QC Help: Does the colour look different to you?

Can I get some opinions on the colour?

Does it look like the same colour to you guys, or does the PSP look more reddish-brown? I know the lighting can make it look slightly off sometimes but I keep seeing a cool shade brown which is what I wanted versus warm shade in the PSP photos.

The last picture is the authentic bag I tried on in store and factory photos looked accurate to that shade.

Plz help

My current wishlist

This is my current wishlist ~Part 1… 😂

I’ve read that 187 can be a little boxy, but it’s the only one where the chain matches the grommet. I honestly think it would drive me nuts if the chain and grommet didn’t match. 😂

I love suede, so apparently that’s on my list too. I’ve heard 187 does suede best.

The Lady Dior would have to be from God. 🙏🏼
And I think the Puzzle would have to be from Jipin.

🚨 PROTECT YOUR PROFILE REHOMING TIPS 🚨

RTR family, please take a minute to read this because this is important.

We all know the rep community is very much an IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW world. And every once in a while, things get a little sticky. We see accounts suddenly removed, longtime members lose profiles, and sometimes people don’t even fully understand what triggered it.
So PLEASE start thinking about protecting your Reddit profile and being intentional about what you leave publicly attached to it.

First: DELETE. DELETE. DELETE.

Stop leaving old rehomes sitting on your profile forever. If something has sold and you no longer need the post, DELETE IT. Clean up after yourself.

If you don’t want to delete it because you want to preserve your history, that’s completely fine edit the post and put GONE. The point is that there is no reason for someone to click your profile and find a giant wall of old, outdated rehomes.

Second: PRIVACY.

Go through your Reddit privacy settings. You do not need every piece of your Reddit activity connected publicly to your profile. Be conscious of what strangers can see about you, what information you’ve shared over time, and whether any of it could identify you personally.

Now I already know what some of you are thinking:
“But people need to see my history so they know I’m trustworthy!”

That’s why we are CONSTANTLY preaching about FEEDBACK LINKS.

If you’re an established rehomer, build and maintain a dedicated feedback link. That gives you something consistent that you can provide when somebody wants to verify your history.

And BUYERS ASK FOR THE LINK.

Do not just accept a collection of screenshots and send somebody your money. Screenshots can show whatever somebody wants you to see. Ask for their actual feedback link and VERIFY IT YOURSELF.

The same applies in reverse. Rehomers need to protect themselves too. Check who you’re dealing with.
And finally, there is a reason Rep Top Rehomes does not allow brand names to be typed in our rehome posts.

We are an IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW community. Our posting format is intentional, and we expect everyone to follow it. You don’t need to spell everything out. If you know, you know.

None of these precautions can guarantee that Reddit won’t take action on an account, and our community rules do not override Reddit’s sitewide policies. But you absolutely should be protecting your privacy, keeping your profile cleaned up, maintaining verifiable feedback, and paying attention to what you’re leaving publicly accessible.

We have watched people lose Reddit accounts they’ve had for YEARS. Don’t wait until something happens to start caring about what is attached to yours.

Protect your profile. Protect your privacy. Protect your reputation. Verify who you’re dealing with. And clean up after yourself.

Stay smart, RTR. ❤️

CANADIAN REHOME SHIPPING — LET’S EDUCATE THE NEWBIES

Alright ladies, your friendly neighbourhood mod is here with another episode of “Things We Somehow Never Explain Until Someone Is Standing At The Post Office Sweating.”

For all my seasoned rehome girlies: help me help the newbies. 👇

🇨🇦** SHIPPING**:
• What’s your go-to for local rehomes?
• What do you prefer for province-to-province?
• What are you typically paying? Give us rough estimates because “shipping is expensive” tells us absolutely nothing. 😂

📮 RETURN ADDRESS:
Do you include one? And if you do, what are you comfortable using — actual home address, PO box, business address, etc.?

👤 SENDER NAME:
Do you put your actual name on the package, or do you use initials/business name/another option?

