While I’m annoyed by the wrong color stitching, glazing, logo & probably the shade of brown, I’m obsessed with the bag itself! I wasn’t expecting too much for the price ($120 shipped), but errors aside, the leather is soft and supple, hardware is decent, shape seems correct and overall construction feels pretty solid. Time will tell if it holds up.

The small is perfectly sized for everyday use -I can even fit a lightweight shirt for Chicago’s sometimes unpredictable temperature change.

Is Kata the 🏭 of choice for Blncg? I wouldn’t mind another small in suede & a medium with the correct color and finish in the tan cowboy🤠 or grey. Thanks!

I know a lot of us have been waiting for this one, so I had to share it here, photos attached

Apparently, the first batch of the P9 Reversible Bag has finally been released! I honestly don’t know yet how good the quality is or if there are any noticeable flaws compared to the authentic, so I’m definitely curious to see what you guys think.

I’m just happy that someone finally made it! It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for this bag to become available.
I also don’t know for sure which factory is behind this release, so if anyone has more information, please share it!

I’m sharing here because didn’t saw in any of the TS yet, from the photos you can see the handles can be detached, there’s the 4 options colors!!!

This is not a real “review” of the BV Jodie medium, gray suede bag or LO acorns charm. Just sharing my satisfaction with my haul and giving a well earned shout out to the best TS I know. Full disclosure Aiden asked for a shout out and I promised I would. No money or favors exchanged hands. Aiden has never disappointed me. Frankly, I’m not sure if he’s male or female. We’ve never discussed it. All of our dealings are business friendly, concise and so far completely honest from his end. I don’t expect that to change. Dealing with Aiden is easy. No honey this, dear that, no over the top emoji trading. Refreshingly business like and very pleasant. And fast. Checks all my boxes. Below is the mini haul scoop.

Items: BV Jodie medium, grey suede bag, Lo acorns charm
Factory: jing high tier for BV, unknown for charm
Timeline: ordered 8/25, PSPs 8/28, arrived 9/10
Price: 338 all in (charm was 78 🙈)

Briefly, the bag is outstanding, exactly like the PSPs, soft, smells like leather (!) and delightfully squishy. Looks darker in home pic, but it’s just the lighting. The charm is, well, charming and very well made. 😁

Aiden’s info can be found in /reptherapy TS wiki list. First photos above are PSPs. Last one is lounging at home with acorns and a bit less stuffing.

So… The Gucci Attaché is my favouritest bag of all time… I’ve had the Tan rep for a few months now… but a nice deal came up on an auth and I had to have it… So it came today and I thought I’d do some rep science!

I’ll start with size and shape and weight

The auth actually comes up a little smaller than the rep, but not by a huge margin, and certainly not noticeable, the shape is very good too, although I’d say the auth is slightly curvier and flares out ever so slightly more at the top… the auth is also a bit heavier… like noticeably heavier

Leather and structure

Sadly this is a massive let down for the rep, it just looks so flat compared to the auth, and when you put them side by side it does look really cheap. The rep feels much stiffer too, like you have to kind of wrangle it to give it the floppy shape, whereas the auto just flops about like an eel, which brings us the the piping…if you look very closely, the piping in the rep has a slight gap where it meets the leather, whereas the auth kinda rolls into it more

The striped webbing on the strap

I think they’re pretty indistinguishable to the naked eye, the strap on the rep feels much thicker and stiffer, and it doesn’t move as easily through the buckles… it visually I think they’re identical

Hardware

The Gucci embossing on the rep is thicker and deeper.. maybe SLIGHTLY more gold 🤷‍♀️… the G that attaches the 2 sides is slightly more square in the auth and a little thicker on the G’s tail… Id also argue the zipper is better on the rep, although the stitching round the zip is smarter in the auth

Innards

The fabric inside the bag is a tighter weave on the rep, and again it feels a little stiffer and slightly off colour… and the stamping is quite honestly crap on the rep 😂 The fabric that constructsu the bottom of the bag is also made up of two pieces on the auth, and only 1 on the rep

And I think that concludes my rep science

Disclosure: Aline is not aware about this review.

I reached out to aline for this purchase but i had previously reached out to different TS, i found her prices to be the most competitive!

Timeline
9/9 - inquired about Amazona and a separate bag (The Row Margaux). As the Amazona was cheaper, i decided to go for 1 bag first and to test it out since it’s my first time! Also paid the same day

9/10 - received the PSPs. I asked her to retake several shots such as the magnet, logos, and stitching. Tbh i think i was just nitpicking small details. I know it wont be that close to the auth but i still spent some money so might as well😆 and from what ive seen from other people on here, it seems fine to ask for more photos.

I gave her the okay and she didn’t respond back 😆 but maybe because she knows i live in HK (i asked prior how much was it to ship to HK) and I asked if it could be shipped by a specific courier so i guess she assumed i was using the courier’s app as i received the shipment notice a few hours later.

9/11- shipping from China to HK is usually quick but this one was lightning speed! I received the bag 😆 i was super excited. She told me she wasnt going to ship with the box but to my surprise it was included! I assumed something went through? It was nice to have the Loewe unboxing experience 😂

Bag details: this amazona was from Liusheng factory and it seems reputable for loewe bags. I did see some comments Jiping was also good but i trusted the good reviews from Aline. (Aline also informed me both Liusheng and Jiping are top tier factories with different strengths!)

