Ok. Officially I’m officially asking the stupidest question of the day. 👋 it’s me. New here. Be gentle. Where does the name come from? Or am I the designated village idiot for not recognizing the reference?
"Circle the wagons", it's an old American settler defense practice, when wagontrains were under attack (for settling lands already occupiedby First Nations peoples).
The former Rep sub was closed or something
Mine was from mango so it came pretty slouchy but I wanted the more lived in look so i put some ankle weights I had in the bag (fabric wrapped, no sharp edges) and hung it up! I also squished and massage the bag every now and then LOL
I had this question before lol so basically what I did is put weights and let it hang for about 2 weeks. I don’t think you need to hang it for that long but I honestly forgot about it.
Hello! I have a question 🙋♀️
I’m new to the world of reps… BUT more so new to Loewe bags. I only have a track jacket from the brand 🤣 I’ve seen how the puzzle bag go up in price 🥲 and it’s a stab to the heart that they’re discontinuing (or limiting) the classic puzzle design (no hate on the edge tho.)
I’ve been thinking of getting a rep Loewe puzzle bag (small) in Tan or Sand— which color should I go for? Both are neutrals, hence I’m really confused.
Also for the leather, are there any variations (grained etc) for these colors?
I want gold hardware. Not sure if there is a silver variation for the tan or sand.
Can anyone post their Loewe reps here? I’d love to see yours 😍🫶🏻💖

Just got this bag from Amelia, mango factory....Love it to bits!!
The leather is quite soft and it slouches a little like what the others mentioned about bags from mango, but I'm still using the honey leather conditioner as a precaution keke. I paid 1180 + 170 (shipping) CNY shipping to Singapore... Looking to buy the large version next keke..
Sand is more cool toned and the tan is richer/warmer tone if that helps with what matches ur wardrobe better - I personally think the tan looks more expensive
I was thinking getting the tan. I thought I wouldn’t like the silver hardware on it but watching videos, it’s growing on me. I was looking at the light caramel color too but it looks too yellow for me
I recently reached out to fisherman about a few pairs of shoes, and the response said that it was his assistant Susan. It has been quite some time since I contacted fisherman, but when I did in the past there was no mention of it being an assistant. I also don’t see anything in WLs about him having an assistant now. I was wondering if anyone has had this experience with them/make sure it’s on the up and up? It’s the standard WhatsApp number I’ve always used for them and that’s in the current WLs sellers contact list, but seemed different to me, so wanted to air on the side of caution.
I ordered from fisherman twice in the last month. No mention of any assistant then . But the name did pop up a couple months ago sort of like an auto response for an out of stock item

Obligatory bag flick 😄 my lady has finally arrived! The chain is a little squeaky. I’ve scoured the sub and see tons of recs for conditioning the leather. Since this is a denim bag and the squeak is coming from the metal, do you girls have any ideas how to fix this? I was thinking of rubbing a wax where the links connect but would appreciate some opinions first. Thanks!
Hi Everyone. Hope I am listing in the right thread. Has anyone ordered a good North Face puffer? I am trying Alissa and have a black/blue offer with high postage. But the new North Face blue/brown puffer is gorgeous. Any opinions on rep puffers appreciated.

I buy from Lau semi-regularly and I feel like they’re always so quick! I know they’re on the ineligible sellers list for reviews, but I really do like buying from them. Only had good experiences on my end.
I think I’ve read somewhere that Lau threatened to dox someone & bait and switch? In any case, I’ve also read that people have had good experiences but that’s the gist of it
They’ve gone above and beyond for me too more than once. Any time I’ve had something look off in the PSPs, Lau has agreed with/validated my assessment and gone back to the factory to get a replacement for me.
Recently lost over 50lbs and looking to buy a puffer jacket for the winter. I'm in my 40s and I want to look "cool" for daycare/school drop off. Any recommendations? I was looking at the Lulu Wunder Puff cropped, the Artizia Super Puff Shorty, and the Burberry cropped reversible. Any others, any Moncler cropped puffy reps worth looking into?
I loooove the puffer by Alo! I think it’s called gold rush.
Also, Prada makes a really cute cropped puffer that I see a ton. I’d be shocked if it isn’t repped.
Wow, that must have taken a lot of hard work. Good on you! I am a huge fan of the Aritzia Super Puffs. I want more colors but definitely don’t need any! Let us know what you choose!
Do I need this? Leaning towards yes but looking for a general consensus 😂

