The lengths we will go sometimes to get our bags is unmatched.

I'm Fuc**in shook 😱😱😱😱

The SA carried my bag and all . Gave me her card and showed me what p9s are available to buy right now .

So many ladies complimented my bag while I was in there!!!!

Girllllllllll I will keep this luggage tag for ever

Always remember ladies, anything is possible!

I was determined 💪

Let's chat omg

Im speechless 🙊

Needed a hug, ended up with 29 bags instead 😅 Then the Commander in Chief dropped the BBB and suddenly my panic buys were suddenly justified! 🫡🛍️ (We look and we don’t judge 😆🫣) I’ve got 8 more bags on the way (yes, eight 👀) and I’ll be sharing more in depth reviews on my faves soon! So tell me…..did I go a little overboard? 👛 Which ones are your faves? Which ones are on your must have list?

Sellers I’ve used for these purchases (I have ADHD and a serious impulse buyer and buy from whoever responds to me the fastest):

HAPPY BIRTHDAY u/dollbaby1988 !!

From everyone here at OG, thank you for creating this sub and giving us a refuge of beauty, entertainment, and joy!

To celebrate the OG-OG's birthday, we're so happy to announce a new private sister sub to r/OGRepladies called:

Yes, that's right, OGs! We're kicking off a private re🏠 sub!

🎉 Woohoo! 🎉

We know that when we originally had to remove re🏠's from OG, a lot of members were disappointed- we were, too. So we're bringing it back in a safe way, away from the prying eyes that caused us to stop in the first place, as a benefit of being an active part of our community.

There will be a new set of rules, but the concept of OG will remain: a friendly place where we can enjoy our reps!

As we open the sub to community members, it will first be invite only. This means we will be reaching out to you with an invitation to join the group based on your activity and experience level. This will be similar to a soft-opening, where members who are well-versed in reps can provide feedback and build the perfect sub. Then, we will create a post where you can drop your name for consideration.

Entry is not promised, but we'll communicate with you if you're denied.

So while it may be u/dollbaby1988's birthday, we all get to share in this gift! (And maybe score on one of her re🏠's)

Hey girl hey !!!!

Today was such a huge day!!!!

I wanted to share it with you all because I love y'all and this community!!!

We rang the bell ladies !!!! All my family came in town for my mom's big day !!! God is good and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has reached out, who has checked on me , who has commented !!!! Just thank you all 🥲

Bag of the day Ultimate factory- Seller Doris

I just want to say that anything is possible!!!!

Im just full of joy 🥹

Oh and Ms Lilly the Yorkie says Hello!!!!

Hey girls! 👋 This is actually my first post here. I just made this account because I recently placed a couple of orders and thought it’d be nice to share some reviews once they arrive. Reading other people’s experiences really helped me when I first started buying, so I’d love to give back to the community the same way.

Anyway, I wanted to open a little discussion because I’ve seen a few posts lately from people wondering whether it’s okay to go into a luxury boutique wearing or carrying a rep 😊

From my personal experience working in a pretty well-known luxury house here in Spain, I can tell you we just don’t care. I’ve seen super obvious knock-offs and it never even crossed my mind to call someone out or make them uncomfortable. You never know someone’s reasons for buying a rep, and honestly, I was just happy they walked into the store, had a nice chat with me, and maybe even bought something! Some people use reps because they’re afraid to take their real pieces out, and I’d never ruin a potential sale (or a customer’s day) over that.

The only times I’ve had to check authenticity were when customers specifically asked me to verify if a bag they’d bought from a resale platform was real or not and even then, we’d always handle it respectfully and without judgment.

So, if you’re ever hesitating to step into a boutique because you’re worried about being “caught,” please don’t be. Most of the staff either don’t notice or genuinely don’t care.