Basically, I want to make this sub as idiot-proof as possible for our new rehomers because we were ALL the noob once. 🫶
Experienced sellers, spill the shipping tea. The rest of us are taking notes. 📝👜

👜 OKAY, WHAT’S THE NEXT BAG? 👀

Enough pretending we’re on a bag ban. We all know that lasted approximately a week or two! Or longer if you have good self control! (I do not I’m already planing my next bag purchase)

So spill it:

What bag are you currently eyeing for your NEXT purchase? 👀🛍️

And more importantly…
🏭 What factory are you thinking of getting it from?
Drop:
• 👜 Bag + size
• 🎨 Colour/leather/hardware
• 🏭 Factory you’re considering
• 💭 Why this one?
• 📸 Bonus points for a pic of the bag you’re stalking

And if you’re undecided on the factory, say that too! Maybe someone here has already done the research and can save you from making an expensive mistake. 😂

I’ll go first: 👀👇

Untrusted sellers list - summarized

Well… Reddit locked my account (not sure why!) and all my posts disappeared, including my original Untrusted Sellers List. 🙃

That list had gotten pretty popular, I got messages from users to share that post with them even after it got taken down, and people still writing comments on it too despite the fact post is gone but comments are still visible.

Soo good news - I went through the comments and pulled the actual experiences Reddit users reported, including short quotes from their comments and, where ever mentioned, how the seller responded.

Important: This is a collection of Reddit user reports — not a verified blacklist and not me declaring anyone a scammer as fact. Some sellers have both good & bad experiences.

The goal is simple: read the reports, do your own research, and use your judgment before sending your money.

So here’s the list in alphabetical order ~

🔥 AFENG
[Username removed as requested] reported:
“He bait and switch me.”
They said they confronted Afeng about it and that he initially acted clueless.
According to the same user:
“He finally apologize about the bait and switch. Too late!!”
They said they blocked him and wouldn’t order again.

🔥 ALISA
u/NobodysBizzniss said:
“Alisa is the worst, dishonest, bait and switch, horrible attitude, hides flaws in psp and tries to gaslight”

🔥 AMANDA
u/SwimmingAnt10 reported:
“bait and switch on me twice, lies about there being real leather interior when there isn’t, it’s PU.”
u/1989ac also said they asked Amanda for her album and:
“she didn’t respond for over a month”

🔥 AMELIA
Amelia had a LOT of attitude-related commentary, but also positive comments about her bags.
u/SnackAttackDiplomat said:
“if you don’t like to be cursed at, stay away from Amelia 😂”
u/repmicho called her:
“the most glaring one”
and said:
“She would be a fine seller if she didn’t have such a piss poor attitude.”

🔥 ANNIE
u/Stacie123a reported:
“I ended up losing about $1000 with Annie.”
They said Annie has a good catalog but that if something goes wrong with PayPal or shipping:
“you’re going to have to fight her for any discount to re-ship.”
They later explained that Zimmermann sizing was significantly off, a Loewe sweater was:
“straight up acrylic garbage”
and that some bags were poor quality.
u/IncidentSoft4 reported:
“She didn’t send me additional QC photos of half of the items I ordered.”
They said the item had:
“terrible stitching and quality”
and alleged Annie then told them to:
“go buy authentic.”

🔥 BAKER
u/metagenome_fan said:
“Baker bait and switched me as well. Even sent the wrong color.”
They explained that they ordered an LV Capucine that was supposed to be from Bird Cage but:
“it definitely was not from that factory.”
They also said when they questioned the color, Baker:
“repeatedly denied that factory had that color”
or gave what the commenter described as an excuse.
The good:
u/DefiantBunny said:
“I ordered from a bag and some clothes from baker and had a really good experience”

🔥 BAOBAO
This was probably the most discussed seller in the entire thread.
u/Few-Decision3759 said:
“She sent me a faulty bag and bait and switched me.”
They said they contacted her repeatedly to resolve it and:
“then she ghosted me.”
Another buyer, u/Striking_Length_2515, said they RL’d the PSP but felt Baobao photographed the faulty area in a way that made it difficult to see.
When the bag arrived faulty, they said Baobao responded:
“i thought it can be passable”
and offered:
“$5 discount for next order LOL”
u/nonchalamment reported a broken bag and said when they asked for replacement hardware or a refund, Baobao:
“got a really bad attitude and told me to stop bothering her”
u/Inevitable-Zone-8915 reported that two supposedly identical bags from the same factory arrived noticeably different:
“the logo colors were different from each other, and the leather was definitely not the same.”
They said they didn’t complain but their trust had gone down.