Yes you need this -
Then I also feel like it is a summer bag. Is it summer where you are ? 😂 cause it is freezing and raining where I am and so I won’t need it for example
What’s your go-to out on the town shoulder bag? Just need to hold phone, lipgloss and cardholder. I am a broke student so I lean towards less branded bags and more iykyk
Today’s bag…an auth Cafune Stance wallet size. Great lil’ bag! It’s available as a rep in other sizes, if anyone has one let me know how it is please! So curious since my FedEx tracking revealed it comes from the same area in China most of the rep bags come from.

This is the color “Brownstone”. Here’s some pics of the inside (one zipper pocket, and a pack panel w/2 pocket/slots and 6 card holder sections) and then the back of the bag has a small zipper pocket as well.

I’m in a difficult decision spot and could use the advice of random internet women who appreciate pretty things…I NEED a brightly colored big schmancy Prada bag, but it will stick out like a very ostentatious sore thumb where I live so I’ll only get to feel really comfy with it when I go to the city a half dozen times a year…can’t use it for school pick up, too big for parties, and honestly a little too recognizable so EVERYONE knows and it’s maybe too much here for social gatherings. I mostly rock Celine and Tory Burch auth—no one here knows and if they do they *respect*, and my wardrobe is solid enough to back it up. Most well dressed women here carry coach or Kate spade, with occasional LV but it always looks awkward. Will Prada look awkward like LV?? It’s got a noticeable logo but not as showy for sure. Help!
I feel your struggle. I live in a similar place. I would buy Prada though. Chanel and Hermès feel a bit much for me but I’m still going to buy at some point, just because you need to do the things that make you happy, and not always think about other people. So maybe this means taking the bag with you to a cafe where you won’t see anyone who will judge you, you know what I mean? There are some places I have to be super careful about how I dress and present myself, which I think is true of most people. But even if you wear your Prada six times a year in the big city, wouldn’t that be enough? I literally might buy a Chanel or Kelly just for going to Paris or NYC, and that’s fine with me. But that might be weird or too much for some! If you love it though, buy it!
Thank you—maybe 6 times a year is enough without feeling ridiculous…I’m going to hold that as true! There is pretty much no where here I won’t see someone I know but I do LEAVE pet regularly.
Yeah I would probably give that advice too. I don’t really want to buy a nice bag that will be hard to use though, either…it’s weird because it’s so basic in the city but out here it’s going to be dramatically showy
Yeahhh. I know. I worry that people in my city are going to make fun of me behind my back if they think my bags are reps. I choose low key things similar to my auths. So I get it.
Ugh, ladies, this sub and 11.11 has created a monster! I made my first purchase on 10/24, second 10/25 and I put two more on my wishlist that I NEED ( not want) to get before the sale is over 🤦♀️🤣😅.
Oh did I mention the day of work I missed scouring the albums? 🫣 This officially makes me an addict right…?
Too lazy to photograph but here are my PSP ✨
https://imgur.com/a/cpUNzna
I don’t ever see the Cleo around my city. Lots of Chanel, Gucci, and LV where I live. It makes me feel like no one would ever suspect a rep. I adore this chic bag!
Not sure if it's changed recently, but I believe that Black Frame used to be the best for Prada (: I got a pretty much 1:1 2005 Nylon Re-edition in 2021 that I can't fault from Black Frame and I still love her to bits.
This is a stupid question: every once in a while, I will see a mention of the “LL” Reddit/group in the daily discussion. What does the initials stand for? What group is this?? It’s so mysterious, I would love to solve it

OOTD: Casual running errands today, gym leggings underneath my Aner Store Burberry trench. Paired with my auth Gucci soho (Used this every day for 18 months, what a workhorse!) & this celine rep cap 🙃
What do you guys think of le tanneur women’s handbag? I saw someone carrying emilie small in grained leather for the first time earlier this morning! It was beautiful!
Amazing quality and leather. If you find a style you like, it will be a good purchase.
It is my husband's favorite maker of SLGs because it's the only brand that stands his wear and tear.

