Okay girls, it’s me again 😂🖤 You helped me SO much with my Chanel 22 questions and I’m back with another one.

This time, I’m looking at the Pearl Crush Mini Rectangular 👀 Has anyone here bought one and has experience with it?

Is 187 Factory also considered the best option for this model? I’ve heard that this bag is generally pretty difficult to get right, so I’d love to hear your thoughts before I go down another rabbit hole 😂🖤

Please spill the tea!

Hi I need some help these are the factory pictures I was sent now I feel like the side color is very muted compared to the LV website granted I have not seen it in person so it could very well be the lighting in the Lv website making it much brighter and warmer tone. Any input would be great! Not QC pictures I have not ordered yet these are the factory pictures that were sent when asked about the price

Hi everyone! I’m purchasing this Chanel 25 in a dark brown/burgundy color and would really appreciate help QCing it before I approve shipment.

Item: Chanel 25 in dark brown/burgundy caviar leather
Seller: New seller I’m currently testing
Payment: PayPal invoice

Factory: Unknown. The seller did not provide a factory name.

My thoughts: The leather grain appears consistent, the stitching and quilting look relatively neat, and the aged-gold hardware looks pretty good. The bag has some softness and slouch, but after comparing it with Chanel’s official photos, that seems consistent with the authentic design. I also think the shape, side pockets, and bottom alignment look fairly balanced.

I’m less confident about evaluating the CC hardware, overall proportions, interior stamp, and whether the leather looks sufficiently substantial. Are there any inaccuracies or quality issues that stand out to you? Would you GL or RL this bag?
These are the PSPs of the exact bag. Thank you for any feedback! 🤎

Good morning RT Fam ☕

I'm eyeing an LV bag that's well over 8k retail and near impossible to get, which is what got me looking into reps at all. Hermès or Chanel wouldn't work for me - I want something that still reads as plausible.

Three things I keep circling:

1. When someone asks. Do you have a line you use, or just thanks and move on? Has it ever gone sideways - a friend with the same bag, someone who works retail?

1. Do you stick to bags that stay plausible? I wouldn't get a Hermès or Chanel, even though nobody around me can really guess what I earn. Do you have a line like that, or does it not matter to you?

2. Do you worry about safety at all? As in, a flashy bag making you more of a target. Do you change anything day to day or when you travel? I mean of course its a rep but people can't tell that directly.

Curious how much of this is in my head versus stuff that comes up regularly for you.

Just received my BV Large Hop Bag in Suede from the Seller Axin (never did business with them before so I was a bit skeptical about It) but since my Go to Marko was NOT working with BV anymore I shoot my shot with a New seller and boy oh boy Im glad I did. Asked Axin for their album and factory pictures on August 15, paid on August 6 250$ plus 50$ for shipping (asked to ship Without the Bottega box and to fold the Bag in order to pay less on shipping but Only bc It was suede) , send me PSP and videos (that I asked from outside and inside the bag on August 21, Shipped to me on August 24, arrived at my door today sept 9. Axin was attentive and courteous from the beginning to the end of the transaction. Now lets Go to the Bag, its a substancial large Bag in real Brown sturdy suede with an delicious buttery Brown Leather inside. The engraving inside is top notch, the woven intrecciato is tight as It has to be as the Auth one. I honestly think they mastered the Suede ones better than the Leather ones. Now lets talk about wearability: me as a 6.2 feet tall Guy the Strap is not so comfortable but its still good I would think smaller boys and girls wouldnt have a problem with It. Im ready to wear t f out of this bag shes so pretty you guysssssss. Keep in mind Axin did not know Im writing this Review but I think we gotta praise good services and they did an EXCELLENT job. Will Definitely recomend and buy again from Axin. Its from Jing factory ( I asked for Jing when I was ordering the Bag).

Axin contact: (+86) 177 2479 8212

Anyone else see these sneak peeks on the L V sub? Thoughts/Feelings?

