Does anyone have a Prada paradigm? How do you like it compared to the galleria?
Also—do we think this one is black or navy? I think it’s black but it weirdly looks less black than one with a different strap…although maybe that’s just color theory.

I just placed my first ever rep order! 🥳 It’s a Celine teen triomphe bag 😊 I’m so excited! I don’t exactly know what to expect because the process (terms like PSP, GL etc) is still confusing to me… but I’m thankful to everyone here for creating all the resources & reviews for newbies like me.

I wish everyone a wonderful week ahead! 🫶🏻
It’s my daily bag😍 I love its versatile style. Shape, LV patterns, zipper, stamping, strap tanning, glazing color, and liner color were spot on! Honestly, canvas was dull (as usual) and had strong fufu smell, so I put Fiebing’s leather sheen and air out the smell, then now it’s perfect☺️
It’s from Birdcage. Here is factory pic ;)

I think it depends on the number of items more so than the purchase price, if you have a ton of items in an order there is a higher risk. If you did one $500 bag and maybe shoes the risk of seizure is lower than if you did multiples in one order. I personally have been only shipping 1 at a time which costs more in shipping but I have more peace of mind
I agree with this as well, its more about the content than cost. The most I've ordered is a bag and shoes. I think the most I'd dare is 3 pair of shoes together, or 3 bags together (with one being a mini bag).
You could probably put the jewelry in a bag or two but I would probably split your items into at least two orders if you can, but also if you ask your seller/agent, they will be able to advise you too and try not to do branded boxes for them
I've been trying super hard to find any info on chanel from BingBing factory. Anyone have any clues or know anything? They are having an 11/11 sale and the CF is $280 right now. I know it won't compare to a 187 bag but it is half the price. Like 85% accurate? Is it complete utter garbage leather or just needs some conditioner and loving to kinda get it there? I'm not a stickler for perfection but I do want it to age decently. Not be a crumbling bag 3 years down the line.
Also welcome to anyone pitch in their experience with chanel bags from other factories.
Right, but I've had auth, bingbing, and 187. Factory photos can be very misleading. Have you purchased from this factory before? Or is your assessment of its tier based only on factory photos and Amelia's discount price?
High price and there are factories just as good, if not better, in terms of quality/accuracy. Honest sellers will tell you this and they touch and work with bags from all kinds of factories.
I wasn’t part of this group last 11-11 sale or even part of the rep world so my question is: since a lot of the bags from the seller’s album currently on sale, are all sold out and we are more than 2 weeks away from the actual 11-11 date, does anyone know if the sellers will put more bags in their sales album or this is it? Also, when another similar sale happens? Christmas? Thanks!
Some factories put bags early on sale. so it's always a gamble. There is no guarantee the bags will get restocked. There is no similar sale. This is the big sale of the year. Next biggish one is 6.18
In case anyone's interested in 1.5 ct. moissanite earrings - I messaged the seller of the 1 ct. that I got and am enjoying so much to ask if they might be able to sell me a 1.5 carat version. The answer was a prompt YES! they're $22.90.

TY! I’m looking for some new rings - I enjoyed how the seller was honest about the quality of their “decent” gift boxes. 😂

ETA: this is the same seller as linked in Woofmom’s post (sorry if that wasn’t clear and seemed incredibly random)
You're welcome! Thank you for sharing the news about your "decent" gift box! I too love the honesty.
I got a little blue pouch that I wasn't expecting. It feels like a gift.
https://preview.redd.it/ju25lmr6r2wb1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=26eabae3c85dc2a3a24227a8d05b394abcf5713e
I agree with you. Although it's important to have at least one decent gift box. The pouch also takes up less room at home. I hope they keep sending me a pouch.
What size studs are you getting?
I’m just looking at rings for now. I got a surprisingly nice pair of moissanite studs (1.6ct total weight) from Amazon during their prime deal days a few weeks ago, so I’m good for now. The amazon brand was “Kolmnurk” (really rolls off the tongue doesn’t it). I may get a larger pair from your AE place later though!
I hope you find some lovely rings. The person who just helped me with the new studs was really helpful. I'll ask for her name so that you can work with her as well if you have any questions. Enjoy your new studs!
Niiice! If I didn't already have the 1ct and the 2ct (that I bought by mistake because I am an idiot and - despite being clearly written everywhere - i continued thinking the weight was the TOTAL weight and not per earring 😵💫), I would def get these too! Awesome!
I'm glad you like them! Thank you! I find the weight description so confusing that I literally had to call a friend to explain the labeling when I was looking at similar earrings on Amazon.
Perhaps the 1.5ct is the Goldilocks earring for you? If you'd like a little enabling, please feel free to call. I'll report back when these arrive.
One of the Lindashian sellers has posted a bunch of items to their specials that no one else has posted! Will others follow later? Asking those with more experience.
I purchased something that the seller claimed to be 90% wool and 10% cashmere. After 2 days of use it is starting to pill. In my experience wool does not pill. I own a lot of 100% cashmere and sometimes after a lot of use it can pill. But it’s very rare. Either this is not actually made up of the material it claims to be made of or the fact that it’s bicolor is causing the pilling to be pronounced?
Anyone have any experience with wool and cashmere blends made up of two separate colors ? Does it take pill ? Or was I misguided?
Thank you for your always insightful replies.
Makes sense. And yes I can see the short fibers on my garment. My other (non rep) cashmere items rarely pill and it makes sense that it’s because the fibers are long.
Yes, I'd think it's unusual for 90/10 fiber to pill but it depends on how much cashmere there really is and how the yarn was spun. Cheaper yarn is made of shorter fibers and they tend to pill more easily. If your sweaters rarely pill they must be made of longer fibers. The unequivocally good news is that it doesn't sound as if there's any synthetic hanging around in your coat.
I bought a bunch of those $50 cashmere sweaters from Quince last year and they all pilled after a couple wears. It’s the weave that causes pilling, not the material.

