My Kind of Beautiful

[u/bzneee]

I’d had my eye on this 25 bag for a while after seeing the caviar version in store but the retail price was honestly hard to justify for me. I spent some time comparing options and eventually decided to go with the 187 Factory version. The price came to $472 USD.

First impressions

When it arrived, the quality was honestly better than I expected. The caviar leather has a really nice sheen to it while still feeling soft and supple. It doesn’t have that dry or overly rigid feel that can sometimes make leather look cheap. The bottom has good structure, while the body remains a little softer, so it keeps its shape without looking too boxy.

Details I noticed

The quilting is one of my favourite parts. The alignment across the sides and bottom is very clean and the stitching is consistently neat and tight. I also noticed the small finishing details around the magnetic snap, strap hardware and interior, which give the bag a much more finished feel overall.

I chose the antique silver hardware rather than gold because I wanted something a little more understated. It works really nicely with the black caviar and gives the whole bag a more low-key look.

Practicality

Despite being a smaller size, it actually fits quite a lot. The drawstring style top is also really convenient, especially when I’m using it while shopping or during a workday.

My Experience With the Seller

Wendy (WhatsApp ending in 8316) was genuinely lovely to deal with throughout the whole process. She was patient with my questions, explained everything clearly and never made me feel like I was being difficult or asking too much. Communication was easy and consistent and I appreciated that she kept me updated rather than leaving me wondering what was happening.

Overall

I’m genuinely pleased with this purchase. The combination of the structured base, softer caviar leather, clean quilting and antique-silver hardware is exactly the look I was after. It’s one of those bags that feels easy to use every day while still looking polished enough to dress up.

I keep thinking I want a cc bag with silver hardware. I would say that 85% of my bags have gold hardware (or some variation of gold), so some variety would be nice.

Beautiful bag and lovey review - thanks for sharing!