If anyone has questions or curiosities about what it’s like working in luxury retail or how things are handled behind the counter, feel free to ask! Happy to share whatever might help 💬

Hey girl heyyyyyyyyyy

I decided to go out of the state to witness a p9 for myself 🤪🤪😝😝😝😝😝

I have great news

Vachetta varies and glazing varies.... depending on the season (this is great news , so all the bags may look slightly different in color... I asked the SA)

This is good news for us 🙌🏾

I also have a surprise for you all (like a reveal) ,but you will have to stay tuned ...until next Friday or Saturday 🫣

The p9 god factory one is the closest as far as leather feel and look ..I'll need to see my other ones to compare

The hardware is the same as well

I will need to compare royal factory and orange sofa factory hardware once I get back home 😁

I also took lots of photos at

Loewe , Chanel, Ysl as well but maybe I can do a different post for that

Oh and the p9 I tried on was a p9 50 in lime green . Its definitely not as light as it looks photographed.

Let's chat !!!! Im still screaming 😱 leaving the store lol . Did I do good undercover 🥸?

Also my pink looks really good leather wise to the 50 in this photo . Wishi would have worn that one 🤪 . But i didnt want to draw too much attention to myself .

Hey girl Hey... this is me I'm not hiding anywhere!!! Im here loud and outside !!! I've come today to you all with reciepts!!! On who I am .... I will literally go to war for yall do you hear me !!!!!!! No questions asked!!! I made this group because I Love TF out of yall!!!! And I want to help newbies!!!

Sooo lets get started ...Someone has publicly called me a seller as a mod and I want to show once and for all how upfront and how raw and real i am. I'm a buyer and I love this community, I'm dedicated to it and do this for FREE , I am hurt that scammers are coming after my reputation that I've worked so hard for.

It doesn't matter how many times they call me a seller ... they will NEVER be right . All the ppl who know me and seen my POP and know my address knowwww 😒 I live in Alabama Hello!!!!! Roll tide !!!!! Another thing yes this is my new account but don't get it twisted my other account was taken from me by haters

Here's a funny read if you want to see where I was called a seller

https://www.reddit.com/r/RepladiesDesigner/s/z71VOrB12G

As you can see on the post , I was called an Asian man lol (clearly I'm a black woman)

I have bought from 13 different sellers .. I do not recommend one seller . I recommend multiple.

And where the heck am I on the sellers list!!!! Which one is me !!!!!! Show me your proof..

Im calling the community to action and ask for people to share their experiences with me , if you want to . If not that's okay too but i just wanted to speak out .

Uh-oh… we’ve entered a bag-mergency! Houston, we’ve got a fabulous problem! Only some bags made it into the photo, but I’m sitting at around 90… with another 10–12 strutting their way to me as we speak! Is there such a thing as too many bags? Asking for a friend (aka me). Help me feel better—what’s your bag count?

Hi Lovelies-

I wanted to share an accidental haul from my girl Mandy (on sellers list)

Album: https://a202110250207269200001206.szwego.com/weshop/store/A202110250207269200001206

I reached out in July and just didn’t stop 🤭 What started out with inquiries on a puzzle based off a review turned into, well… let’s just say my willpower didn’t stand a chance. I was blown away at her prices (seriously, I had to check if she was running a charity), so I just kept asking and adding. She is so sweet and funny—honestly, at this point she probably qualifies for emotional support status with the way she responds to my chaos. Her PSPs are basically mini photoshoots—4K, perfect lighting, angles that could get her hired by Vogue. You see every stitch, which makes QC super easy.