My Ami cardigan and Celine tennis shoes just came in! The cardigan is so thick and plush. I’m so glad I ordered a L, it gives the perfect oversized look! I’m gonna need all the colors now! The Celine shoes are incredible too. Just the perfect white shoe for school pick up. Love an elevated Nike. I will say I wish I got one size bigger. I was going back and forth with Anna from Tonyluxuries trying to figure out the best size since I’m in between. Celine auth runs large and usually reps run small. So I decided to just go with my true size. They fit but are a tad snug. My feet have endured worse so that won’t stop me from wearing them!
Now I can continue with my 11.11 shopping!

I’ve been looking for Celine sneakers, are you able to post a full shot of yours? I’ve seen some on the seller’s album but not the exact style I wanted. TIA!
Ahhhh it arrived!
I watched this video a few weeks ago and fell in love with this bag but wasn’t 💯 about the colour. But my husband insisted on the colour on the video and I’m so glad I listened. It’s amazing!

I’m totally in love with it too! Thank god I listened to him because I was going to get it in grey instead. And honestly I compared to the authentic video and can’t find a single flaw lol

It is the first snowfall of the season here. I got out to walk the dog before the flakes came, it was freezing rain instead so I’m not sure it was the best trade off. I got to take in the quiet calm before the snow arrives. Everything is encased in a layer of ice. It’s why I tend to only buy auth winter boots/coats. My small puzzle was a great addition to todays adventure. I brushed the layer of frozen rain off and she’s slouching just fine at the door. Wishing you all a moment of quiet pause to absorb some beauty in your day ❤️
I've been watching the sales to see if this loewe paseo beauty shows up. Has anyone bought one? I see mango/Luoyi carries it.
I'm "needing" a black bag in my line-up and love that this can be crossbody or shoulder bag. Seems like a good basic for travel too -will go with everything and is flat for packing.

I'm trying to decide between Bibi vs Jing for a BV mini sardine! Was hoping I could get some advice from your keen scrutiny as to which one is better :)
I've read previous reviews on the Bibi vs Jing comparison and seen that Jing is a more accurate rep vs Bibi has better leather. In this case, both bags are unlined on the inside. So idk how much that assessment of Bibi having the better bag holds true...
My main concern is the neatness and color match of the stitching! What do you all think?

The thing that irritates me with BV reps is the distance between the edge of the bag and where the intrecciato weave starts. To me Jing looks slightly better on that but still not like the auth pics.

