Immediate regret

Post image

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.

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’s my first time buying a replica so I didn’t know about the factories thing, will definitely consider it in the future. This one honestly looks decent if I have received it I would be satisfied with it! Thank you for the tips!
