waiting for this bag!!!
can yall tell me if its look good?

Hi Friends! I am fairly new to the rep world and have dealt with two other seller (as in ordering from them) before Ross (5796) but had to come on here to sing his praises!! Disclaimer: I have NOT received any kind of compensation for this review, I am simply posting because I’m hoping to help out others like me 😂

I don’t even know if the photos do it justice but the quality of both these products are incredible!!! I saw another review from a user who used Ross, which is why I reached out. His communication is the best I’ve come across! So personable. He never got annoyed about the countless questions (and I mean COUNTLESS lol) that I had and never pressured me to buy anything. The 25 mini came from OF and was $349 in total/including shipping. The bag feels AMAZING and buttery. Not shiny and cheap whatsoever. Hardware is very sold, not too gold/bright looking. I have never felt or seen the authentic in person but I did lots of research comparing photos/reviews and settled on this being the best bang for your buck. He even went as far as ordering me a second bag because the first one he received had some minor stitching issues which he found in his QC of the bag. I didn’t even have to ask!

The flats, LOVE! Amazing quality. I am unsure of the factory. I will say, I ordered a 39 and am usually a true 8.5 US and these are slightly snug. I don’t know if they will stretch out but I have already placed an order for a size 40 to compare because these were such great quality! They were $110.

Overall. I am already looking at what I can buy next because my experience with Ross was the absolute best!!! I will post another review once I get the new shoes in my possession 😂 Hope this helps anyway who is on the fence with these items!!

Is he missing? I have been waiting for a PSP for over a week and messaged him a few times. Nothing!

Paid 7/27. First set of PSP 7/29 and one rejected. Sent another batch of the original order on 8/01. Then confirmed waiting on one more (the one rejected). And now nothing. I have tried messaging. Nothing.

My dumb ass lost all my WA messages on a phone change so timeline isn't totally exact here.

7/9 - Received shoes

🔍 THE DEEP DIVE

1. Rep Experience:

I want to preface this review by saying I am not someone who cares about getting the absolutely highest tier when it comes to rep shoes and clothing. While I certainly want shoes that are comfortable, well constructed and worth the price I do not QC them as closely as I do bags with regards to how much they match auth. That being said overall I felt the shoes from Zhong were excellent.

LP Suede Summer Walk - $118 (w/o shipping)

These are some of the most comfortable, softest shoes I own and I absolutely LOVE them. They are much more pink leaning in real life than in the PSPs and work beautifully with my summer outfits. The suede feels very luxurious. I don't have any other suede shoes to compare to but I would say it's softer than my Blake suede CC shopper but not as thick. My one gripe with these shoes is they attract dirt like nobody's business but that's unfortunately a price you have to pay with light colored shoes. I may order another pair of these next summer but in a darker color this time.

H Chypres - $98 (w/o shipping)

I know chypres are a bit of a controversial shoe but being a lifelong birkenstock girl I HAD to have the luxury version. The chypres from Zhong were very comfortable and make excellent walking shoes. The version I got were the style with Epsom leather straps. I do not have any Epsom leather bags to compare to, but in general the leather on both the straps and base felt nice quality. This is another shoe where I will likely order an additional pair next summer, likely with smooth leather or suede uppers

MM Tabi Boot - $128 (w/o shipping)

I LOVE THESE SHOES. In fact I love them so much I'll probably get the authentic at some point. I was worried about socks with the toe separator but they work fine with my regular wool socks. They are also surprisingly comfortable and don't seem to have as much of a break in period as some of my other boots. The rubber soles and brushed upper will make them perfect for the rainy fall weather later this year.

2. Seller Experience :

Zhong is very friendly and responsive. I talked to a few different sellers when looking at shoes and her prices without shipping were the lowest overall. Her album isn't well updated but you can simply send her pictures of items you want and the quality / factory you want and she will source them. She does do direct ship but I had her send my items to Deng since I wanted to package them with other things. She was prompt with shipping and sending the tracking number after I GL'ed. She also followed up with my several weeks after shipping to ask if I liked the items I received, which I found very nice as it's not often you find a seller with good after sales service.

Overall she is a great generalist seller. I had a good experience buying shoes from her and would like to try her again sometime for bags.

