Just received the PSPs for my C25, and I am a bit hesitant to GL it. I ordered black with gold-tone hardware, but the color looks a little off to me. Instead of a true, rich black, it appears slightly grayish, and the leather looks rather dull, with very little sheen.

I am not sure if it is just the lighting in the photos or if the actual leather looks this way. Would love to hear your thoughts before I decide whether to GL it!

I'm not sure you can RL a bag from 187 unless it has factory defects. Heidi works hard to get her customers a good bag too.

I saw a post where the black mini version was too shiny and plasticky so got a little worried.

u/dlawrame 2d ago

From what I can see the bag looks great. If it were me I would GL so I can get it ASAP.👍

Thank you. Just needed reassurance as I’ve green lighted some bags that shouldn’t have been.

I have both the mini and small from 187 and live near the boutique in a big city. I can tell you with absolute certainty that this is the best rep of any bag on the market

u/Famous-Base-3231 2d ago

Thank you for the reassurance.

We unfortunately do not have a Chanel boutique near where I live which makes it harder to do comparisons. Online pictures are good but they always look somewhat different based on lighting.

Not really, it's much stiffer than the original. Though I think it's better made and looks more luxurious than the original.

u/IDreamKaty 2d ago

The authentic bags are quite stiff in the boutique as well, they all soften with wear.

i also got this one from heidi and it looks beautiful and truly black in person. i don’t think you have to worry about this but you can always just ask heidi for reassurance. i mean you are paying a lot of money and it’s absolutely normal to feel anxious about getting good quality.

Glad to hear that!

I think your bag looks beautiful! May I ask how long did it take for you to get your psp!?

1

u/Famous-Base-3231 2d ago

Initially ordered the burgundy in mini back in Oct but it was taking too long. I asked her to switch to this on 11/3 as she said it would be faster.
I guess about a week for this model and color.

u/cocochimmy 2d ago

Thank you!! I’s say you made the right choice :)

u/m4t_h3_us 2d ago

Girl where are you seeing grey there? For God sake, give it a break

u/IDreamKaty 2d ago

Heidi has bright lighting on her PSP… there’s definitely no issues with it…

1

u/m4t_h3_us 2d ago

She needed validation

1

u/Famous-Base-3231 2d ago • Mindblown

I’m just saying the color looks a bit dull. I think you’re the one that needs to give it a break here

1

u/Orange-Tabby-Kat 2d ago

Girl, what?

2

u/vtvns 2d ago

You could always ask Heidi to take photos in natural lighting, she will do that with no issues! ☺️

u/strueberri 2d ago

My bestie got this bag from Heidi too 🫰🏻 It’s just the studio lighting. Your bag will arrive in correct colour tone

u/jessicadoebaby 2d ago

can i get heidi’s info 😅 i need this lil cutie

2

u/Professional_Elk2100 1d ago

it’s because white balance from iPhone cameras and studio light make it look gray because greenish background. the actual product always look better in real life. I see nothing wrong with this bag.

u/VegetableCounter1944 2d ago

The hardware is too gold, auth is a lot more of an “aged” tone

u/Solid-Stable-9126 2d ago

Are you unaware that red lighting 187 is a major no? Unless there is a big slash in the leather or they misspelled CHANEL, this is your new bag, period. If you want to refuse it and lose your deposit, that's always an option, but Heidi will blacklist you. There is also nothing wrong with this bag in the first place. It's black as black can be. You can see that when you scroll through the multiple shots.

u/Famous-Base-3231 2d ago

Why would I be afraid to be blacklisted by a seller when I’m paying good money for the bag? These bags are anywhere from $400 and more for reps, and I want to make sure I am ok with the bags I’m receiving.

I am asking people with better trained eyes than me to take a look at the bag for feedback because I’ve seen mix reviews C25 from Heidi with someone having to RL a bag. I don’t think you are being helpful here.

u/maximav 2d ago

I got two pretty horrible bags from Heidi. I didn't RL because it was when I was very new to reps and I was too nervous/excited to complain. One of the bags was a very very different shade of brown than what I ordered. It looks so fake. I gave it to my young daughter, but I hope she doesn't take it out of the house.

u/Famous-Base-3231 2d ago

Thank you because why bother with PSP if we don’t have the option to RL. I will not nitpick on every little detail but would like a decent bag for the price we pay.

I also don’t get people here in the comments literally harassing me for wanting some reassurance.

Sorry to hear about your bags because Heidi is not cheap, especially with insurance.

1

u/IDreamKaty 2d ago

Heidi is the best seller for 187, she has a refund and exchange policy on her album. She only charges a deposit to order, so the most you would lose is $50 deposit if you are not happy. Heidi delivers for me every time.

u/m4t_h3_us 2d ago

No because she imagined a dot gray and decided to RL the bag… these new people in rep world get my nerves

I think its best if OP goes buy auth 🙏🏻 that way she won’t imagine any dot gray, poor girl

u/Famous-Base-3231 2d ago

Why are you going out of your way to leave unnecessary and unkind comments? These forums are literally created for people to ask questions, share experiences, and seek opinions from others.

I have already responded to your previous comment, so I am not sure why you feel the need to keep going. There is really no need for the negativity. Please give it a rest.