🔥 DANICA
u/largematchalatteee reported that Danica said a particular factory was open and producing when another seller and other Reddit posts reportedly said that wasn’t the case.
They said:
“I guess she was just planning to bait and switch.”
They added:
“It was my first time reaching out to her and never again.”
⚠️ This is an allegation based on the user’s suspicion. The comment does** no**t establish that a bait-and-switch actually happened.

🔥 ELSA
u/honeydaisy23 said:
“Her response times are so bad it’s not even worth shopping with her.”
u/Accomplished-Ad9648 later said:
“Elsa never reply.”
Another buyer, u/AmoebaMoist9428, reported:
“Elsa bait and switched me, said my bag was light gold and when I got it it was gold”

🔥 ELLA
u/Efficient-Ad-4582 said:
“Ella (wa ending in 6880), very untrustworthy known to bait and switch”
u/Few-Decision3759 replied:
“there are plenty of negative reviews about her. She also overcharges.”

🔥 GIA2
u/Substantial-Value-59 said:
“Gia2 9094 ghosted me.”
They explained that Gia2:
“Was very responsive at first when I ordered but then left me unread after I ordered.”
The order eventually arrived, but they described it as:
“crappy quality”

🔥 HEDDY
u/Former-Lychee-106 said:
“the quality was not what I paid for.”
They said they paid about $250 for a small bag but:
“I would pay less than 100 for the quality.”

🔥 HEIDI
Heidi had mixed reports.
u/Confident_Toe_2546 said:
“I’ve never been happy with her PSPs and when I red flag she gaslights me. 🤣”
u/Fit-Inspector-8942 said they paid a deposit on a beige Chanel that Heidi said was in stock, but then:
“now she’s saying it’s not available for another 4 weeks”
u/External_Committee76 complained:
“Her communication has been so poor. I keep having to follow up”

🔥 HENRY
u/losingmyminddd123 said:
“Bad experience with Henry 8850”
They reported:
“He sent me a bag with the wrong color hardware and then refused to acknowledge it”
Another commenter, u/SushiRoll_1206, simply said:
“Avoid Henry at all cost”

🔥 LINDA
u/Fearless_Royal793 said:
“I paid for 2 Chanel bags from 187 factory but she sent different very bad quality ones!!!!”
Another commenter, u/RedditorLadie, added:
“She unfortunately only does black 187 well, any colored ones don’t come well.”

🔥 LINA
u/lycheebunni gave one of the more detailed reports.
They said:
“I bought from Lina because this tik toker said her bags were so amazing”
They then alleged Lina bait-and-switched them by saying the items were sold out after payment.
They said Lina told them to choose something else, then:
“proceeded not to answer for a week”
They eventually asked for a refund and said Lina:
“kept ghosting me”
until they contacted her on TikTok.
When the bags arrived, they said:
“The bags were such bad quality!!! The alignment was wrong, the cc logo was too big.”
They also said the TikToker who recommended Lina didn’t respond when they raised the issue.

🔥 LUCY SU
u/Frosty-Summer-146 said:
“Lucy Su is a scammer.”
They explained:
“They seemed to be a trusted source for shoes for a while, but then suddenly ran off with loads of people’s money.”

