My first purchase!!!

I ordered two Cel bags (Triomphe and small Nino) and a panthere watch from Doris. Really went for it on my first order and have already placed two more! Wanted to share the things I got and the timeline since I thought these posts were SO helpful before placing my order

6/11 - contacted her for pricing on the items I was interested in
6/12 - sent payment via PPFF
6/13 - received my first PSP for a bag, we went back and forth for a minute but I was unhappy with the off center placement of the stamp on the buckle and she agreed to swap it for me
6/15 - received PSP for the watch and gave her the GL to ship
6/16 - PSP for both bags - the replacement and the other one I ordered. I approved and she shipped. I also received tracking for the watch at this time
6/17 - received tracking for bags
6/22 - received watch
6/27 - received bags, wore the crossbody out, and my husband dropped it IN THE ROAD and scratched the hardware 😑 but oh well! I love that for reps, I can have beautiful bags and things that I don’t have to stress about damaging or “looking worn.” Actually when he dropped it the first thing I did was stare angrily and say “you are SO lucky we didn’t spend over $4k for that bag.”

Triomphe was $187
Nino was $178
Shipping for those was $54

Watch was $198 + $49 shipping

No weird smells, bags are gorgeous, we’re well packed - not smooshed or anything - and working with Doris was great. It was definitely scary sending so much money off but she was very responsive (and has continued to be!) and didn’t seem annoyed or anything while answering all my possibly stupid newbie questions whether. Overall I am very pleased with my first order and thrilled to have discovered this whole world. I’m sure there might be callouts someone with more experience might have pointed out, but I still love them and am happy with my purchases. I’ve always loved nice bags but they have never been in reach so this is truly so exciting and so fun.

PSP Kata Rodeo

Just got my PSPs for my Rodeo. I think the front looks a little tall and it def doesn’t slouch like I expect from the factory photos, though I do think I can ask for more photos and it has to do with positioning. I have read the leather starts a little stiff so I’m not super concerned about the slouch, but is the front too tall? Any other callouts? Any help is appreciated!!

Celine Triomphe QC Help

Hi! Very new to the world and decided to go for my first bag. I have chosen a Celine Triomphe from Doris - it is $210 with shipping. I’m not positive how *picky* I can be so any tips or notes would be appreciated. The main thing I am noticing will make my eye twitch is that Celine is not centered on the top of the hardware and the hardware looks a little more dull/very yellow compared to the catalog photos? I assume this is something perfectly fine for me to point out? Anything else I should mention? Photos 6-8 are from the catalog, everything else are my PSPs.

Thank you all!!