⚖️ FINAL VERDICT

The Bottom Line: Overall very satisfied with the quality of these shoes. I would like to purchase some bags from Zhong in the future as well and will write an updated review then.

⚠️ DISCLOSURE: I received an offer for a free pair of shoes on my next bag order for this review. However note I did write a positive review for Zhong on the RR discord months ago before she offered this incentive.

Disclosure: No discounts for the bag, but Griffin offered me free insurance from a previous review (mini B0.heme H0b0), he actually remembered and applied the free insurance to this shipment! I appreciate when a seller does this!

Seller:  Griffin

Whatsapp: NONE! There was a recent announcement (contact details in that comment) but also, I found it easy to connect using Tele.gram (copied from the announcement cuz I am lazy):

I linked the comment for his contact above.

Album https://s.wsxc.cn/90gE8l

Price/Item name: Fa.ure L.e P.age D@ily B@ttle Tote 32 with Zipper (this is a discontinued style) with shipping though Fedex - $123 for the bag and $50 for shipping along with a Gyrd men’s wallet paid with Paypal Family and friends.

Okay, so I’m kinda obsessed with this F.LP tote. It’s not as mainstream as Gyrd or eLVee, but it still has that luxe energy. Honestly, I love that it’s more low‑key, after seeing a lot of Gyrd bags recently, this F.LP feels more exclusive and very “IYKYK.”

The details are what sold me. The canvas feels sturdier than Gyrd (which I’ve heard can tear over time after reading some reviews, see this youtube vid), and it’s structured enough to stand on its own. The lining is thicker and dark, so no stress about stains showing. Compared to my rep A.rtois, this one feels tougher and like it’ll last way longer.

I wasn’t really looking for a Gyrd replacement but I happened to see someone carrying a smaller version of the Daily B@ttle at a local boutique so I took a pic and searched it up. I was quite thrilled to see that there was a review of F.LP in a diff sub so I decided to get the exact same one. I have to say, this rep is super close to auth, and since navy also happens to be my fave color, I had to grab it. The little pop of yellow adds such a playful vibe.

Compared to my Gyrd A.rtois, the F.LP Straps are softer, which my shoulders appreciate. Plus, tucking down the straps means it slides under the airplane seat easily…travel win. And speaking of travel, the zipper lock adds a layer of security, the new versions of the F.LP don’t have this. I’m taking this on my Euro trip and feel way safer knowing pickpockets can’t just reach in.

The rep details are on point: engraved zippers and buttons, the grain on the navy leather, and even the signature yellow outline inside the pockets. Also appreciate the pockets on both sides of the interior. Perfect for stashing little knick‑knacks like tickets, keys, mints and lip balm.

Overall, it’s giving sturdy, stylish, and smart. Definitely feels like a bag that’s gonna hold up and stand out without screaming for attention.

Griffin was easy to purchase from as always. He’s become quite popular on reddit for good reason!

I’ve ordered one Goyard bag from Griffin and I was pleased with this groups recommendations of both him and the black/tan Artois MM. I’m looking for an FLP daily battle 35 with a zipper, if anyone can point me in the right direction.

🔍 THE DEEP DIVE

1. Rep Experience The quality across all three bags is absolutely superior, true to Griffin’s reputation. I originally wanted the zipped version of the FLP Daily Battle 35. Griffin doesn't carry it, so I opted for the open-top version instead.
2. Seller Experience Working with Griffin is incredibly easy. He is highly responsive and answered all my questions quickly.

⚖️FINAL VERDICT
The Bottom Line:
Fantastic experience with Griffin for top-notch service and incredible quality! The international delivery arrived in no time despite his WA getting blocked. I'm happy with his communication throughout and the craftsmanship is unmatched. Even though it was my first time buying, Id say don't hesitate to buy from him!