🔥 MANDY
Mandy had a LOT of conflicting reports.
u/honeydaisy23 said:
“her QC check are abysmal.”
They said they had to RL a bag twice and:
“then ended up just getting a refund.”
u/largematchalatteee alleged Mandy said a bag was available from Nicole Factory when two other sellers said it was no longer in production or stock.
They said:
“I wonder if she wouldve just taken my money and found a cheap taobao rep or something.”
u/Careful_Day_9749 reported repeatedly confirming that a bag’s leather was untreated.
They said Mandy confirmed it would:
“change color” fast.
But after receiving the bag, they said:
“the leather was coated!!”
They contacted Mandy and reported her response was that:
“it will change color…gradually.”
u/Illustrious-Fact-610 said:
“Mandy has been promising me a refund for 1 year. Never again.”

🔥 NINA
u/WrongBoxBro7 said:
“Sent me a rose gold necklace instead of yellow gold a couple years ago”
They alleged Nina:
“gaslit me, denied it, refused to help.”

🔥 PETER
u/Emmessenn described a situation where Peter confirmed a bag was available, accepted payment, and then said the factory didn’t have it.
They chose another item, which was again confirmed as available, and after payment:
“he came back and said the factory is out of stock.”
They said:
“i got my refund pretty quickly, had to chase once”
but:
“trust is gone and i’ll never try ordering with Peter again.”
u/Strong-Beginning-412 said they experienced something similar and that each replacement bag was a few dollars more, describing it as:
“nickel and diming me.”
Peter’s response, as reported in the comments, was essentially that the factory was out of stock. The buyers did not report receiving the items.

🔥 REYKAY
u/Few-Decision3759 said:
“She hid a flaw in a psp. It was a very large scratch.”
They later said:
“Mine smelled like mold. And then there was this big scratch”
and alleged Reykay:
“hid the angle where you could see the big scratch”
u/Missmessc reported:
“a bag from Rekay that smells like plastic on a summers day.”
u/Expensive-Tone548 also reported:
“the leather was wrong”
and said Reykay hid a flaw in the PSP pictures.
u/Relevant_Factor2397 said they had given Reykay three tries and:
“every order has been disappointing.”
They alleged the bags weren’t even real leather despite requesting high-tier factories.

🔥 SKY
u/Rare-Inside110 said:
“Dealing with her is like pulling teeth, tracking numbers to nowhere, no refund, all for thoroughly mid shoes that only show up half the time.”
They added:
“I know other folks have had luck with her, but I’ll never deal with her again.”
u/Complex-Sell replied:
“I had the same experiences.”

🔥 TINA
[Username removed as requested] reported:
“Tina bait & switched me.”
They compared their Chanel 25 to another 187 Factory bag and said:
“the differences in the leather, and overall quality were obvious.”
They also complained about poor packaging and wrinkles.
When confronted, they said Tina:
“continued insisting it was from 187”
and told them the wrinkles were normal.
The buyer described that as:
“She just gaslit me.”

🔥 TOM
u/honeydaisy23 simply reported:
“Tom- poor quality bag”
u/Accomplished-Ad9648 later said:
“Mandy, pleather bag she swears is leather, baobao, tom, Elsa never reply.”

🔥 ZERO
[Username removed as requested] gave a detailed report.
They said:
“Seller ‘zero’ sold me a cheap faux leather LV Keepall.”
They said it was supposed to be from Royal Factory but was actually:
“from a lower tier MB factory.”
They also bought a Soft Speedy and alleged that it was from MB rather than Royal.
They said Zero:
“lied and told me he sourced from Royal.”
They also alleged that after they called him out, people began making positive reviews under their post.
Their conclusion:
“I will no longer trust any reviews on him.”

👀 OTHER NAMES MENTIONED
There were also commenters who named sellers they personally hadn’t bought from but had heard negative things about.
u/Expensive-Tone548 specifically listed:
“Kiki
Linda/lindashian clan
Aaron
Abby
Danica
Maya
Max max”
and clarified that these were sellers they had read about, not necessarily people they had personally purchased from.
For Kiki, they later explained:
“there is always something wrong with her orders”
including allegedly receiving:
“the wrong item, from the wrong factory or wrong color”
Again, that’s a report based on what that Reddit user had read — not their own transaction.

🟢 AND YES… SOME PEOPLE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES
This is important because we’re not pretending every seller mentioned here is automatically terrible.