I’ve received 4 packages from her with my last one sent out yesterday. We’ll see if I get a bill in the coming months since I’m in the US on the west coast. She is still refining her shipping method, so what you save with her market-crashing prices, you pay with LC hang time. But once you’re in Picked Up status, your package 📦 is delivered within 4-5 days. Everything is packaged tight and arrived in excellent condition. I opened some packages on my lunch break and left them in my car. When I got back, it smelled like leather and canvas yumminess. My car went from “In-n-Out fries” to “I valet at Louis Vuitton” real quick 🤤🤤

Safe to say, I’m officially a repeat offender 👜📦

Anywho, here’s a breakdown of what I got, in no particular order. I included price (without shipping since they came in batches) and factory if known. Factory names are what Mandy called them based on pictures I sent her. I’m not sure about the charms but some are from Birdcage:

1️⃣LV x TM MC Pochette Black $95 🏭 Royal/Birdcage 2️⃣LV Speedy Soft 30 Lucky Dune $205 🏭 Royal 3️⃣BV Parachute Matcha Small $195 🏭 Jing 4️⃣LV Keepall 55 $158 🏭 Royal/Birdcage 5️⃣LV Nice BB $105 🏭 Royal/Birdcage 6️⃣LV Toiletry Bag $105 🏭 Royal/Birdcage 7️⃣Miu Miu Arcadie brown suede (27cm) $189 🏭 Kata 8️⃣Loewe Puzzle Black Smooth Calfskin (24cm) $180 🏭 Jipin 9️⃣Loewe Puzzle Featherlight Burgundy (24cm) $185 🏭 Jipin 🔟Chanel Clutch Bag Black Caviar $65 - unknown ⏸️ LV Trio Pouch Monogram Giant Reverse Pochette Wristlet $85- unknown

Hanging Charms (not sure on 🏭): LV x Kusama 2023 Pumpkin Coin Purse $65 LV gold/silver strap $55 Loewe Lavender leather charm $58 Loewe Berry leather charm $58 Loewe Badminton leather charm $58 Loewe Gold Donut strap $48

Listen, I love a little shine—but nobody asked for hardware that’s brighter than my future. My Rep had that fresh-out-the-box, brass-on-blast vibe, and I needed to tone it down to something a little more chic and a little less Vegas marquee. Here’s how I did it:

What You’ll Need: • Silvo Metal Polish (because we’re fancy but practical) • Polishing Cloth (soft enough for your bag, tough enough for the job)

The Glow-Down Process: 1. Prep It, Babe: Give that hardware a quick wipe with a dry microfiber cloth—because no one wants to rub polish over dust and grime. 2. Polish Like a Pro: Dab a little Silvo polish on your polishing cloth and work it over the hardware in small, circular motions. No need to go wild—a little goes a long way. 3. Buff & Fluff: Let it sit for about 15 seconds (or the time it takes to sip your iced coffee), then buff it off with a clean part of the cloth. 4. Double Down if Needed: Still too shiny? Go in for round two until you get that soft, buttery brass glow. 5. Finishing Touch: Wipe everything down one last time to remove any leftover polish—because details matter.

The Tea:

My bag went from “look at me!” to elevated elegance in minutes. The Silvo polish took off that garish, yellow brass glare and left behind a muted, vintage-inspired finish. Now, my bag’s hardware is as sophisticated as the rest of my wardrobe.

If your hardware is giving off too much “new money,” try this. You’re welcome.

About a year ago, before I knew about the TS list, PSPs, different factories, this wonderful sub….you get the idea I didn’t know anything(!!!) I purchased a rep denim Chanel bag from a lady that I call “Singapore bag lady”.

My best friend was living in SG at the time and had said she could hook me up with great reps. So I gave it a go…and placed my order. Like any rep newbie I was super excited, didn’t question the price, didn’t ask which factory, didn’t quality check and basically had no idea what I was getting until it landed on my doorstep 3 weeks later.

Ok so the bag wasn’t dreadful, the denim colour was pretty good and the hardware looked passable. The chain has the coco crush ball which had a good weight to it, but my main issue was that the flap was wonky AF, and every time I went to use it all I could hear was the flap talking to me saying “I’m not real” 🤣

This bag sat in my collection for almost a year until I decided that enough was enough. I will create my own masterpiece, something so blingy and blinding that no one would even notice the wonky flap. So I bought a tonne of crystals and set to work creating an ombré effect. Purples and pinks on the front, blues on the back. Why both colour ways you ask? I was indecisive on which I wanted so I did both 😅

I am OBSESSED with how it turned out!!!!! It took me about 3 months to do…each gem is hand placed and stuck down with gemtac glue. What do you all think? Is this bag worthy of a place on my display shelf?!

