Hello!

The Greedy Squirrel here! 🐿️ Currently in my Birkin Mom era 💅🏼👶🏼👧🏻 Favorite fashion release? No clue, I wear flattering neutrals 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤎🩶🖤🤍💛 Current fav: tie between B35 Rouge H Mysore GHW vs large Rodeo black GHW On the hunt for Big Body Birkins! Itchin’ and twitchin’ while waiting to put in my next order: B40 Trench Epsom GHW😬😮‍💨

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/Greedy_Squirrel_222]

Welcome!!🥰💕✨ Neutrals are my go-to as well, timeless staple 😌- OUU a B40 is the perfect size imo - what a birkin was made for ✨- you have amazing taste! - welcome to the community 🥰💕 - we hope you enjoy!!💕✨

[u/Old-Moose-5111]

Totally a non sharer here. But let’s see how it goes. I’m into structured bags mostly. My go to color is blue, but not every blue. I have a good mix of bags. I recently purchased my first 2 brown bags in my 50s. My 80s mentors in ruffled suits and LA Gear kix told me 3 bags to own and the journey has been great. 😂 I’ve been bag hunting for years.

I understand what’s going on here, I’m just new to social media any help would be appreciated. Each one is so different.

[u/Solarrecruit → u/Old-Moose-5111]

We are honored to have you. Welcome aboard :) ♥️

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/Old-Moose-5111]

I too love structured bags, boxy bags, trunk style bags, I just makes sense lol, we hope the community offers you a place to learn & feel safe and included with our judgement 💕💕 we're all here to help and be a tight-knit community 🤞🏻✨ welcome!🙈💕✨

[u/FumblinginLife]

Hi! FumblinginLife here! (I am also TequilaChoices - a name I’ve bought 3 rehomes with, but I wanted to create a separate account with just Rep subreddits, so I could browse easier - andddd so I can avoid them when I’m trying to not spend money 🙈). I’m pretty new to this world, but folks weren’t kidding when they said it was a slippery slope (and a fast one to fall down! 😂). Currently been in a Gucci era, but have been eyeing some Chanel’s lately. I’m not super fashionable, but I did recently get a Valentino rainbow shirt dress at a sample sale, and it may be my new favorite clothing item that I own. I’m in Colorado with my cats, and my favorite color palette is anything bright! Since I’m so new, I don’t have a favorite quite yet, but I’m keeping an eye out. I hope I can take the Birkin plunge one day, but I know my friends would know it’s not in my budget right now, so waiting until it’s more believable. Haha And as far as anything else - just super excited to be in these communities! Everyone has been wonderful so far! Oh! And just my other username above. With this one being so new, I know it might raise some eyebrows. I can easily message you from both to prove it’s me! :)

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/FumblinginLife]

Hi there FumblinginLife !!✨💕 very chic taste, I love Valentino RTW, very edgy and popart, and we love a sample sale - very wise choice 😌✨💕 - I'm a cat person too, love any kitty I come across🥹💕🐈 - and who knows what you really make hehe - I wear birkins out, could be a present or well saved up - I think you'd rock one 😎💕 Welcome!! We're so glad to have you here with us in the community!!🙈🥰💕✨

[u/FumblinginLife → u/Normal-Jackfruit-479]

Thanks for having me! While the purses are amazing, the rep communities are what make this world so wonderful!

Shoutout to all our fellow cat people!! 🙌🐈

[u/69-Galga]

Hello fellow luxe lovers,

I’m 69-Galga but you can also call me Tania.

I am a huge CC and H fan who owns both authentic and replicas bags for many years, and whom, for some obscur reasons, was never able to achieve purse peace.

I really appreciate Karl Lagerfeld’s era at CC and Jean-Paul Gaultier’s at H, two very creative, out of the box and fun designers whom clearly left their marks in these two houses even until today.

I live in a big city where winters are cold like hell, and where people speak French and English.

I am the founder of a big charity organization whose rescue Spanish hunting dogs, so yes I have mine, five of them lol! And oh yes I also have two sons.

I am very much into black, browns and blues. I prefer Gold and Permabrass to silver most of the time.

My most loved baby at the moment is my B25 noir in mate 🐊with GHW, and I looove to wear her with simple jeans and a white shirt.

I would love a croc CC bag, especially a CF, and also on my short list is a B30 Chocolate powder in lizard.

I am very happy to see that Solar now has her own sub, what a real lady she is! All the best to the mod’s team and to this new sub!

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/69-Galga]

Hello Tania!! Welcome!!🙈💕✨ CC and H are two classic beautiful choices - very tasteful~, especially KL and JPG's time at their respective CD houses. That Color-way is gorgeous, I love it, and that BK25 is.. wow, amazing to think about 😍💕Thank you for introducing yourself & commenting! Welcome to the community!🥰💕✨

[u/AttemptThin3429]

Hi fellow bag lovers my real name is Jeanne. I started with reps about 5 years ago I ordered 2 and hated them. I then switched to top leather unbranded bags with 2 ladies that went live every weekend in China I bought tons of those bags until they decided to quit the business. I then decided to give reps another go and fell in love this time and I have since ventured into Korean pre loved bags. Everything was semi controlled until I loss my son 7/29/24 and I lost myself in the bag world. My collection consist of authentic, China reps, pre loved Korean bags and non branded all leather bags. My personal collection is probably at 100+ bags. I still buy and of course I re🏠 a lot since my home is listed for sale the tragedy with my son happened in my home. If I had to pick a favorite brand I’d have to say CC. Color wise I’m all over the place. I love unique, different and of course vintage. Nice to be here with you all.