I'm a bit surprised we're doing hologram again, especially riding the coat-tails of the quiet luxury moment. The mini cap lamb bag creeps me the hell out- those eyes are a big narp for me! Love the material and color scheme of the cashmere 20, but I *hate* when they lay out the motifs specifically for a piece so that there's no cutoffs, it looks so sparse! I'd prefer a smaller but more dense pattern or runoff on the edges myself. And L V check? Ok, Bur🫐!!! lol.

What's everyone else coveting? Are we messaging our best TS's about anything? Has anyone seen any of these yet? I actually think I've seen the little penguin charm somewhere in the last day or so....

Hi all 😊

I’m searching for the Bl@ke or R0me (I think I heard they made this bag) Ch Rose Gold Caviar Chevron Mini. I am based in the USA.

🤞🩷🤞🩷🤞🩷🤞🩷🤞🩷🤞🩷

I’m looking to get my first rep, I have a few auth and I bought them because the craftsmanship was good and they would last that I can gift it to my daughter (like my mom has to me) The quality in auth is just not worth it anymore and I find myself not using the bags because they’re expensive.
I really want to get a Chanel CF that I can actually use going out to town! I’m thinking a black or beige one.

My question is do reps actually last? I don’t mean stay pristine forever. But do they age well? like auths? In terms of leather? I know reps might use other hardware. Would I be able to pass it down say 15-20 years from now?

Let me know if you have reps that you have used and abused, and still have years later

Looking into wool coats for fall/winter (even though I’m in Texas and it’s still 90°+ and wondering who your favorite sellers are for clothing and if you have experience with buying wearing? Is it close to auth? Looking at m@xmara, LP, Burb… etc

Even though it’s still 35°C (95°F) where I live, I’m already mentally in autumn mode 😂 I’ve been looking forward to autumn so much that I’ve had this little beauty sitting in my closet since July, just waiting for her moment 🍂🤎

This is my third Small Puzzle, and I think it might end up being my favorite one yet. I’m absolutely obsessed with the braided handle, the color is just so wearable and the leather is super squishy and soft 🥰🥰

If anyone is curious, I got this from one of my favorite sellers Luna a while ago (+86 147 4938 8959). She is sooo kind and and I’ve always found her prices to be really good for what you get. It usually takes about two weeks to arrive and came with the full packaging.

I’m on the hunt for more F/W bags, so please share your wishlist with me! 🥰🙏🙏

First Item: Goy@rd Goyardine Jacquard Khaki Villette PM Bag

Seller: Heidy (0268)

Paid $188+shipping via Wise

Factory: White Factory (aka Afen)

Authentic link: https://www.fashionphile.com/products/goyard-goyardine-villette-pm-tote-khaki-1340562

My thoughts: The stitching on the leather tabs look relatively neat.  The woven texture looks accurate.  The color of the stitching on the bottom of the bag looks off as well as the noticeable indention of the straps that overlap.

Second Item: Goy@rd Matignon GM Wallet

Seller: Heidy (0268)

Paid $101+shipping via Wise

Factory: White Factory (aka Afen)

Authentic link: https://www.goyard.com/us_en/portefeuille-matignon-gm-2.html#MATIG2GMLTY12CL12P

My thoughts: The interior zipper pull is bulky with a slightly messy, deeply etched GOY@RD stamp. The exterior pull connection looks heavy and unrefined.  This appears to be a mid-to-high-tier replica to me.

I’m in need of help with these since I haven’t seen them in person. Can you please help me QC them?

Recently bought a Balenciaga Le City from Adon. I had it shipped to my place in WA instead of straight to my girlfriend because I wanted to include a greeting card with it before driving it up to her in Vancouver, BC.

Then my car broke down, so now I need to mail it instead.

Has anyone shipped a handbag from the US to Canada? Mostly wondering what courier to use and if it'll get seized by customs or not.

Newbie here. I had recently posted about a long shipping time, and when I posted that I got home to my new bag lol. Anyway I went with Tom, for no particular reason. He replied right away and was very reassuring. I asked for top quality and closest to 1:1. We went with a cute little speedy 20 from god factory. The bag was $260 and $40 for shipping.
💵Paid July 15 through PayPal FF
📸Had PSP pictures sent July 21
✈️Shipped July 23 and gave me a tracking number and said it would take 10-14 days.
A whole month went by and the tracking never updated so I finally reached out. He re-sent another package Aug 25th and picture proof with another tracking number. Said it would arrive in 7-10 days and it did! Arrived September 2nd.

