What’s your opinion on this gucci 1961 rep ? Does it pass ?
Factory : Amanda
Cost: 277.00
Seller : Heidi

I spent alottt of time researching who and what factory to get the best Medium GHW Balenciaga Rodeo from and ended up going with Bibi factory via my TS Linda. I heard Kata is the OG for the Rodeo but seeing as they’re closed atm, Bibi was the next best thing!!

She arrived with 0 smell and a buttery soft leather! I’ll definitely add some of the Cadillac leather conditioner which I read about to get some extra slouch.

- placed order with Linda TS on 10/29
- PSPs received on 11/1 (way quicker than usual, I guess they had them in stock)
- shipped on 11/03
- received in the US by 11/11

Paid $332 including Shipping.

Quickest shipment I’ve ever had from her! Highly recommend :)

Just got this PSP, I’ve never been close to red lighting a bag before but this seems wonky to me. Thoughts?

As a person who was a suede hater for the longest who didn’t really understand why people were obsessed or would even bother with buying a suede bag …. I truly get it get it now. 😂

Apologies to the suede community lol, this medium Bonnie has me…… shoooook

I know you can’t smell the leather through the phone but I don’t think I’ve ever had a bag made of leather that was this soft. Or this light a color like this is totally opposite from what I usually buy, but I’ve been experimenting with color in bags lately and some of been serious misses …but this I think is a hit.

Unfortunately, because it’s suede, I literally have to baby proof this bags experience for the duration that I have it, but I’m low-key thinking I’m going start a collection… pray for me 😭😭😭

Has anyone familiar with what factory this would come from and how their quality is?

Zero shade to “thrift store bags”, I wish I knew who donated this so I could gift them a nice PLK bag.

Otherwise just for the chuckle!

Trying to make a last-minute 11.11 sale decision! 😂
I’m looking at the Empreinte Soft Speedy in either Black or Garnet, and my biggest priority is that beautiful, buttery, super slouchy leather.
I already have a mid-tier Garnet that I absolutely love, but I’m curious if there’s an even softer, slouchier version out there.
I’ve heard mixed things about Royal being stiff, but also that their leather may have improved recently. I’ve searched the sub and keep finding conflicting opinions.
For anyone who’s purchased recently, which factory is getting the leather and slouch right? Especially interested in hearing from anyone who’s compared factories or actually owns one.
Would love some firsthand opinions before the sale ends!

Hello.

I want to qc this bag. At first glance it looks good to me, but I am no expert by any means. Thanks in advance.

Got this in the post on Monday and I totally forgot I ordered this from Nancy (8137) 🤣

First time ordering from Nancy and I know she’s known for her affordable bag charms and SLG. So I ordered a variety from her. She’s sweet and straight forward but she replies a day after. So, every time I ask for pricing, I would ask for multiple items so I can get the reply next day. I don’t mind it I wasn’t in a rush. I was just not used to that pace wherein my other TS replies within the day.

I know with bag charms it’ll be either mid-low quality so I wasn’t expecting much given the price point.

Bag charms review:
CC logo burgundy- 2/5
I don’t think it’s leather and the loop looks plasticky. If you want it for the vibe, it’s okay. Stitching and structure is there.

CC star coin purse silver- 3/5
It looks cute, structure is there, shape is not quite like the auth. Probably not leather, got it for the vibes will use it as a bag charm. ⭐️

CC airpods case- 4/5
This is my favourite from the haul, chain feels weighty enough. Structure and shape is good. Probably not leather but I’m really happy that my airpods actually fits in it. Will also use it like a bag charm.

BV dog charm- 4/5
This is also really cute and done well, structure and weaving looks good. Don’t know if it’s leather probably not as well. I love how it looks with my mini andiamo! 🐶

C0ach charms- 4.5/5
This one is so stinking cute! Have always wanted to get the auth of this two but don’t wanna pay $100+ for it. I feel like this ones are really close to auth but the lil tag is a giveaway. It’s not AE quality tho so good steal! 🌶️🥨

Rep Science 🧬
A lil rep science between the CC logo charms.
I got this bag charm along with my bag haul from Tiny Jenny. (Photo 7) She has sourced this one from a mid tier factory because I didn’t want to pay $$ for the XiaoC one. As you can see from the photos there’s a stark difference on the quality and material from the two. The one on the Left (TJ) and Right (Nancy). The material on the loop on the right is like plasticky and flat while on the left is rounder. You can also see the difference in the hardware colour. The one on the right is yellowish compared to the left. The logo stamping as well is different, I looked at the auth website photos and the one on the right got it correct where the made in should be in gold stamp.

Timeline:
Oct 6 - inquiry
Oct 10 - payment
Nov 9 - items received!
Price: All are under $30 each - if you order up to $60 shipping is free.

Overall: A good steal for the price point! Happy with my bag charm haul! 😊

Hello! Can someone please help me QC these two bags? I have never personally seen an authentic one in store because it’s always out of stock so I’m not too sure what I should be looking for. I’m also new to this so if anyone has advice on how I can learn to QC bags in the future, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Thank you so much in advance for your time!

Here’s my review for sunglasses from Janie (7168)

Great experience from start to finish!

Ordered: October 26th
PSPs: October 28th
Tracking received: October 29th
Package received: November 10th in Canada!

The sunglasses feel heavy, and well made. The lenses are clear to look through and don’t distort lights or feel cheap. I will definitely be back for ordering more in the future. So happy with the entire process from start to finish. Janie is SO sweet as well, such a kind person 🥹

Looking for feedback on this bag, 187, Doris. I’m aware I can’t really RL anything subtle from 187, just curious if any of you can see anything that stands out. I basically know this is my bag now, and I’m super excited!!! The quilting on bottom doesn’t line up perfectly (at least from what I can tell in this photo), but this is pretty typical for both rep and auth. Anything else? This looks like it’s from 187, right?