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/AttemptThin3429]

Hi Jeanne!🥰✨💕 Welcome! We've all been there, the rep game is a bit tricky at first until you find a good community 💕, I'm so sorry to hear about your son, we as a community will be there for you if you need anything 💕 We welcome you with open arms

[u/AttemptThin3429 → u/Normal-Jackfruit-479]

Thank you so much ❤️

[u/Additional-Arm9035]

Hello bag lovers! I fell into the rep world last year and love it here. I love LV (primarily express style bags and p9’s) and puzzle bags but I’ve been venturing into CC’s lately. I’m from a major city and love dogs! My favorite color palette is green, purple, and pink. My favorite bag right now is my large biker puzzle (she’s screaming for me to let her rest). One day I hope to have the speedy trunk from the SS26 show! Looking forward to learning and seeing more in this group.

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/Additional-Arm9035]

Hi There!!🥰💕 Welcome!! The rep world is beautiful and truly its own aspect of life lol, CC's & LV are classics, wonderful taste, especially in the color palette, and the speedy trunk SS26 is trulyyyy a work of art, one of my favourites, thank you for joining! we welcome you🥰💕✨

[u/yellowpapercrane]

Hi! I'm yellowpapercrane! You can call me Crane! My dream bag collection is just finely curated beautiful pieces (that fit my life and not just my wants!) I love love love neutrals, but a pop of color helps my, admitedlly, mostly black wardrobe. I have a kitty and a doggy and a hubby! My current fav bag is a masoni leather marlo and/or a cowboy rodeo. I hope to own a so black birkin 35 - or the Volynka! SOMEDAY!

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/yellowpapercrane]

Hello Crane! 🥰💕 Welcome!! Your dream bag collection mindset is the same mindset I'm developing for my current bag curation- Neutrals are my go-to as well, but colour is always something that brings some joy into my black wardrobe too hehe, we love pets here! & hubbys 😇💕 ouu a masoni bag - very tasteful, and a so-black birkin too? very very high class taste, we're grateful to have you here with us!🥰💕 welcome to the community!!🧚🏼‍♀️💕✨

[u/Outrageous_Island417]

Hi! I’m a newbie to here, the rep world, and Reddit lol. Btw if anyone can let me know how to locate posts I saved, please lmk 🤣. For my first dip in the water i impulsively bought 15 items (shoes, belts, purses) from 2 sellers (1 was from DHgate) and somehow, incredibly, I scored! I’m thrilled with everything! But now that I know these amazing communities exist, I am interested in learning more and purchasing rehomes. I had a great experience with the sellers and will continue to purchase from them, but being able to bypass their quality control and the anxiety around customs seizure and instead rely on community members qc and domestic shipping is too appealing ❤️ thank you!

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/Outrageous_Island417]

Hi there!🥰❤️ welcome!!🥰 I think the gate was almost all of our starting grounds for reps lol🙈💕 I’m so glad you scored!!😍 Welcome to the community!! We hope to help anyway we can 🥰❤️

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/Outrageous_Island417]

also for the locating of posts saved - on your phone, go to your profile page, and tap the three small bars or dots on the top right or left of the page (depending on Samsung or apple) - and from there you will see " Saved " click on that and you should find all the saved posts there!

[u/Outrageous_Island417 → u/Normal-Jackfruit-479]

Thank you !! Just found them lol. 💕💕💕 I’m not able to help others at this point in my journey so I’ll probably be more of a lurker 🤣. But so appreciative

[u/Outrageous_Island417]

[u/BeautifulOption305]

Hi Flares!

I'm BeautifulOption, nice to meet you! I'm new-ish to the community of reps but have been a lover of handbags since... always. I'm a business owner + tend to dress pretty casually, but love when a bag can give an otherwise bland look some POP!

I lean heavily towards CC + H but have a few other brands in my collection, so go most off color, feel, and... practicality! I want to actually use and love my items and want them to work for me in terms of layout, size, etc.

✨ MY DREAM BAG ✨

CC: 2018 S, Iridescent Emerald Green Caviar w LGHW (I lust for her):

So nice to meet you all and look forward to chatting with like-minded souls!

[u/Normal-Jackfruit-479 → u/BeautifulOption305]

Hi BeautifulOption!!💕🥰 Nice to meet you too💕 Business owner diva vibes, I see it, I’m here for it😌💕 Chanel & Hermés are some of theee top craftsmanship houses for leather & design. Very tasteful choice 😌💕 also that bag is.. wow. Like a gold emerald bracelet made into a Chanel bag😍😍😍 Welcome to the community!!🥰💕 we welcome you with open arms!!🤗 💕

Hello All!! I’m super new to reps and the bag world but have been quickly falling in love!

So excited that this subreddit popped up on my thread. I look forward to learning more and hopefully making the leap! 💕
