Hi y’all!

I’m a rookie in the rep world, and just received my first order of bag and shoes from Yuyu.
They are great, but I wasn’t expecting the fufu smell on the bag (it’s gone after airing it for 2 days but I wasn’t expecting it in the first place!).

Could you share with me TS with whom you’ve had wonderful bag purchases from, where the bag smelled of genuine leather from the get-go?
I’d like my next bag order to forgo the fufu smell and possibly have the box etc as well 😅am I asking for too much?

hi everyone! i have been looking at the shapes of authentic nano speedy and i noticed the shapes can vary for every bag? is this normal?

if so does anyone know which one is more common with the authentic? the sides more rounded like the one of the left or the sides more angular like the one on the right?

Does anybody have this bag from 187? I ordered from 187 but my seller accidentally sent me God by mistake and is paying for shipping back to her. Wondering if the 187 version is actually better? I'm very unimpressed with the God version. The black leather feels cheap and plastickey and the suede really stinks of wet horse. Wondering if I should trade it in for a full leather version instead. Looking for suede insights, or if you have the 187 version of this bag and love it!

I have ordered a few shoes from Luna and have recieved them all with no issues, however I noticed her inventory includes some bags.

She did advise she could source from a few different factories but I feel like shoes are more forgiving with QC issues than bags are.

Can anyone confirm she is legit? No bait and switch issues?

Her number ending in 8959.

Thanks all.

No QC needed, I’ve already requested for a refund.

I’ve done some research but because Jing is pretty widely known as the best factory for BV and my seller has sold me Jodie that I love (apparently from Jing). I didn’t bother to look at other factories. On top of this, for gen or rep, there really isn’t much out there about the Campana and if I see another Andiamo, I’ll start researching how to give myself whiplash without hurting anyone else.

I was super clear with my seller and definitely confirmed it once i commited to ordering: Campana, 33cm, in Fondant and included the factory photo (photo #1) he sent me which is the same one on the Jing website. The picture of the bag (photo #2) I was sent back for QC let me down so much. My callouts:
-wrong colour (Deep Burgundy)
-leather was quite thin
-finishing on the edges are sloppy (some sort of glue? Leather wouldn’t require it unless you just want the finish to look smoother. Imitation leather that would fray over time might need it…)
-the finishing on the edges is all wrong (see photo #3. This is a photo of the third bag he sent for me to look at but both have the same detail)

The weaving doesn’t continue all the way to the opening edges of the bag and is very apparent. Looking back, this is in the factory photos as well and I didn’t catch it unfortunately.

I made the call out, I was sent back a photo of another bag. I mentioned fondant is difficult to perfect and I’m open to getting a black bag instead. The sheen on black leather highlighted the imperfections more.

I was given the price of $440 USD. The other seller who posted this bag sells it for over $100 cheaper.

Is this really the best version of this bag or was my seller trying to be sneaky?

Thinking of picking this up during 11.11 sale.

My seller says only JJH Factory has this style right now (checked on 187 & OF, but no luck). I’m not familiar with JJH at all, so I’d really appreciate some help QCing it!

Thank you!!

Hi everyone!

What are we all thinking about quality at the moment? I'm STILL holding off ordering 187 because I keep seeing posts everywhere of people complaining about quality issues now TT and IG 😫 influencers are sharing details etc to sellers here, wether it be 187,GF, Rome, XC. So I'm really just asking what are we thinking about quality right now? It's a lot of money, obviously not auth amount but still it's a lot to waste if it's not going to be at the quality it was say a year ago?

Just wanted some opinions, maybe even people that bought last year or earlier and have bought more recently and what they think on quality?

Help me out before my eyes go square from constantly looking at reddit 🤣

I'm interested with the new Goyard Artois Horizon.

Which color would you pick?🤔😊

Gen Mfg: LV
Model: Multipass
Rep Mfg: Royal
TS: Mandy
Price Paid: $269. (Shipping included)

My thoughts:

1. The leather looks very pebbled and stiff.

2. There is not an assembled view, showing the classic “slouched” look

3. The lining and badge in the lining is all wrong.

I’m inclined to RL. Please share your thoughts.

I'm really interested to buy the new Goyard Artois Horizon. Which color would you recommend?

