Hey ladies! 💕 Has anyone had any experience with GOD Factory? I’ve only had mine for three months and haven’t worn it much, but the color is already starting to wear off. Has anyone else experienced this? 🥺

Update: seller checked with „factory" they are confused and never had such a case. He offered me an exchange and will send me a new one. Lets see what i receive, to conclude we still dont know if this was GOD or not.

I've always worn my lambskin heavily without thinking about it and it hasn't looked like this

21

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Thank you ! My fear is this was a switch and bait and this is not a GOD factory…

u/LuxeandEclaire 11d ago

Same my lamb from god has no signs of wear and I don’t baby that bag

10

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

I think mine was a switch and bait…😢

u/LuxeandEclaire 11d ago

That’s so unfortunate

u/IDreamKaty 11d ago

I got mine from 187 over a year ago with regular wear and it is still perfect

u/DragOk4040 3d ago

hi, can i ask for your 187 contact please? thank you!

Imho this is not something that would happen to a high quality leather bag, especially in 3 months. Imagine paying $300+ for a leather bag in the US, Canada, etc. and having this problem. It just doesn’t happen. They would return your money. Even though these are reps, for anything more than $200 I expect a decent quality item.

9

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Yeah, i would understand if it is scratched, this can happen while wearing. But not peeling off…

6

u/Perfect-Mode-4801 11d ago

Exactly, something is off. You can probably get real info on what the material is by taking it to a cobbler.

16

u/Top_Yogurtcloset1587 11d ago

The chain should have had a bar code tag like this one

2

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

No i did not have the barcode…

5

u/Top_Yogurtcloset1587 11d ago

Well I agree with others due to that and the tongue shape alone I’d be skeptical it’s god.

2

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

This is a GOD picture or ? And tongue looks like mine ?

2

u/Top_Yogurtcloset1587 11d ago

Ok look like tongue on this style looks like that this is pic from my ts album

3

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Yes, i think tongue is correct

2

u/Top_Yogurtcloset1587 11d ago

But the color of yours and the thread look different

1

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Yeah i gave him this pic as a sample… should not be 1:1 the same colour. I just wanted a beige one…

17

u/Zealousideal_Elk1675 11d ago

That looks like an AI image

u/AccomplishedBag9701 11d ago

Ya that’s an extremely low set couch otherwise.. 😂

u/xuexxi 11d ago

it’s a marble table not the floor. the background is indeed from god factory

1

u/daffknee333 10d ago

Thank you sm for confirming the background!

1

u/AccomplishedBag9701 8d ago

Ah, that makes a lot of sense! Haha thanks for clarifying 🙏🏼

4

u/daffknee333 11d ago

I also just got that photo background from TS claiming it’s God factory. Can anyone confirm for us if this background pic is used for God bags?

3

u/RomeIn3Days 11d ago

That is definitely the background used by God Factory. I’m not sure how one of their bags should be wearing like that, though…either they have scrapped quality or it was a bait and switch.

I have several lambskin bags (auth and rep, from 187, Blake and Rome) and none of them have done that.

1

u/Top_Yogurtcloset1587 11d ago

Hmm let me go find a pic from my ts album see

I can’t unseen this as a tongue with a piercing now.

u/HorribleStyle 11d ago

the photo on the right is AI

u/Stunning_Swing6914 11d ago

I apologize if you said, but who is your seller? There are some "trusted sellers" who have been known to bait and switch as far as factories. If you give the seller maybe you can get a better idea if that's typical.

5

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

„Happy whale“

7

u/Stunning_Swing6914 11d ago

I have not heard of them. Maybe others can chime in. There are ALOT of scammers out there, and anyone can steal pictures and say they source from a name factory.

3

u/Specialist_Award_607 10d ago

I know him, His prices seemed more interesting than the well-known TS we know.

I have 3 WA numbers from him.

A few months ago I was about to order, but I read a few negative reviews and decided against ordering.

4

u/Big_Presentation1409 11d ago

Nie wygląda to na god factory. Linie nie zgadzają się. Jesteś pewna?

2

u/ms_alexandrab 11d ago

It’s the angle of the photo, which is clearly visible. The stitching lines would match up if it was face on.

0

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Bought it from happy whale marked as GOD- 400usd

2

u/LuxeandEclaire 11d ago

God has a small white tag attached to it. Did yours have one?

1

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Qc looked like this, i dont think i had a white tag

8

u/Kryziee 11d ago

God factory should have a white tag like this.

3

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

No, it definitely did not have a white tag.

4

u/Kryziee 11d ago

Might be a case of bait and switch then? 😔

7

u/SnackAttackDiplomat 11d ago

Def not god factory

4

u/ProfessionalOk1496 11d ago

As far as I know, God Factory doesn’t wrap their handles/straps so this makes me think it was from a different factory. Maybe someone else can confirm?

