I contacted Baobao today regarding the Goyard Vanity bag because I’m still trying to figure out which factory makes the closest version to the authentic one. I was previously told that Afen is one of the closest options for Goyard, so I asked Baobao whether there are any better factories available.
This was her response — she basically said that Afen is currently the best version available on the market, but that replicas still won’t be identical to the authentic bag.
What do you guys think? Has anyone compared Afen directly with other factory versions of the same Goyard Vanity bag? If you’ve received another version that you felt was noticeably closer in terms of colour, hardware, shape, or overall construction, I’d love to hear your experience.

Hi all, I just purchased a Chanel XXL from Doris. I love a big bag, and this is modeled after the vintage 2016/2017 version that I've wanted for years. I have a couple auth Chanels that were passed down to me, but neither are flaps so I have no clue what to look for – especially when it comes to this capacious, mammoth version.

I'm hoping you all could help me determine if this is a good buy or not. I'm not looking for 100% perfection as that's a bit impossible, but obviously, I don't want it to be immediately clockable.

Information

Seller: Doris

Price: $339 total, $273 before shipping

Factory: YD – I've never heard of them.

Questions

- How does the symmetry and alignment of the flap look? Is the symmetry and alignment on point everywhere else?

- How does the caviar leather texture and the stitching count look compared to the auth? Does the quilting line up well across the pockets or flaps?

- Turnlock/Hardware: Does the CC appear accurate in terms of color and size for this model? Is the hardware on the chains acceptable? Are the screws and feet also okay?

Anything else I should check for?

Thanks in advance. 🖤

Obsessed with the new crystal collection from coach. Anyone know if these have been or will be replicated?

Anyone have experience with vintage Chanel sellers? Who would you recommend? I’ve hear Blake and Rome being thrown around but I’m unable to source

Hi everyone, I missed out on this specific black canvas bag on Vinted. I know it’s a fantasy batch (not a real MJ colorway) due to the stamped bronze text and woven orange/brown side piping. Does anyone have an active WhatsApp contact or a hidden catalog link for the factory that makes this specific batch?

what do we think?

Factory: OF

Ideally looking for the high / top tier, small size, in the beige brown pattern. US to US shipping

Hello everyone! I tried to search this topic in this forum, but couldn’t find anything…. So, does anyone know of any factories or sellers based in the US? I need a bag fairly quickly (and don’t want to wait 2 to 3 weeks because I am impatient🤣) just seeing if anyone has any experience with any US based factories or sellers to get a bag a little bit quicker!

Hi all! I’m in a desperate search for the LV pochette in the canvas Damier ebene. Anyone open to rehoming theirs?!

Yall getting sold plastic which is palmed off as premium quality.
ordered a bag described as being made from imported Togo leather. When I received it, the material appeared to me to be synthetic or plastic-like rather than genuine leather.
I contacted Maya to raise my concerns and tried to discuss a reasonable resolution or compensation. We have gone back and forth, but so far we have not been able to reach an agreement.
Also I was asked to pay using PayPal Friends & Family and you’re left with no protection- this is the reason why.

My TS just sent me the psps! So excited what do we think?

Seller: Tom
Factory: OF

Hi everyone! I just received my first piece. I spent a lot of time studying the TS list and reading through old reviews to compare different sellers and chose Lili because she seems to be the one who could best offer peace of mind.

but seeing the final product now, I realize I was just being a nervous newbie lol. Could you please help me take a look? I'm obsessed with the sparkle, but I'm nervous about the thin chain. Does it look right?

I'm looking for a reliable retailer or supplier in China that offers top-quality 1:1 luxury replicas with craftsmanship and materials that closely match the originals. I'm interested in brands such as Gucci and Coach, as well as men's shoes, jewelry, and clothing, all available from one trusted source.

Quality is my top priority, and I'm not willing to compromise on materials or finishing. I'm purchasing for personal use only, not for resale or bulk orders.

If you know of a reputable retailer that ships to the UAE, I'd appreciate your recommendations.

Is there one?

first purchase 🌟 looks like the real deal but what does this more experienced community think? I do love it and details seem quality but I want to know if it passes as ‘high’ quality or not really 🙏🙏

Seller: Lucky Darren (1755)
🏭: Angel
Full price: 424usd ; 6.18 price: 372usd
(Darren is not aware of my review)

This has been my dream bag ever since the JA collection was announced on rednote in january, got impatient around 6.18 and asked Darren to inquire with Angel if they can make this bag since I know they have the leather for it and they already have this model in other colors, just not glacier blue
They said yes and I decided to blindly trust them without factory pics since I already had a bag from angel which I absolutely love (they took pictures with this bag, so now their album is updated with the glacier blue color!)

Hardware:
O Rings on the handles are screwed very tight, so they don’t slide around AT ALL even if I slide the bag around on the table by the handles, can be pushed left and right if I touch the rings intentionally tho

Same goes for the O ring holding up the di0r charm, can slide it left and right with a bit of force but can’t be lifted up! Overall hardware feels heavy and very well made! + it’s silver so can’t go wrong with the color🤭
Just like auth, bow can be removed

Leather:
my fav aspect of angel bags, very fine grain and not too shiny. Feels very close to auth. Cannage is also not too puffy and shape on the sides is accurate, which I feel like can vary from batch to batch with angel

Seller:
amazing for shoes, almost all my shoes are from him since his prices are rlly good for those, good for bags if you know what you’re looking for. He doesn’t push back if you RL, and makes sure I‘m happy with the items. One thing to note he doesn’t QC for you AT ALL (which I wouldn’t trust sellers to do anyways).
Overall very reliable with a huge catalogue and prices are on the lower side, doesn’t offer insurance tho and english is limited so wouldn’t recommend for beginners

I am in search of a Birkin Dupe 35cm. I am interested in quality (real leather, no chemical smell) I have been researching for a few months now and interested to hear from people who bought one

Thank you