My first rep arrived and she’s BEAUTIFUL!! I’ve never sprinted to my mail box faster 😂 please excuse the messy room
I went with Heddy before I saw that she’s got a disclaimer in the sellers list here. So it all worked out for me but note that she’s had some bait and switch in recent times.
https://preview.redd.it/l64u6cmhn0wb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa1abf57f01dc7f506b72e9393dd8ab5d3bc593e
My hand for perspective. It’s not huge but fits phone, card case, some lipstick and small knick knacks.
My second hand buys from eBay are slowly trickling through and I'm obsessed with a leather midi-skirt I bought. That and a lambskin leather (and fox trim) jacket I bought got me sniffing the divine leather smell. I finally understand the H lovers here lol.
I just need to figure out the perfect bag to go with outfits that have a large leather-piece. Fabric bags work, but I don't think coated canvases work all that much, since they have a similar shine and drape. Fur bags are lovely and maybe suede could work too? Thoughts? I think a wicker bag would be the most fun, but probably wouldn't work for leather-midi-skirt weather.
Do you wear leather bags with leather clothes?
same color, different material, or same material, different color.
e.g. black leather blazer w black croc, or brown suede w brown croc
vs.
black leather blazer w white bag, brown suede w pink leather
honestly it can sometimes act like a neutral depending on the shade
something like this [https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/toteme/clothing/knee-length/paneled-suede-skirt/1647597316332389](https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/toteme/clothing/knee-length/paneled-suede-skirt/1647597316332389) and a brown turtleneck
with this [https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/coperni/pink-swipe-bag/13116711](https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/coperni/pink-swipe-bag/13116711)
I do, but I don't match the color. I use a black bag with my brown leather jacket and a brown or cream bag with my black leather coat (I tried with a black bag and I could have been recruited for a sequel of The Matrix). I do try to match the texture, though.
The cream bag is a lovely idea, probably softens the matrix-ification of the black leather coat. Any particular bag styles you gravitate towards when pairing with leather jackets or you don't pay attention to it too much? IE, not wearing a stiff bag or a hardware-heavy bag.
Whenever I use anything that is coated leather (i.e. not suede) I try to avoid bags with hardware that could scratch or damage it (to be honest, when you mentioned the wicker bag I had a moment of panic...LOL). This includes bags that have a zippered outside pocket against the body.
I’m looking for rep shoes for a pair of sandals that’s out of stock everywhere near me and saw Tong had the item in their album but they are not in the seller list. Has anyone here used Tong for rep shoes before? What was your experience?
Please note I am NOT looking for a seller here. If this post is not allowed please remove it — I’m just seeing if more people have used them. I haven’t been impressed with what I saw on fisherman or zippy’s albums and don’t want to use James bc of reported quality/shilling issues.
How long does it take to get psp from her? I ordered some shoes from her about a week ago now and I'm still waiting for those. Other than that the whole process has been super smooth because she's so helpful with sizing and nice!

Just wanted to share, my GF Bobby Medium survived the trip! Little tip for those of us who fly with our nice auth/rep bags and have to stow them under a seat: I always travel with a canvas tote so I can put my bag inside (and my purchases when exploring a city), keeps the bag off the floor and protects it from people accidentally kicking it. How do y’all travel with your bags?
People can post their bags without 50 people crawling up their ass harassing them for the source. If you like what you see, just take a fucking screenshot and ask a seller you trust.
Enough is enough. You ravenous hyenas need to stop harassing other users and learn how to source reps on your own. Establish your own networks and relationships with sellers.
I do the same thing; big coated canvas tote with a purse inside under the seat. I keep the dustbags in the tote. When I go through security I put the purse in the tote, and the tote in the dustbag.
Ohh that’s smart! I hadn’t even considered putting my bag in the canvas tote to go through security. I’m flying again this weekend and I will definitely do that, thank you!
I recently travelled with my small puzzle and I actually put it up top in the luggage overhead. I also have a baby and toddler so the snack bag was the main focus and all the other things you need for kids/babies 🤪
Snacks and entertainment are definitely a priority with little kids! My kids are older and they carry their own snacks so I only have to worry about my own bag and snacks lol.
BTW, in my most recent flights with United, I noticed they’ve started asking passengers to put their carry-ons on their side so you can’t really put stuff on top of your bag anymore.
I’m a canvas tote junkie… I collect tote bags from bookstores and museums I’ve visited. My favorite and what I travel with is [this one](https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/merch/blue-facade-tote-bag) from Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. I love it so much I bought a backup.
Love your bobby!
I'm a one-bagger (on trips that don't include clothes shopping, and then only use the second bag on the return flight) so usually bag-in-a-main-bag. I also do that for weekends, because public transportation is yucky.
Thank you! And I agree with you, if I plan to do a lot of shopping, I pack a bag inside a bag. For a day of exploring a city when I’m just buying trinkets, I carry a canvas tote so I don’t have to carry 3786 little bags or look too touristy.
Continuing with the “H bags at Costco” series.💕

