Alright experts, I’m sure you probably have heard of this debate on and on for years now. But I am constantly searching and I am still in a pickle about it. Just to specifics I am targeting the medium CF in black caviar leather and GHW. Here’s the thing… as much as I want to say fuck it ima go 187 because EVERYONE says it for a reason. But I’ve just been hearing the quality of 187 CF has been going down. Now Im sure some of you seen that one Reddit post ( shout out to her ! ) that did a comparison of her authentic black caviar GHW to 187 vs GOD vs OF vs others…and honestly it really opened my eyes. Here are the prices I’m quoted (from Felix) without shipping:

187 - 560USD
OF - 429
GOD - 414USD

Yeah…that’s a big jump. Now I want to just mention the other reason I am asking about this is because those reviews of comparing the factories with authentic were quite old. New batches of the product comes in whenever and I just want really want to know if anyone has gotten a CF RECENTLY from those factories and if you still think 187 is justifiable. Of course 187 has built its reputation up for quality and closest to authenticity, and the leather to the authentic. But I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to just go and try OF as my first CF rep….

Each factory has a different leather feel. Different gold hard ware from the auth. The stitches are different. MOST THINGS ARE. And just to clarify I am not specifically looking for the CLOSEST TO THE AUTH (I wish lol) because simply 1:1 does not exist. I am looking for quality to price basis.

Let me know what you guys think as well. And I appreciate any advice or comments.

QC - crease on maxi flap

Hi guys! I got PSP of this beautiful CC burgundy maxi flap in 38cm from Cao (2986). Factory is unknown as she does not like to disclose it. Now I’ve done my own QC and here’s what I like:

Like;
\- the logo position seems to be accurate to the auth
\- the colour is lovely the lighting might not do it justice but I loveee it
\- hardware actually is pretty decent, I’ve compared it to the auth and I can say that the flatness is there
\- Cao showed a video of the slouchyness and flappiness of the bag which I absolutely love 😂

Dislike;
\- is it just me or is there a weird crease on the front flap. I’ve inserted an image of me circling it… do tell me if I am being dramatic about it
\- I have requested to show more on the gold stamp inside as I can’t really see it

Overall I am excited for it! But do tell me if I’m dramatic about the crease because as much as I’d love to fix I don’t think this can be fixable with conditioner or something else right? GL or RL. Thank you so much guys !

Hey guys I just pulled the trigger on this second hand Bayswater mulberry bag in oxblood…absolutely BEAUTIFUL bag. I paid £290 in total for it. I attached the photos of the bag just want some opinions on the overall quality of the bag and if it was worth the price I have paid. It’s my first ever mulberry bag and I thought I got a bang for the buck… any advice would be appreciated! I’m planning on maybe bringing it for restoration too :D also if anyone could check that it’s real it would be much appreciated!!

Alright guys, this is just a general question and honestly I want to know because it is def one of my list of things I really want, do any factories produce Mulberry bags or are they just not popular enough/not worth producing did it not being that different in pricing for a rep? Is Mulberry just not as popular?

Alright my mind is in a bit of a boggle rn… I am planning to get the maxi flap 32cm in black leather with gold hardware. Now from what I know I believe only Rome factory is doing gold hardware for maxi flaps in black and in that size… I been told by some sellers that OF does it as well. And honestly I am soo stuck between the two. I have heard amazing reviews on both and price are not that different from each other. Does anyone have both of them in maxi flap and which would you prefer???

Alright the infamous unknown factory we recently found out was YoYo. I recieved today the PSP for the bag. I ordered the CC maxi flap 38 in burgundy and gold.. paid 300USD including shipping. Can the experienced help me QC please?? Is it just me or the leather looks abit glossy? Does the gold hardware look extremely yellow? Should I RL? Waiting for my seller to also show me the slouch 😭 I have attached the factory pictures should he last 3.

Hey guys I recently “bought” this beautiful bag from a seller I usually used for stuff like sunnies so I thought I could trust him. I did some research but I couldn’t quite put my finger on this factory setup… I paid $300 including shipping cost for this bag… do you know if this factory actually makes high tier quality bags.. that is what I asked for. Just waiting for PSP to come over now…

Hi guys, my dream bag that I have been eyeing for DAYS is the maxi flap 38cm in burgundy gold. I’ve contacted SO many sellers with different prices. I want good quality genuine leather that will last me for CENTURIES and look closest to the auth. I’ve been looking through this reddit thread and found there are some reviews already for the maxi flap however I am farely new to the game. I want the best quality but also the most bang for the buck ;)

Hi guys please help!!! I’m from the UK. KiKi is 6 years old female, neutered.The first image is when I found out about my cat’s eye infection, we don’t know what caused it so the vet gave some antibiotic eyedrops, normal eyedrops and pain relief. The second picture is day 3, it seems to have gotten bigger, but I wasn’t too sure when the medicine would properly start working. The last picture is today day 5 and it seemed to have gotten bigger and red !! Any help would be appreciated to what could this be! I’m bringing her to the vet next morning but I was hoping to bring her for a check up after the prescribed 10 days of medication they gave.. I am a university student and a main career of my cat so vet is expensive for me but I will always try and give them the best treatment so if it’s necessary then it is! is this something I should be worried about? I checked online that medication can hit day 3 or till day 7 and some it saying that I should get it checked out… please any advice would help thanks !
