Doing a little bag cleanout to make room for something new, so I’m rehoming bags I just don’t reach for enough.
This is my first time rehoming, so I don’t have rehome feedback yet. I know that can make people a little hesitant, so I’m happy to provide additional photos, proof of purchase where I have it, or whatever reasonable verification you’d like before buying. I’d rather be completely upfront about everything. 😊
US to US only. Prices include shipping.

Light Monogram/Pink LV | Royal Factory | $150 shipped
Purchased directly from Mandy, who told me it was from Royal Factory. I paid $266 including shipping.
I’ve only carried this bag very briefly, maybe twice. It’s in excellent condition. I did condition the vachetta, so it has started to develop a light patina. One handle has a little more patina than the other — please look closely at the photos.
Really pretty bag and I love the lighter monogram/pink combination; I just don’t reach for it enough to justify keeping it.
Reasonable offers welcome.

intentionally beat up my bag

Does anyone else do this with their bags or am I weird 😂 I actually hate when a bag looks too new and perfect. I’ve been trying to get this one to soften up and get a little slouchy because I want it to look like I’ve had it forever and use the crap out of it.
I know some people want their bags to stay pristine but I think they look so much better a little beat up. Anyone else do this and what are your tips? I’ve seen one person even said she put hers in the dryer for a bit. ~this is my B*rkin Craie Togo PHW 30sm by my wholesale TS Alice (0576). private factory - her own. understood that this is not Mark or Minion top-tier but I feel pretty happy for the price I paid for it plus, I can beat it up without guilt and see if I like the size.

Has having a pet taught you anything about living more simply?

(finley in her $10 swimming pool)
I got a puppy about a year and a half ago, and I didn’t expect her to teach me nearly as much as she has.
She has absolutely no concept of my insane to do lists! I have ADHD &Her perfect day is a walk where she gets to sniff the same patch of grass for an unreasonable amount of time, playing with a ball, eating something good, lying in the sun for a while, and being near her people.
I’ve noticed that since getting her, I’m a little better at slowing down and actually being where I am. A walk doesn’t always need to be exercise or accomplish anything. Sitting outside for 20 minutes isn’t wasting time. The best part of the day can be something ridiculously ordinary.
She also couldn’t care less what I own, what I’m wearing, whether the house looks perfect, or whether I checked everything off my list that day. She just wants me to throw the ball. 😂 a lot!
I’m curious about other pet owners here: Haas your pet changed the way you think about simple living? What have they taught you😃

gift from husband - should i keep?

This is a Pilot Custom 823 fountain pen in Amber with a Medium 14K gold nib.
i love my husband for thinking of me out of the blue. he wanted to get me a special pen for journaling. he asked the store “what’s the best” and they sold him this. it came with ink but he also bought me a separate bottle of ink. total was $488. i kinda wanted a Twsbi ECO or K Sport pen instead cause i don’t use fancy pens very often. and it’s a med. nib - i have a bunch of med nib pens. has someone used this pen and is it worth the money? cause damn. 💸

griffin bags

I’ve had these two G* totes for a while now, so I figured I’d finally share some pics and thoughts after actually using them.
They’re the navy and white versions and I had both personalized with my initials. I paid around $540 total for the two. I don’t know the factory.
When they arrived I stuffed them and hung them in my closet for about a week to give the canvas time to relax and let the wrinkles/paint settle before really judging them. They were shipped without boxes at my request and arrived flat rather than folded.
After using them, I’m still really happy with both. The canvas feels nice, the leather has a good substantial feel, and I’m happy with the stitching and personalization. I also don’t remember having any noticeable fufu smell.
I got them from Griffin and both purchases were pretty uneventful in the best way 😂 Communication was easy, I got PSPs when expected, shipping was quick, and both bags arrived without any issues. I’d personally buy from him again.
All of the photos are of the actual bags I received. i will post more photos in comments if anyone needs them.
For transparency: I paid for both bags myself. Griffin recently asked if I’d be willing to share my honest experience and his updated contact information