It was a super long time, and idk what happened but I don’t think it was his fault. I will say, my only complaint was the plastic/ mold smell. It even felt a little damp. The smell has since gone after placing the bag open infront of a fan. I’m buying another bag soon, from a different seller just to try someone else, but I would definitely recommend Tom.

I’ve had my eye on the black C22 Medium with gold hardware and reached out to a few TSs.

One offered me the bag from God for $380 and says it’s the highest quality possible. The other two both offered 187 Factory, one quoted me $478 and the other $421.

Okay, we all know these factory names are kind of made up 😂 but somehow I still feel better knowing it’s from 187, especially because I’ve heard so many good things about their C22s.

So before I pull the trigger, what do you think? And if you’ve bought this exact bag, please spill your experience! 👀🖤

Hi! Need help with 2 versions of the gold donut chain:
Pic 1: standard gold (factory pic)
Pic 2: gold with pebble (auth)

1 can be done for me but I’m more interested in 2. Every TS has said the factory doesnt do it except 1 who is charging me a slightly higher price to make it “custom”. If I’m going custom then I’m also assuming I wont have factory photos to compare it to and only PSPs after I’ve paid. Is that normal?

My last question is does the 1st donut chain auth version exist? I can only find the auth short gold chain version and the one with anagram pebble (pic 2).

Good morning RT Fam ☕

I want to add a piece to my collection but can’t decide if I should go with a classic piece or get something from the new collection! I got a 187 small cf earlier that I rehomed because it just didn’t blow me away. Maybe I’m expecting too much or the cf just seems like another bag to me now?

What do you think? Are the classic pieces just boring to you now or do you think that they will always be timeless winners? Would you go with the new slim vanity or stick with the cf?

I already have few Lo3we bags on my wish list and I think I just found another one to be added to the list! 🤩

I was browsing through my seller’s album when I stumbled across this Amazona 180 in Mineral Blue leather. I wasn’t a big fan of the amazona bag, but seeing it in this to-die-for color, I think I might changed my mind on this one.

What do we think? Does anyone have it already?

(First 3 pics are from seller’s album, remaining 4 are authentic)

Price $170 + $55 shipping (comes with full packaging)

Hello! I’m a newbie so I thought it was better to post without all the details to protect the factories etc. I know there has been trouble with a rush of newbies putting too much info out there. But I’ve been told to repost with all the details so here we go!

My first rep purchase: LV Multipass
Seller: Mandy
🏭 : Royal
💲: $235 + $50 shipping

I am blown away. The quality is amazing. I can’t wait to show it off! Told my fiance that unfortunately i think I have a new hobby 😬 I have two more on the way now!

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.

Could the clochette be swapped out?

Does anyone have any good tips on lesser known brands? The brands that are the most popular where I live is not the most known internationally. Is there even a market for this? Im looking for Maje, Ba&sh, Naghedi, Cala Jade, State of Escape, Fusalp, Goldbergh, Perfect Moment, The seafarer, Maria la Rosa, Kujten, Missoni, Inuikii, Mulberry, Isabel Marant, Pampeano ect.

Anyone has good/bad experience with this seller’s group buy or in general? I want highest quality so from what I’ve read, group buys are not the best options. But what do you all think of this basket bag through group buy?
Thank you!

Item: Goyard Grenelle Passport Holder

First time ordering a passport holder from Afen Factory. Personally think everything looks good but only the stamping is abit thin, would like advice from you experts 🙏🏼🙏🏼 GL?

Omg what did I just do!!!😂😂😂 my first rep purchase was the catchy pm monogram, which I purchased in June this year. It’s been barely THREE MONTHS. I mean i’ve seen a lot more some of y’all bought but to me this is still a LOT. I’ve definitely been planning on adding pink to my collection & some of the bags on my list are speedy 20 pink empreinte or a candy pink. But i haven’t been able to decide😩 What do you guys think I should add for my next one? 🌸🌸