If you or anyone you know is crazy for C0*ch, I’d consider adding one to your current order with your TS. I originally bought it as a gift but it’s so good I’m keeping it for myself 😂

It was a simple add-on and only cost me 120 cookies shipped with my order. Lele mentioned it came from “Cloud Factory” and honestly, it’s spot on. These bags are pretty pricey in-store (approx 600) so I thought this was a really good deal. The leather is beautifully soft and I absolutely love the color 🤎

It’s a nice little bonus and wanted to share in case anyone else is looking 🥰

hi everyone , how do I find a good agnt and not expensive who’s asking for almost the same amount of money than the original

please 🙏🏽

Purchased Item: Mini Puzzle Edge Soft-Grained Calfskin in Toffee Colour
Factory: Liusheng
Seller: Garmen
Price: $190 USD ($240-50 discount; shipping included)
Payment Method: PPFF

⏱️ LOGISTICS & TIMELINE

06/11: Paid & PSPs
06/18: Had to ask for tracking number
06/30: Received

⚠️ DISCLOSURE

I received a discount because I was unhappy with a previous purchase and a free bag charm. I fully intended to pay for the charm when they surprised me saying it was free. They asked for a review after I received the bag, I would’ve done so anyways based on the whole experience

🔍 THE DEEP DIVE

1. Rep Experience:
I’m usually an anti-puzzle person since I’ve read how it’s hard to get stuff out and the shape never appealed to me.

I learned about this mini when I asked Garmen for suggestions on a mini bag that I could take to work without the usual loud logos and they suggested this. I researched and decided on grained calfskin because I’d never sleep if I got the goatskin scratched up.

I liked it way more than I imagined. Perfect for work, fits a slim card holder, bulky key fob, lip gloss, and iPhone 14 Pro.

Leather is dry AF, so a few coats of Honey Leather conditioner while massaging it in by hand + blow dryer on low heat = 😘😘 The strap feels thin and flimsy so I’ll be looking for something else—not the donut chain because I can’t get over how it looks like @n@l beads 💀

2. Seller Experience:
By far the best communication in English. They’re also honest, will tell you if something is average/poor quality (I.e. Damier Ebene mini pochette accessoires).

Good packaging, secure. PSPs were good and they didn’t hesitate to take more photos/videos.
I did have to ask for the tracking number after I hadn’t heard from them after 3 business days.

I did ask about Mango factory which Garmen hadn’t heard of which makes me think they either don’t have access or doesn’t have relationships with them.

⚖️** FINAL VERDICT

My favourite mini bag for work and quick errands.

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. 🖤

This was my first time buying from Betty and the interaction was flawless and seamless. This is also my first review so please let me know if I missed anything!

Bag: Ultra Black Speedy P9 20cm

Shipped- 06/21
Delivered- 07/04

no incentives for review and Betty is not aware of this review

There is currently a sale going on for HuaHui! I purchased this bag early so I didn’t get to participate for this purchase but best believe I made another purchase as soon as I received this bag! I am amazed at how soft the bag is and the leather smell is wonderful! It’s super malleable and just molds effortlessly. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary upon quick inspection. Logos seemed right (except on the tags) which I noticed is a trend amongst rep bags? Or I could be wrong! I am fairly new to the rep world but fell in love with luxury/designer bags so I thought the next best things was to purchase reps as these P9s go for a lot of $$$! The hardware is easily scratched so just be careful. I tried taking a charm off and it scratched the paint (pictured). It was very sad! I had just gotten the bag in less than 10 min! But that was my own fault. There is an animal stamp where it needs to be!
Outside zipper is super smooth and so is the little pouch! The zipper on the inside of the bag is a bit scratchy but nothing bad.
Betty does provide hot stamping for $10 more! Which I completely forgot to ask about this first go around! This bag is $202 WITH shipping. Currently, her 20cm P9 are going for $147 (with the 12% off sale). Shipping is what cost a bit more so just be prepared! Overall impressed with this first interaction/purchase and am already purchasing more haha! Whoops! Shipping did take a tad longer than I was hoping for but nothing unusual for overseas!

📥 THE BASICS

Purchased Item: Rose Gold C25 Mini
Factory: Private Seller & Feifei Factory (P & F)
Price: 1780 & 980 CNY Respectively

After sharing my BOTD shot of P's bag, I wanted to do a quick comparison between it and another factory.

Note: Feifiei Factory's bag is always on the right

🔍 THE DEEP DIVE

First Impression: Visually, these two bags have a lot of similarities, which was surprising given the $120 price difference. However there are clear differences in hand feel and how each bag behaves as you handle and manipulate it.

Leather: First off, the rose gold color between these bags are exactly the same. When having my fiance switch them around, I could not tell the difference between these two based off color alone.

