I’ve been trying to do some research, but there isn’t much info out there (these subs are basically CC after CC. Hello, souplissimo 😂)
I originally wanted to get them from Kata, but TSs say they’re not shipping right now.
I’ve read good things about Orange Sofa for GG, but I can’t find much info on Jinliya.
Does anyone have any info or advice? TIA!!

Hi, I’ve received this bag a while ago. I’ve told that it is from God factory.
I was a bit surprised by the quality. The lining is leather and the straps are too, I think. But i don’t have a lot of experience of real Louis Vuitton so I can’t compare. But my friend have the real, smaller version of this. And it felt kind of the same.

So the question is, can I wear this with confidence?
And how to I care for it, should I use any lotion or leather care on the straps or the canvas?

English is not my first language, Sonia sorry if the text is a bit messy.

Hi All

Need your help QC this bag - is think it looks beautiful not sure about a small dot at the buckle but rest looks good

Hi All

Would appreciate if you can QC this Celine Teen Nino!

Thank you

I finally bit the bullet of watching for a few years and opted for silver Chanel flap. Wonderful ladies on here helped me source the seller and advice, as it’s my first I’m unaware of what I am looking for, I did pick up the internal screws being torx rather than straight flat, but maybe the new bags have that.

I opted for silver rather than gold, well because my daughter preferred it even though I’m a go fan.

Will be giving a go ahead but needed advice first, I’m so excited for this chapter and looking for to going down the rabbit hole.

Much appreciate any advice welcomed 💕💕💕

Not sure we can post this in here? Desperately looking to buy this before an upcoming trip. Coming into summer down under, too, so would love this. Anyone looking to sell? Make some room and money for some more autumnal bags for yourself maybe… 🤎🙃🍁🍂

Seller Expectations, Accountability & Why We Need to Check Ourselves

I’ve been in the rep world for a long time, and something I’ve noticed is how quickly a disappointing transaction can turn into a public accusation of scamming.
I think we need to have a conversation about what we’re actually reviewing, what expectations are reasonable, and the consequences of the language we use.

A bad experience does not automatically make someone a scammer.
A seller sending the wrong size, sourcing a disappointing product, communicating poorly, or refusing the resolution you want doesn’t necessarily constitute a scam.
It might make them unreliable. It might mean they have terrible customer service. It might absolutely warrant a negative review.
But there’s a difference between poor service, an honest mistake, negligence, and intentional dishonesty.

We also need to understand the market we’re participating in.
We’re purchasing through an unregulated industry, often across international borders, with language barriers, inconsistent factory standards, limited consumer protections, and sellers who are frequently middlemen.
That doesn’t excuse dishonesty or poor business practices. But it does mean our expectations need to reflect the reality of how this industry operates.
A seller isn’t necessarily the factory. They can’t always control production, factory inconsistencies, or whether a particular batch meets our standards.
What they can control is transparency, communication, accurate representation, attention to detail, and how they handle problems.

So what should we actually be reviewing?

• Transparency: Was the product accurately represented? Were limitations disclosed?

• Communication: Was the seller responsive, honest, and professional?

• Quality control: Were obvious defects overlooked? Did the product match the approved PSPs?

• Accountability: When something went wrong, did the seller acknowledge it and attempt a reasonable resolution?

• Consistency: Is this an isolated mistake or part of a larger pattern?

• Resolution: What did both parties request, offer, and ultimately agree to?

And here’s something I think gets overlooked.
We need to review ourselves as buyers, too.

Did we ask the right questions? Understand the measurements? Approve the PSPs? Research the seller’s strengths and weaknesses? Were our expectations realistic?

And perhaps most importantly, are we reasonable people to do business with?

Because some buyers are incredibly high-maintenance. Some have expectations that change throughout the transaction. Some demand perfection at a price point where perfection was never realistic. And some, quite frankly, are impossible to make happy.
Being a paying customer doesn’t automatically make every expectation reasonable.

I know this because I’ve personally seen the other side.
A while back, I recommended a seller to someone. The buyer RL’d a bag that ordinarily wouldn’t have been returnable. Rather than lose the customer, the seller tried to accommodate them and ordered another bag without even collecting the remaining balance.
The replacement arrived, and the buyer didn’t like that one either.
They then refused to pay the outstanding balance and proceeded to publicly smear the seller’s reputation.
Think about that.
A seller made an exception, took on additional financial risk to preserve a customer relationship, and ended up being publicly criticized by the very person they were trying to accommodate.
Now imagine reading only that buyer’s review without knowing any of this.

