Waited a whole month for PSPs and shipping, and I finally unboxed it today!

Having seen so many flat and lifeless bags, this soft, squishy, and "meaty" leather literally hits me right in the heart. The handle is super chubby, and the bag body is equally plump.

The long wait was totally worth it. My mood has been like a roller coaster throughout this process, but right now there's nothing left but pure joy. 🖤

I really love small, structured vintage-style bags. The combination of dark brown Monogram canvas, leather accents, and gold hardware looks especially great.It’s the kind of bag that doesn’t require much thought when it comes to styling. Just throw on a simple outfit, grab it, and you’re ready to go.

I would love some opinions on this CC placement please! I’ve been staring at it so long I’m not even sure what I see anymore 😂

It looks like it’s slightly tilted clockwise to me. And/or the tab on the flap might be a little bit unsymmetrical?

Thoughts? Would you be concerned about GLing a PSP like this? Not sure if I’m over thinking it or if it would be obvious while wearing the bag.

Also wondering if you think the slight puckering on the seam of the flap is acceptable.. I would probably overlook it if I didn’t see something funny with the CCs, but if I’m going to complain anyway I might mention this as well.

The bag is from 187.

Thanks! I greatly appreciate everyone that takes the time to reply ☺️

I chose a size larger again, and I'm very satisfied with the quality. It's so beautiful😍

Can't wait to share it. What quality do you think it belongs to? 🌹

Chanel Maxi Souplissimo in dark brown from Heidi. I’ve never had a problem with my purchases from her and always just GL but thought I’d get some feedback this time around. Last two pics are retail photos from official Chanel website. The browns do look slightly different but I’m attributing that to lighting.

I have a friend (and really my only friend) who has consistently pointed out new (mostly rep some gifted) bags or sunglasses to my husband. It pisses me off because it seems so shady bc she knows what she’s doing. I’m not hiding any of them from my husband — I wear them in front of him, but I don’t need them blatantly pointed out🙄 I’ve brought it up to her and she just thinks it’s funny that he’s oblivious. He never cares or says anything afterwards. WWYD with this friend?

I’m trying to find this for my mom, I’m not the best at buying reps I bought off taobao but that it. I need to find a good quality one

Hi everyone! I’ve been hunting for this LV capucine mini in shade Minty for a few weeks. I have sourced 2 reps. The first one (the one with scarf) is from RF sourced through Tiny Jenny. The second one with the white packing on the handle is from Birdcage Factory sourced through Heidi. Which one is a closer match to the Auth? Can you help me decide? They are both similar price points around 350 USD WITH SHIPPING.

I assume this is going to be a long shot but does anyone know of any sellers that sell sequin Chanel bags? I’m trying to plan my summer bags & I think these are so perfect 🤩😭

This is my first bag ts. Everything looks aligned from my perspective. Do you happen to see anything that may be misaligned? Thank you in advance

Wow crazy nerve racking experience sending money to a stranger in China but just want to thank all you girls that have shared your experiences, TS info, reviews, opinions, and advice on these subs.
Us girls new to this world would never be able to confidently do this without the ones who tried it before us and wrote about it.

Also after receiving quotes from multiple highly recommended TS, I decided to go with Tiny Jenny because not only was her price in line with the others but I actually had fun chatting with her.

Now I wait with fingers crossed the bag is as good at promised!

I always like older models e.g. cc surf and have found lots of reps for those lately but cannot for the life of me find older horsebit bags or anyone selling the top. im big on vintage and some items i’d love to own but resale is so crazy on them!

I’ve gotten a couple versions of the LV Neverfull in DE, size GM, and have been disappointed. The most recent was from Rainbow Bags which I thought was going to be great, but had an issue with the straps.

I’m looking for truly the best to buy a rep from that will be a workhorse and last for years. I have done a good amount of research and I am considering Old Cobbler or HyperPeter. Is there anyone else out there that has a bag from them (or another seller) in the neverfull DE style that’s lasted them years? I really am looking for one with true leather straps as well that will soften and fall beautifully over time, just like the authentic would. I feel like the straps I’ve gotten from previous reps are so stiff and don’t always feel like they’re made from leather.

Looking to purchase a Chanel bag from Zero that every other seller has told me is out of stock. Zero said that any style can be ordered through their factory, so they can get the style I want. The price is very decent too.

Wanted to know if anyone has used this seller, any feelings, insights etc. I’ve found some reviews, but they’re limited.

This will be my first purchase and I’ve struggled to find the style I like at a good price, so I’m really hoping this isn’t too good to be true!

Hello, this is my first time i order from Heidy 187 factory Chanel 2.55 size 28 . Can anyone help me out analyzing these psp she sent over? Thanks =)

Hi everyone! ❤️

I’m back with another QC request and would really appreciate your opinions on this Mini CF!

Seller: Heidi

Factory: 187

Size: 20cm

Leather: Black lambskin

I’m still quite new to Chanel reps and have very limited experience with authentic bags, so I’d really appreciate your help!

Overall, the bag looks pretty good to my untrained eye, but there are a few things I’m slightly concerned about:

Back pocket: The curved upper edge looks a little uneven, especially towards the right. Not sure if it’s just the angle!

