This is my first ever rep purchase. It arrived today! I paid my deposit of $50 to Heidi on 5/1. I received PSP on 5/10. I GL and paid the remainder by PP on 5/10. I got proof of shipment by FedEx on 5/14. Received it today- 5/22. It’s a 23CF in light rice apricot from 187 King.

Overall, it looks nice. A little peachier in person than it looked in pics (I was expecting closer to ivory). Smells like good leather—no chemical smell. The snap on the inside is not magnetized, so it’s hard to close unless you really press hard into the back of the purse (I’m not sure if that’s the case with authentic also.). Only thing I don’t love is the chain. The links are occasionally not sitting in the right position and there’s a portion of the leather that sticks out of the chain where the strap ends. I have close-up pics and would love your experienced feedback.

My first one!!!!! How did I/she do?

The only thing that’s throwing me off are the straps 🥲

Hello! My toddler has an obsession with tomatoes and I’m dying to get my hands on this charm from Loewe. Anyone have recommendations on who may have them? I checked with Baobao but she said the one in her catalogue doesn’t open up like the real one so I was hesitant to commit.

Bag thoughts:
I love this bag. The color and material are perfect – exactly what I hoped for. Compared it to my friend’s auth, and it’s about as good as it gets. After nearly 10 months of heavy use (I wear it all the time), it’s held up beautifully. No loose stitches, glazing is intact, and the hardware still has its shine. Very minimal signs of wear.

Seller thoughts (Emily):
Emily is wonderful – super quick to respond, answers all questions patiently, and sends extra photos and info without hesitation. She’s so sweet and easy to work with.

Factory thoughts:
Truly impressed with LS Factory on this one. Great quality for the price. Would definitely buy from them again.

Got these new ballet flats in last month and I’m obsessed! Zippy has become my go-to for shoes and just placed another order for summer shoes. Ordered April 10, received PSP April 15 and received the shoes April 22!
I’ve seen some reviews saying to size up when ordering from them, but I’m personally true to size.

Seller: Max

Factory: 187 Factory

Price: $420 USD + $50 USD shipping

Size: 15 × 32 × 11.5 cm

Timeline: PSPs came pretty quickly and shipping was smooth overall.

Thoughts about the bag: I was debating between the wine red and black color at first because both looked really good in the PSPs 😭 but I ended up choosing black since it felt more timeless and easier to style daily. In person the leather feels soft with a nice structure, and the bag keeps its shape really well without feeling too stiff.

The gold CC hardware contrasts nicely with the black leather and gives it a really classy look. Stitching and edge finishing looked clean overall and the shoulder straps are comfortable enough for daily use. I also like the bowling bag shape because it feels a bit different from the usual flap styles while still looking elegant.

Thoughts about the factory: Overall really happy with the quality from 187. The leather grain, shape, and hardware all looked solid in person and the bag arrived well packaged.

Final thoughts: Definitely one of my favorite recent pickups. Super easy to style and feels like one of those bags that works with almost any outfit.

Hi Ladies, I’ve ordered this LV and just received the QC photos. It looks good to me with the exception of one bit on the side that I’ve circled - it looks a little dented, but is it enough not to GL? Thanks!

I love this vintage Chanel, looks so good. I don’t know about you but I’m a big fan of vintage style bags, like this one.

The only thing I notice is that the side doesn’t fold in as much as an authentic? This will be my first rep, but the bag needs to be unclockable so please help.

This is the small size.

First picture is from God factory, second photo is redelux 2021 light beige authentic Chanel and third photo is newer version authentic Chanel in large caviar

Soo is it obvious to buy this old version of this light beige CF of Chanel from 2021… It was so hard to find this exact color as authentic online… seems rare. I really like the light beige lambskin look, I know they have the mini one of light beige out now on website. I already have the caviar black, white caviar.. just wanted to switch it up but if it this is too rare and obvious then might just do the caviar beige since it’s up to date Need your opinions.. what do you think

Hi guys, I'm just wanting to write about my experience with Mandy. Might be a little bit controversial since a lot of people rave about her, but I feel like I wouldn't be doing my due diligence if I didn't talk about this.

So I ordered two bags, a Speedy P9 20 UB, and White P9, as well as a replacement strap for a P9 that I already owned, and was told by Mandy that they were being sourced from Royal. Let me get straight into it.

The bags? I don't know where to begin. They were shipped within one box, but the way they were stuffed into the box was unacceptable. Basically, one of the P9 pillows was placed outside. I'm assuming this was to save space, because the UB speedy was placed inside the white one. This caused every single leather item of the White speedy to be...not straight? Everything was bent to hell.

Further, both bags had quality issues. For the UB Speedy, the logo on the zipper pull was not only wonky, but also, there appears to be a small...smudge of some sorts, or damage to the leather. Was told to wipe it off, but obviously it wasn't something that can be wiped off. Not only that, but the little hardware on the inside where the card holder pouch attaches to, wasn't even attached properly. It was rolling about at the bottom of the bag. I know it's not unusual, but the black speedy also had nothing protecting the handles and hardware on arrival, but also, there was no plastic covering the metal logo inside. I kind of just chalked it to being someone else's returned bag, or a used bag, but Mandy kept insisting that it was new and good quality.

The other thing I noticed was how the straps of the White Speedy was cut. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but I'll include photos of my straps for my other P9. I guess the best way I can describe it is nearing the end, where the clasps are, the leather is meant to seamlessly blend into the back of the strap? But for the white one, they seem to just be lazily cut off. I looked into other people's bag that are from Royal, and their one seems to be done correctly. The pieces of leather of the white speedy also didn't feel like leather? If anyone else has one, and if they have another P9 to compare it to, I hope you know what I mean. The luggage tag, straps, etc of this white one feels like...I'm not sure, foam? Plastic? Even the handles of the bag feel a bit off.

Now briefly, the smell of the bags. The black one smells slightly fine, but the white one has an extremely profound plastic smell. The scent was definitely different to when I received my old P9 from a different seller, which smelled straight up like leather. The way I can describe the smell of the white one is that it had the scent of a plastic backpack you'd buy a child.

I've brought up all the issues to Mandy, and wanted to send the bags back for a refund. The replacement straps from my haul was quite literally the only good thing. Mandy however only offered to refund the UB one, but she did let me keep it. But honestly, I don't think I'll ever use any of the bags. I'm just extremely disappointed from this experience.

I hope this can help others out there. I really didn't want to write this review out, but again, I feel like I wouldn't be doing my due diligence had I kept this to myself.