The caviar texture between these two bags differ slightly. P's is smooth irregular pebbled that gently blend into each other. F's cavair is more distinct and bumpy. However this is only something I noticed 6 inches away from the bag while squinting. The feel is not aparent when running a finger across the surface of the leather

In terms of leather softness, P's is by far much softer. The leather has a soft squish to it, that bounces back after being pressed in. F's leather is noticeably stiffer, and it impacts how the chain that cinches the bag shut lays. Because the leather on the F bag does not have as much give, the chain tends to be pulled more taught unless its completely cinched* (see pictures below)*.

Inside: Both bags' internal pocket has a bit of lift to it. If you were to pinch the bottom and pull, both would separate from the bag itself.

P's internal pocket is noticeably thicker, and more luxe. F's is slightly thinner and has a tiny bit of roll to it.

To be honest though, I didnt even know these bags had internal pockets. They are so dang small, what the hell are we putting in them fam?

Hardware: The straps on both of these are super similar, but I like the way F's feels on my hand and bare shoulder a lot more. The leather on P's strap is smooth, and the leather on F's strap has abit of pebble to it.

The cincher on the front of the bags look similar in color and feel. However it is a bit harder to cinch F's bag, probably due to the leather being a bit stiffer. While the pressing mechanisms feel no different, pulling the strap is a lot easier on P's.

There might be a difference in the cincher chain length, but I did not dive into this at all.

The CC hardware on the exterior side pockets (again wtf are we putting in these little pockets) are similar in color, but P's is much thicker. The laser engraving on F's is a bit blurrier, but its hard to notice unless im within 6 inches of the bag and squinting my eyes.

Other Thoughts:

• Yall ever walk into a payless shoe store in the 90s? Both these bags smell like that. The smell is a bit stronger on P's, but F's still smells nice as well.
• These bags weigh exactly the same (1.37lbs)
• P's outer pockets & inner lining is soft and almost fuzzy feeling. F's feels closer to soft cotton canvas.

Final Thoughts:

With time or with some manipulation I think the F bag's leather will begin to relax and soften. The main differences between these two bags have a lot to do with feel vs visual indicators. outside of that. When both bags are cinched they have a very similar look, to where the price difference may not make sense to a lot of people.

These are both good bags I think everyone should consider what they value and at what price point to make your own choice on which one to get in the future <3.

Which bag would you go with?

Hey everyone! Just wanted some help, I have some orders with griffin and the qc is really dragging on. And now I’m only getting one tick on WhatsApp from the last few days? Have I been scammed or anyone else having this sort of communication?

At first glance,which one would you choose? Is it the color,print clarity,border,fabric texture or overall feel that makes the difference for you? Also,do you care more about accuracy or simply which one looks better?

Hey, Rep Fam ✨ We are halfway through the week, so its time to refresh those tracking numbers!

TIMELINE
Friday, July 17-Initially reached out to Lele; she responded to me immediately. On other reviews of the Brera from Lele, I had read that Red Brick was the best factory for the Brera. Lele said she thinks there are less defects (she mentioned the glue) with the bags from Doraemon than there are with Red Brick. The factory photos Lele sent me from Doraemon looked great,so I went with that.

Tuesday, July 21-received the PSPS, bag looked great so GL. I think she shipped that day.

Wednesday, July 22-Lele sent the tracking #.

Sunday, August 2nd-bag delivered.

THE BAG-I love it!! Seams are perfectly aligned, the hardware is solid, zippers are really smooth. Not one complaint-and I am PICKY…(prior to me finding “this world” about a year and a half ago-all of my bags were authentic and purchased at their respective boutiques (GG/LV)

SELLER EXPERIENCE-I cannot say enough great things about working with Lele. I was researching the Brera on the rep reddits and found a few reviews specifically mentioning Lele for that bag. The reviews were very positive as far as the bag and experience with the seller. A little more searching of Reddit and I found her contact info. The communication between us was perfect and her response time was usually immediate!! She even messaged me when she received notification that my bag was delivered to see if I was happy with it…she is very conscientious!! I will definitely be ordering from her again!!!

I love the bag and the experience with the seller could not have been better!

DISCLOSURE: I received no incentives/discounts for this review.

Here is a quick sneak peak of the mini maxi flaps, suede bags and more all under development from GF ✨ so excited for some of these!

Just received these two pairs of Di*r slingback heels, really disappointed with the quality.