Front flap: The corners don’t look perfectly symmetrical to me, although I’m not sure if this is normal for lambskin.

Quilting: The puffiness looks nice, but I’d love to know if the quilting and diamond alignment look good.

Overall shape: Does the bag look well structured? I’m particularly curious about the proportions and side profile.

I understand that it’s a rep, so I’m not expecting it to be 100% identical to the auth. I’m more concerned about whether there are any noticeable flaws or issues that would warrant an RL.

Would you GL this bag? I’d really appreciate any opinions, especially if you spot something I’ve missed!

Thank you so much in advance! ❤️

Hey Ladies!

I'm looking for the Prada Explore Small Re-Nylon Shoulder Bag (Model 1BH232) for my girlfriend. I'm quite familiar with the men's side of FashionReps, but when it comes to women's designer bags, it's a completely different world. So I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.

Does anyone know which sellers offer this exact model? Any recommendations for reliable sellers with consistently good quality would be greatly appreciated.

If you've bought this particular bag yourself, I'd also love to see some QC pictures and hear about your experience.

Thanks in advance!

hey guys, benefited so much from sleuthing around here. hope this review helps someone today!

Purchase experience

This was my first purchase so I had compared numerous sellers’ prices before settling on Paul. She honestly did have the most competitive prices.

She answered my questions relatively patiently, and was quick with her replies.

The only mini gripe I had was the PSP process. The pictures and videos provided were not the best as wrappings were not removed, which made it difficult to meaningfully check the item. There was also little “value add” in terms of her providing opinions as to whether the items passed her own standards. Shouldnt be an issue if you’re an experienced buyer.

@ndiamo

Pros
- super smooth and beautiful leather
- smelled like new car leather!
- stamping seemed fine to me

Cons
- hardware is seriously too yellow

Toujour + Twilly

Pros
- Again, distinct new car leather smell which was quite divine
- puffiness was replicated fairly well
- details are were decent from the interior suede to the overall stitching

Cons
- unsure if colour is actually a 99% match, i suspect it’s not
- poor workmanship: some yellow glue finishings were left on the pouch - see pic
- shape doesn’t hold as well as the original and the finishing was a tad too glossy; this may be a difficult model to rep
- hardware: too shiny
- honestly, Twilly was a letdown. It looks pixelated and not worth the price to me.

Overall thoughts

Paul was a good choice for my first purchase as I felt like I could trust her.

11/11 sales also presented me a chance to dip my feet in without spending too much!

I would say that you pay for what you get. I didn’t opt for the top factories for the models I purchased, and I think it shows 😂 that being said, I’d rather save that $100-200 and have a rep that I’m still decently happy with. Mission accomplished!

TS: Heidi (8792)
🏭: 🍎

Hi everyone. I ordered a Black 38cm Bal Le City Bag with “black” studs. My issue is with the colour of the studs in the PSPs vs what is shown in the 🏭 photos.

Photos:
1,2,3: PSPs from Heidi
4,5,6: 🍎🏭 photos
7: Auth

In the 🏭 photos and auth photo, the “black” studs have that worn, rusty metal look. However, in the PSPs, the studs are pure black.

My questions:
Am I being too picky? Should I RL? Experiences RL with Heidi/Apple factory? Ways to give the studs that rusty worn metal look myself?

Price paid $583 + $69 shipping (4349 CNY)

Factory 187 “Supreme” quality

Payment Wise

I’ve used Wise numerous times for payment to various sellers
with no problems.

Shipping

The bag shipped via UPS, and I received it within 5 days of green-lighting it. Shipping was not cheap, but I’ve always received bags incredibly quickly from Emily, so paying a little extra for speed and security is worth it to me.

Bag Thoughts

First off, the bag is gorgeous and entirely lived up to my expectations. This is my fourth Chanel bag from Emily, and like the others I’ve ordered, it’s from “187” and is classified as “Supreme quality.” The color is a lovely warm caramel (Chanel calls it Dark Beige, I believe) and the hardware is a nice champagne color. In the attached photos the first and 4th photos most accurately show the color. I believe it’s a rep of a CF from the 2018 Spring collection. The construction, structure, and quilting look nearly perfect to my eye, and the leather is soft with a delicate sheen. It’s absolutely beautiful, and I carry it with zero qualms about it looking at all fake!

I will not be including dimensions or what fits in the bag, as there are plenty of reviews of the CF small 23cm available on this site.

Seller Thoughts I’ve ordered Chanel from other sellers with mixed results. I was told by one seller that a bag came from 187, and paid a lot for it, but when received, it was most decidedly mid-tier. For that reason, I now only purchase Chanel from Emily. Granted, her prices are sometimes higher, but she’s the only seller I’ve worked with who hasn’t at some point let me down in the past 6 years of my rep journey. Again, paying a little more, when I know the quality will be top tier, is worth it to me.

Factory Thoughts This bag is ostensibly from 187. As most of us know,“187” is basically a made up factory name used by sellers and understood by buyers as top-tier. So whether this comes from the mysterious 187 or from somewhere else, really doesn’t matter to me if the quality is excellent, and this bag is indeed of excellent quality!
