I tend to wait until I have worked with a seller on multiple items before posting a review. I’ve had instances where the first item or two was great, and then the quality declines on subsequent orders. So I prefer to wait and then feel I can offer a helpful and honest take on the quality, product and service I received.

I have ordered 5 pairs of glasses from Janie - 3 prescription and 2 just frames/sunglasses - and ever since pair has been excellent!!!!

The first 3 pairs were Tom Ford, ChromeHearts and Prada. I was completely blown away at the quality as I had tried on the glasses in a large department store and knew exactly what they were supposed to look and feel like. 10/10 on those!

Most recently, I placed an order with Janie on 7/22 and sent in my and my spouse’s prescriptions for Tom Ford and JMM frames. Janie followed up with me a couple days later requesting a specific measurement for pupillary distance which I provided to her. Unfortunately one of the measurements was incorrectly given to me by my optometrist and I didn’t realize that until several days later when the lenses were made. I had accepted that the error was 100% my fault, but Janie worked some magic and was able to get the lenses replaced with the correct measurements!!!! That is AMAZING customer service right there!

The glasses arrived on 8/10 via FedEx, and I paid a little extra ($30) for faster shipping which I thought was very reasonable.

The glasses arrived perfect! My Tom Fords really blew me away as I had tried them on at Bloomingdale’s; they were a newer model and $695 there! I was utterly shocked when I opened the case and they were 1:1 as best I could tell!

Janie is all about taking care of her customers and is a wonderful communicator. She kept me updated during the process, requested information when needed, and let me know when the glasses were shipped.

She is 5/5 for me so far, and I am happy to write this review for her! I won’t go to anyone else for glasses in the future! 🥰

Hey guys,

I'm looking for the Moscot Lemtosh in size 46-24-145 with a black frame.

ZoZo Eyewear used to have exactly this version, but unfortunately they don't seem to carry the 46-24-145 size anymore.

Does anyone know other sellers who might use the same supplier/factory as ZoZo, or sellers whose Moscot glasses are comparable to ZoZo in terms of quality?

I'm specifically looking for:

- Moscot Lemtosh

- Size: 46-24-145

- Black frame

- Quality comparable to ZoZo

- Ideally the same source/factory/plug as ZoZo

I've attached a picture of the ZoZo listing for reference.

If you've personally ordered Moscot frames from another seller and can recommend them, please let me know. Yupoo/WeChat seller recommendations are welcome.

Thanks!

QC LV Legacy Square (Limited Camo)
LV Clash Square Low

Directly through Nina Official

Ordering process was pretty easy through WhatsApp.

Legacy glasses are an older model and the camo might be one of those colors that give it a dead give away for being a Rep since it’s super limited. But the clash lows, saw them at LV and were in between TF or LV.

Waiting to recieve in hand to see how good quality is.

This is very first purchase of rep glasses and it’s Cindy, paid all including shipping, frames, Zeiss lenses, 150 euros.

Thoughts?

Hi, I’m looking for a reliable seller who sells the Tom Ford FT5665-B in black

I also need the seller to make and install prescription lenses with my exact prescription.

I can provide all the necessary values such as SPH, CYL, AXIS and PD.

Does anyone know a trusted Taobao seller/shop that can do both the frame and prescription lenses?

I’m mainly looking for good frame quality, accurate lenses and a seller people here have actually had a good experience with.

Photo attached for reference.
Thanks!

I’m writing this after getting them tested at a jewellers and doing a test on the frames myself. I can confirm they are NOT silver.

I paid £52 / $65 for the frames + £21 / $27 for prescription photochromic lenses = £73 / $92 total.

They were sold to me as 100% silver. When I showed them the test results, they admitted the frames aren’t silver said their factory gave them fake certificates. They claim they’re pausing silver frames until they find a new maker, but have not offered a refund to me at all for either frames

It might not be fully their fault the factory sold them fake silver. But you still need to know exactly what you’re selling. They was selling these as genuine silver frames, and when they resold them to me, they should’ve checked first. That’s the part that’s really disappointing.

They’re charging silver prices for cheap metal. No refund offered even after admitting the issue. Avoid Shenzhen McLaren if you’re looking for silver frames.

I didn’t want to write this post about them, but I have to be honest, also if you purchase silver frames from them, I’m sorry as I’m the one who shared them, to this community.

Regarding their other non-silver frames they are still decent, but would just avoid them for silver frames at the moment.

I will next try Jimi next to see if their frames are silver.

Cindy does it again.

Hi!! I’ve decided to rehome my mortal Vagillionaire pair as I just received these in army green from Jimi. Love these but I prefer the army green on my skin tone better!

These are in pristine condition as I just received them a week ago!! Comes with case but does not come with scarf.

I paid $153 total - asking $145 shipped.

PPFF, Zelle, Venmo accepted!

I have POP (proof of purchase) and rehome feedback on my page if needed! ^^

The whole process took 2 weeks from start to finish. We spent a few days choosing models and lens, I ultimately went with Zeiss adaptive 67-98% tint lenses.