Baobao:
u/Repulsive_Way9316:
“I bought probably 20 bags from her with no issues. Legit the best seller I ever had.”
u/ThePassportPrincess:
“I bought 4 bags from her in May and they were beautiful.”

Mandy:
u/shinythings-n-stuff reported receiving a refund when factory photos didn’t match the PSP and getting a replacement for a damaged bag.

Annie:
u/Ok_Chicken4180:
“ordered a few items from her that have been good quality”

Amelia:
u/PoloRalphWiggum:
“her bags slap.”

Heidi:
u/KickRelevant7818:
“Always top notch experience with her and very respectful and responsive”

Tina:
u/Gold_Freedom_9611:
“everything went fine. I love the bag I got.”

💅 THE POINT OF THIS UNTRUSTED SELLER LIST~

This isn’t about telling you who you’re allowed to buy from.

It’s about putting the information in one place so you can see what actual buyers are saying, including the good, the bad, and the sellers’ reported responses when there was one.

A seller can have 20 happy customers and someone else can have a terrible experience.
Both can exist.

So search the seller. Search the phone number. Read recent reviews. Look at your PSPs. Ask questions. And don’t assume someone is automatically safe because their name has been recommended 500 times.

Welcome to RepRebelsClub 👜💅🏽

👋 Welcome to RepRebelsClub 👜💅🏽

RRC is for people who love bags, fashion, and the rep hobby.

You can ask questions.
You can show your bags.
You can post your hauls.
You can ask for QC.

You can share your wins, your fails, and your “well… the pictures looked better” moments.

And most importantly, you do NOT need to pretend you’re a handbag professor to participate.

👜 BAG TALK

Show us what you got.

Show us your bags. Show us your hauls. Show us what you’re thinking about buying.

Talk about quality, materials, functionality, accuracy, what you love, what you hate, and whether you’d actually buy that bish again.

Found a bag that absolutely ate?

POST IT.

Bought a bag that looked luxurious in the PSPs but showed up looking like it had survived a house fire, three divorces, and a custody battle?

POST THAT TOO. 😭

We want the good, the bad, and the “girl… what the hell did I just buy?”

Because fake perfection isn’t helpful.
Honest experiences are.

🔍 QC DISCUSSIONS

Need help with your PSPs?
Post them.

But PLEASE look at them yourself first and tell us what you’re seeing.

Because:

“QC please 🙏”
…and then 14 blurry photos taken from approximately three zip codes away?

Girl. What are we supposed to do with that? 😭

Tell us what you’re concerned about.
“Is the stitching crooked?”
“Does the shape look off?”
“Does the hardware look weird?”

Give us something to work with. 😂

The goal isn’t to have somebody else QC every single bag you ever buy.

We actually want you to learn how to spot things yourself.

Because eventually you should be looking at your PSPs like:

“Hold up… that ain’t right.” 👀
And honestly? That’s growth.

📚 REVIEWS

Good reviews are GOLD.

So if you’re writing one, give us the tea.
Seller/factory.
Price.
Timeline.
Photos.
What you expected.
What you actually received.
What you love.
What pissed you off.
And whether you’d buy that bag again.
Tell us what was amazing.
Tell us what was trash.
If you’d buy it again?

SAY THAT.

Tell us what actually happened to you.
A review should be:

“Here’s what I bought, here’s what I received, and here’s my experience.”

Not:

“THIS SELLER IS A SCAMMER BECAUSE MY BAG HAS ONE CROOKED STITCH.”
Please. 😭

🤝 YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE

This community only works if people actually participate.

We’re not asking you to write a damn thesis every time you make a post.

But please put a little effort into your questions.
Search the sub first.

Read the reviews.

Look through old QC posts.

Because if the exact same question has been answered 47 times this week, somebody is going to eventually start twitching. 😂

And when you learn something?

Share it.

You don’t need to be the resident factory encyclopedia.
Sometimes:

“I had the same issue and this is what happened.”
is WAY more useful than somebody writing 900 words about leather grains nobody understands.
We’re here to learn from each other.