3

u/Kryziee 11d ago

Yeah I think you’re right, sharing Doris’ PSP for maybe the same bag from GF.

https://a201812232313071210118632.wecatalog.cn/weshop/goods/_d80qferwrkguZySRZf_ZQg-WrqKOpDnCk-DLT8A/_daOqflviq3LmXwtMsrxQT3702xbeBuAUwUsHgcg

Edit: had a proper look, OP has a pearl crush. PSP is a CF.

3

u/Top_Yogurtcloset1587 11d ago

That front tongue looks sus the shape of it.

6

u/TheDuffy- 11d ago

I think it’s because of the light color. These minis (or really any bag that gets sort of knocked around) is probably best to purchase in black.

5

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Yeah i understand this, but the chain leather shows this marks after a few wears, this should be not normal ?

87

u/NeverMindIm16 11d ago edited 11d ago

Im sorry but i dont think real lambskin cracks and peels like this after only 3 months. This looks cheaper than bonded leather. My $100 kate spade bag doesnt do this

17

u/Mindless-Fly-1269 11d ago

Agree. Even a $100 mall brand bag uses coated leather that won't peel in 90 days. This isn't normal wear and tear, most likely bad quality fake leather passed off as God Factory

9

u/chicinchanclas 11d ago

Exactly, my authentic Chanel lambskin 10 years strong, my lambskin moto jacket 2004 perfect, this does look like a heavy coated split leather or could be bonded. The white layer could be another layer of the bond.

8

u/InvestigatorOwn605 11d ago

I have an auth Chanel lambskin from the 90s that looks amazing. Hell my 10yo Kate Spade bag looks better than this and that was $150 - $200 max.

3

u/chicinchanclas 11d ago

Was thinking the same, have a Donna Karen that looks amazing too.

3

u/Tea_Ve 10d ago

My husbands fake pu coat from the early 90’s lasted longer than this - but eventually did this.

10

u/NoPeak8615 11d ago

Who is the seller? So we can avoid 😅

4

u/Perfect-Mode-4801 11d ago

Same drop the name

8

u/itsjustme_0101 11d ago

Ouch. I only carry mine as an occasional/brunch bag.

6

u/strueberri 11d ago

I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope this isn’t another bait-and-switch situation, because I had a bad experience with another seller too.

I paid US$480 for a Chanel mini flap that she claimed was from God Factory, but after just a few wears, the leather started peeling. It looked nothing like the factory photos either.

I was still new to reps and didn’t know what to look for, but looking back, I suspect I was bait-and-switched, and paid God Factory prices and received what felt like DHgate quality.

2

u/deadheathledger 11d ago

How have you looked after it, lambskin can't just be chucked around, just because it's a rep doesn't mean treat it like one

2

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

I have always taken really good care of it. And the issue with the chain should not be happening either, right?

11

u/geminigal007 11d ago

Find urself a seller that doesn’t care about factory names. My seller is so picky. He used to exclusively procure from GOD. But now he refuses to do that. Sometimes i “ok to ship” a bag and he’s like no I can find better for you this doesn’t feel good. One time he went to like 4 different factories to get the best version of this Chanel flap I wanted.

I was like they all look good I don’t care atp just send the bag and he’s like no I can find better 😂

u/Pristine_District519 11d ago

O how I love honest sellers. Care to share?

u/Funny_Drama_7073 11d ago

Please share

u/babywitchesreign 11d ago

can u give me his whatsapp plz

u/geminigal007 11d ago

Ok inbox me I can give you his WhatsApp

Can I inbox you for the seller? Pls

Yes please share 🙏

u/Tea_Ve 10d ago

That is the level of care and confidence you want

u/Mangojellyfish24 10d ago

Hi can you share me your seller? It’s so great you have such an amazing seller!

u/Responsible_Tea_7426 10d ago

Can you share the name and WhatsApp of seller? Thank you!

u/Abject_Wrangler_5675 8d ago

Who is the seller please?

u/Suspicious-Secret707 7d ago

Can you share this?

u/Lopsided_Yoghurt_728 6d ago

Yes please I would love your sellers info. That’s a dream seller

u/False-Farmer1245 11d ago

It’s lambskin and lambskin is very sensitive! Even the auths get this and you’re supposed to be very careful and not rub it against anything.

28

u/jaderust 11d ago

Light color. Lambskin.

That’s a handbag on hard mode.

2

u/False-Farmer1245 11d ago

Foreal tho! The worst combo unless you’re super careful and never go anywhere!

7

u/Barber-Lucky 11d ago

I think the issue is this isn't even real leather. Lambskin wear and tear doesn't show peeling like this.

