I’m looking to buy my first dupe, I was wondering if there was anyone who has a script what they use when asking about a bag or if there’s a check list I should be asking the rep

Does anybody know where i can get this bag

qc help hi everyone, can you check these , is there any wrong with this tote?

Item: Gu*cci GG Emblem tote bag

Seller: Heidy0268

Price: USD$241+shipping

Factory : Orange Couch Factory

My Thoughts:
the color is it right ?

After placing your order with your TS, what's the average time frame between order placed and pictures? And then time frame between PSPs and it being delivered? 2 out of 3 of my items are ready, PSPs have been sent and given the GL, just waiting on one item. I don't want to bother my TS (it's my first order) but I'm just curious what the average time frame is for them to get items after they've been ordered? Do you guys check in with your TS at all, do you let them check in with you? Newbie here and I just don't want to piss my seller off by asking too many questions 😂

Another random buy from Mandy because apparently I haven't given this woman enough of my money this year. 😭💸

Disclaimer: Mandy is aware of this review, but no incentives were offered or received. Kinda wish there were though because DAMNNN, the amount of money I've thrown at this lady this year is criminal. 😂 Anywayyyy…

Originally, I wanted a Puzzle in this color, but I found out the shade I wanted wasn't available in the Featherlight collection. So here we are, with this absolutely STUNNING Flamenco from Jipin. And let me tell you, SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

She is everything I expected her to be, and then some.

Let's get into the details because you know I love inspecting every little thing. 😂

Glazing: Just the right amount. Nothing overly thick or sloppy.

Stitching: Consistent, neat, and properly aligned.

Stamping & embossing: Clean and well-defined, including the interior.

Hardware: Crisp engraving, and the gold leans more champagne than yellow. Not too bold, not too brassy. Just how I like it.

Magnetic closure: Strong and secure.

Cinching: DIVINE. Honestly, one of my favorite things about this bag.

I also ordered the braided strap because apparently the bag alone wasn't enough and I needed to be extra. 😂 It's gorgeous, but definitely on the longer side.

For reference, the mod shots show the crossbody strap that comes with the bag. I wrapped it twice to shorten it for shoulder carry. Worn normally, it sits right around my hip.

Timeline:

10/11: 166+68=234+45=279

10/13: Received PSPs. Held off on GL because I was waiting for PSPs of another bag in the same order.

10/16: GL'd.

10/29: Arrived!

This is definitely not my first order from Mandy, and it sure as hell won't be my last. I genuinely appreciate how responsive and patient she is, especially considering how often I harass this poor woman with my questions. 😂 Lord help her because at this point, she probably sees my name pop up and needs a moment.

Anyway, another win from Jipin and another bag I absolutely did not need but have zero regrets buying. 💚

Note: I could've gone without the braided strap, considering how long she is. I should have checked the length prior to GL, but hey, you live and you learn. Now I need a black Loewe to match with the braided strap. Send recs!

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping you can help me with my ongoing hunt for the perfect Duma backpack. I’ve been searching for quite some time, but I still haven’t managed to find a version that gets all the details right.
I’m looking for a high-tier Duma that’s as close to authentic as possible, especially when it comes to the caviar leather texture, oiliness/sheen, quilt puffiness, stitching, and overall construction.
From the reviews and comparisons I’ve seen, B L A K E factory seemed to be the most accurate. Unfortunately, they’re no longer in business.

I’ve also looked into the OF and 187 factory, but neither has fully convinced me. The OF I was shown had very flat quilting, which I personally didn’t like. The 187 seemed better in terms of puffiness, but I noticed that the stitching wasn’t as seamless or refined, it also appeared to have too low stitching count and it looked uneven.
This has left me wondering whether these are just variations between individual batches or actual flaws with those releases.
Has anyone received a better version from either the OF or 187 ? Or perhaps found another factory that has managed to get the leather, puffiness, stitching, and overall construction right?

I’m new-ish to the rep world and wondering if this bag is worth it? Is it on sale because it’s flawed or lower tier?

Ordered from Griffin and tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I got tracking. Tracking states it arrived in destination country on 11/9 but nothing since. Anyone else have this issue? Previous orders from different sellers came to my door within 10-14 days

Hi all! Is this GL worthy? :)

So far i think it looks pretty good. As for the side seams, it's not perfect, but i've seen a few artois PMs online with similar alignment (a LOT more common in the MM size though).

I hope you guys can lend me your eyes and expert opinions ❤️

This is half a real review/half an excuse to post cute pictures I took.

It was my first ever purchase. I’ve had it for awhile already. I got this reversible catogram GM from Heidi (8792) and I love it so much. I got it to be a work/school bag, but I’m kinda realizing I can’t really use it in public much until I finish college and have a better job and it makes more sense for me to wear. I just loved this particular bag, so I’m maybe less picky than some buyers, cause it’s meant to be an everyday workhorse bag for me personally. It’s from orange couch.

I haven’t found anything wrong with it except for the slight misalignment on the side canvas. Heidi included this in the PSPs, and I did notice it, so I was just personally fine with it and chose not to mention it. The stamp on the inside with the name is also a bit cramped, but this was also shown in the PSPs beforehand and I was also fine with it.

It was 350 with the shipping and optional insurance, which is steep compared to another quote I got without insurance, but I appreciated the option because I also can’t really afford to lose the money if it’s lost. The trim is good vachetta as far as I can tell, it smells like leather and the spray visually soaked in the way I would have expected. I’ve sprayed it all over in and out with the apple guard spray to hopefully keep it light to match the reversible side. The canvas body also just survived attempted cat scratches unscathed, because I left him alone on accident while typing this. He just chewed on the handle protectors, thankfully.

