Finally decided to buy my first rep Chanel bag and honestly I was way more nervous than I expected

I kept overthinking everything before ordering because I’m still completely new to reps, but after receiving it in person I actually think it looks really beautiful. The leather feels soft, the quilting looks nice and puffy, and I really love the vintage gold hardware on this one 。

Of course, I’m sure there are still flaws I can’t notice yet as a beginner ， but overall I’m pretty happy with it so far. I haven’t even had the confidence to wear it outside yet because I keep wondering if people would instantly know it’s a rep lol.

Would love to hear your honest opinions and any advice for a first-time buyer

I love quality and quiet luxury. I can afford authentic, but never buy a rep that would be more than I can pay, around $10k. I just rather have more than a few. I see a lot of speedys and CFs which can be beautiful but I prefer more soft look that is hard to ID if you don't know it. Who makes the best quality? I also need some inspiration, I shop so much I am running out of ideas. What do you have? What's the closest bag you have to authentic? Who's it from? Help a lady out and give me some recommendations on more ideas, clutches, handbags, cross bodies, luggage. I have a lot of black and brown but not opposed Here are some ideas