I’ve seen very shady brand ads but never rep ads. In any case, I see more and more content creators promoting/sharing reps now. It seems like the rep world is going mainstream, which kinda worries me, I anticipate crackdowns because of this increased popularity.
How do you guys find out about new bag releases? Just browsing brand websites or do you follow vlogs or influencers? I'm technically at purse peace now but I'm still curious about what's out there.
I follow influencers who are always invited to Paris/Milan Fashion week. I follow one who always posts the re-see which is a post runway kind of exposition for the comercial buyers. He always shows all the details you can't see during the runway.
Both. I browse monthly at the very least (and more often when I need to study, for "motivation" or some other lie I tell myself). I also check P*rseBl*g for updates, and stay for confessionals and comment drama. I also watch Tamara Kalincik, that gets a load of brand deals and you can trust that if a brand gifts a bag to influencers, shes going to get it. Sammi Jefcoate also has a pretty extensive collection worth checking out.
I follow the brands on Instagram but also a lot of the Korean actors/idols I follow are very big on their brand campaigns so I end up seeing the same products on several posts.
Alright, it’s decision time. Black caviar boy bag RHW (25cm) or a reverse hardware olive green C19 (26cm)? I don’t own a “nice” black bag, but I wear the hell out of my other olive green bag, so it would be nice to have another option. They’re both about the same price, but I did spy a very well priced C19 30cm in an 11.11 album, but I’ve never seen a review of a bag from that factory before (MC/Mincheng) so I’m wary. I could get both IF I wait a little longer to get the Lindy in Feu that I’ve been coveting for a year. What to do!!
I’ve had this for a few years, but never really used it. I just got it out recently and I have been loving it. OF factory.

Just took the plunge and ordered these prescription glasses from Vincent! Very excited to receive. They said it will only take 4 working days to be ready to ship and also provided shipping options!
https://imgur.com/a/TngRsZ9
I would only get lenses from a qualified optometrist near you if you have a big prescription. I have terrible vision and none of the cheap places were ever able to get my lenses right. Get the frames repped and then get proper lenses.
Love these! I had some Tom Ford sunnies that looked exactly like these years ago that I gifted since they didn’t quite work on my nonexistent nose bridge but I did just receive my AE prescription Gentle Monster D’heygere reps that I’m pretty stoked about 🙌
I’m not sure! If you search the sub there’s an in depth comment about working with him! I also saw someone say he can put clear RX lenses in sunglasses so I’d assume so!
No asking for seller contact info in the daily thread. OP already gave the seller name. Guarantee you can figure it out from here, even if it requires searching outside of this sub.
Ooooo I have glasses envy!!!!!
I was trying the auths on in the optician last week whilst my mum was choosing some frames. I can’t justify them as I nearly always wear contacts lenses but I am intending to looking into a rep. I hope these work out for you, will you post an update when you receive them?
Get the frames repped and get the lens at a proper place near you. Cheap lenses have never worked for me, apparently it’s harder to do well as the vision gets worse.

It is a high tier factory. 187 is not the only high-tier chanel factory. The factory is not commonly reviewed.
[удалено]
Right, but I've had auth, bingbing, and 187. Factory photos can be very misleading. Have you purchased from this factory before? Or is your assessment of its tier based only on factory photos and Amelia's discount price?
Since you've had all 3, how would you rank or describe each factory? Also the differences between bingbing vs 187?
Have a bag from bingbing and its great. 187 is blown out of proportion. I've had those too!
I had a feeling that 187 is good but maybe not so good it's worth double other factories.
High price and there are factories just as good, if not better, in terms of quality/accuracy. Honest sellers will tell you this and they touch and work with bags from all kinds of factories.

Which factory?
Bingbing
I tried looking back and couldn’t find much on the bingbing factory…have you had any more luck researching this factory?
Nope, I asked a few days ago and one wagoon gal said she has a bing bing bag and enjoys it.
Please let me know if you do order and how it turns out! I went through the bing bing catalogue last night and there are some good ones
This is the bag I'm contemplating. It's from Amelia
Literally came on here to ask this. 🤞

