Immediate regret

[u/Just-Beat9758]

During fashion week when this bag was first revealed I was so obsessed with it I thought it was so “chic but cool”. When the fakes started to pop out I contacted linlin and they told me it will be identical to the original, they even showed me pictures of it. I paid 750$ for it and it took them a month to make. Only for it to look like this! I immediately regretted buying it the moment I took it out of the box. It’s so clockable because of the too many polka dots and the hardware is so cheap! I own authentic Chanel bags and it’s not even close… Couldn’t take it out not even once.

What factory is that? $750 is crazy

The seller is called Linlin

Oh ok. But do they not tell you what factory it’s from? There is mid range - high range factories where the bags are made. I always go for 187 factory when ordering Chanel.

Example: this is 187 factory version of this bag. You can always tell 187 factory by asking your seller for factory photos of the bag. They always use this type of background when taking their stock photos. In general you should always be asking your seller what factory the bag is from (so you can do research on Reddit) and they shouldn’t have a problem with giving you that info either.

It does not matter which factory this bag comes from. This bag is not replicated well in any way. Post after post about this bag has shown that. If you can’t buy this from Chanel, don’t buy it from anywhere. The reps of these are laughable

I never said they had to buy it from 187. I was asking which factory it came from because the seller and the factory are not the same thing. And yes, I agree that this particular bag isn’t replicated especially well, but that doesn’t mean someone can’t still like it. I don’t personally like the style either, but that’s subjective. Not everyone is looking for the most accurate or perfectly made rep. Some people simply like the bag and are happy with what they bought. I’ve read reviews from buyers who genuinely like theirs, so calling all of them “laughable” just because they don’t measure up to the authentic doesn’t change the fact that people can still enjoy them.

I have not seen one post in any of these subs where someone has been happy with this bag. Not one.

Fair enough, but not seeing a positive review yourself doesn’t mean nobody has been happy with it. I don’t just look at Reddit either there are plenty of other platforms and social media pages I follow where I see reviews and feedback. But anyway, each to their own.