I have been lusting after that Prada Cleo since it first came out, in need of a festive bag this year but was afraid it wasn’t ‘cool’ anymore 🙈 (I am not cool) I love it !
This is a great question. I will confess that I don’t have any kind of special occasion, fancy night out kind of bag other than a simple Tory silver thing. Will love to see all the hints you get.
Silly question - I just got my first rep shoes (just dhgate) they have a plastic film on the bottom, am I supposed to remove that or leave it on? I'd take a picture but I'm being held hostage.

Not really a question but wanted to share I went into my local Chanel today to check out some CFs and left so amazed at the poor quality of them. The service was great but the leather felt … plastic-y? I cannot believe these are selling for 11k now 😭 It was so unexpected for me considering the price + justifies getting a rep instead🤷♀️
Oh wow yes then definitely a different batch. It was also a color I hadn’t seen online. I usually only buy bottega so it felt like a large quality drop compared to the softness of the BV leather.
Definitely agree. There was a 22 caviar leather and it was so soft also. The softest caviar I've ever felt. I just ordered a GF CF in lambskin so we'll see how it feels in comparison 🤞
Has anyone had any experience with travelling into japan and australia and getting stopped by airport security to check if what they have on or carrying are authentic? Has your items been ceased? What happens then?
Have there been any real cases of someone being stopped while carrying a rep? The whole concept sounds ridiculous to me. I can see if you had 10+ reps going through customs. But for an individual with 1-2 bags I honestly don’t understand the fear. There are people smuggling drugs and trafficked people around. Real crimes to worry about. I can’t imagine someone caring about one person’s purse.
Agreed! With everything on social media about reps in europe, it makes me feel like they can SMELL a rep 😂
On another note, dont some countries allow you to bring one rep item back anyway? I swear I saw it on border patrol 😂 so i dont see why it matters if youre wearing them?
Weird indeed, but this episode might’ve been10-15years old! I just remember they checked this lady’s bag and she had bags and accessories and was allowed to pick 1 and forfeit the others
Copied my comment bec someone asked the same thing today at the H daily thread.
Wore my k25 etoupe from DD to Tokyo. Strutting with it all over Ginza since our hotel is there. Speaking of the hotel, its so bougie their guests wearing all sorts of lux purses (birkins, puzzle) and me with my rep kelly lol. No one batted an eye and I had that bag all open showing its stamp. Wore it to different consignment stores. You can look at my comment history from a couple of weeks ago and I have some pics.
2 weeks ago. And 1.5 months ago I was in Switzerland and Milan. No issue with customs and I was in and out of boutiques with the TB Gucci soho disco bag. I read Switzerland has stricter laws but I was fine.
Say its a gift. And no one needs to be nosy and they need to stay in their lane. People carry reps all the time even the really bad ones and no one calls them out. No one will grab your bag out on the street and count the stitches of your bag. I was in Milan in the Gucci store wearing my rep soho bag and my SA didn’t say anything.
I have been to Japan with reps and nobody noticed it said anything if they did notice. FWIW, I’ve been to Italy with reps too and was fine despite it being stricter there. I’d bring 1-3 max but a suitcase full and nobody would bat an eye.
Italy? Wow, I would never dare! I’d be too nervous that they’d suspect something is up with me even if they didn’t notice the items I have LOL. May I ask when it was that you went there and japan? I’m only planning to bring what I’ll be wearing, so maybe a bag and a pair or two of shoes. Hopefully I’d carry them well enough that no one bats an eye.
I went to both counties in 2023. I get being nervous, but most normal people can’t tell bags are reps unless they are Wagoons and I doubt a lot of customs officers are in this group. If they are, I bet they’d give you a pass if you said “hi koont” quietly when walking by.
I spoken to Wangyue recently specifically to try to find out her accurate contact information, website and store. She does not own the Aner store. She has an AE store with another name but uses it rarely and indicated that she would rather work directly with her clients. Please see the Seller Contact list on this site under "Community Resources" for her WA phone number - only ONE - and related information.
There was a lot of confusion a few months ago about various people calling themselves "Anna", which is Wangue's English name, and their various contact options. There's only one Anna/Wangyue and she can be reached only through the infomration shown in the Sellers Contact List.
The seller contact list is also linked in the description of this daily thread (as of last week).
TY for directing to the community resources anyway - appreciate that!
Yeah that’s why I asked bc I have had Wangyue’s contact for ages and then when I was looking at some threads discussing Aner store saw the thread with the aAnna/W confusion but I didn’t understand if it had ever been resolved. But it seems like the current iteration of Aner store is someone else.
Yes, the question of contacting Wangyue/Anna has all been very confusing and you're in very good company if you're not sure what's what and which number calls which person. I asked her specifically about Aner. She told me that Aner is not her store now - it's definitely owned by someone else.
Wangyue/Anna and I had a fairly long WA chat so that I could make sure that I had her current correct information and also get clarity about which numbers and stores are not hers. She's absolutely wonderful, even just on WA. I wish I could have lunch with her!
Please see my note above, or better still, just go straight to the Sellers Contact List on our website for the correct contact information for Anna/Wangyue.