I've ordered this model on Ali Express before, and was impressed by the quality of the reps for 60 euro. But Cindy had better pricing on the frame, and of course with the custom lens the price was higher than Ali Express, but the quality of the frame she sourced is much higher.

Here are some comparison photos, where Cindy's is the top and left in the comparison shots. The Ali Express version seems more rectangular, less finished and polished, less curved. Cindy's frame is much closer to the original, has a higher quality plastic with a deep almost brownish black color.

The Zeiss lenses are far superior to whatever the standard lens that is used by whatever factory these are sourced from. I'm only buying from Cindy from now on after this experience.

Not that I need another pair of glasses or sunglasses, but...this community doesn't make it easy on a gitl. 🤣 I had of about 10 pairs of glasses & sunglasses and sent them to her.

She graciously provided my prices for each of them & I finally narrowed it down to two pair. I had a gazillion question and Janie answered each one of them providing thorough explanations of the lenses, the process and the time line from the time the order was placed to delivery time. Timeliness was 3-7 days to process the lenses, shipping: UPS Express 5-10 days (she would cover half the cost $30) or 7-28 day via snail mail. Because I was in no hurry I opted for snail mail.

Payment options were PPGS or AliPay. Total cost of both pair was $278 (includes the 5% PPGS fee). Per Janie: Our prescription lenses are made of high-quality resin materials, featuring anti-reflective and scratch-resistant properties. The lenses also have an ultraviolet protection function - UV400. I took both pair to my optometrist and had them double check everything. Everything checked out &btheybeven commented on the quality of lens. The one thing I forgot to ask was if she offered polarized lenses - I'm good with what she used in the sunglasses. If you wear transition lenses or progressive lenses, she offers those options as well. Overall i am very pleased with both my glasses & sunglasses & will definitely order from Janie again.

\*first two pictures are PCP pictures - other are pictures I took for the review. Sunglasses are actually the lighter color, my lighting wasn't the best. Janie knows that I am writing a review, no discounts were provided as a result of my review. She just asked that I write an honest review of our interaction & the product.

First order from Janie — DITA Intracraft, Chanel A71767 & Loro Piana Mayfair belt | $315 shipped to US
This was my first order from Janie and I wanted to leave a review since Reddit is how I found her in the first place.
Order breakdown:
DITA Intracraft — $95
Chanel A71767 — $65
Loro Piana Mayfair belt — $125
Items totaled $285, Janie discounted them to $280
Upgraded UPS shipping — $35
Total: $315
Paid Sunday, July 26 and received everything Thursday, August 6 in the southern US.

Seller experience
I want to start by saying Janie was very patient with me.
The DITAs actually weren’t my first choice. I initially had a particular LV frame I was trying to find, but she couldn’t source it. Then I gave her a specific T HENRI frame I wanted, which she also couldn’t source. I eventually settled on the DITA Intracraft.
She spent time trying to find what I wanted rather than just pushing me toward something she already had. Communication was good, she sent measurements when needed, and overall I have no complaints about dealing with her.
The upgraded UPS shipping was also pretty quick. Eleven days from payment to my door in the southern US.

DITA Intracraft — $95 — 8/10
Gold frame, black inner lens framing and gradient lenses.
I wanted an aviator and really liked the gradient on this model. I’ve never owned or handled an authentic DITA, so all of my accuracy observations are based on photos of the genuine Intracraft online.
First impression: these look cool. The gradient is excellent and looks great both sitting on a table and on my face. The lenses are very clear, have what appears to be the appropriate engraving and an anti-reflective coating visible from the inside. Hinges are solid with no creaking or looseness.
They also fit true to the measurements Janie provided. I have a fairly wide face and these fit me very well. They’re a little heavy, but comfortable.
There are some accuracy questions, though.
The gold outer frame is considerably shinier/brassier under bright light than I expected from photos of the authentic. It isn’t necessarily unattractive—it can actually look very good—but under something like bright fluorescent bathroom lighting, these things SHINE.
The corners of the black inner frame also look a little sharper/different to me than the authentic photos.
The biggest thing I’m curious about is how that inner frame attaches to the outer frame. From photos, the authentic appears to use something like a tiny recessed screw. On mine, there are two tiny holes with what honestly looks like fishing line running through them. I’ll include a close-up because I’d love to hear from someone who actually owns or has handled the authentic Intracraft.
The branding itself looks good.
The box and accessories are much less convincing. It came with the branded box, cleaning cloth and replica warranty card, but the box doesn’t feel authentic to me.
In terms of overall construction, I’d compare the actual feel to a decent $50–75 pair of sunglasses from a smaller brand. Definitely well above gas-station/flea-market sunglasses, but they don’t feel like an $800 luxury object.
At $95, I think they’re a little expensive considering there are visual/construction differences I noticed immediately. But I really like how they look, the lenses are excellent, they fit me well, and they’re unique enough that I’ll absolutely wear them.
8/10.

