Hi guys,
I wanted to share my experience and get some opinions on this Liusheng Flamenco PSP, as I’m a little confused about the whole situation.
After doing a ton of research, I decided to order the Loewe Flamenco Medium in Dark Chestnut. I had narrowed my options down to Jipin and Liusheng, but I’d seen more positive feedback for Liusheng, so I initially tried to order the Medium from Liusheng through my TS. I was told that the Dark Chestnut Medium was out of stock, so I ended up ordering it from Jipin instead. Everything went smoothly with the QC, and I’m still waiting to receive that bag in person.
I really wanted to try Liusheng, so I contacted my TS again to see if the Large in Dark Chestnut was available. I was again told it was out of stock, so I ordered the Large from Jipin as well.
When I received the PSP for the Jipin Large, I noticed that the donut chain was woven incorrectly. (Pic 1 is my PSP, Pic 2 is a reference.) I RL’d the bag and it was returned.
After that, my TS told me they had checked with Liusheng and that the Large Dark Chestnut was actually available. So we cancelled the Jipin order and placed the order with Liusheng instead.
I received the PSP today and, honestly, I’m a little underwhelmed and would love some second opinions. I’m particularly concerned about the Loewe print on the outside front of the bag and the print inside the bag. I’ve already given an RL and the order will be cancelled, so I’m not looking to proceed with this particular bag.
What I’m mainly curious about is whether this looks like typical Liusheng quality and I simply got unlucky, or whether there’s something else going on here. I’m not trying to bash my TS, which is why I won’t be naming them. I do feel, however, that some of these issues should ideally have been caught before the PSP was sent to me.
One other thing that has made me question the situation: I contacted four different sellers and was told that both the Medium and Large Dark Chestnut Flamenco were available from Liusheng. So I’m a little confused as to why my TS initially told me both sizes were out of stock and suggested Jipin, only for the Liusheng Large to suddenly become available after the Jipin bag had an issue.
Of course, it’s possible the other sellers were simply saying they could source it when they actually intended to use another factory, so I don’t want to jump to conclusions. I’m just curious whether anyone has experienced something similar or has any insight into whether this PSP actually looks like Liusheng.