Griffin has WeChat and FB:

review G⭕️yard custom totes with Griffin

I’ve had these two totes for a while now and have actually used them quite a bit. I paid around $540 for both and had the navy and white personalized with my initials. When they arrived, I stuffed them and hung them in my closet for about a week to let the wrinkles relax and the paint settle as much as possible. The canvas feels really nice, the leather is substantial, and the stitching looks great to me. Both orders were easy—PSPs came on time, shipping was pretty quick, and Griffin was easy to communicate with. I’d definitely order from him again. All photos are mine and show the actual bags I received and use. griffin’s new contact info in comments

review: G0yard totes: Griffen

My two personalized G0yard totes from Griffin
I’ve had these two totes for a while now and wanted to share them because I’ve actually had time to use them.
I paid around $540 for both. I had the navy and white bags personalized with my initials, and I absolutely love how they turned out.
Both orders went really smoothly. I received my PSPs when expected, shipping was pretty quick, and I asked for the bags to be shipped without boxes. They arrived safely and flat rather than folded.
The canvas feels really nice, the leather feels substantial, and the stitching looks great to me. I don’t remember either bag having any noticeable factory smell.
My experience with Griffin was also very easy. Communication was good and I received both bags without any problems. I would definitely order from him again.
All photos are mine and show the bags I’ve actually received and used.
Disclosure: I purchased both bags myself. Griffin recently asked if I would share an honest review of my experience.

Dh8 review of Loew* Medium Flamenc* clutch

Bought this from DHG for $65.62.
Details:
Seller: DHG meifengg010203
Price: $65.62
Size: 24.5 cm (Medium)
Material: Seller claims 100% genuine cowhide leather
Factory: Seller says it’s from their own factory
Quality: Seller claims 10A
Would love your thoughts on the leather, shape, logo, and overall accuracy. Anything that stands out compared to auth and do you think this is a good one for as little as I paid honestly I love it. Feels like butter. Looks really good and I added the acorns separately.

I love her 🖤 Chan*l maxi flap: honest review for Alice

Chan*l Maxi flap black with GHW
Size 32cm, $215 plus shipping $35, total $250, she said she uses “private factory”
TS: Alice (WA ending in 0576)
Can anyone QC this Chanel caviar shoulder bag? I purchased it from Alice (wholesale seller), and honestly I’m impressed with the leather—it feels soft and the grain looks really natural. The construction and interior also seem well done, but I’m still learning and would love some experienced opinions. Does this look high tier, mid tier, or are there any flaws I’m missing?
One thing that gave me pause is the payment process. Her PayPal wouldn’t work for me (not sure why), so she created an invoice through the “Made in China” website instead, and I paid that way. Has anyone else had a seller do this? She was helpful and super fast shipping but not as friendly as my other sellers Lisa and Lena. This is my 2nd bag from Alice. Alice did get my address wrong but it made it to me just fine.

Insurance on packages?

Hi everyone, if this post is not allowed, please delete, I was just curious if anybody here gets insurance on their items? I have made about 40 purchases and my first one got detained a few days ago the sellers gonna re-ship it but I wondered if there’s anybody here who normally gets insurance every time they make a purchase? And if yes you get insurance how do you do it? Do you do it through your seller or do you do it on your own etc. also, are there any insurance companies you recommend? I know that some sellers offer insurance anyways please let me know. Thank you.

Feel dumb even asking this!

OK so I’m a little bit hooked on buying bags. I have bought maybe five in the last two weeks. Has anyone run into trouble on PAYPAL when they made too many international transactions? It’s definitely making me rethink this new bag obsession if PAYPAL is even telling me “cool down a bit”! 🤦‍♀️ I have literally checked every resource possible to find out why PAYPAL is not working for me now and the PAYPAL agents are all telling me is to wait 72 hours for the system to reset.

OK, it’s probably low tier, but I’m dying for thoughts and help

Item: Birkin 30 in Etoupe with palladium hardware
Seller: DHG (please be gentle 😅 this was my first rep purchase)
Price: $120 shipped 🚢
Factory (not known):
Link to album (n/a)
Concerns/Things to check:
I know this isn’t a high-tier rep. I bought it mostly to see whether I’d even enjoy carrying a Birkin before investing in a better version. Turns out… I absolutely love it.
I already know the back stitching isn’t accurate, but I’d love honest feedback on anything else that stands out. How noticeable are the flaws to the average person? Are we talking “only rep ladies would notice” or “don’t carry this in daylight”? 😂
Thoughts:
Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised for the price. The leather feels nice, the color is beautiful, and it’s making me seriously consider upgrading to a mid-tier or high-tier version.
Would love your thoughts on how this one looks from a few feet away and whether it’s passable for everyday wear. Thanks so much for helping a newbie out! ❤️
