First pic is OF and second is 187. I want this in the medium size. Heidi said she could get the second pic from 187, but I’m unsure how long the wait will be and I want this for fall. I have another TS who said he could get the first pic from OF.
Has anyone gotten this recently and if so what factory?
Can I get some opinions on the colour?
Does it look like the same colour to you guys, or does the PSP look more reddish-brown? I know the lighting can make it look slightly off sometimes but I keep seeing a cool shade brown which is what I wanted versus warm shade in the PSP photos.
The last picture is the authentic bag I tried on in store and factory photos looked accurate to that shade.
Plz help
Hello! It’s my first time buying a bag and would like some advice on what to ask and look out for? Have you made any recent purchases that you love?!? I need some inspo if it’s allowed. I found a few sellers researching in the sub so I won’t ask. I’ve had my eye on a few bags such as the larger puzzle and aventure bags. Thank you 😊
Ciao everybody, I have discovered this community this summer and have recently pulled the trigger -- will let you know soon (hopefully!) about my first purchase.. meanwhile I have a question regarding G*yard as daily handbag for office -- what is your experience? I have been using an authentic Chanel GST for the last decade, and it can really carry *a ton* while remaining compact and elegant. Now it is really time to send it to the spa for a refresh, and I have been thinking about a G*yard (Artois or Anjou) in black or burgundy. My doubt are the handles... I usually have wallet, keys, cellphone, laptop (13 inches), a small paper notebook and a pen case, lip balm and a comb. What is your experience? And what might be a strong alternative in the rep world? thanks a lot, sorry for my English and thanks for having me in this community!
Happy saturday friends 🫶
I saw that this silver C25 from OF was on sale, and it was calling me. I know there’s also a version with gold hardware, but I prefer the all-silver one. I find it a bit more neutral and easier to style.
This is my third C25 that I’ve kept. I’ve owned a few others in the past but ended up selling them. OF is definitely my favorite factory for the C25 until now. 187 will probably top that, but I haven’t bought one from them (yet).
ABOUT THE BAG
In the picture with all three bags, the dark grey one is also from OF, while the light blue one is from Blake. The differences aren’t huge, but I do prefer the caviar on the OF bags. The grain is more pronounced and consistent, whereas on my Blake bag, there are a few spots where it looks a little flatter. The leather on the OF bags also feels a bit nicer to me.
The silver one is just as good. The caviar looks great, the grain is really nice, and there’s no smell at all. It has a nice weight to it, and the hardware does too. Very happy with this one!
I also bought authentic Moon Boots with silver on sale last winter, and I’m really hoping we get a very cold winter this year so I can finally wear them with this bag. The silver together with the boots looks stunning (see last picture).
ABOUT THE SELLER
Bella was lovely to work with, just like the last time I ordered from her. She’s really nice to talk to, communication is easy, and the whole process was great again. I’d happily order from her another time. I had originally ordered the new denim with shiny hardware, but the factory sent her the mini by mistake, so I decided to switch to silver.

VERDICT
If you’re considering a silver C25, I can definitely recommend this one! I think the sale has ended by now, as it was a special discount directly from the factory, but it was a great deal while it lasted.
Hello, I just received my first order from Ashley (0509) after I saw an haul from her with a product I liked.
As this was my first experience and I was a bit scared I didnt order much, and she had a sale going on, so I decided to place my order.. I got a D1or jumper (550cny) and a pair of Ch@nel flats (760 cny).
With shipping and discount I spent 1290 cny, paid with Paypal.
Communication with Ashley was fine, I have to say that a few times I had to text her again to get an answer but I think mostly because there was a Holiday going on in China.
She has been really nice when I asked help for the sizing and for more pictures and send me plenty, and videos as well.
I really like both the jumper and the shoes!
Overall I will say good experience and will order more from her.

-I recently ordered a 187 black 38cm leather maxi flap from Andy W and after waiting almost 2.5months it finally came!
-I had pre ordered a OF factory tan/beige 32cm suede maxi flap from Mina approx April 2026.
-I have an auth cc cross body ltd edition purse I adore circa 2018. Uggh can't remember where my box and auth card thingy is but Google keeps changing its mind the name of the bag uggh...anywhooo...
1.I love the 187 maxi flap, the leather is great, the grain is fine and looks very close to auth. The cc turnlock is perfect and the details are exact.
2.The OF suede tan 32cm...well...this is a bit of a chameleon! One day looks greenish, then looks bright and light ugggh it's a tad confusing BUT apparently this is what real suede that's excellent quality looks like. You can bet I asked several other TS's when I got the psps whether this was good or not.
I bought the bag from Mina, but I had such trouble with the psps I had a MELTDOWN. I ended up sending my pics to two other sellers I have bought from and trust their judgement.
-Doris told me it was excellent quality and that's how suede looks.OF are known for excellent quality and not to worry when I held the bag I would know. She was right.
-Andy told me OF is really good factory and you can tell its a good bag when you run your hands over it and the colour and feel changes. Which it does. Andy has never steered me wrong and I have bought multiple bags from him. I now don't ask for factories for my bags, instead I show him the bag I want and ask his advice. He has various price points and will tell me which is the best bag for my money.
3.I have a yoyo 38cm taupe maxi flap too, but couldn't add any pics next to these as it's inside my work locker! I've added a pic next to my 187 maxi flap vs yoyo maxi flap (from Andy w).
Tdlr:
-I think the leather maxi flap from 187 is a bit high priced and the yoyo maxi flap is just as good.
-The only difference is the 187 is a bit more structured when empty (but we all saw the auth insta posts showing slouchy vs structured) so it's a batch thing.
-The cc at the end of the zip is flat in 187 black maxi flap and rounded slightly on the yoyo flap. No one can see this.
-The 187 strap has the stitches near to the edges and makes it look thicker, but they are the same size.
-The OF tan 32cm maxi flap is fabulous and I wish I'd got the 38cm instead. It's thick and heavy ish suede so the 38cm probably would have added a lot of weight and I think il get a cheaper suede version for the 38cm or I won't be able to use it for work.
-My auth cc I love, it's battered and I used it daily for years commuting. Need to take it to a cc spa one day.
In a nutshell!......I love the 38cm maxi flap and if you have a work laptop and want to get good use from your bag, buy the 38cm maxi flap!
Get good quality suede so it at least mimics the auth but if you want the bigger 38cm, expect it to be heavy!
I have been wanting for this bag for such a long time! I actually had the authentic version before, but unfortunately I had to sell it when I needed the money. 😭 So I’ve been wanting to replace it ever since.
I did quite a bit of research before deciding where to purchase. I contacted around 4–5 different agents and asked which factory they would recommend. I also posted on Reddit asking for opinions about which factory would be the best choice.
I originally contacted Hyper Peter in April, but I didn’t end up purchasing at that time. He sent me PSPs of a smaller Noé, which wasn’t the size I was looking for.
On August 23, I finally decided to order the Noé from Hyper Peter after reading several reviews about his monogram bags.