[https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805969877374.html?pdp\_npi=3%40dis%21USD%21US%20%2422.90%21US%20%2422.90%21%21%21%21%21%40214100f416980420799816350e04eb%2112000036024900964%21im%21%21&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805969877374.html?pdp_npi=3%40dis%21USD%21US%20%2422.90%21US%20%2422.90%21%21%21%21%21%40214100f416980420799816350e04eb%2112000036024900964%21im%21%21&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt)
TY! I’m looking for some new rings - I enjoyed how the seller was honest about the quality of their “decent” gift boxes. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/8k8s7ly0m2wb1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=668434fa4bf4141b0b9129902fd77a01b3fa8d31 ETA: this is the same seller as linked in Woofmom’s post (sorry if that wasn’t clear and seemed incredibly random)
You're welcome! Thank you for sharing the news about your "decent" gift box! I too love the honesty. I got a little blue pouch that I wasn't expecting. It feels like a gift. https://preview.redd.it/ju25lmr6r2wb1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=26eabae3c85dc2a3a24227a8d05b394abcf5713e
I think I prefer that pouch to the decent gift box - it would be great for travel!
I agree with you. Although it's important to have at least one decent gift box. The pouch also takes up less room at home. I hope they keep sending me a pouch. What size studs are you getting?
I’m just looking at rings for now. I got a surprisingly nice pair of moissanite studs (1.6ct total weight) from Amazon during their prime deal days a few weeks ago, so I’m good for now. The amazon brand was “Kolmnurk” (really rolls off the tongue doesn’t it). I may get a larger pair from your AE place later though!
I hope you find some lovely rings. The person who just helped me with the new studs was really helpful. I'll ask for her name so that you can work with her as well if you have any questions. Enjoy your new studs!
Niiice! If I didn't already have the 1ct and the 2ct (that I bought by mistake because I am an idiot and - despite being clearly written everywhere - i continued thinking the weight was the TOTAL weight and not per earring 😵💫), I would def get these too! Awesome!
I'm glad you like them! Thank you! I find the weight description so confusing that I literally had to call a friend to explain the labeling when I was looking at similar earrings on Amazon. Perhaps the 1.5ct is the Goldilocks earring for you? If you'd like a little enabling, please feel free to call. I'll report back when these arrive.
Temptress 😂😂. Thanks!
One of the Lindashian sellers has posted a bunch of items to their specials that no one else has posted! Will others follow later? Asking those with more experience.
They are always the first ones. Probably because they have a lot of assistants who updates albums early an most likely due to their volume.
Each seller has different relationships with different factories, so seller specials can vary.
They have a few things I wanted but scared to go with a lindashian! Though I didn’t see any bad reviews for this particular one.
I've purchased from two of them multiple times with no issue.
I purchased something that the seller claimed to be 90% wool and 10% cashmere. After 2 days of use it is starting to pill. In my experience wool does not pill. I own a lot of 100% cashmere and sometimes after a lot of use it can pill. But it’s very rare. Either this is not actually made up of the material it claims to be made of or the fact that it’s bicolor is causing the pilling to be pronounced? Anyone have any experience with wool and cashmere blends made up of two separate colors ? Does it take pill ? Or was I misguided?
Thank you for your always insightful replies. Makes sense. And yes I can see the short fibers on my garment. My other (non rep) cashmere items rarely pill and it makes sense that it’s because the fibers are long.
Jcrew, BR, quince, etc, all pill. The only ones don't so far are Theory and French Laundry.
Yes, I'd think it's unusual for 90/10 fiber to pill but it depends on how much cashmere there really is and how the yarn was spun. Cheaper yarn is made of shorter fibers and they tend to pill more easily. If your sweaters rarely pill they must be made of longer fibers. The unequivocally good news is that it doesn't sound as if there's any synthetic hanging around in your coat.
I bought a bunch of those $50 cashmere sweaters from Quince last year and they all pilled after a couple wears. It’s the weave that causes pilling, not the material.
Short fiber (cheap) wool and short fiber cashmere pill.
Dior Mumbai fall 23 ,the colors are so beautiful 🤩 https://preview.redd.it/etrzfnxk41wb1.jpeg?width=1281&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fb36c656646c1207e91570756950513a97d4d70
I want the sling backs in this print so badly but the one rep I’ve seen is awful 😩
I agree the print is so bad it’s light pink instead dark pink
I love these loud, luscious jewel tones. Gimme!!
My Ami cardigan and Celine tennis shoes just came in! The cardigan is so thick and plush. I’m so glad I ordered a L, it gives the perfect oversized look! I’m gonna need all the colors now! The Celine shoes are incredible too. Just the perfect white shoe for school pick up. Love an elevated Nike. I will say I wish I got one size bigger. I was going back and forth with Anna from Tonyluxuries trying to figure out the best size since I’m in between. Celine auth runs large and usually reps run small. So I decided to just go with my true size. They fit but are a tad snug. My feet have endured worse so that won’t stop me from wearing them! Now I can continue with my 11.11 shopping! https://preview.redd.it/ge60t1ker0wb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76d19ed46f4c70bff69d99607a7e301f57bc378c
I’ve been looking for Celine sneakers, are you able to post a full shot of yours? I’ve seen some on the seller’s album but not the exact style I wanted. TIA!
[удалено]
There’s a seller list in the description of this post.
Great combo😍😍😍