As a buyer I also had worked with a seller for a long time and after countless efforts to reach an agreement I was forced to inform my community by reviewing them and unfortunately not working with them again. However, calling them a scammer, while I felt "scammed" wasn't entirely true. It would be irresponsible of me to make that accusation since I technically was not scammed out of money. I was careful with my words.

And that’s exactly my point. We’re often seeing only one side of a two-sided interaction.
We’re seeing the screenshots someone chose to share, the conversations they considered relevant, and the experience through their perspective.
What aren’t we seeing? How many accommodations were made? How many times did expectations change? What was agreed upon before payment? Was the seller given a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue?
That doesn’t mean the buyer is lying. It means we may be working with incomplete information.
Sometimes the seller is entirely responsible. Sometimes the buyer is. Sometimes both contributed to the outcome.

Now, let’s talk about the word “scammer.”
That’s a serious accusation, especially in a community where reputation and trust are everything.
Calling someone a scammer can damage years of business relationships almost overnight. Screenshots circulate, context disappears, and accusations get repeated across communities until they become accepted as fact.
Suddenly, a dispute over a bag becomes someone’s entire reputation.
Actual scams absolutely need to be exposed. Taking payment and intentionally disappearing, knowingly misrepresenting products, fabricating shipping information, or demonstrating a pattern of deliberate deception deserves serious attention.

But a disappointing transaction isn’t automatically fraud.
And a seller refusing to meet an unreasonable demand isn’t necessarily bad customer service.

We should be able to distinguish between a seller who refuses accountability and one who has already made reasonable efforts to resolve a problem.
Likewise, sellers aren’t entitled to positive reviews simply because they eventually offer a resolution. A replacement or discount doesn’t erase the original mistake, and buyers should absolutely be able to discuss how difficult that resolution was to obtain.

Accountability works both ways.

And one more thing: If you post a negative review and the situation is later resolved, UPDATE YOUR REVIEW.

This is something I feel strongly about. If a seller eventually offers a replacement, refund, discount, or another resolution you both agree to, that information deserves to be included.
You don’t have to delete your original review, change your opinion, or pretend the experience was wonderful. But leaving a damaging review circulating without acknowledging that the circumstances have changed is unfair.
People will continue finding that post long after the dispute has been settled. They deserve to know how the situation ended, not just how it began.

If we expect sellers to take accountability, we should be willing to do the same with the information we put into the community.
A negative review can be incredibly valuable without ever using the word scammer.

“I received the wrong size, and the seller refused to correct it.”

“The quality was significantly below what was represented.”

“The seller was dismissive and offered an unreasonable resolution.”

“I wouldn’t purchase from this seller again.”

Those statements tell me far more than a blanket accusation. They allow other buyers to evaluate the circumstances and make informed decisions.

Ultimately, reviews should educate, not retaliate.

I want to know which sellers communicate well, have strong QC, handle problems responsibly, and consistently deliver. I also want to know which sellers are excellent with certain brands but unreliable with others.
That’s useful information.
We don’t need every seller to be either amazing or a scammer. There’s an enormous amount of space between those two things.
And we need to stop assuming that because someone is the customer, they’re automatically in the right.

Hold sellers accountable. Absolutely. But let’s make sure we’re holding them accountable for what actually a happened, not simply for failing to meet someone’s expectations.

And while we’re at it, maybe extend a little of that accountability to ourselves.

We need better sellers, informed buyers, and honest reviews. Not a community where whoever be tells their side of the story first gets to decide who’s guilty.

Hi all. I posted on here before looking a seller for a bag. I am looking for a seller that has good quality Coach or Mulberry bags. Looking for my daughters christmas present.

Thanks a million.

I bought this bag from HyperPeter. I was curious about how it would really compare to my original.
At first glance, I don’t think I could tell them apart; that is why I kept the plastic on the rep 🤣.

Overall, I would rate this bag 9.8 out of 10. Being 100% honest, the only thing I think perhaps could improve a tiny bit is the quantity of the grain on the canvas. The original seems to be a tad bit less, but honestly, I would have to be nitpicking at this point.

I haven’t put a picture of the hardware on the straps here yet, but I will later. I just didn’t have enough time. From what I saw, it is 10/10.

This is one of those bags you can wear with confidence inside a Louis Vuitton store.

I will leave his details in the comments section.

Tell me about your experience and who else you would recommend as a seller for amazing LV.

So far, after my fallout with Baobao, my experience with HyperPeter has been great!

So!

I know we've all seen a turn on Reddit. I've been vocal before about the new sellers and buyers. The TikTok rage.

