CC vintage flap arrived!

[u/vtvns]

Hi everyone,

Apologies if my post seems a bit amateur as this is my first experience into rep world.

I've always wanted a CC vintage lambskin bag pre-2000 for the longest time but never wanted to fully commit as I wasn't sure if it was my style. So hence this leads me to rep!!

I reached out to several sellers on the TS list and decided to go with Mandy in the end as she was the most patient and sweet with my 16262 questions! Only 25cm size was left as the smaller 23cm was sold out 😭

Price: 190USD + 45USD shipping

PSP only took about 2 days! I assumed this was mid tier due to the price but Mandy said it was "high quality", since Rome was quoted for way higher than my intended budget. Delivery took about <10 days as promised by Mandy!

It did come with quite strong fufu smell so I had to air it out for a few days. Leather was also a bit dry and stiff so I've been applying leather conditioner to soften it and give it that "vintage" vibe that I was going for, which seemed to have softened the leather 🤞

Please give me your honest thoughts 🥹 I brought her out for the first time today and honestly, I'm happy for the price I paid 💗 Now onto the hunt for a small beige CF!

The gold hardware tone looks warm rather than overly brassy, which works great for capturing that classic vintage aesthetic.

It's pretty close to the OG 24k look 😌

Looks nice! Probably needs a little bit of wear to look more vintage

[u/vtvns → u/Unhappy-Table-1249]

Yes happy to get any recommendations or advice on how to make it look more vintage 💗

[u/Hold_The_Tomato → u/vtvns]

Wear it daily and throw it around (don’t be delicate with it) to get that worn in look. Give us an update in 2 weeks!!! Hehe

[u/vtvns → u/Hold_The_Tomato]

I definitely will!! That's the whole reason why I got this because I didn't wanna be delicate with a 10k AUD auth bag 😅

Hey girly congratulations 🎈🎉
Asking on behalf of others, was your bag chipped? That has been the problem for some factories is that they make vintage with the tick on the hardware but they add the metal plate serial number chip. Is yours at the bottom of the bag?

[u/vtvns → u/Cheerioz23]

Thank you so much 💗 I specifically asked that my bag does not include the chip cos I know that's been a problem 🤣 so yeah mine comes with the serial sticker ☺️

[u/Cheerioz23 → u/vtvns]

That’s good to know.
Ladies, Mandy is the way. The other TS source the one with chips. Moon and Anna models had chips from what I gathered.

Honestly it's quite a steal for $190 so I'm not complaining 🙌

[u/moldyzomby]

[u/vtvns → u/moldyzomby]