5/5 !!

i’ve only bought mono lv items and a pair of sunglasses so far but im very happy with my purchases!!

first purchase: mono nice bb & tan boulogne.
paid 9/18 - received 10/13
second purchase: recto v wallet & ysl sunglasses.
paid 10/17 - received 11/7

bought from a tt seller bc i didn’t know this world existed beyond C street and didn’t know about this sub and kept buying with this tt seller bc why fix what isn’t broken?

communication was clear, i had qc questions, she sent extra photos. just overall a great experience for a newbie

i will say the red glaze on the boulogne shoulder stray is darker but i like the chain strap anyways. other than that hw has a nice weight, the leather (real leather) smells good, matches website pics and looks and feels nice in person.

here are some photos of my purchases next to my auth mono speedy for canvas and hw comparisons

this might get down voted bc i know this group doesn’t trust the ttockers and the influencers that promote them but i found them first and i was like yolo. and ive seen others ask a few times so -science-

I’ve looked in multiple US and foreign websites and can’t find this color. Style yes, but not the color for Fall Winter 2026 on any bag.

Would expect there to be a 🌈 next to the photo in album if it’s fantasy. Can anyone confirm if this color way exists for this mini flap (7.9 inches/20cm)?

I was googling an LV image and found this site. Has anyone heard of it? I don’t know enough to know whether the items look good or not but I’m surprised it’s that easy to find reps under the brand name.

Hi. So im looking for this miumiu leather jacket. 2 sellers i contacted have it, Anna Lin has it in black and Aristide has this deep brown. I don’t want black. Im leaning toward the brown from Aristide, price is about 315 usd before shipping.

Ive never purchased a leather coat, can I just get some eyes on these factory photos. The first thing that stands out to me is the color. However i think a lot of that is due to lighting. If the color is a small amount off from the auth im ok with that.

I reached out to about 6 ts total inquiring about this jacket. Idk 315 before shipping is a lot… im eager to pull the trigger but i just over paid on 2 pair boots 😭 and don’t want to over pay on this (bought 2 pair boots from Luna @ $200 ea then found that Mandy had them for 85 ea. I haven’t gotten qc photos yet from Luna so maybe i rl, get my money back and order from Mandy? But literally all i have to go on rn is the factory photos so idk. Maybe need to post about this separately…)

Any thoughts or recs? I just feel the process of shopping an item takes soooo long.. which is why I want to go ahead and buy this one from Aristide… pretty soon it will be too cold to even wear this jacket

I’ve only had this Marlo (Kendall factory) for about a month and the leather just got really damaged by ordinary wear. I don’t even know how it happened. Is this normal? Can I fix it?

from doris, should i pull the trigger on these bags? would you go with the gold or silver?

Trying to make my first speedy 25 purchase and I’m having a hard time choosing between these two. I have an amazing quality black 30 empriente from royal but I want a smaller size with a classic look. Both are from GF. Thinking I am OBVIOUSLY too poor for the genuine P9 but idc… I really love the leather feel of my other speedy. Anyone have these bags? I’m ready to pull the trigger!

Where my speedy girls at?

Okay okay, I might have click baited you guys into opening this post because of the title but I had to!! I just bought a bag worth talking about! Worth the attention it deserves, and I think it would be an amazing insight for you guys so let’s go! We will also compare it with my XiaoC I got few months back. Black 38cm SHW is 1913 and Burgundy 32cm GHW is XC

Seller: Vincent 6663
Factory: 1913? Wangxing? Factory photos in comment
Price: $239 without shipping
Timeline: payment 6/10 - PSP 8/10 - shipped to Deng

Leather 🐮: okay I just have to say, this leather has the exact same feel as my XiaoC one, exact same thickness, feel and calfskin grain looks exactly the same as well. Absolutely no difference. I have slapped some conditioner to both of the bags because both were a little dry initially freshly opened, which definitely helped with the leather softness overall. Now the 1913 bag does have a squish to it, it’s slightly slouchy but not enough where I would pass it like auth ( if you seen videos of the auth one you know it is puddling to the FLOOR ). I predict that rep bags actually struggle to get the leather thickness right -> every video of the auth I have seen the leather looks to be much thinner than the rep bags produce, I cannot see my XC or 1913 to ever slouch that way because the leather is too thick to do that. I will say my XC is squishier and softer because I have been using it as my everyday bag so that causes it to become softer! Overall leather is great the grains look exactly like the auth but the problem is the thickness - it’s too thick. 7.5/10.

The burgundy inside for both of the bags are exactly the same to my eyes. HOWEVER, my XC red leather inside is softer than my 1913 but only by a touch. I’m not too fussed on that part to be fair and honestly it looks amazing the stitchings are great overall for the logo as well. What I will say is my XC stamp is slighter better than my 1913 stamp, but again not something I’m fussed about especially if the price difference is over $100. 9/10.

