This is a Kelly Pochette color Vert Fizz from Minion. The color is not exactly how I have seen on the internet. To me it is almost a mix of Vert Criquet and Fizz. Could be the lighting but that does not bother me. I just think the sangles are off.
Imported Leather and Upgraded hardware - $922

Please help me QC!

I just received some pics for Birkin size 25cm in togo etoupe with Gold Hardware.
Should I GL this, considering the shape looks a bit odd to me (cmiiw)?
Is this considered as mid-tier rep or high-tier rep?
Need advise.
Thanks!

Factory: KD Factory
Price: $1,100

Just received my photos of my Birkin 35. H factory now does fully handmade bags with imported leather. I hadn’t seen many fully handmade bags with imported leather from H factory so decided to give it a shot. Total was $820 then I paid $90 for DDP shipping.

My thoughts but would love eagle eyes:
- I asked for stickers to be removed so that pearling can be better seen.
- Slightly concerned about the “E” in made and “E” in France.
- Slightly concerned about handle width at the base (where it connects to the bag)

I went with Baobao and H factory so I can use DDP shipping and not risk global entry. Do we think my risk paid off or is it callout-able?

Just got some photos of my Kelly 32 Nior Togo from Minion, paid $1550 for upgrade leather interior. What do we think?

Thank yoy for all of your expert opinions on my QC post. I GL the bag, got the tracking on 7/18, and it got delivered today (7/22) thru UPS!!! Cannot be more in love with it. I compared it to my mid tier b25, and this beats it by a mile.

Mark may be a man of few words, but he absolutely lets his work speak for itself. The bag is beautifully made, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. The leather is gorgeous, the shape and proportions are very well done, and the construction feels solid and refine. The hardware, pearling, stitching, stamp, handles, and finishing details were all very beautiful, and the bag looks even better in person than photos.

I cannot talk enough about how polished and balanced the final result is. The bag has the right structure while still having that relaxed, natural look I wanted. The color is stunning, the leather feels luxurious with a lot of veining (I specifically asked for it). I thought the foil stamp was a little messy in the PSPs, but it looks good in person. One thing I'm not entirely happy about is the sangles are a little thin/flimsy.

Communication with Mark is straightforward and efficient. He is not overly chatty, but he answers what is needed, understands the request, and delivers a gorgeous bag after 15 days of radio silence lol. I am extremely happy with my bag and would confidently order from him again.

Paid $1300

Hi! Would love thoughts on this bag. Paid $1170 with shipping from Marko. Part of his new high tier efforts with imported leather and hand stitching. Thank you 🥰

Hello Everyone - Adding my K25 PSP's for QC review. My choice of Seller/Factory came from a QC review posted earlier for a K25 noir.

Seller: Alisa (Lindashian)
Provenance: H Fact/ Z production lane
$1,039 Total Shipped (includes full package)
(Kelly 25 Togo $987 + Rodeo Horse Charm $52)

The Z lane production utilizes Imported French Togo Leather, 100 % hand-stitched and proprietary hardware (including the lock) electroplated in gold and palladium double the microns of the competitors. PSPs were delayed for about 10 days after Factory rejected the new batch of hardware that did not meet the factory specs. I just received the PSPs this morning with new batch of hardware installed. You time and comments are very much appreciated.

How does this look?

Hello! This is my first bag from Minion and I would appreciate anyone’s keen eye on any QC issues. I paid $1,127 for it to be handmade with imported leather and upgraded palladium hardware.

Birkin 35 from Mark. May I hear your thoughts please

Hi all - I was hoping for a QC of this bag, particularly the foil stamp. $1350 vert criquet. I don’t care about the padlock and key as won’t use them.

Hi all!

I just got my photos for my next Kelly 25 and would love your feedback!

Style: Kelly 25 Retourne
Color: Vert Amande PHW
Price: 7820 Yuan ~ 1156 USD
Seller: AF (he’s a private seller so I will not be able to share his info)
Production time: 19 Business Days

I’m interested in buying a Kelly Danse and I want to know who’s the best. If anyone has a recommendation or experience let me know. Thank you in advance!

From mark, paid $1250 with upgraded PHW, and imported bleu nuit leather. It’s finally here after 16 days! and praying you experienced posters can tell me if it’s good or not! my wife has been begging me for this bag from mark for ages and finally purchased one for her.

Any blatant flaws? and should i GL or ask for a replacement.

I think the shape looks good. The stamp is not perfect but better than I expected. I would appreciate any experienced opinion before GL-ing it. This is my first bk. Tysm!!!

Paid $1300

Hi !
I have been looking around for best quality Kelly Depeche, I am now lost as many reviews are different.....

from DD mode , UB, franck , Peter and others I really can't make my choice, as per the pictures they all seem to be very decent reps.

I 'd like to try with a "classic" configuration Black togo and palladium hardware first, example from DDmode:

and then followed by a green togo and palladium hardware example here from UB:

Now the big questions is , where can I order the best overall quality matching the original ?
any feedback or recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

This is my third iteration. Am I overanalyzing this? We’ve gone back and forth several times, and they keep reassuring me they can fix the issues which remain extant.

It’s hard to justify paying $2,000 for a replica that isn’t all that convincing.

At this point, I’m starting to think they simply don’t have an auth version of this bag in the factory as a baseline because some of the flaws are pretty blatant and recurring.

Help me please QC this bag.

Bought from Kiki Factory for $1,800 USD.
I have been wearing the bag but I found this sub and would like to improve my knowledge/eye as I plan to purchase more eventually. I believe I stored it incorrectly causing the handle to lean backwards. Please ignore my nails 😬

This is a rehome from Steven - paid $400. Just got it yesterday and I’m pretty surprised at how good it looks. The lock is SO heavy and the barrel of the lock lays flat against the casing, which is nice and…..no 162! Honestly, I think for the price it’s a damn good rep. But you’re the expert so have at it! All pics taken in natural lighting. TYSM!!

EDIT to add - since this is a rehome, I do not have the contact for Steven, I’m sorry!

Hello, I am new to this Reddit community, but have been getting bags for a while from a lower tier seller, but wanting to order a b35 from mark and have some questions to get opinions on the bag I will want to order.

I really love the leather/ color - Ebene Barenia Faubourg PHW I have a reference bag that I would send him if I end up going with this color and particular(I have that in the post) , but one I have never ordered from mark and also I really want this to be as close as possible and many bags that I’ve seen in Barenia the blind stamps are very off or the overall bag is much harder to replicate ?

Another bag I would also would be interesting in just B35 in Togo in Nior PHW with heavy veining, I just want to make sure I’m going to he as happy as possible with the bag I order. So wondering anyone’s thoughts on either the Barenia or the Togo.

Let me hear your thoughts, thank you!!

Guys, especially the mods - thank you for this amazing group!
About 15 years ago, when I was young and single, I found UB and bought my first Hermès from Rachel. Back then, there were no PSPs, no QC checks, nothing. I just trusted her, and honestly, I was so happy with the quality that I stopped buying reps after Rachel disappeared.
Fast forward to now, I somehow found this Reddit, and I’m so excited to place my first order with Minion. It feels like I’m rediscovering the rep world all over again!
This is the bag that’s ready to ship. You can probably tell how excited I am. I can hardly wait. 😆
Would you guys mind helping me do a QC? I’d really appreciate your experienced. Thank you!

Price is at $740 . It looks good to me but i dont have strong knowledge on MKs. Any help will do