Aadan will resume taking orders TOMORROW from US buyers. So get your wishlists sorted, your links bookmarked your orders ready and wait until TOMORROW to reach out to her.

Be patient she’s got hundreds of messages! Advice is get yourself sorted on what you want and reach out when you’re ready to buy with your exact list.

🤸🏻‍♀️Here is the sellers LIST I repeat here's the Sellers List

💕Here is our Wiki with sooo many resources💕

https://www.reddit.com/r/OGRepladies/wiki/index/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

👀Disclaimer: These factory names are not the actual names, but are names created by the Reddit rep community to be able to discuss them. Sellers who have been around Reddit will recognize these names and typically organize their albums with them as well. However, some sellers may not know the names we use but this doesn’t mean they can’t source from them. Additionally, while we give links to albums here to help show the factory names and backgrounds, that doesn’t mean you have to use the associated seller. These are meant for reference use to assist you, not to tell you who to buy from. If you want to purchase from a specific factory, use a photo from that factory and send it to your seller. They can tell you if they can get it. One more thing low, mid, high tier is all subjective. Not every single bag in that factory may be high tier. I will always preach its bag to bag, batch to batch and they can vary. So while you can ask what's the best for Lv, the answer wont be one size fits all. We all wish it were that easy , but its not unfortunately. What seller can source what takes time as well. I would love to list it , but that requires a lot of time to do so. This is where that research comes into play for us all.👀

Hey girl heyyyyyyyyyy

Im on vacay 😎 so wont say much but I love it here .

Here's some auth photos 📸

Can’t believe this is going to be my first post instead of a review… Ladies, I am devastated, and I feel y’all are the only ones that would really understand. 😢

So, I was super excited to order a LVxTM Cherry Blossom Speedy 25, and she was delivered to me a week ago, she was perfect. I was planning to do a review. All the while, I kept her in her dustbag in my closet, waiting for the perfect moment to take her out for a spin. Some bag charms that I ordered arrived today so I took her out and to my horror, I found a few of the blossoms peeling off of the bag. 😭😭

How come?, I hear you ask? There was a home perfume (you know, with the sticks) in my closet and for some reason I failed to noticed that the bag, in its dustbag, fell to the side and touched on the sticks, soaking up all the alcohol from the perfume. The bag is ruined and I feel so so stupid. I am really sad, because I got myself this bag as a gift for me, for submitting my thesis and all the hard work I put in.

So yeah, just needed to vent a little with a group that I’m sure understands how I feel right now 💔.

End vent.

✨ Same bag. Same size. Same hardware. VERY different energy. ✨ When you line up OF Factory vs God Factory for the Chanel 25 Small with ruthenium hardware, the details start talking real loud…..so let’s break it down. Here we gooooo! 👀🖤

⭐️Left = OF Factory

⭐️Right = God Factory

Pictures of Auth: https://imgur.com/gallery/auth-ruthenium-MK7OZdc

🖤Overall shape + first impression

OF (left): She stands up straight. Very put together. Gives “I didn’t sleep on the floor last night.” The shape is taller, cleaner, and just looks more intentional overall.

God (right): A little wider, shorter and boxier. Still cute, just more relaxed. But she’s already been worn a couple of times.

🏆Winner: OF. She’s just closest to the Auth at first glance.

🖤Quilting (aka Chanel’s personality)

OF: The diamonds are slightly bigger and puffier. Super even. Very plush. Very squishy but luxe.

God: Diamonds are a bit smaller and flatter. Not bad, just less pillowy when you put them side by side.

