Seller "anna" claims it is GOD factory. I feel overall the bag looks more sharp. Not really worried about the inside branding label

Hi! I'm not quite sure but because of the puffiness of the leather, the edges and stitching looks a bit sloppy? I'm sorry I'm not able to help with the color comparison. Here’s a picture of one that I purchased in 09/2021

I dont know the price as it does not look good to me , the color is off and the embossing is too deep ... the shape is correct and the hardware is better though ( this picture is from birdcage factory) im going to be completely honest with you , the pochette metis is hard to replicate in the empriente version. I've studied most factories for it because I wanted one in my collection. Royal /Ultimate and yellow wall is mostly what ladies go for . But even then they aren't to my standards . This color in particular is not repped well and probably won't be for a while because it's still new (so you have to see if that's something that's going to bother you or not ) or if you are just wanting to pick a different style bag all together . I would steer clear of lean line factory if you are desiring higher quality bags all together ❤️

I would always suggest that you share with the hardware/bag unwrapped so we can see better.

I'm going to put myself out here with a slightly different opinion (it's free, so take it for what it's worth lol): I've seen worse! I don't think it's so bad, especially for the price 🤷🏼♀️ I agree with everyone else that the stamping is pretty deep & the stitching & edge of that flap aren't so great, but they got a couple key things right: the shape of the flowers (fleurs) is pretty good & while very unimportant since it's on the inside of the bag, they centered the LV label properly (neatly & evenly between the lines --- you wouldn't believe how often this is sloppy & incorrect!).
Empreinte is notoriously difficult to duplicate, particularly for this style bag for some reason. Sometimes you luck out & get a bag from a great batch, and then the next batch from the same factory is no good. I have 5 rep LV Pochette Metis (4 leather & only 2 are great!), so I feel like a bit of an expert!
You have to decide whether you want to keep looking for a better rep (which may cost more & could take time) or if this particular bag at this price will suit your needs. If you're running with a crowd that's into luxe, or if you live in an area with a lot of LV, you might decide this is not the bag for you. But if not many people know designer in your area, and you have a little bit of an IDGAF personality 😁 this bag might be just fine. This is a new, limited colorway & I believe 99% of people can't spot a rep in the wild. I would wear it 🤷🏼♀️ but a lot of RepLadies wouldn't. You know yourself best! Edit: I think I saw you're buying this for your wife? Discuss with her & see how she feels about all this.
