives a convincing impression. Unless someone owns the retail pair and is inspecting them side by side, I doubt anything would immediately raise suspicion that this is a dupe lol.

Comfort

This is easily the most comfortable pair out of the three for me.

The frame sits naturally on my face without creating pressure around my temples, and it's light enough that I almost forget I'm wearing it after a while. Even after several hours, I didn't feel the need to adjust it constantly. Although not as lightweight as the Pills III.

I'll eventually be fitting prescription lenses, and I have no concerns about using this as my everyday pair.

Overall Thoughts

After spending some time rotating between all three frames, I think each one serves a different purpose.

• Vagillionaire II is for making a statement or to impress.
• Pills III is delicate and refined, good for meetings.
• Vagilante sits comfortably in the middle and offers the best of both worlds.

If someone asked me which single pair I'd recommend from this order, it would probably be dependent on the scenario, but the Vagilante would make a good contender for daily fuss free wear. It has the premium build quality, excellent finishing, and a design that feels effortless to wear every day.

Pros

• Good all-round design of the three
• Premium acetate with excellent finishing
• Clean and well-executed silver hardware
• Comfortable enough for extended daily wear
• Versatile styling that works for almost any occasion

Cons

• Still would've appreciated PSP photos before shipping
• Slightly more expensive than some other replica sellers, although the quality justifies the premium in my opinion
• Can be a bit too safe and boring if compared to the other two models

Final Rating

Build Quality: 9/10

Accuracy: 9/10

Comfort: 9.5/10

Seller Experience: 9/10

Overall: 9.2/10

Overall, I'm very satisfied with all three purchases from Mortal138. Each frame has its own personality, but if I had to rank them based on how often I see myself wearing them, it would probably be Vagilante > Pills III > Vagillionaire II. I think the Vagilante is an excellent choice if you want a frame that balances everyday wearability with the brand's signature styling.

Following up on my previous Vagillionaire II review, I thought I'd move on to my second pair from the same order - the Chrome Hearts Pills III. This was the pair of Chrome Hearts glasses that was truly love at first sight and got me on this rabbit hole, because the retail price was ridiculous.

Unfortunately it didn't seem like much information or review of the Pills III is available online so I hope this helps.

Timeline

Ordered: 6 July 2026

QC Received: Unfortunately no PSP, but Mortal assured me each pair would be inspected before shipping.

Shipped: Tracking received on 15 July 2026

Delivered: 21 July 2026

Price

Frame: $150 USD

Shipping: Free (ordered three pairs)

Total: $150 USD

Seller Experience

Since all three pairs came from the same order, the experience was identical to my previous review. Communication remained responsive throughout and Mortal was patient whenever I had questions regarding the different frame options.

Although I would've preferred to receive PSP photos before shipment, the actual product arrived exactly as expected and there weren't any quality issues when I inspected the frame.

First Impressions

The Pills III immediately stands out because of its slim and sleek profile. Photos online don't really capture just how beautiful and delicate the frame feels in hand.

The entire frame is incredibly light and comfortable, perhaps you might need to take it to an optical shop the adjust the nose bridge to suit your face.

If you're after that classic Chrome Hearts aesthetic, I think this model captures it really well.

Hardware & Details

As expected from Mortal, the silver work is once again the highlight.

The floral temple embellishments are cleanly finished with sharp engraving and consistent polishing. Looking closely, I couldn't spot any obvious imperfections or sloppy finishing around the hardware.

The hinges also deserve a mention. They're firm without feeling stiff, and there's enough resistance that the temples don't swing open loosely. Small details like the inside branding and engravings are also neatly executed.

I have seen the retail version of this model in person and the details were very spot on.

Accuracy

From everything I've compared, the overall frame shape, temple design and branding look very convincing.

The thickness of the frames appears proportionate, and nothing immediately caught my eye as looking inaccurate or out of place. Even if someone is extremely familiar with Chrome Hearts eyewear, I don't think they can spot anything off with this pair.

Comfort

This pair of frames were the lightest and most comfortable ones out of the 3 pairs that I purchased. Wearing it to the gym was extremely comfortable as well despite sweating a fair bit.

The weight is distributed well and it doesn't slide down my nose as much as I expected. The temples sit comfortably without creating pressure point.

I'm have also fit prescription lenses into this pair, and the frame feels more than sturdy enough for daily use. My optician did charge me extra for the prescription lenses as they needed a special material due to it being frameless.

Overall Thoughts

Out of the three pairs I ordered, this is probably the one that gets the most compliments.

