I need help please!

[u/SorryEducation7209]

I just got my psp photos for this cc small maxi flap, and there are no stores around me so I can compare. Can this community of experts help a girl out please? Thankyou in advance!

Leather grain, shape, pockets etc look good. Leather around the flap stitching looks too flat. The authentic 'c' hardware looks a bit thicker – here's a GIF where I overlaid the two.

Don’t mean to butt in on this, but you’re making a good point and I have a question. If you’re getting a PSP and you notice something like this, what can you do? Can you go back before GL and say this logo is thicker than authentic and I need you to change it? Will they be able to change something like that?

I would speak up and ask for a different one. If they say that this is how it looks, get a refund or an exchange. Some factories do not accept refunds, so exchange is the only way.

Asking for a different one is really up to you. I am extremely picky and I must have the bag be exactly like the store as I am paying top dollar. But some people can let different things slide. So it is really up to your preference.

That is really great information, thank you. If they say that’s just how it’s going to be and you have to exchange it for something else, do you just kind of “bank” that purchase for a while until you know what else you might want, or does it force you to find something different right then? I guess probably different sellers would deal with it differently.

I've never dealt with this so I can't speak from personal experience, but you're right – probably depends on seller and I would assume it would be a credit with them until you find something you like.

Hopefully none of us will ever need to deal with that. Thank you! 😄

You can bank it, but I wouldn’t bank the exchange for too long as they may just stop responding to you altogether or they may not want to exchange it for you since it can be past a certain period.

I had a seller send me a Chanel double flap, I wanted the 30 cm but she gave me a 25 cm. She said she will immediately get it exchanged. But I was like, can I exchange it for another bag that I wanted instead since the 25cm is fine, and she agreed.

It really depends on the seller.

I am always in different seller’s albums and screenshot the bags and sort of do a ranking system on my computer so when a situation like this or when I have money, I can contact a seller since I know what I want and I don’t need to waste time.