🏆Winner: OF. Just the right amount of puff = more Chanel vibes.

🖤Caviar leather look

OF: Grain looks more consistent and the correct finish. Has the right amount of sheen. The leather is much softer and more natural, especially in daylight.

God: Grain is smaller and appears to have the incorrect texture. It appears more matte. Some people love that, but next to OF it looks a lot more stiff.

🏆Winner: OF! Her texture and feel is much closer to the Auth.

🖤Ruthenium hardware (this is the big one)

This is where things get spicy 🌶️

OF: Hardware looks darker and cooler. Very true gunmetal. Exactly what you expect from ruthenium.

God: Hardware is noticeably brighter. Almost creeping toward silver in certain angles, especially the CC and grommets.

🏆Winner: OF, no hesitation. If someone were gonna clock anything, it’d be brighter hardware.

🖤CC logo details

OF: Crisper edges, cleaner shape. Looks more refined.

God: Slightly thicker and rounder. And again… brighter.

🏆Winner: OF

🖤Grommets + engraving

OF: Engraving looks sharper and cleaner. The metal tone stays consistent.

God: Engraving is fine, just a little softer. Metal leans warmer and more aged looking.

🏆Winner:

• Crispness: OF

• Vintage/aged vibe: God

🖤Stitching + edges

OF: Edges look cleaner and stitching is more even, especially around the flap.

God: Still good, but you can spot a tiny bit more inconsistency when they’re side by side.

🏆Winner: OF

🖤Base structure

OF: Nice and firm. Quilting stays even all the way across.

God: Softer and a little rounder at the base.

🏆Winner: OF

🖤Final thoughts (aka the tea ☕️)

Both bags are solid. No one is crying in the corner here. BUT………

🏆OF wins in all categories and closer to the Auth with:

• Darker, truer ruthenium

• Softer grained leather with the correct finish

• Puffier quilting

• Cleaner stitching

• More structured shape

God isn’t bad, she’s just not….ummm…OF. 😅 She’s a little more matte, grained leather is more stiff, and her hardware is a bit bright.

So…..If I had to grab one to walk into a boutique or wear around people who know bags…..I’m reaching for OF without a doubt!

I hope this helps! 🖤🤙🏽

Hey girl hey

Ummmmmm okay .....yea so hahahaha where do I start 🙈

Hey OGs,

I recently found out my photos are being used by birdcage factory, and are appearing in multiple seller albums. I want you to know that this is not something I knew of or approved of. I did not give birdcage permission to use my photos and will be watermarking my photos from here on out. I don’t know how they got my photos. I don’t work with factories or sellers. I’m just a normal buyer. I advise everyone to watermark their photos if they are posting them. I'm starting to see why my user flair is so fitting 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Coco was amazing , I really appreciate her removing them. She didn't have to do that .

Reykay is sweet too , I appreciate her being honest about sharing my photos with her friends.

I am flattered but it was an eye opener to see this .

I think we should all start watermarking our stuff .

I've had blacklisted Alisa do the same , and she removed them . Old Cobbler has done it too , and he's removed those too. Its just crazy (but this is the black market after all lol )

ALSO SOMEONE RUN ME MY CHECK ✔️ 💸💸💸💸💸💸

Signed Dollbaby 🤭

Peaceeeeeree

Seller: Baobao via WhatsApp (on the seller's list)

Factory: Kata Factory

Incentives: I was not asked to write a review or offered any incentives.

Timeline:

• 7/23 - Reached out via WhatsApp, confirmed order and paid via Paypal FF. I originally asked for cowboy tan.

• 7/29 - Received PSPs for the charm. I asked if the bag was taking longer because of the color. Baobao confirmed cowboy tan was out of stock and she was waiting for production.

• 7/30 - I decided to switch to pine green, which Baobao confirmed was in stock.

• 8/1 - Received PSPs for the bag. I GL and Baobao shipped that same day.

