CC mini souplissimo flap arrived 🎊
Reposted as didn't include all photos 🤍
Hi everyone,
My 26b CC 20cm mini souplissimo flap arrived yesterday and I couldn't contain my excitement at how amazing it looks in person. Everything exceeded my expectations for the price point (I paid $265USD excluding shipping, XC factory through TS Mandy).
First of all, I haven't seen the auth in person as this bag is quite new and hard to find from what I gathered online. I obtained some images from VC of the auth and did a comparison between XC version and auth. And to my surprise, it's pretty close - you can see very subtle differences like placement of grommets, back pocket and CC logo sits a bit higher on the auth, but other than that, you can't even tell unless you have them next to each other (I've attached side by side photos).
The leather feels amazing and absolutely no fufu or unpleasant smell (coming from someone with extremely sensitive nose). It's slouchy but still hold structure. The tone of the hardware is not brassy or overly yellow, it's the perfect light gold.
The interior lining is great as well, no major callouts or complaints in terms of leather quality. The only "flaw" I would point out is the inner lining of the back pocket is quite stiff and hard on touch compared to the interior. Moreover, the turnlock can be a bit stiff within the first couple of uses but it's a lot better now.
The strap is comfortable to wear, although I did hang it up over my closet door to straighten and remove the dent from how it was originally packaged.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this bag from XC/Xiao C factory. My second rep purchase is a success! Happy to hear everyone's thoughts ☺️🤍