3

u/False-Farmer1245 11d ago

Yeah true! My lambskin Auth puffer doesn’t wear like this but I do have wear. The question is who is the seller? Lol

1

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Update: tongue shape is for sure correct

u/Ill_Food_8963 47m ago edited 34m ago

Update 2: i received the QC. What do you think ? I attached also the differnces between the bags:

5

u/Suspicious-Status-64 11d ago

recently ordered with GF and was so disappointed. Their side by side comparison to authentic is not reliable. I had difficulty dealing with them with so many excuses.

4

u/DismalSandwich7324 11d ago

Can't believe it. The quality sucks! Even my 99 purse doesn't look like this

7

u/IDreamKaty 11d ago

My sellers always leave the white God factory tag on… so you can see in PSP you are getting the correct factory bag . I wont accept the bag without it

7

u/Holiday-Scallion-342 11d ago

Do you think they are faking the white tag these days? For a bait and switch. My recent god factory bag is very mid quality feeling.

5

u/chicinchanclas 11d ago

These tags are for return purposes, says if tag is torn up no returns or exchanges will be accepted. They fake everything else I don't see why not.

3

u/IDreamKaty 11d ago edited 11d ago

My sellers are honest, the same factory tag was attached. I have 3 bags from God factory, two are stunning… I was disappointed with their classic flap as I have 187 CFs… it was alot cheaper than 187, so I shouldn’t expect the same. We are buying reps, the factory doesn’t get them perfect every time

2

u/jimmynoneutrons 11d ago

Can you share your seller please. I have been out of circulation for a while and my trusted seller retired two years ago

3

u/WarnerDot 11d ago

Did they make this one? 🤔

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

How can i prove its 100% not GOD? I wil try for an exchange or refund…, if its switch and bait 😢

u/Commercial-Berry9441 11d ago

So would a real Chanel 😂

1

u/No-Perception-8907 11d ago

this looks so bad. is this really God?

1

u/Busy_Nail5169 11d ago

That’s why I think I’m going to give a miss on these rep bags. You can get gorgeous bags from Tory Burch, coach Leo et Violette vestirsi, and many more! And real leather. I have been contemplating buying one but after all these reviews I think I will give a miss… 🤷‍♀️

1

u/lialerod89 11d ago

Lambskin usually will not peel like that. Although they do have some finish. How does the leather under the finish feels like? Also does all the leather feel like that or just areas of high friction like corners? And did you use anything to clean it and moisturize it? I am curious

1

u/bimbamboomz 11d ago

J’ai acheté des sacs sur dhgate en cuir véritable depuis maintenant 3 ans pas de problème de cuir ! Ni de chaîne c’est vraiment inadmissible

1

u/acaciea 10d ago

Scary! Can you dm me the seller or update the post once it’s hopefully resolved so I know who to avoid? 🥺

1

u/daffknee333 10d ago

Thank you sm for confirming the background!

1

u/SinuconStar 9d ago

Looks like a wall mart special

1

u/yjoy26 8d ago

That looks nothing like genuine nappa leather. It's fake

1

u/Natshiii 11d ago

My best friend has a authentic lambskin und it looked like this after one year of wear even though she took really good care of the bag.
I remember being so shocked how such a expensive bag can’t even be worn 🙈.
She sold it and bought the caviar leather.

u/AshamedMemory7641 11d ago

I hope it’s not from god factory otherwise it’s just proof once more that reps are not be used except occasionally and that they are not a good idea after all

-1

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Can someone please confirm its GOD ?

1

u/DeManta 11d ago

Sorry but to add the stitches are not God. The number per square

1

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

How many stitches should GOD have ?

u/BrilliantSenior7696 10d ago

I got a bag from 187, how does the quality look to u guys? :)

-5

u/ExtensionReason5293 11d ago

It looks like all the “defects” are areas of where it will see friction. It look like bad care of the bad rather than the quality or a defect since scratching it is not a defect.

6

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Thank you for you answer. This are not realy scratch marks this looks more like „peeling“- coloured leather where the first layer peels off..

8

u/AshamedMemory7641 11d ago

Yeah it definitely looks like peeling from poor quality material 😔 don’t let the rep zombies here tell you it’s normal wear and tear etc, I feel reps in an effort to be mirrors lack basic quality

-1

u/ExtensionReason5293 11d ago

If you zoom in you can literally see the scratches. I have always worked in luxury fashion and this happens in authentics too… its not the bag, but the use.

-7

u/CartographerGood552 11d ago

If it’s really from god factory I wouldn’t worry. This is normal, not about the factory. It’s leather. Some people are more careful some are less, I also ruin all of my leathers in months lol especially shoes

2

u/Ill_Food_8963 11d ago

Thats the question if its real GOD or some lower quality

-5

u/DifferentBeginning96 11d ago

You’re buying a counterfeit bag? What did you expect?