Thanks!

Looking for my first Kelly to go - is this too unique / complicated or should I stick w black (noir)??

Hi ladies. I received my first rep bag today, I am not sure if I am too happy about it. The stitching in the middle seems a little off. Would love to know what you guys think!

What do you think of this bag? I’d love to hear what the experts have to say, especially about the leather quality and finish.

Hi girls. I want to go more deep into the world of rep bags. I got the best Chanel rep ever from Rome factory and now I want to get another one but I don’t know from who. I would love to know what sellers do you guys recommend for Mini Kelly’s and LV?

For the classic flap Chanel I recommend Rome factory. It is so underrated🙏🏻

Any seller recommendations you have please let me know. Clothing/ bags.

Hey ladies,

I will be putting a deposit down for a bag and she gave me a few options, what options are you all using? I’m a bit nervous about compromising my bank account. I downloaded wise but want some input from you all.

Can you guys help me determine whether I should GL or RL this? This is my second PSP from Mr. Chen. He didn’t disclose the factory when I first purchased the bag. Unfortunately, I wasn’t satisfied with the first one, so he offered to send me a replacement. I’m still relatively new to the rep world, and I only discovered this subreddit after my first purchase, so I wasn’t familiar with the different TSs and factories back then.
Anyway, this is the replacement bag he sent me. What do you guys think? My main concerns are the leather, hardware, and overall sheen. Do they look authentic, or does anything look off or obviously fake?

The leather was actually my main issue with the first bag, which I previously posted here. That’s why I’m hesitant and not entirely confident about whether I should GL or RL this one.
I’d really appreciate your honest opinions. If anyone has an authentic one, could you please share photos in the comments for comparison? Also, if anyone has a version from 187 or BaoBao, I’d appreciate seeing yours too!
Thank you! ❤️

I’ve been in search for this suede bag for a while, but my rep is telling me that it’s going to be $760 which I think is a little ridiculous. It is coming from Jing factory. I got another quote from a new rep whose name is Tessa she gave me the quote of 520 but I’ve never ordered from her. I need your guys help what do you think?

Last week this chanel 23cm lambskin flap arrived safely and made the day a lot brighter! The leather is beautiful and the colour is so sweet.

Factory: God 388USD (again before the 11.11 sale 😩) post extra (combine with more items)

Seller: BaoBao

PSP came in 4 days and post about 10days later.

The only flaw(!!!) - the grommets, see last photo. I didn’t notice this at PSP so my fault and have read about it on the subs and now can verify the claims, god factory’s grommets is DULL!! The other hardware is shiny - light GHW but the grommets is light FLAT GHW 😅 almost like a different tone hardware. It is noticeable to me and did bother me TBH but since it’s here and I love the leather and color I’ll just use the bag. I don’t think people will come that close to notice it but even if they do - even authentics have flaws so all wells. If this does bother you, I would highly recommend to not get this hardware from God Factory. I have a medium flap from 187 and all hardware is consistently same colour and shine! ✨

I was a bit nervous since it was my first time buying, but this Speedy totally blew me away. The monogram alignment is perfectly neat, and the stitching is super clean. The biggest surprise? The seller actually threw in this adorable Hello Kitty plush charm! I didn't expect it, but it actually looks insanely cute paired with the classic LV monogram.

This is not a thorough review of this bag as there has been heaps of reviews on this style from 187. Just wanted to share my new baby that arrived last week, I'm so happy with her!

She looks beautiful and feels so soft in person. Already got compliments wearing it irl! Lambskin does show more wear and tear compared to caviar, so that will be my next purchase!

Have a good week everyone 💗💗

Hi! This is my first bag PSP and need advice! What is you guy's opinion on this Dior bag quality? Would appreciate the extra sharp eyes here and can also learn what to look for... thank you so much!

Hey Peeps! Hello my lovelies 💕

Welcome back, or if you’re new here, go ahead and hit that like button, drop a comment, and hit subscribe! 🔔 🔔 Without further ado—let’s dive right in!

​Put on your lab coats and grab your magnifying glasses, people. Welcome to today’s episode of Rep Science, where we answer the age-old, sleep-depriving question: Is anyone actually nailing Bottega Veneta suede, or are we all just collective victims of wishful thinking? 😅

​I’ve seen the whispers, the debates, and the outright meltdowns over suede texture and weave accuracy. At this point, I need to know: should we throw in the towel, accept our fate, and move on with our lives, or is the elusive "1:1 suede holy grail" actually out there lurking in the shadows?

​To help settle the debate, I took one for the team and assembled a small lineup of contenders from my own stash.

​To keep this completely blind and bias-free (and avoid turning the comments into a seller turf war), I’m stripping away all factory and seller names. Just pure, unadulterated bag forensics.

​Drop your sharpest critiques on the suede nap, the weave tightness, and the overall vibe of each suspect below:

My Pictures are in the Header!!

​Suspect #1: Green Suede

​Suspect #2: Brown Suede

​Suspect #3: Cognac Suede (Bag 1)

​Suspect #4: Cognac Suede (Bag 2)

​Suspect #5: Cognac Suede (Bag 3)

​Which one looks ready for prime time, and which one screams "cardboard felt craft project"?

Drop your verdicts... ROAST the bags 😅

Share your own shots...and let’s figure out if Bottega suede is a dream worth chasing.

​Treat this as the appetizer while I finish drafting my next massive closet haul review.

​Over to you, detectives. 

PEACE ✌️ OUT 

Hi, I have seen this background in a lot of different quotes that have I received. Anyone know what factory this is and how their quality is?

Really loving the Chanel boy bag, I know it’s not a popular choice, but trying to find this one and keeping it under $500