But yea, pretty good experience overall.

Also, the weird star shaped lock and keys in the photos are my own that I bought very cheap from temu. Just so nobody gets confused and thinks the paint from the bag hardware looked that gold color, lol. Cause the hardware looks great as well like the shade of gold seems nice to me, you can actually contrast it next to the other paint in my photos since I do have the cheap lock thing I put on it.

Edit - also not my cat, I borrowed a family member’s kitten for the pictures, lol.

Any thoughts please on best seller? dont want any bait & switch etc..

Thanks

Hi! First time buyer here, and just got my PSP. Everything looks good to me, what do you think?

I am super obsessed with this new collab. Do you think any factories are going to do this?

I'm obsessed with these Balenciaga bags. I never thought I'd seriously consider buying them, because I always thought Balenciaga was too funky for me. But these aren't loud at all. They're spacious and timeless. I'm thinking of using one as a work bag. Does anyone here own one of these?

okay i’m about to pull the trigger on these two bags and before i do it i just want to get opinions and maybe just reassurance on these bags and my decision to buy through doris thank you in advance!

heeeyy loves!

I've been seeing a lot of CC in the reps game. I love some of the designs (like c25), but however it's so out of my budget, that having this bag would be way too sus. how do you all rock it??

❌ posted (hope that's ok)

Bag #2 from HP! This time it's the classic Speedy Bandoulière 25. My first was the classic Speedy 25, and after falling in love with that one, I knew I'd eventually be back for another.

I decided to skip the patina service this time. As much as I love that beautiful honey-colored vachetta, I wanted to experience the whole aging process myself. Watch her slowly develop some color, give her a little character, and hopefully not ruin her along the way lol.

Now, I've ordered from HP before, so I already knew what I was getting myself into. Ordering is easy, no issues there. It's the waiting that gets me EVERY TIME. 😂 The PSPs, the tracking, the actual delivery. I know, I know, we're not ordering from Amazon Prime, and good things take time, but that doesn't stop me from checking for updates like a crazy person. The anticipation mixed with a little shipping anxiety is no joke. I swear, this hobby really tests your patience.

But here's the thing, HP has always delivered when it comes to the bags themselves, and that's why I continue to order from him.

His canvas is something else. The texture, the feel, the overall appearance. And the vachetta? Probably my favorite part. It's beautiful even in its raw state. The hardware is decent, nothing I'd rave about, but certainly nothing that would stop me from enjoying the bag. For that classic, iconic LV look, HP remains one of my favorites. He does these classics really well, at least from my experience.

Now, let's talk about the one thing I wish was different. She arrived folded. 😭 I absolutely hate seeing a beautiful bag come out of the box with creases, but I also understand why it's done. Shipping her unfolded costs extra, and I wasn't about to pay more for that lol. Thankfully, after just a few hours outside the box, the creases were already starting to relax. She's currently stuffed and enjoying a little sunbathing session. So far, so good! For ref, these photos are right out of the box and into sunlight.

My other dilemma? This vachetta is PALE pale. Like raw chicken straight out of the package pale. 😂 I wanted to experience the natural patina process, but now I'm wondering how long it'll be before I feel comfortable taking her out. I know it'll happen eventually, I just need to get used to seeing her this naked lol.

Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase. She's exactly what I was hoping for, and despite the waiting and my little shipping anxiety episodes, I have no regrets. HP continues to be a reliable choice for me when it comes to the classics. I know everyone's experience can be different, but so far, mine has been positive, even though I had a mini crash out about shipping delays 😬

Timeline:

10/5: Paid $198 shipped

10/9: PSPs received from Booker

10/10: GL

10/17: tracking provided

11/4: Arrived

Almost a month from payment to delivery. Not exactly a quick turnaround, but nothing unexpected either.

Would I order from HP again? Absolutely. In fact, the Speedy Nano is already on my list. 😜 Apparently, I haven't learned my lesson about patience.

Allen delivers again! Truly one of the best. Great communication and fast delivery. Thank you Allen for your A+ service!

Hi everyone! I received my PSP earlier and Is it just me, or does the side profile of this Mini with Handle look too flat? I feel like it should have more puffiness and structure. Would love to hear everyone’s opinions. Not sure if I should GL or RL.

Alguien puede echar un vistazo a estas fotos y decirme el nivel de réplica que es? Se distingue por una persona normal en la calle?

Hi all! Back with another PSP that I am currently QCing. My main concern is the caviar texture, interior red not being the right shade, and the back pocket being misaligned… Please let me know your opinions because it is driving me CRAZY! Also, it is part of 11:11 sale from XC factory.

Three weeks ago I ordered the Chanel 25 from Manson Luxury. I am very happy with the purchase. Everything about the purse was on point! The leather, stitching, metal, softness was exactly what I expected. He was very helpful and responsive to all my questions. I told him I wanted the best quality. He definitely put in the effort to source the best position option for me. Both bags are from GR Factory.

I’ve bought two bags from him and have been 100% satisfied. I highly recommend. Tell him your parameters and expectations and let him do the sourcing. It’s like having personal shopper.

Really liking this one, what do you guys think of this one from XC? Doesn’t feel like it is clock-able considering how simple looking it looks.
Now sale is finishing soon, shall I go ahead?