REVIEW
⭐ Quality: 10/10
Now that I have the bag in hand, I can give a much better assessment of the quality.
Overall, I am very happy with it. The canvas looks good and the monogram is clean and well aligned. The leather feels nice and the patina service made a noticeable difference to the overall appearance.
The stitching looks neat and consistent, and the hardware has a nice weight and finish. The bag also feels well constructed when handling it.
One thing I particularly appreciated during the ordering process was that when the first bag had a defect, they didn’t simply send it to me. They made a replacement instead. I think this was a very positive part of the QC process.
Pros
* Nice-looking monogram canvas
* Good overall construction
* Stitching looks neat and consistent
* Leather looks and feels good
* Patina service gives the bag a more authentic-looking appearance
* Hardware looks good and has a decent weight
* Replacement was made when the first bag had a defect
* Overall bag feels sturdy and well made
⸻
⭐ Accuracy: 9/10
This is where I paid particular attention because I previously owned the authentic Noé, so I have a pretty good idea of how the bag should look and feel.
Compared with the authentic reference, I think the overall proportions, silhouette and appearance are very close.
⭐ Satisfaction: 9.5/10
I am very happy with this purchase.
The biggest reason is simply that I finally have my Noé back! 😂 I really regretted selling my authentic one, so getting another one in the size I wanted made me very happy.
I also appreciated the fact that the first bag had a defect and they chose to replace it rather than send it to me.
The extra patina service was also worth it for me. I think it makes a big difference to the overall appearance of the bag and gives the leather a more naturally aged look.
I am taking off half a point only because the whole process took longer than I initially expected, mainly because the first bag had to be replaced and the patina service added additional waiting time.
But now that I have the bag in my hands, I am very satisfied with the final result.
⸻
⭐ Service / Communication: 8.5/10
My overall communication with Hyper Peter was good.
He explained that his assistant/booker would handle the QC photos, tracking information, shipping status and after-sales support.
The timeline was a little longer than I originally expected, especially because the first bag had a defect and needed to be replaced.
However, I actually see the replacement as a positive rather than a negative. I would much rather wait longer for a replacement than receive a bag with an obvious defect.
The patina service also took some time. I had to follow up on September 21 because I hadn’t received an update. After contacting Hyper Peter, he sent me the photos the following day and I was able to approve the finished result.
Pros
* Replacement made when the first bag had a defect
* PSPs provided before shipping
* Seller responded when I followed up
* Patina-service photos provided for approval
* DHL shipping
* Communication was straightforward
Cons
* Some waiting between updates
* I had to follow up regarding the patina service
* The process took longer than originally expected

Final thoughts ❤️
I am really happy to finally have my Noé again.
Since I previously owned the authentic version, I had quite high expectations for the shape and overall appearance. After receidefinatelyone, I think it came out really well.
The process wasn’t the fastest, especially because the first bag had a defect and had to be replaced, but honestly, I’d rather wait for a replacement than receive a defective bag.
The extra patina service was also a nice touch and, in my opinion, really helped with the overall look of the bag.
I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend doing your own research and carefully checking PSPs before approving any order. I will definately order again from Hyper Peter !!
Hello! I still consider myself a newbie here and hopefully my first QC post is done correctly!
I purchased this bag from Xiao C during the sale. I was told it was OOS a couple days after purchasing when I was asking for ETA on my PSP. Few days later I guess it was back in stock because then I received my PSP. So here they are!
•My concerns would be what I’ve circled in the photos where it shows hardware not flush with the bag if that makes sense. Im worried I’ll have problems closing the bag correctly.
•The gold hardware also looks yellow compared to factory photos where it’s more light gold, I did ask for more photos in different lighting but still waiting.
•The inside of the bag color looks more reddish than burgundy but again could be due to lighting.
Should I be worried it’s not from Xiao C if I was originally told it was out of stock and then within days it wasn’t?
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
