hiii i am trying to get my hands on these ysl bags from black frame
the first quote is from amanda - $207 without shipping
the second quote is from joyce -$399 without shipping
joyce is telling me that amanda is trying to sell me a dupe, i can’t tell who is scamming me, please help me (i do know there is a size difference but no way that’s going to cause it to double the price)
This is my first bag purchase and would love any help on evaluating this bag from Aline. Looks good to me, am I missing anything?
Let’s talk full-set packaging! 👀
Do you ladies usually order the extras or nahhh?
I’m not curious about just one specific brand like Chanel—all luxe brands are welcome in this convo! 🫶
I know there are concerns about the risk of customs seizing packages when they’re sent with full-set packaging, is this really true to say?
For those of you who have ordered the whole shebang, what did it actually include? Box, tissue, ribbon, receipt, etc.?
How much extra did it cost you for the box, and how much additional were you charged for shipping?
Did it look authentic ? Would you order for the fullset experience again?
Was it actually worth it? 👀
If you have any pictures, please drop them in the comments so we have an idea of what is expected!
I wasn’t sure how I felt about the Lindy at first, but seeing it sitting like this… I get it now. 😂
The slouch, the leather, the contrast stitching, the slightly awkward-but-cute shape…. somehow it all works.
For those who own a Lindy: does it become even slouchier with use? And do you actually find yourself reaching for it as an everyday bag?
Guys! i just got this from Tina and I’m truly obsessed. I was super close to buying the auth but decided not to when I saw a ton of glue stains on the auth bag they offered me at the boutique. (they offered me replacement but I declined)
This is from xiaoC factory and it was $330. I went with xiaoC because 187 doesn’t have the shiny version hardware yet.
The only difference i see on this bag is that the logos are a bit smaller than the auth. But other than that the chains are actually super well made and everything works rlly smoothly.
Shipping took two weeks and I asked for the chanel box for $30 more.
Anyways, I’m super happy with this purchase!!
Comment below if you’d like her contact.
Thought I would share for all flamenco lovers!
Loewe med flamenco burnt red and quitian version.
I only got into reps last month and I am obsessed now 😥😂
I was actually impressed how close the quitian version is, lookwise.
Feelwise also feels super similar.
The glorious leather smell from the main one is impossible to replicate though lol.
Which seller and factory can I use to find a Hug Bag XS? I received this image from a contact (seven buy), but I haven't found anything about them here. Could someone recognize the factory?
One of 3 last orders of 2026 arrived.
This isn’t a rep. This cannot be a repped bag. It’s perfection, and I literally screamed. I expected a good quality bag. I ordered 5 from OC, 5 from hyper Peter. But this bag? I will happily give away ALL my reps for this one.
I wanted high tier. I wanted this to be my last purchase of 2026 so my budget was $400. I decided to use new seller, I haven’t worked before with.
I messaged Freya, I explained what were my expectations, I told her which bag I wanted, told her my budget. And Freya got to work, I also explained that there was a lot of contradictory information on Reddit regarding factories, and I knew the names were only for us. So I asked which tier is the highest for the specific product. Freya told me MB 🏭 Reddit isn’t great when looking at this factory, a lot of information from older subs, new information from newer users. I attached screenshot of Freya opinion, this bag is proof to me, that Reddit reviews aren’t always what it ought to be. Sometimes we have to buy a bag and either love it, or hate it.

Hello ladies. I got this loro piana bag as a gift and I’m aware it is a rep. However, can i wear her with confidence? It looks good to me, but I’m really bad at spotting imperfections. Thank you 🤗
I don't see it on Chanel website anymore but saw it at my local NM for $1350.
Ordered this baby from Wendy, I'm a size 39.5 but 40 for auth Chanel. This rep is size 41. Perfect fit and I can still wear my stocking thin ankle socks.
I paid $157 incl shipping and paypal fee of $5 on Aug 6, PSP Aug 10 and they were delivered this morning.
My sole is around 26.6cm around there but normally needs insole of 27cm and this translates to 41 for Wendy's shoes chart. For Chanel ballet flat I would need size 42 due to the narrow fit.
Overall I would buy again from Wendy (this was my first). In the past I bought from Maya mostly. I bought or attempted to buy from Lucky, but i haven't received my shoes as of today after I paid 9 weeks ago.
Just wanted to share my recent clothing haul from my TS Leo (+86 19120637469). Everything is top tier quality. Leo is very responsive, easy to work with for QC problems, and ships fast. I think my favorite piece from this haul is the scarf top. Very versatile and chic!
Wow! I just had to come and and post. Has anyone ever worked with Lina? I found her information on TikTok and thought I’d reach out about a bag I was looking for. I didn’t think I was being inappropriate. I am entitled to my opinions and expectations. But I also am a customer and I have the right to choose to buy something or not and not be called “demanding.” I absolutely know there are no 1:1. There are things I accept because I know it’s a rep and it’s fine, but there are other things I know that would bother me so I don’t get it. Why would I pay 3x the price for something that bothers me and I still have to accept? I might as well get the cheaper ones!
She says “if you want high quality, you must accept this price” but then says a “copy is always a copy quality.”
Definitely stay away from this one. She is ripping people off for sure!! This bag is probably from one of the same factories everyone else is looking at! The audacity! Sorry I had to vent!

Another rep sub being called out. It seems RepTime decided against going private. Articles like this took down repladies (rip).
This is one of the reasons why I don’t post brand names, direct seller information, or other unnecessary identifying details. Discretion isn’t gatekeeping; it’s doing what we can to avoid making the community, its members, and its resources an easier target. Though obviously that may not be enough to protect RepTime, I believe it helps with trademark infringement arguments on Reddit.
The article itself is incredibly detailed and if anything is an advertisement for buying reps lol. The article ends by saying that buying reps “ultimately fails to offer joy that’s more than skin deep,” which feels like a weak discouragement, perhaps because the authors failed to find issues related to quality, price, or the legality of buying reps for personal use.
I recall “do you wear reps in the boutique?” being a common discussion question in here. Here’s an article showing you that SAs really can’t tell when it comes to a high tier rep 😂
What are your thoughts on the article?
This is my first attempt, but I can't tell if it's good or not. I hope to get some advice. Was I right to buy it
I just received my Multipochette Accesoires from Hyper Peter and I couldn't be happier! I've had this rep before from another seller and it was low tier, I can't even compare. It was too good not to share, no incentives were offered for this review. I couldn't be happier 🤩🤩 their service was awesome too. I'm located in the US. It also included the coin purse but I forgot to attach it for the pictures
Total paid $214.

Just stopping to show a pic of the small haul I got and to say I had a great experience with Lucky 4964. Very responsive and patient with questions. Purses from 187 factory. If anyone wants close ups or has questions, I’ll be happy to send them. Lighting in this spare room of mine is terrible.
Hello ladies I was wondering if you any of you ladies have managed to find this bag ? Its gorgeous
Which one would you prefer. Confused between these. Please help me choose.
my sixteen stone finally arrived! stacking king for a reason. pairs beautifully with my 6-prong solitaire. obsessed with this sparkle!!
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.