Not compete for Miss Replica Handbag Universe 2026. 👑😭

🛡️** PROTECT THE COMMUNIT**Y

Listen y’all…
We’d like to keep this place around.
So please use your common sense.

A few things:
• Use abbreviations for brand names when possible — CC, LV, H, CD, etc.

• Do NOT post private seller contact information.

• Don’t post personal or identifying information.
• Be careful with unsolicited DMs. Not everybody sliding into your messages is your new bestie. 😂

• Don’t make wild accusations without evidence.
• And for the love of handbags,

STOP calling somebody a “scammer” because your purse showed up with a tiny scuff. 😭 (I’ve seen posts like this in subs where the mods are sleeping)

If you have a legitimate problem, explain what happened.

Give people the facts.

Let the community decide.

• NO seller self-promotion.
This is a community, not your personal billboard. We don’t need:

“Hey girlies 😘 DM me for the best bags!”
No ma’am.

• Don’t post sensitive information that could unnecessarily put factories, sellers, buyers, or the community at risk.

Basically:
Don’t be messy in a way that gets everybody caught up.

There is already ENOUGH chaos in the rep world.
We do not need to personally audition for the role of “Why Did This Sub Get Shut Down?” 😂

🔎 SEARCH BEFORE ASKING

This one is easy.
Before asking:
“Who makes this bag?”
“Is this factory good?”
“Has anybody bought this?”
“Is this seller reputable?”

SEARCH THE SUB.

You might find exactly what you’re looking for.
And if you don’t?

Ask away.

Nobody is going to drag you for being new.

Well…

We might lovingly roast you for asking something that was posted yesterday. 😂
But you’ll survive.

❤️** TO OUR NEW MEMBER**S

Bring the bags.
Bring the questions.
Bring the reviews.
Bring the drama only when necessary. 😂
But most importantly:
Be honest.
Be helpful.
Be respectful.

Use your common sense.

And PLEASE don’t get us shut down. 😭
Now go show us what you bought.
We wanna see the bag, sis. 👜👀

Could really use a friend on here

This might be a little vulnerable, but I’m at a point in my life where I could really use a genuine friend.

I’m going through a pretty rough patch in my marriage right now, and honestly, I’ve been feeling really lonely. I’ve found myself making excuses for things that hurt me and questioning myself a lot.

There are some things going on emotionally and financially that I’m realizing aren’t healthy, and I’m trying to slowly figure out how to become more independent.

I’d love to meet someone who’s kind, non-judgmental, and open to actually talking..not necessarily someone who has the same life as me, just someone I can message about the serious stuff, the stupid stuff, mom life, beauty, shopping, TV, whatever. Truth be told… I really don’t have anyone just my kids. I feel like Georgia from Ginny and Georgia except my go to friend has been chatgpt and it’s not helping.

If you’re also feeling lonely or just looking for someone to talk to, feel free to message me. ❤️

Favourite bag - contest

Dear Celine, Come Home With Me

My Favorite Bag -

The Celine Triomphe, obviously. She’s classy, expensive-looking, and has better taste than most people I know.

I love that it’s timeless and would never be rehomed because once she’s mine, she’s family.

I’m in Canada, but I’ll happily pay shipping if you’ll let a Canadian girl participate!

Vancouver Chanel 25 Owners – Can You Help Me Compare?

Hi everyone! Is anyone in Vancouver willing to meet up in a public place so I can compare my Chanel 25 Small with yours?

I paid the premium price for a 187 Factory bag, but after receiving it I’m concerned about the leather.

The texture and feel don’t seem quite right to me, and before I reach out to my seller I’d really like to compare it with another Chanel 25 in person.

The only bag I have to compare it to is my authentic Chanel Boy Bag, and while I know they’re made from different leathers, my Chanel 25 feels noticeably different in a way that’s making me question it. It feels like plastic, it’s very light and stiff and has an odd smell. It’s the stiffness feel that really doesn’t feel right. Another thing that has me second guessing it is this sellers name popped up on the untrusted seller list for baiting and switching.