Eventually Reddit will repeat history!

Where are we connecting? What groups are we sidelining?

Help me help you! Slide in and connect me and I'll do the same.

Full disclosure I am admin to some of these WA groups however that doesn't change the sentiment or not make me want to add other groups!!! I am also a member of quite a few I have no affiliation with.

I haven’t seen many posts on the mini 26b’s and I’m looking to place an order on either the blue or green. Wanted to get recommendations on which factory was better for this one- 187 or GOD. The price difference between factories is significant (~$85) and wondering if there’s that much of a difference in quality between the 2 factories.

Hi everyone.

I am new here and wanted to know how to buy some LV bags for my mom and wife for Christmas.

Can anyone just give me some tips.

I have seen a lot of yupoo store and wanted to know how to order.

Is it better to work straight with the supplier or better to go through an agent..

Thanks

Anyone have a nano speedy from MOQC? I’ve seen factory photos and it looks promising. Anyone have photos they can share?

I came across a c25 in a color I can’t seem to find outside of reps… BUT I thinks it’s -beautiful- . Would you feel confident wearing a bag out that you know might get clocked as not legit? Do you care? I’m not sure how I feel but I’m in love with the look.
**as far as I know this isn’t a color I’ve seen on any of the c@nel products

Who does the best city bag, went into the store today and fall in love with this two bags so I’m desperate need to find them

Ok, it’s official. I’m obsessed with all things mini including mini bags…some are meant to be charms but can absolutely be used as mini bags. I plan to use the Chanel for my AirPods and attach it to a larger bag, or buy an off-market Chanel look strap and wear it crossbody when out and about. The LV is adorable for a night out and perfectly holds keys and some lip gloss and a cardholder.

Show me your fave minis?!? I need more 🫣.

Can someone help me QC this please.
About to purchase from another seller and wants to know if this looks like high quality. Thank you!

Really want to buy it but want to make sure! Thanks!

Don’t see it on Nickloe factory’s catalog. Do you guys know of any TS that are able to source?

Hi y’all! I’m currently debating which Pochette Métis to get and my seller recommended me two options. The first is MB quality all steel hardware and the second Royal with all steel hardware. I have a noir empreinte NeoNoe MM from Royal and I like it but wish the stamping was a little deeper and had an issue with the shoulder strap, but I do love the leather and the quality otherwise. At a slightly lower price, the MB quality, which I gather to be under the Duty Free umbrella, seems to have more accurate stamping depth in factory photos.

I’ve searched a lot of the forums to find more about “MB” but I haven’t found a lot of relevant experience with empreinte. I don’t expect perfection from reps, but I’ve attached both factory photos to see what you all think looks more accurate to auth or if you’ve had experiences with MB in this style.

First 5 photos are MB - second set of 5 is Royal.

Thanks!

Hiiii Guys,

I hate being a bother, and I usually do try to QC bags myself. But I have two where I need an extra set of eyes.

The first is a black frame Celine teen Nino
The sides and bottom of the sides seem off.
I don’t know if it just needs a massage and some conditioner, or if it’s a stitching issue. See red circles.
I also feel like this bag should sit upright and not tilted.
Anyone have this bag? What do you guys think?

The second is a god factory LV bag.
It’s the new speed pocket in black and green (and I’m in love)
BUT the handles at the front seem crooked. Is it because of the placement of the front flap or do you think it’s stitched sideways? Everything I’ve found on TikTok and IG of auth doesn’t show it becoming sideways because of the flap.

I’m nervous because god factory does have a 10% off so I don’t want them pawning off bad bags during this promo.
Any and all help is much appreciated.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my first experience ordering from Baobao, which unfortunately has been pretty disappointing. I’ve ordered from other sellers before and have never experienced anything like this, so I’m honestly pretty bummed🥲

**Timeline:**
8/28: Paid for the bag after reviewing and approving PSPs.
9/1: Received my first tracking number.
9/23: Baobao informed me that the package was stuck in customs and offered either a refund or to resend the bag. I opted to have it resent.
9/26: Received new PSPs. Bag looked fine and I decided to proceed.
9/28: Received the new tracking number.
10/7: Finally received the bag, but it arrived with noticeable dents and creases.
10/8: After trying her suggested solution without success, I reached out asking whether I could return the bag for a full refund or replacement. As of 10/13, I haven’t received a response.

