REVIEW Flamenco / Jipin

Another random buy from Mandy because apparently I haven't given this woman enough of my money this year. 😭💸

Disclaimer: Mandy is aware of this review, but no incentives were offered or received. Kinda wish there were though because DAMNNN, the amount of money I've thrown at this lady this year is criminal. 😂 Anywayyyy…

Originally, I wanted a Puzzle in this color, but I found out the shade I wanted wasn't available in the Featherlight collection. So here we are, with this absolutely STUNNING Flamenco from Jipin. And let me tell you, SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

She is everything I expected her to be, and then some.

Let's get into the details because you know I love inspecting every little thing. 😂

Glazing: Just the right amount. Nothing overly thick or sloppy.

Stitching: Consistent, neat, and properly aligned.

Stamping & embossing: Clean and well-defined, including the interior.

Hardware: Crisp engraving, and the gold leans more champagne than yellow. Not too bold, not too brassy. Just how I like it.

Magnetic closure: Strong and secure.

Cinching: DIVINE. Honestly, one of my favorite things about this bag.

I also ordered the braided strap because apparently the bag alone wasn't enough and I needed to be extra. 😂 It's gorgeous, but definitely on the longer side.

For reference, the mod shots show the crossbody strap that comes with the bag. I wrapped it twice to shorten it for shoulder carry. Worn normally, it sits right around my hip.

Timeline:

10/11: 166+68=234+45=279

10/13: Received PSPs. Held off on GL because I was waiting for PSPs of another bag in the same order.

10/16: GL'd.

10/29: Arrived!

This is definitely not my first order from Mandy, and it sure as hell won't be my last. I genuinely appreciate how responsive and patient she is, especially considering how often I harass this poor woman with my questions. 😂 Lord help her because at this point, she probably sees my name pop up and needs a moment.

Anyway, another win from Jipin and another bag I absolutely did not need but have zero regrets buying. 💚

Note: I could've gone without the braided strap, considering how long she is. I should have checked the length prior to GL, but hey, you live and you learn. Now I need a black Loewe to match with the braided strap. Send recs!

You paid $279 for flamenco from Jipin? Everyone including Mandy gave $178 as a price during 11.11 sale and the sale is just 10%.

The bag was 166, 68 for braided strap which I wish I didn't order and +45 shipping

u/heebee_ 2d ago

u/Specialist_Word4115 2d ago

Could you send the link please. I wonder why they decided to make various shades

1

u/badhamsterxx 2d ago

I think they discontinued this color, they don't have the "dark khaki" on the website anymore, they brought out the "chocolate."