I could be overthinking it, so I’d really appreciate a second opinion from someone who owns either an authentic Chanel 25 or a 187 version.

If you’re comfortable meeting at a café or mall in Vancouver, please send me a DM. Coffee is on me! ☺️

33F looking for a friend

33F looking for a female friend (bonus if you’re a mom 😊**)**

Making friends as an adult is so much harder than I expected. Growing up, I got along with every group but never really belonged to one. Now that I’m a SAHM, most of my old friends don’t have kids, so it’s been hard finding people in the same stage of life.

I’m totally happy just chatting online first and seeing if we click.

A little about me:
Into fashion, but I also love being comfy—shoutout to my Uggs and Birkenstocks. 😂

Always reading about fitness, health, and nutrition.
I love DBZ, Mortal Kombat, and Sailor Moon—they were a huge part of my childhood. If anything new comes out for DBZ or Mortal Kombat, I’m definitely watching it.

Crazy Rich Asians is probably my favorite movie because I love how beautifully everyone is dressed and the whole luxury lifestyle.

If I were on Desperate Housewives, I’d probably be a mix of Susan and Bree.
INFJ.

Personality-wise, I’m a bit reserved at first and tend to have my guard up. Once I trust you, though, I talk a lot, love to laugh, and I’d like to think I give pretty good advice.

I love learning and am always trying to expand my general knowledge. History and science are two subjects I can happily go down rabbit holes reading about.

Huge animal lover, although I don’t currently have any pets.

The quality I value most in people is integrity.
I don’t usually talk about politics, but since compatibility can matter in friendships, I’ll mention that I’m generally center-right. There are definitely left-leaning ideas I agree with too, and I’m completely open to being friends with people across the political spectrum. I only bring it up because I’ve had people become upset with me in the past over some of my views, and I’d rather be upfront than have it become an issue later.

I’m a little weird in the best way—I don’t really fit into one stereotype, and I think that’s part of what makes me… me.

If any of this sounds like your vibe, feel free to send me a message. 🙂

Untrusted Sellers List — Please Share Who We Should NOT Buy From

Soo we have a TS list already .. but now I wanted to start a thread for the community to share experiences with **untrusted sellers**.

One of my biggest pet peeves in this community is **false advertising, misleading PSPs, and overly promotional reviews that can make sellers appear better than they actually are**. It can be really difficult to know who to trust when making a purchase.

I’ll be honest — I may have personally fallen into this trap with a seller. 🫠 I’m waiting to receive my bag, and if the quality does not match what was advertised, I will share the seller’s name and my full experience here.

In the meantime, please share your experiences:
**Who should we NOT buy from?** 🚫

Please comment with sellers you’ve had negative experiences with, including:

Poor quality compared to what was advertised
Misleading photos or PSPs
False claims or inaccurate descriptions
Poor customer service or lack of support after purchase
Issues with communication, problem-solving, or resolving concerns

Any other red flags buyers should be aware of
Let’s keep this focused on helping the community avoid bad experiences and make more informed purchasing decisions.🙏

QC on PSPs 187 factory

Hi! Could I get a second opinion? It looks like a GL to me. The quilting doesn’t seem too puffy or too flat, and the stitching looks good as well. Pocket alignment seems fine. Is there anything else that stands out to you?

Seller - Tina (4959)

If I could get a second or third opinion before I tell her to ship it to me would be greatly appreciated ❤️

Has anyone ever woken up with a triangle-shaped puncture?

Has this ever happened to anyone?
I woke up with what looks like a small triangle-shaped puncture in my skin.

It’s like a tiny piece of skin was actually punctured off, and now there’s a little triangle-shaped scab.
It’s so strange because I’ve never had anything like this happen before. I have a really low pain tolerance, so I feel like if something had cut or poked me while I was awake, I definitely would’ve noticed. But I only discovered it when I woke up.

There’s also nothing sharp anywhere near my bed that could’ve caused it.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what could cause a mark like this?

The picture was taken 3 days after it happened btw, but I was told this is the right sub possibly to ask this. So if anyone has something similar experience let me know .