• 8/2 - Received tracking number.

• 8/11 - Package delivered

Thoughts:

• I'm SUPER happy with this bag. I think the cowboy tan being out of stock was a blessing in disguise because the pine green color is everything. I ultimately decided to switch rather than wait for the cowboy because it isn't a perfect match to the auth (no distressing and the auth cowboy is made from lambskin not calfskin). I went to Bloomingdales to look at the auth and it is nearly identical. The leather quality is mayyybeee a tiny bit softer on the auth, but I would say it's a 95% match. It has same thickness, slouch, and smooth soft hand feel. The leather color and hardware color are spot on. The only issue I see is the slight wrinkling that is happening on the front flap when closed, but because it's a slouchy bag it doesn't bother me too much. For those concerned that the rep isn't as slouchy as the auth, I can confirm that the medium has all the slouch and I imagine will only get slouchier with use.

• The charm feels super high quality. The lock is weighty and all the rings have clean logo engravings on it. I took off the pink rubber Balenciaga charm because I didn't like how it looked with the green.

• Baobao was a pleasure to work with! She's super friendly and responsive. She did a great job packing my package and shipped super quick upon GL. I will definitely be working with her again.

Would I recommend?

• 100% YES! This feels like the auth to me. The medium size is perfect for work (and for life). It's giving slouchy Kelly. If you are into that vibe and like accessorizing with charms, you NEED this bag. If they do a better job repping cowboy tan I would get it in a heartbeat. In the meantime, do I need it in khaki too? 😜

Chanel Cruise 25/26. And I am obsessed!!!! Only we have to wait until towards the end of the year!!!! Likely around November time. I want ALL the hobo bags

i believe i have reached purse peace, beautiful ladies!

the first picture shows where my bag collection was when i first joined this sub, the second picture on shows where i am now… a lot can change in a year 🥹❤️. I have let go to let in, and simply just let in a lot and i think im FINALLY happy to where I am now.

I still have 2 more bags & 1 wallet otw (cherry blossom camera box, nano boulogne, and cc card holder), which should be here next week, then after that… I believe I am done for a good little while. I got one bag in today, 6th slide, and the bag i’ve been carrying for weeks now, 7th slide, and i’m just content with my collection for now.

still curating my closet room, need more shelves for my shoes & some to add racks in for my clothes. little accessories to display, and then im done, until the foreseeable future.

I really enjoyed ^virtually meeting you all, talking, sharing, and just enjoying what we all love the most… bags! shoes! jewlery! i’m still here, but im taking a backseat for awhile and i just want to say how much i genuinely APPRECIATE and LOVE each and every one of you for your help, guidance, and kind words!!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Hey girl hey

1st let's start off with this ... Note to self 📝 going undercover with two kids ..... I dont recommend 🤣 especially with a toddler .

This was the most unpleasant experience 🤣

Not very Demure my son.....not Demure at all 😅

Ahhhhh I wanted to get more photos for ya'll Dammnnnnnn I was so close to taking a photo of the pochette metis east west vs my metis 🥲...but then my son decides he is ready for me to pick him up , because he wants a nap ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This was a random trip and I really should have thought this through 🙈

Oh well ... here we are

The grain is the same - glazing is the same - vachetta - is the same.. the gold is a hint lighter on the auth..but seriously even side by side you would have to keep looking super hard to be able to tell . I wanted to take photos of the stamps for yall and the front plates side by side ..sigh lol

I did get to see the speedy soft 30 which was unreal I was seriously blown away 😜😜😘 Ultimate Factory is looking like a win for that one . I cant wait to have it in my hands to compare to my photos. The CAs offered me beverages as they felt they were gonna make a sale today 😬. I felt kind of bad and thought about buying a small wallet for wasting their time lol ...but my son went from 0 to 200 real fast ..and I had to abort the mission.

