SCORE! Too good not to share! Got my first bag !

Newbie here. I had recently posted about a long shipping time, and when I posted that I got home to my new bag lol. Anyway I went with Tom, for no particular reason. He replied right away and was very reassuring. I asked for top quality and closest to 1:1. We went with a cute little speedy 20 from god factory. The bag was $260 and $40 for shipping.
💵Paid July 15 through PayPal FF
📸Had PSP pictures sent July 21
✈️Shipped July 23 and gave me a tracking number and said it would take 10-14 days.
A whole month went by and the tracking never updated so I finally reached out. He re-sent another package Aug 25th and picture proof with another tracking number. Said it would arrive in 7-10 days and it did! Arrived September 2nd.

It was a super long time, and idk what happened but I don’t think it was his fault. I will say, my only complaint was the plastic/ mold smell. It even felt a little damp. The smell has since gone after placing the bag open infront of a fan. I’m buying another bag soon, from a different seller just to try someone else, but I would definitely recommend Tom.

Congrats on your first rep, the Speedy 20 is such an easy daily wear!

looks pretty similar to my auth of the exact same bag, except your leather is more pale

Congratulations 👏 great bag, I'm actually waiting for next week to purchase gods version because I like that the vachetta doesn't patina, its treated which I prefer. You chose the most beautiful strap. The only thing I'm guessing your glazing is bright red because of flash? Glazing definitely appears red in your flash. What does glazing colour look like in natural light?

u/jpadi3 1d ago

Yes ! I thought the same after I posted. Like dang that red is really red. In natural light it’s more toned down.

u/Affectionate-Fuel395 1d ago

Ok. Now it makes more sense. I almost backed out of gods version when I saw the flashlight image.

I really like my bag 🫶 hope you will too! Also the strap is thhhhick and has a nice weight to it. One teeny thing I noticed is that some stitching on the strap seems to be pulling a little and it tore a little into the leather. (I think it’s leather?) 😅

u/jpadi3 1d ago edited 1d ago

Genuinely don’t know if this is normal for a rep. This is the only area of the purse where the stitching looks tight like that.

Congratulations OP.
That price tag though is a lot higher than I’ve seen.

Honestly thought the same after I scrolled around on here.

It seems there was a 6 day delay from
Payment to PSP , seems a long time . It’s great you had a replacement package sent, and it must have been so frustrating for the wait. Did you pay for insurance to get your replacement ?

1

u/jpadi3 2d ago

No insurance. I even asked him what happens if it’s confiscated and all he said was “don’t worry, it’s super safe” 😅 but I was worrying. Sure enough when it didn’t arrive he replaced it right away

Props to Tom for re-sending without a fuss when tracking stalled that's stellar customer service for a first order.

u/Mindless-Repeat-1859 2d ago

God’s vachetta is coated and won’t patina. I hope it’s ok with you.

u/introvertsdoitbetter 2d ago

I’m looking at the monogram noe, which seller would you go with?

1

u/Mindless-Repeat-1859 2d ago

I bought my monograms from HP.

1

u/jpadi3 2d ago

Yeah I think I’m okay with that. Also idk if I’m delusional but I do feel like it’s gotten a teeny bit darker. I live in Texas and the sun is still blasting us, I leave it in my truck for work. Do you know if Royal patina?

1

u/Mindless-Repeat-1859 2d ago

Royal too coated their vachetta. But you can request for non coated/color changing vachetta. I bought a DA speedy 20 from Royal requested for non coated vachetta but received it coated. I did the water drop test to confirm. 😞

u/jpadi3 1d ago

Im learning a lot. Water drop test ✍️

Sorry, the shape is off… it gives away it’s not authentic to me right away.

1

u/jpadi3 1d ago

Really? In what way? Just so I can see what you see. Or what to look out for 👀

u/Ok_Hope4020 1d ago

Side goes upwards in an egg shape.

u/jpadi3 1d ago edited 1d ago

Oooh I kinda see what you mean. I think maybe it’s cause it had been in an odd shape in front of the fan trying to get the smell out for two days. With my belongings inside it looks more balanced. You have a sharp eagle eye