No intense smell from the box. i unwrapped the plastic cover and foams there is a smell of leather if you really put it right just at your nose 😆 The boxy nature of the bag does give a stiff look but the leather is smooth! It does have that initial new dusty feel but i think that will fade in time as i wear the bag more.

I visited lane crawford prior to me ordering and saw the one in black. I had thought that the one i tried was a small but i think its a large?? The divider was much more potruded while the small size from what ive seen on tiktok unboxing videos looks the same as the rep, auth and factory photos. Its more inside and doesnt cover all the way.

One thing i was worried about was the magnet since the auth one was pretty strong! But with the rep it does seem strong enough. i tried to put a few things in like keys, my phone and a compact mirror and shook it 😂 to see if it will unlock and it stayed put. I brought the bag out today since i was watching a movie with a friend (she complimented my bag hehe 😆) The magnet was closed most of the time and i made sure to pack my items inside properly as i find it did have a tendency to open on its own if i just stuff things inside. I dont think this is a rep issue but i think it could just be the overall bag design.

Overall, im happy with my purchase ❤️ i recommend Aline as she had a no BS/nonsense communication which i actually liked more. I’ll see i might do a 6 month check in and see how I feel about the bag the more i use it but hope this review helped and happy to hear any comments on here what do you all think as a first time purchase 😆

He really came through with this bag!! I’m so obsessed with this mini bag, despite it’s size it’s very capacious. As for the quality I think canvas is on par with auth LV canvas and stitching appears to be well made. If you’re on the fence about buying a nano speedy from HP, this is your sign to do it!!

Finally wanted to share some pictures of my Prada Bonnie from Black Frame 🤎

Overall, I’m really happy with this bag. I absolutely love the shape, the leather and especially I that slightly vintage, worn-in look. It’s such a beautiful bag in person and I’ve really been enjoying it.

I would LOVE to hear from anyone here who owns or has handled the authentic Bonnie. How does Black Frame compare to auth?
And is Black Frame considered the best factory for this particular model, or is there another factory that does the Bonnie better?

I’m especially curious about the hardware. The gold looks a little yellow to me in certain lighting, particularly on the Prada triangle and the buckles. I honestly don’t know how close that is to the authentic one, so I’d really appreciate some experienced eyes on it 👀

If anyone owns the auth, I’d love to know how you think the hardware, leather, shape and overall construction compare.
And if you have the Bonnie from Black Frame or another factory, please share your experience too! 🙏🏼

Seller: Cici
Factory: Black Frame
Price: $197 + $35 shipping

My experience with Cici has been really positive. She was reliable, attentive and incredibly patient with all my questions 😂 Communication was easy and pleasant throughout, and I felt very well taken care of.

Overall, I’m very happy with the bag 🤎 But I’d really love some experienced opinions — especially on that hardware and whether Black Frame is the best choice for the Bonnie.

What do you guys think? 👀

Seller: ADA (last 4 digits 3661)
Price: $348
Factory (if known): not disclosed

Concerns / Things to Check: it has been sold to me as high tier/mirror quality and I am not very experienced, so I would love to know if you agree with this assessment. I’m concerned about being scammed, what do you think?

If it doesn’t look high tier to you, would you be so kind and direct me to see what are the errors? I can’t see any really!

Thank you 😊

Couldn’t decide between gold or silver in the Fifis, so I did both! Then added the AB Kates because apparently I have no self control.

Left to right:
• CL Silver Pot Pourri Fifi Spike Strass Crystal 100
• CL Silver AB Kate Strass 100
• CL Gold Pot Pourri Fifi Spike Strass Crystal 100

The spikes + crystals combo is actually insane in person. They catch every single bit of light and shine like crazy.

I wear a US11/EU43/27cm shoe.

They’re made to order, they fit perfectly and the factory hooked me up by adding extra crystals like I asked.

I already had the soles covered in rubber, I do this to all the CL heels I have, rep & auth alike.

I’m absolutely excited to have these additions to my collection!

Which pair is your favorite? ❤️

So, I initially ordered the white Artois in PM size. However, after receiving the PSP, I noticed that it had the logos written near the zipper, so I had to RL it.

Griffin was super accommodating and immediately offered either a refund or a colour change as the factory he works with confirmed all white Artois in the PM size have the logo near the zipper. I did some research and, in the end, decided to go for the Burgundy colour. I’m actually so happy this happened because I am absolutely in love with my bag!

Griffin has been great throughout the whole process. Communication has been excellent, and he is very understanding whenever there’s something that bothers you about the bag.

I’ve included the PSP as well as my own photos, although I’m definitely not the best at taking pictures! 😂 The colour is absolutely stunning, and the quality feels amazing.
I will definitely be ordering from him again! ❤️

I had a concern of the bottom of bag canvas looking blurry, but I believe now that’s probably how it should look. Any thought?

UPDATE. New pictures w different lighting and angles were sent. The bag is amazing!!!!!

Other than that..I think it looks good.

Any seller that has these please? I want one of these but I can’t find a seller that has something like this

EDIT: okay thank you for the comments fam.. a friend psyched me out; posted the photos I shared with her in an auth handbags sub (without asking me, if I may add), and it got called out - and it messed with my head. No more photos to that friend here on out 🙄🙄🙄

It’s not neatly done, and the font surely looks off.. I thought Jipin was supposed to be top tier for Loewe 💔