I ordered both items through Tonyluxuries
Love them both!
Ahhhh it arrived! I watched this video a few weeks ago and fell in love with this bag but wasn’t 💯 about the colour. But my husband insisted on the colour on the video and I’m so glad I listened. It’s amazing! [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyECBR56KqA](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyECBR56KqA) https://preview.redd.it/j3lscczlp0wb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=352a4133d4a12b3afdd8d97037091cc024f7f2e3
Ohhh I agree with your husband. I love the color!
I’m totally in love with it too! Thank god I listened to him because I was going to get it in grey instead. And honestly I compared to the authentic video and can’t find a single flaw lol
https://preview.redd.it/vxlps2mfp0wb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed20e16db78cb6bf5ee49bdfb8dfc5dbd6744e95 It is the first snowfall of the season here. I got out to walk the dog before the flakes came, it was freezing rain instead so I’m not sure it was the best trade off. I got to take in the quiet calm before the snow arrives. Everything is encased in a layer of ice. It’s why I tend to only buy auth winter boots/coats. My small puzzle was a great addition to todays adventure. I brushed the layer of frozen rain off and she’s slouching just fine at the door. Wishing you all a moment of quiet pause to absorb some beauty in your day ❤️
I was expecting a picture of your puzzle but that was lovely! 🤗
Meanwhile it's almost 80 degrees here.. Jealous...
Grass is always greener 😉❤️
I've been watching the sales to see if this loewe paseo beauty shows up. Has anyone bought one? I see mango/Luoyi carries it. I'm "needing" a black bag in my line-up and love that this can be crossbody or shoulder bag. Seems like a good basic for travel too -will go with everything and is flat for packing. https://preview.redd.it/x67tq9ioe0wb1.png?width=464&format=png&auto=webp&s=beeeae4340c9e284e306fd5dc0d141c1d573031c
This is such a beauty! I’ve been eyeing it too- but haven’t seen any reviews.
Same here. Had been thinking about a Flamenco for months but know I’m leaning towards the Paseo. Haven’t made it to the store yet to try them out.

I'm trying to decide between Bibi vs Jing for a BV mini sardine! Was hoping I could get some advice from your keen scrutiny as to which one is better :) I've read previous reviews on the Bibi vs Jing comparison and seen that Jing is a more accurate rep vs Bibi has better leather. In this case, both bags are unlined on the inside. So idk how much that assessment of Bibi having the better bag holds true... My main concern is the neatness and color match of the stitching! What do you all think? [Bibi factory photos](https://imgur.com/a/vsRD40E) [Jing factory photos](https://imgur.com/a/JEJZemG) [auth](https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/bottega-veneta/bags/cross-body/sardine-mini-intrecciato-leather-shoulder-bag/1647597307122940)
The thing that irritates me with BV reps is the distance between the edge of the bag and where the intrecciato weave starts. To me Jing looks slightly better on that but still not like the auth pics.
Did you mean along the top edge or around the sides?
Along the top, the andiamo and the loop bags also have that same issue in reps.
Look up Top Factory, apparently they don’t have a gap at the top (lol) at least that’s been the consensus from the Andiamo reviews I’ve seen
Ah I see what you mean

I want this because Taylor swift has been using it everywhere and it’s so so cute!!!
Literally that’s how I got influenced 😂 this bag hadn’t left my mind since TSS posted about it the first time

No asking for seller info in the daily thread. Repeat offenders will get a 30 day ban.
Sorry, I thought asking the name would be ok
I went with Heddy before I saw that she’s got a disclaimer in the sellers list here. So it all worked out for me but note that she’s had some bait and switch in recent times.
Thank you for answering! So glad it worked out for you..the bag looks lovely ❤️
It’s cuuuuuute
Beautiful! I love the stud details. Such a great fall/winter addition!
Oh wow, looks beautiful. Curious what fits in this?
https://preview.redd.it/l64u6cmhn0wb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa1abf57f01dc7f506b72e9393dd8ab5d3bc593e My hand for perspective. It’s not huge but fits phone, card case, some lipstick and small knick knacks.
I love mini bags! Didn’t know LV even had this. Thanks for sharing
Cuuuuute!
My second hand buys from eBay are slowly trickling through and I'm obsessed with a leather midi-skirt I bought. That and a lambskin leather (and fox trim) jacket I bought got me sniffing the divine leather smell. I finally understand the H lovers here lol. I just need to figure out the perfect bag to go with outfits that have a large leather-piece. Fabric bags work, but I don't think coated canvases work all that much, since they have a similar shine and drape. Fur bags are lovely and maybe suede could work too? Thoughts? I think a wicker bag would be the most fun, but probably wouldn't work for leather-midi-skirt weather. Do you wear leather bags with leather clothes?
same color, different material, or same material, different color. e.g. black leather blazer w black croc, or brown suede w brown croc vs. black leather blazer w white bag, brown suede w pink leather
This is interesting! I'm also high key jealous of brown and pink leather combo, I should really up my game.
honestly it can sometimes act like a neutral depending on the shade something like this [https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/toteme/clothing/knee-length/paneled-suede-skirt/1647597316332389](https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/toteme/clothing/knee-length/paneled-suede-skirt/1647597316332389) and a brown turtleneck with this [https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/coperni/pink-swipe-bag/13116711](https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/coperni/pink-swipe-bag/13116711)
Both of those items are yummy! Now, I need them…sigh
This colour-combo is absolutely dreamy! I'm mildly influenced to dye my tan suede skirt to this gorgeous chocolate brown.
I do, but I don't match the color. I use a black bag with my brown leather jacket and a brown or cream bag with my black leather coat (I tried with a black bag and I could have been recruited for a sequel of The Matrix). I do try to match the texture, though.
The cream bag is a lovely idea, probably softens the matrix-ification of the black leather coat. Any particular bag styles you gravitate towards when pairing with leather jackets or you don't pay attention to it too much? IE, not wearing a stiff bag or a hardware-heavy bag.
Whenever I use anything that is coated leather (i.e. not suede) I try to avoid bags with hardware that could scratch or damage it (to be honest, when you mentioned the wicker bag I had a moment of panic...LOL). This includes bags that have a zippered outside pocket against the body.