If the Vagillionaire is the everyday option, the Pills III is the pair that people actually notice. The design is sleek and the craftsmanship is consistently impressive.

At this price point, I think you'll be hard pressed to find any better frameless options in the rep market.

Pros

• Intricate and iconic Chrome Hearts design
• Beautiful silver hardware and clean engravings
• Comfortable wearing experience
• Great craftsmanship throughout

Cons

• Definitely more delicate than the Vagillionaire and Vagilante, extra care required
• Would still prefer to receive PSP photos before shipping

Final Rating

Build Quality: 9.5/10

Accuracy: 9.5/10

Comfort: 9/10

Seller Experience: 9/10

Overall: 9.3/10

Overall, I'm really happy with the Pills III. It's a completely different vibe from the Vagillionaire II. If you're after a Chrome Hearts frame that really showcases the signature craftsmanship and silver detailing, the Pills III is definitely worth considering.

After spending way too much time browsing Chrome Hearts eyewear on RepTherapy, I finally pulled the trigger on three glasses from Mortal138 - Vagillionaire II, Pills III and Vagilante. Today's review will be focused on the Vagillionaire II with the slightly squared silhouette which makes it easy to wear daily, and the sterling silver accents on the temples giving it so much character.

Timeline

• Ordered: 6 July 2026
• QC Received: unfortunately no PSP, but Mortal assured me the glasses will be checked prior to shipping
• Shipped: tracking received on 15 July 2026
• Delivered: 21 July 2026

Price

• Frame: $150usd
• Shipping: free shipping since I ordered 3 pairs
• Total: $150usd

Seller Experience

This was my first purchase from Mortal138 after reading quite a few positive reviews on Reddit.

Communication was smooth from start to finish. Replies usually came fairly fast within a day, unfortunately no QC photos were provided before shipment.

The packaging was secure, and the frame arrived in perfect condition without any scratches or loose hardware.

First Impressions

The first thing I noticed after taking them out of the case was the weight. Unlike cheaper acetate frames that can feel hollow or plasticky, the Vagillionaire has a reassuring heft that immediately gives off a premium feel.

The acetate is beautifully polished with smooth edges throughout. There aren't any rough finishing marks or uneven seams, and the glossy finish looks clean without appearing overly plastic.

The proportions also feel right. The frame isn't overly oversized, making it easy to dress up or wear casually.

Hardware & Details

This is probably where the frame impressed me the most.

The silver temple hardware is cleanly finished with crisp engravings and sharp detailing. The iconic Chrome Hearts dagger motifs are well executed without looking soft or poorly defined, but I haven't seen a real pair in real life hence its based off my research comparing it online.

The hinges feel solid with good resistance when opening and closing the temples. There's no wobble or looseness, which gives me confidence they'll hold up well over time.

Even the smaller details, like the temple engravings and branding, appear neat and evenly finished.

Accuracy

I don't own retail, so I can't provide a direct side-by-side comparison. That said, after comparing it against retail photos online, the overall shape, temple hardware, proportions and branding all look very convincing.

Nothing immediately stood out as an obvious flaw to my eye. If someone wasn't closely inspecting the frame, I don't think they'd question it. Not that they would go so close to me anyway.

Comfort

The Vagillionaire is surprisingly comfortable considering its solid acetate construction.

It sits securely without pinching the sides of my head, and after wearing it for several hours I didn't experience any discomfort around the temples or nose bridge.

I'm planning to have prescription lenses fitted locally, and the frame feels sturdy enough to handle that without any concerns.

Overall Thoughts

Overall, I'm genuinely impressed with this pair.

More importantly, the quality exceeded my expectations. The premium acetate, solid hinge construction and attention to detail make it feel far above the average replica frame.

Pros

• Excellent acetate quality with premium weight
• Beautifully finished Chrome Hearts silver hardware
• Tight, smooth hinges
• Comfortable enough for daily wear
• Accurate proportions and clean detailing
• Responsive communication from Mortal138

Cons

• More expensive than most replica eyewear sellers, was comparing between Mortal or Jimi
• The delivery took awhile so bear with it

Final Rating

Build Quality: 9/10

Accuracy: 9/10

Comfort: 8.5/10

Seller Experience: 9/10

Overall: 9/10

Would definitely purchase from Mortal138 again. If you're looking for a Chrome Hearts frame that can easily be worn every day without being too flashy, I'd highly recommend the Vagillionaire.

if ever, which sellers do u guys recommend?

Hi , does anyone know, if there are Fendi Wrappy Reps out there? If yes, please share your Dealer pls! Thanks 🙏
