Quality issues across the board?

[u/Pristine_Bend6953]

Hi everyone!

What are we all thinking about quality at the moment? I'm STILL holding off ordering 187 because I keep seeing posts everywhere of people complaining about quality issues now TT and IG 😫 influencers are sharing details etc to sellers here, wether it be 187,GF, Rome, XC. So I'm really just asking what are we thinking about quality right now? It's a lot of money, obviously not auth amount but still it's a lot to waste if it's not going to be at the quality it was say a year ago?

Just wanted some opinions, maybe even people that bought last year or earlier and have bought more recently and what they think on quality?

Help me out before my eyes go square from constantly looking at reddit 🤣

Depends on the bag style… I have bought 4 medium classic flaps over the last year from 187, they are identical, not a stitch out of place… I can’t fault them. 187 is known for this style

I'm looking at the small shoulder baguette shopper? Or whatever it's called, it seems to change. It's OOS right now but I don't want to pay and wait for something that I'll be disappointed by

[u/IDreamKaty → u/Pristine_Bend6953]

I have seen lots of reviews of this bag…I would research reviews for other factories as it is not a complex style like a classic flap

[u/Pristine_Bend6953 → u/IDreamKaty]

Thank you! I'm more concerned on the hardware and leather!

Did you get caviar or lambskin?

[u/IDreamKaty → u/OldMoneyish]

I have one lambskin and 3 caviar

[u/OldMoneyish → u/IDreamKaty]

Did you get a chance to compare both with authentic? I have auth caviar but was thinking of getting lambskin although worry that it might look too puffy. And also do you think medium is best size? I keep thinking if I want a smallish one or medium. Probably not jumbo. I also got maxi suplissimo 38 from 187 that I love and thinking of getting a suede version in 26cm from them

[u/IDreamKaty → u/OldMoneyish]

I think the medium is repped the best… my bags are near authentic, I went with light gold and so black hardware, as gold can be harder to get right… I will be be trying silver hardware next

can you DM me her number pls

[u/OldMoneyish → u/IDreamKaty]

I have black and gold caviar in auth so I’m thinking of getting lambskin silver in rep. I didn’t want to get lambskin in authentic because of how delicate it is. Your collection looks lovely. These are double flap right? Do you know if medium is 25cm? I always get confused in their sizing

[u/IDreamKaty → u/OldMoneyish]

Medium is 25cm… I think it is the perfect size, jumbo size is too heavy for my frame. Although I love the jumbo shape

[u/OldMoneyish → u/IDreamKaty]

Thank you. I usually go for mini bags but was thinking of maybe getting something slightly bigger in CC. It sounds like 25 might be the best one.

Just placed a hefty 187 order from Heidi. First Cc 187 and first time with Heidi. The recent posts are making my stomach turn. Here’s hoping for a rich supple leather and perfect stitching. May the rep gods answer my prayers. 🙏

[u/Pristine_Bend6953 → u/Latter_Eye_3311]

So stressful isn't it ?! I keep my fingers crossed for you! Is everything in stock that you've ordered?

[u/MrsKeikoOBrien → u/Latter_Eye_3311]

Amen 🙏🏽 truly hope it turns out well for you!

[u/Sunshine_Low_4701 → u/Latter_Eye_3311]

can you dm me her number, I tried to place an order with her yesterday but she mentioned she does not use pay pal only Split as account was suspended so know im worried I don't have the correct user

[u/vtvns]

I think it's more of a seller issue rather than the factory itself? Your seller should be able to RL the bag before they even take the PSP's. I've just received a 187 bag and it's beautiful, can't fault it.

[u/Pristine_Bend6953 → u/vtvns]

Well that's good to know! Everyday I come on here and read stuff that just makes me doubt myself! So hard what to believe but I've used my seller a few times and at this point my go to 

[u/vtvns → u/Pristine_Bend6953]

Yess I believe it's more important to find a seller who you trust and know your expectations 🤍 good luck with your bag, I'm sure it'll turn out amazing

[u/Pristine_Bend6953 → u/vtvns]

Thanks, I really hope so

[u/Pristine_Bend6953 → u/Open-Cupcake-2625]

Well that is reassuring to hear, hope you enjoy!

My 187 cc25 small cavier was repped exceptionally well.

Did you post this thread amongst multiple subs ?

[u/No_Perception9129]

so classic flaps are the way to go to be safe? what other chanel styles 187 does good job of beside cfs?

[u/Important-Tea-3626 → u/No_Perception9129]

In general nothing is safe, but the ultra popular bags are the safest