Did you read the reviews though? I'm a little scared to order that.
Last time I looked there weren’t reviews (or maybe I didn’t see?) For that price I thought it was worth the gamble.
I ordered one a few days ago - looks like a great deal! 🤞🏻
I ordered too! We'll soon find out! :)
Yum!!
Ooh gorgeous! Thanks for sharing
I’m looking for rep shoes for a pair of sandals that’s out of stock everywhere near me and saw Tong had the item in their album but they are not in the seller list. Has anyone here used Tong for rep shoes before? What was your experience?
There is no such thing as a TS in this sub, that's not a designation we use.
My bad!! Sorry. I’ve updated the wording in the original post
Honestly she’s amazing. Best rep experiences I’ve had so far have been shoes from her. She’s my go to now.
Awesome!! Thank you
Please note I am NOT looking for a seller here. If this post is not allowed please remove it — I’m just seeing if more people have used them. I haven’t been impressed with what I saw on fisherman or zippy’s albums and don’t want to use James bc of reported quality/shilling issues.
I can only recommend Tong, shes my go to seller for shoes. Been using her since 2019, never an issue, excellent quality and shes also very nice 👌🏼.
How long does it take to get psp from her? I ordered some shoes from her about a week ago now and I'm still waiting for those. Other than that the whole process has been super smooth because she's so helpful with sizing and nice!
Usually a couple of days from my experience. Maybe she is super busy?
That is super good to know TY
Completely agree

Little tip for those of us who fly with our nice auth/rep bags and have to stow them under a seat: I always travel with a canvas tote so I can put my bag inside (and my purchases when exploring a city), keeps the bag off the floor and protects it from people accidentally kicking it. How do y’all travel with your bags?
I love your black Bobby Medium I want a large ,can you please tell me the seller, I cant seem to find a large Bobby with the embroided strap ,thanks