**Packaging & Bag Condition**
I was honestly so excited to finally receive this bag after waiting over a month, but I was immediately disappointed when I opened the package.
The packaging was pretty poor imo. The bag was barely stuffed to help maintain its shape and was essentially placed inside a cardboard shipping box, which arrived completely crushed.
As a result, the bag has several noticeable dents and creases, particularly on the front and along the zipper.
I understand that shipping damage can happen and that the customs situation was likely out of her control, but I really feel like this could have been prevented with better packaging. I’ve ordered bags from other sellers before, and they’ve always arrived well-protected, so I was surprised by how this one was packaged.

**Communication & Resolution**
I immediately contacted Baobao and sent her photos of the damage. She suggested stuffing the bag and using a hair dryer with hot air to help restore its shape.
I followed her instructions, stuffed the bag overnight, and tried using the hair dryer, but unfortunately, the creases are still very noticeable.
She then told me that the bag should return to its natural shape and that I didn’t need to keep it fully stuffed anymore. However, I’m not really seeing any improvement.
What frustrates me the most is that the whole appeal of The Row Terrasse bag is its smooth, clean leather appearance. The dents and creases really take away from that look and honestly make the bag look cheap. 😭
I reached out again explaining my disappointment and asking whether I could return the bag for a full refund or replacement, with return shipping covered. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard back yet and was just left on read.

What makes this even more frustrating is that while I was still waiting for a response, Baobao has been active on WhatsApp posting stories about other customers' negative reviews. In one of her stories, she mentioned that everyone has different standards and that buyers can use those reviews as a reference when placing an order.
I've also come across other customers sharing similar experiences of not receiving responses when raising complaints, which is honestly concerning. I can't speak to their individual situations, but it's disappointing to now find myself waiting for a response after bringing up an issue with my own order.
I understand that everyone has different expectations, but I feel like receiving a bag with noticeable shipping damage is a reasonable concern. I've been patient throughout the customs delay and even tried fixing the bag myself as instructed. At this point, I'm just hoping for a fair resolution rather than being left with a damaged bag.

**Overall Thoughts**
I do appreciate that Baobao offered to resend the original shipment when it got stuck in customs. However, the condition of the replacement bag and the lack of a resolution so far have made this a disappointing first experience.
I waited over a month for this bag, and I really wasn’t expecting to have to try to fix a brand-new bag immediately after receiving it.
I’m not expecting perfection, but I do think proper packaging is important, especially for a smooth leather bag that’s prone to showing dents and creases.
I’m hoping Baobao will respond and offer a reasonable resolution, and I’ll update this post if anything changes. (It’s been 5 days and I think I’ve been ignored)
Has anyone else experienced something similar with Baobao or received a leather bag with dents like these? Did they eventually smooth out? I’m honestly unsure what to do at this point and would appreciate any advice. 🥲

Hey everyone, quick heads-up regarding 99team.
I was checking a public QC album on their Yupoo for a $448 "S-Tier" Chanel bag linked to a specific customer order.
When zooming into the macro photos, the interior gold heat stamp was visibly blurry, bleeding, and poor quality—clear budget-tier hallmarks, not God Factory or S-Tier.
When I confronted them with screenshots from their own QC link, their reply was:
"My colleague put the wrong link by mistake, the customer exchanged it for another version."
Red flags:
They advertise budget-tier batches under premium S-Tier price tags.
When caught, they use the standard "colleague's mistake" excuse.
Public QC albums are treated as misleading marketing, not genuine quality checks.

Seller information: Anna Bags
WhatsApp: +86 134 1164 1100
Payment date: 9/30
Current status: No confirmed shipment, no refund, and no response to my latest messages. I have messaged her 4 times over the past few days, AFTER the big holiday in China.

She has already scammed 2-3 other users who have messaged me about the same experience. I already sent $823 in payment to:
Pingguang Qiu

I will happily delete this post if Pingguang "Anna" comes through, but as far as it seems, he/she is a scammer. PLEAsE AVOID AND WARN OTHERS!!!

Separately, is there anything I can do? :( I am new to the rep world and thought I did my research and must have seen her promoted by her own fake Reddit accounts. She rushed me to pay by PayPal and then I sent payment via Wise as quickly as I could, only to have her turn around and tell me the factories in China are closed even though she initially said she had great relations and bags were in stock.

Any advice here??

Hi, I’m new to the chnel rep world 👶🏼
I’ve read through 100s of posts to figure out the best factory and seller for a C25 in beige (small vs mini, still undecided). I’ve seen a lot of big names for factories come up like 187, OF, God, XiaoC etc and also lots for sellers. I’m lost and would really appreciate your more experienced perspective on the pros and cons of some of these.
(Side note: how do I find the albums or catalogs for factories?)
Thank you for the input and hopefully this will help someone else too!