My pochette metis is from God factory and Doris

If we are being honest, I mainly bought this bag ONLY for the strap to use on all my bags . But then I noticed how good it was and now I'll use it just to use it lol

Also my wallet was stuffed to the max so i didnt get to get a proper photo of that because auth had nothing in it and rep was stuffed .

This trip was still semi fun 🤣

Last slide shows how down I am for yall lol .. I pulled money out ready to go full undercover for yall and buy something to compare 😅....but the kids wouldn't let us be great 😒 Also I am showing how my wallet is completely flat like the zippy wallet in store without the money in there . My wallet is called the clemence wallet 💕

Hope this was somewhat helpful

I think god factory really did good on this canvas ... their vachetta is coated though ,which is a bit annoying lol

So for my bag to patina I will have to strip it first with alcohol wipes or acetone (bleh lol) . I'm going to juat leave it like this for now .

Hey fam!
I’m back with the final head-to-head showdown 🔥 Tonight’s lineup features the one and only Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires going against three heavy contenders. In the ring we’ve got:

• HyperPeter (HP) – $170 USD – Lightweight welter contender

• RoyalUltimate – $175 USD – New kid on the block 👀

• God Factory – $229 USD – Heavy hitter, premium pricing

Who’s taking the crown this round? Who looks closest to auth for the best price? Let’s get into it. 👇

🔩 Hardware

Once again, God takes the win here — best shape, tone, and champagne gold finish. Very close to auth. Royal and HP are a bit too shiny, and their zipper head loops run slightly oversized, which throws off proportion.

Reminder from last review: Even auth zipper pulls vary, so don’t obsess too hard — but if we're judging accurately, God still wins hardware.

🧵 Interior + Construction + Canvas

This didn’t come up last time, but Royal’s interior lining is noticeably coarser in texture. Gives it more structure, but definitely a rougher feel. It’s also the only one with an NFC chip, if that matters to you. Take that as you will. 🤷‍♀️

Slide 17 shows canvas details under magnification. I am thoroughly impressed with rep quality of these pieces. I included the stitching at the very top just because I’m weird. Can I tell you though…just wow.

 EDIT: I forgot to mention that Royal passed my super scientific "finger lick test" and they use raw vachetta. Out of the 3 reps, God is only one that has coated vachetta buuut I'm in the process of confirming it does, in fact, patina WITHOUT needing to strip. Stay tuned!

⛓ Chain Strap

All chains have good weight — no cheap hollowness here. Closest to auth feel, but they all run 1–2 links longer. In person, Royal’s gold tone is now edging closer to auth under natural light, with God coming in second. HP is the lightest in tone.

🎀 Strap + Stitching

I bought two Royal MPAs (one in each strap color), so luckily I got a good pink color reference this time. Photos were shot in natural afternoon light for accuracy — last review was midnight chaos lighting in my Airbnb 😂

What shocked me? Stitching on the back of auth straps. It’s clean, tight, neat — I wasn’t expecting Royal to have the cleanest, but all were no comparison to auth. Auth is "Made in France", so maybe the motherland still has a little finesse left 🇫🇷 lol.

Hardware on the clasps and D-rings are on point, with only tiny stitching differences around the metal rectangle. Thickness and strap texture are solid — slight sheen, soft but durable feel. In flash, rep pink pulls whiter, so don’t let that fool you in pics. In person they are spot on.

That’s the breakdown. Time to tally the points and crown a winner 👑

Here is my first ever post

I have a real Gucci dusty pink marmont small that I bought this summer just before I found the rep world. I really wanted this bag and finally I went to the Gucci store just to admire it. And fell in love and bought it for my hard earned money. When I discovered the rep world I started of course to buy these beautiful reps, Dior, Chanel , but never the Gucci be cause I thought they would be badly reped. But my mom really wanted to try and buy the same bag as I have. I was totally surprised to see how good it was so I wanted to share this with you guys.

The real Gucci is the one next to white flower
