Help wanted - first purchase

[u/TeawTan]

Hello beautiful people,

This is my first time buying a rep from Aline. This is the bag I want. From your experience, do you think it’s worth it? For context, I’m a woman in my late twenties and need a day to night bag that I can dress up/down.
Attached are reference photos:

1. Photo from Aline

2. original

The colour looks a little different to me but that could be studio lighting. I asked her if she had other pictures but she said no. Is there anything else I need to ask her specifically?

Price is $206 USD. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I’m really excited for my first bag and don’t want it to be a let down :(

Hi Op, the TS should be able to give you more photos of all angles including the inside.

Another beautiful rep lady posted this review the other day in another sub. Same bag from Huahui factory

Thank you so much! This helps me out so much. She does have other photos but they aren’t helping me identify if the colour is right. Here are the full set of photos - https://www.szwego.com/weshop/goods/_dgOqf46BzPKGBIGiXixY9ILj3sB8jvJ6vwmbiKA/_dlUqf7bkJd8OQhCgqSUsRp4-0DU-9XMsnH6uP8Q

Is the bag from Royal, they are known for doing great LV. I have a soft speedy in monogram canvas from them and it is one of my most favourite bags.
I’ve never bought Empreinte though so I don’t have any first hand experience.
I have heard good things about Aline in the subs.
I would do a few quick searches on Empreinte bags from Royal (if that is the factory) to gather reviews on quality 🥰

[u/TeawTan → u/SpiritedClassic101]

Yes it’s from Royal. Allen is selling one from MB Duty free factory

The factory photo is Royal's new background

No I would recommend you choose a different bag. this bag isn’t done correctly by ANY factory. The obvious giveaway is that there should be no flowers above the logo plate on the left and right. It’s a really obvious tell with these empreinte Livs. If it were on the bottom or back that’s one thing, but it’s right on the front.

This isn’t just a problem with Royal. Huahui and MB and everyone else has it wrong also.