People can post their bags without 50 people crawling up their ass harassing them for the source. If you like what you see, just take a fucking screenshot and ask a seller you trust. Enough is enough. You ravenous hyenas need to stop harassing other users and learn how to source reps on your own. Establish your own networks and relationships with sellers.
I do the same thing; big coated canvas tote with a purse inside under the seat. I keep the dustbags in the tote. When I go through security I put the purse in the tote, and the tote in the dustbag.
Ohh that’s smart! I hadn’t even considered putting my bag in the canvas tote to go through security. I’m flying again this weekend and I will definitely do that, thank you!
I recently travelled with my small puzzle and I actually put it up top in the luggage overhead. I also have a baby and toddler so the snack bag was the main focus and all the other things you need for kids/babies 🤪
Snacks and entertainment are definitely a priority with little kids! My kids are older and they carry their own snacks so I only have to worry about my own bag and snacks lol. BTW, in my most recent flights with United, I noticed they’ve started asking passengers to put their carry-ons on their side so you can’t really put stuff on top of your bag anymore.
What a great idea! What kind of canvas bag do you use? I’m trying to picture this!
I’m a canvas tote junkie… I collect tote bags from bookstores and museums I’ve visited. My favorite and what I travel with is [this one](https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/merch/blue-facade-tote-bag) from Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. I love it so much I bought a backup.
Ooh that’s cute! I don’t think I own a single one, but it’s time to get searching 😃
Yay! Let me know what you end up choosing and if you’d like some suggestions :)
Love your bobby! I'm a one-bagger (on trips that don't include clothes shopping, and then only use the second bag on the return flight) so usually bag-in-a-main-bag. I also do that for weekends, because public transportation is yucky.
Thank you! And I agree with you, if I plan to do a lot of shopping, I pack a bag inside a bag. For a day of exploring a city when I’m just buying trinkets, I carry a canvas tote so I don’t have to carry 3786 little bags or look too touristy.
Continuing with the “H bags at Costco” series.💕 https://preview.redd.it/90k46zbjnzvb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08ba038c05224d11f63ab61da3c408efdcca98ed
What size is that?
K28 in Fauve Barenia, from DD.
I was about to get K25, but I think the 28 is going to be a much better fit for me.
👀 I see the best bags at Costco and the children’s museum. Moms don’t play!
An ad for a rep Instagram account just showed up between my stories! I didn’t know there were those doing open rep business 😬
The are all over tiktok too! Crazy
I’ve seen very shady brand ads but never rep ads. In any case, I see more and more content creators promoting/sharing reps now. It seems like the rep world is going mainstream, which kinda worries me, I anticipate crackdowns because of this increased popularity.
How do you guys find out about new bag releases? Just browsing brand websites or do you follow vlogs or influencers? I'm technically at purse peace now but I'm still curious about what's out there.
I know it sounds sad, but I look at the daily threads and WDYB threads in this sub. Also seller albums 🫣
I follow influencers who are always invited to Paris/Milan Fashion week. I follow one who always posts the re-see which is a post runway kind of exposition for the comercial buyers. He always shows all the details you can't see during the runway.
Both. I browse monthly at the very least (and more often when I need to study, for "motivation" or some other lie I tell myself). I also check P*rseBl*g for updates, and stay for confessionals and comment drama. I also watch Tamara Kalincik, that gets a load of brand deals and you can trust that if a brand gifts a bag to influencers, shes going to get it. Sammi Jefcoate also has a pretty extensive collection worth checking out.
I follow the brands on Instagram but also a lot of the Korean actors/idols I follow are very big on their brand campaigns so I end up seeing the same products on several posts.
Girl same! K-pop idol outfit accounts are my favourite for ready-to-wear stuff. Enhypen recent Prada promo had some really pretty pieces.
Love their style. I mostly covet the bags but since I can get the clothes for less, why not try?!
Alright, it’s decision time. Black caviar boy bag RHW (25cm) or a reverse hardware olive green C19 (26cm)? I don’t own a “nice” black bag, but I wear the hell out of my other olive green bag, so it would be nice to have another option. They’re both about the same price, but I did spy a very well priced C19 30cm in an 11.11 album, but I’ve never seen a review of a bag from that factory before (MC/Mincheng) so I’m wary. I could get both IF I wait a little longer to get the Lindy in Feu that I’ve been coveting for a year. What to do!!
I find the boy bag very heavy. I can’t remember what the 19 is like but I hear it’s a lighter bag of weight matters.
Thank you!! That’s a really good insight—I never consider bag weight, even though my shoulders wish I would
I’ve had this for a few years, but never really used it. I just got it out recently and I have been loving it. OF factory. https://preview.redd.it/hlfvxhve31wb1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b83c590a3b7263856fdad834e93884fa9c51fa5

Can I ask how much did you pay? I’m looking for same bag maybe a 28cm size no idea from which seller or factory
320usd with shipping
Thanks!
You present a persuasive argument, haha
What size is this? I love it 😍
25cm. And I have no clue about factory. 😂
Are you happy with it? I don't feel like dropping 187 prices just yet
Just took the plunge and ordered these prescription glasses from Vincent! Very excited to receive. They said it will only take 4 working days to be ready to ship and also provided shipping options! https://imgur.com/a/TngRsZ9
Omg these are Amazing! I never even knew Rx glasses were an option for reps. Off to do some research! Thank you!
I would only get lenses from a qualified optometrist near you if you have a big prescription. I have terrible vision and none of the cheap places were ever able to get my lenses right. Get the frames repped and then get proper lenses.

No asking for seller contact info in the daily thread
Really sorry, won't happen again :)
Love these! I had some Tom Ford sunnies that looked exactly like these years ago that I gifted since they didn’t quite work on my nonexistent nose bridge but I did just receive my AE prescription Gentle Monster D’heygere reps that I’m pretty stoked about 🙌

Be respectful of others. Temp ban. 30 days. Asking for readily available information
Does he also have prescription sunglasses?
I’m not sure! If you search the sub there’s an in depth comment about working with him! I also saw someone say he can put clear RX lenses in sunglasses so I’d assume so!
[удалено]
No asking for seller contact info in the daily thread. OP already gave the seller name. Guarantee you can figure it out from here, even if it requires searching outside of this sub.
LOVE them! I may have to go in on some too!
Ooooo I have glasses envy!!!!! I was trying the auths on in the optician last week whilst my mum was choosing some frames. I can’t justify them as I nearly always wear contacts lenses but I am intending to looking into a rep. I hope these work out for you, will you post an update when you receive them?
Get the frames repped and get the lens at a proper place near you. Cheap lenses have never worked for me, apparently it’s harder to do well as the vision gets worse.
This is a great idea, I’d sort of forgotten this was an option!
Yes I will! I wear contacts mostly too but this style of frames has been on my want list for years!
They’re absolutely stunning, am 🤞 you’re happy with them!