Chanel A71767 — $65 — 8/10
I bought these as a surprise for my wife. They’re the all-black butterfly frame with the mother-of-pearl inlay on the temples and dark gray lenses.
Thankfully, she actually liked them.
These are interesting because I’d also give them an 8/10, but for completely different reasons than the DITAs.
They feel roughly like a solid pair of Ray-Bans. The frame material feels sturdy, the hinges are solid, nothing creaks, and nothing feels poorly assembled. At the same time, there’s nothing about the plastic itself that makes me think, “this is a $500+ pair of sunglasses.”
It just feels like normal, good-quality sunglass material.
The mother-of-pearl detail is probably the highlight. It’s flush with the temples, has nice coloration and is subtle rather than gaudy. The branding is also very crisp.
The lenses have good clarity and my wife says they’re comfortable. The measurements Janie provided appear accurate and they fit her very well.
One accuracy difference I noticed after looking more closely at photos of the authentic A71767: the authentic lenses appear to have a subtle gradient that these don’t reproduce. Mine are much more uniformly dark gray.
Again, I’ve never handled the authentic version, so I’m not going to pretend I can tell you how close the materials feel.
Packaging was not convincing. The Chanel branding on the box was actually slightly crooked and the whole thing felt inexpensive. If you’re buying these for the fake luxury unboxing experience, you’re probably going to be disappointed.
But the actual glasses?
For $65, I think these are a good buy. They feel like $65 sunglasses, they look convincing, the mother-of-pearl detail is surprisingly nice, and my wife likes wearing them.
8/10.

Loro Piana Mayfair belt — $125 — 4/10
This was easily the biggest disappointment of the order.
It’s the older black Mayfair with the slightly different buckle from the current model.
Visually, it’s actually pretty good. The buckle shape and finish look convincing to me. The gold tone isn’t excessively yellow or shiny. The Loro Piana stamping on the back is clean. The edges are burnished reasonably well.
Unfortunately, that’s about where my praise ends.
The leather was represented to me as genuine leather. I didn’t get into a discussion about grade, full-grain vs. top-grain, etc., because at $125 I simply expected this to be a nice leather belt.
It isn’t.
The leather is extremely thin and feels plasticky. Even bending it makes me feel like I’m stressing or potentially damaging the inside. The stitching is noticeably thinner and less uniform than authentic photos, and in places the leather actually puckers around the stitching.
After the first wear, the buckle had already put a visible crease across the front of the belt. There’s also a slight bulge on the backside in that area.
The buckle itself seems fine. It feels like a substantial metal buckle and, visually, the finish may be one of the most accurate parts of the belt.
Sizing was also correct. Janie actually sent me a video measuring it beforehand, so there were no surprises there.
But here’s my fundamental problem with this replica:
To me, Loro Piana isn’t really about loudly displaying a luxury logo. The entire appeal is supposed to be exceptional materials and craftsmanship. If you reproduce the buckle and the stamp but replace that material experience with leather that feels like it belongs on a $20 flea-market belt, you’ve replicated the least important parts of the product.
And $125 isn’t cheap for a belt.
For that money I could buy a genuinely nice, thick, full-grain leather belt from a good domestic leather maker. I already own $50–80 belts with leather that feels substantially nicer than this.
If this had been a cheap rep and I knew what I was getting, I’d judge it completely differently. But at $125, I expected a legitimately nice leather belt that happened to replicate a Loro Piana design.
Instead, I feel like I overpaid significantly.
It will hold my pants up. 😂 We’ll see how it ages, and I’ll be interested to see whether the leather starts stretching or deteriorating with more wear.
4/10.

Overall
I have mixed feelings about the haul.
Janie herself was great to deal with. She was patient while I went through multiple frames she couldn’t source, communicated well, provided measurements, gave me a small discount, and the upgraded UPS shipping got everything to me pretty quickly.
The two pairs of sunglasses are good. I’m happy with both despite some accuracy differences, and we’ll wear them.
The belt really changes the value equation for me.
I wasn’t expecting to spend $95 and magically receive sunglasses that genuinely feel like an $800 pair of DITAs. Likewise, I didn’t expect a $125 replica belt to literally become an $800 Loro Piana belt.
But that’s part of the appeal of buying reps: you’re hoping the haul feels like you got way more product than you paid for.
Had these felt remotely like $800–900 sunglasses and an $800 belt, I would have been beyond happy with $315 all-in.
Instead, the DITAs feel roughly like good $50–75 sunglasses, the Chanels feel appropriately priced around $65, and the $125 belt feels dramatically cheaper than belts I already own that cost half as much.
So while I like two of the three items and had a good experience with Janie, overall I came away feeling like I overpaid for the haul.
One last question for everyone here: has anyone found a seller/factory making genuinely good T HENRI reps? That was actually what I was trying to buy before I settled on the DITAs. If you’ve bought one you’re happy with, I’d love to know the seller and see some photos.