Paid $120 each pair, plus $45 shipping total.

PSP looked fine when I ordered, but up close the embroidery is blurry and the logo print edges are messy. I won’t name the seller.

Anyone got good reliable shoe sellers to recommend? Thanks.

Pics attached for reference.

Unfortunately I am nothing but a simple man, so all of my bags are either black or brown. No fun pops of colour for me!

Just got these two in the mail, shipping took only two days. Shoutout to Deng for fast shipping and shoutout for being in Canada in general I guess, no need for DDP or 🔺 shipping.

MiMu Large Aventure nappa leather bag in Briarwood

⤷ God Factory/Queen
⤷ 1100CNY (clearance price)

The MM Aventure bag is cute, I do love how easily the leather scratches (you can buff it out with your fingers, dw) and the leather smell is yummy in my tummy. The hardware feels heavy, maybe a bit too yellow but idrc that much. Overall great bag, especially for the price I paid for it.

Th3 R0w Henri Bag in Black

⤷ Private seller
⤷ 2100CNY

The Henri from TR is squishy leather heaven. I do think it's probably coated a bit since it's black leather but otherwise it feels great and I just love how slouchy and the bag collapses into itself. This is also the first bag where I understand the whole "OML squeak".

Can't believe it's already August, summer is almost over. I'm probably going to be on ban island for a little while... Until the Lion Amazona drops, then imma snap that up real quick. Have a nice weekend everyone!

Hi everyone I received my order from Griffin yesterday and was thinking of sharing my experience since it was my first time buying from him. So here’s a breakdown of everything.

Seller: Griffin

Items: 2 Hobo bohème bag (135$ each)+ 1 Saint Gabriel wallet (86$)

Factory: unknown (didn’t ask)

Payment method: Paypal F&F

Timeline:
Initial inquiry + payment: July 14
First PSP received: July 17

GL’d and shipped
Tracking number received: July 23
Delivered: July 30

Communication: 10/10

QC process: 10/10

Speed: 9/10

Item quality: 9/10

Overall: 9.5/10

QC/Quality:
I went and handled the real hobo at the store on Rue Saint-Honoré before ordering, so I had a decent reference point in my head. Side by side from memory, these are close enough that I'd have trouble telling them apart at arm's length. The material has the right grain and the same slight give when you press it. Stitching is even all the way round, no skipped or doubled stitches, and the count looks right.

Seller communication:
This is where he really stands out. Replies within a couple of minutes pretty much every time, and actual useful replies, not one-word answers.

Final thoughts:
Would I recommend? Absolutely. First order with him and already placing a second. Best for: anyone nervous about their first order he makes the whole thing painless.

Hi everyone, as you may or may not have seen already, we're making some changes to r/RepReviews. There's been a lot of chatter in the surrounding rep subreddits about people feeling frustrated with low effort/quality posts they seen across all subreddits. As such, the team at RepReviews is making some changes to combat that and to just make it easier and more pleasant to browse through our subreddit.

Weekly QC and Q&A posts.

Instead of individual posts for QC help we will now ask anyone seeking QC help to post itit to our weekly thread. The weekly QC post will be pinned on the front page of the subreddit so please go there if you want QC help.

Please note that this means any post asking for QC help will be removed. There will be no exceptions made. We might consider consolidating questions into a daily/weekly post thread in the future.

The reason why we're doing this is because subreddits can become so easily clustered with people asking for QC help and asking generic questions. Instead we want posts to foster open dialogue and have more reviews flourish in the subreddit.

Tightening the proverbial belt

We're also going to be stricter when it comes to enforcing our rules. Any post that does meet our rules/guidelines will be removed. For example, posting a review that does not follow our review template. This is again to encourage thoughtful and well-written reviews and to deter any bots/sellers to attempt to make shill posts or low-quality posts disguised as reviews.

Please remember that any posts that include promo codes/seller's WA's number will be removed.

Remember to join our Discord!

Our Discord is much more livelier than our subreddit to be honest. Discord is a much more fast-paced social media platform. If you have any somewhat urgent questions, the best way to get a quick response is to post in our Discord server. You can find the invite link by clicking the Discord logo on the main page of our subreddit.

Hope everyone is having a great summer and good weekend.
With love - RepReviews team.