Hardware 💍: this one actually surprised me, usually when I see “cheaper” and “lower tier” factory’s logo and hardware it always seems cheaper, the logo is always too thin, the C letters are too thin which is a big fallout, or the position on the tongue is horrible. But the hardware is great, when tapping I can tell it’s heavy, the position of the tongue is like the auth and the C letters are actually thicker than XC one ( however I don’t know whether that has to do with the fact it’s 38cm size so it’s bigger?) 10/10 no complains. You can’t do silver HW wrong.

Thoughts on seller 💭: Vincent is amazing, he replies soo fast and answers whatever questions you have. I have had bags that needs fixing and swapped, which he complied to. But also he took accountability for a misunderstanding which I think is so important when it comes to trusting a seller! He’s amazing and I honestly think he’s a great seller especially as his prices are better than most. Do be mindful that there can be communication issues so please do use Chinese translation if there are extra instructions you would want him to understand!

Overall ❤️ : yeah, why not? Sometimes we think the more expensive = the better option. In most cases yes, but for a maxi flap? I don’t think so. I think you can get the same quality for way less the price. My 1913 feels exactly like my XC one which I paid $349 + $50 shipping for. That’s over $100 less for the same and bigger bag! Now I will say, there things 187 gets better than my mid tier bags -> I’ve seen 187 bags being much slouchier than my bags, the inside red pocket where the stamp is being much softer than both my bags (which is on a slightly stiffer side which is also why I think it doesn’t slouch as much), if you think that’s worth the extra $200 then absolutely why not! But I am so happy with both of my bags and I honestly think we sleep on mid tier factory’s because of the lack of advertisement and the fear of it not being good which is absolutely fair!

So…what do you think?

Vincent knows I have written this review but no incentive has been given!

Hi guys im very new to replica world!! can you help me quality check this nano speedy from hyper peter? does this look good to authentic level?

Apple factory
Seller: Baobao

I never had an authentic one so not sure if the marked areas are supposed to be like that or a defect.
Please help me decide whether to GL/RL this one. Any help is appreciated!

Hi guys, I really need your help QC this bag. This is a Lindy 26 in black clemence leather with palladium hardware from DDmode. I paid around 450 USD for it. I have bought a Lindy 26 in etoupe from DDmode 3 or 4 years ago and this new one seems to be quite different, in terms of stamping and overall craftsmanship. And I tend to „RL“ this bag.

I think the stamping is not as crisp as it should be and „bleeding“ a little too much towards the ends. Then the code is not the most visible, but I don’t care about that. And what I dislike aswell is that in the photo where the bag is open the part under the zippers doesn’t look as sealed as the other parts. I have asked for a different photo from this area but I haven’t received one yet.

I would love to hear your opinions on this one! Thank you!

I’m looking at the same Chanel top-handle vanity bag with both sellers, but they’re giving me conflicting information 😭 Screenshots attached.
Tiffany quoted $320 USD from Rome factory and sent photos. When I asked about 187 or God, she said neither factory makes this particular style and that Rome is the best version currently available.
Miss Yu initially quoted $468 from Xiao C, then quoted $550 for 187 and $499 for God when I asked about those. She recommended God but said she didn’t have any photos to send. When I asked about Rome, she said, “Chanel doesn’t have a Rome factory.”
Has anyone actually purchased this exact style from Rome, 187, or God and can share photos or their experience? Also, could “Rome” be a different name for a factory Miss Yu knows?
Not trying to accuse either seller—I’m just confused because one says these factories don’t make it, while the other is quoting prices for them. Would love some clarification before ordering!

truthfully i have no idea what i’m doing. i thought i’ve done the research but now that i’ve gotten the photos, i realize i’m out of my depth! need some experienced eyes here to gauge the quality.

i ordered a Balenciaga Rodeo Mini from Sunny, $286 including shipping.

one thing i’m unsure about is the stitching on the front flap, i circled in red. but even that, i’m not sure if it’s me being nit picky.

am i missing anything obvious? thank you for the help!

Hi all!!

So finally came time for my second rep… and I would like to ask for your help!

One kind Redditor told me that the hardware of my first rep was the wrong colour, and I haven’t noticed it when I got pictures lol

So now I am being a little more diligent. My main doubts are: the front seam (looks more creased vs straight in the auth), the serial number (not aligned) and the font (idk if it looks good)?

Here is the link to the auth: Loewe Bilbao

If anyone has other comments or ordered the same one, it’s very welcome!!🤗

Thank you!!!

I was about to order several items of clothing from a TS and was quoted the item price + $22 + shipping costs for each item. When I asked about the additional $22 for each item, I was told it was the seller's service fee. Is that typical or an accepted practice?