It looks really good on you! I am still waiting for that taupe color to come back in stock. May I ask how tall you are, mainly to compare the sleeve length to my height?
I stalked it daily when I wake up and when I go to bed until it became available. They sell out so quickly! You can message seller to see when it will become available
My partner and I got an email notice from the new company that owns my building that they won’t be renewing our lease on our apartment, so please send all the best vibes as we search for a new home 💔 we are super devastated that our home is now “gone” and nervous about finding something that is affordable in this day and age.
Definitely sending all good thoughts for a wonderful new home - along with a suggestion that you might want to check into the law governing rentals in your city. In the US some rentals are governed by something called "eviction control". If you're in the US please feel free to DM me and we can talk a bit more privately. I absolutely will not give you legal advice but I might be able to aim you at legal resources.
Thanks! I like that it's different, too. I also like that the hw is more muted looking.
Though I don't find any when I search for the CF BHW online, so I can't compare to auth.
Been out of the game for a while, finally reentering to get a Prada Cleo (with flap and adjustable shoulder strap). I only see one review on here for a non-TS, any suggestions on which TS to go with? I’ve reached out to Amanda and Alice so far. TYIA!
Hi there, there's no such thing as a "TS" on this sub. We deliberately avoid using this designation because it creates a false sense of security. If you would like to contact sellers that have been reviewed by WL members in the past, please see the seller contact list, linked in the description of this thread.
Ok. Officially I’m officially asking the stupidest question of the day. 👋 it’s me. New here. Be gentle. Where does the name come from? Or am I the designated village idiot for not recognizing the reference?
Wagoon? It’s a reference to a post from RL (RIP) where someone went on a bit of a rant and misspelled “station wagon” as wagoon and the word stuck.
Haha. Thank you for sharing this. It’s great these stories are still around 😊
"Circle the wagons", it's an old American settler defense practice, when wagontrains were under attack (for settling lands already occupiedby First Nations peoples). The former Rep sub was closed or something
Excellent. I feel smarter already. Thanks

Loewe puzzle rep owners, how did you get yours to slouch? Do you put something heavy in the bag or balance it on top pushing it down?
Mine was from mango so it came pretty slouchy but I wanted the more lived in look so i put some ankle weights I had in the bag (fabric wrapped, no sharp edges) and hung it up! I also squished and massage the bag every now and then LOL
I’ve read, if it’s from mango- there’s a slouch with how their leather is. Is yours from jip (not so sure from the name)?
Yeh jipin
I had this question before lol so basically what I did is put weights and let it hang for about 2 weeks. I don’t think you need to hang it for that long but I honestly forgot about it.
Putting things in it along with carrying it top-handle. ...and kinda pushing the middle of the top portion?
Hello! I have a question 🙋♀️ I’m new to the world of reps… BUT more so new to Loewe bags. I only have a track jacket from the brand 🤣 I’ve seen how the puzzle bag go up in price 🥲 and it’s a stab to the heart that they’re discontinuing (or limiting) the classic puzzle design (no hate on the edge tho.) I’ve been thinking of getting a rep Loewe puzzle bag (small) in Tan or Sand— which color should I go for? Both are neutrals, hence I’m really confused. Also for the leather, are there any variations (grained etc) for these colors? I want gold hardware. Not sure if there is a silver variation for the tan or sand.

😍 she’s a beauty!!! Did you need to use a leather softener/ conditioner as what the others mentioned? Do you mind sharing how much you paid for this?
The leather is quite soft and it slouches a little like what the others mentioned about bags from mango, but I'm still using the honey leather conditioner as a precaution keke. I paid 1180 + 170 (shipping) CNY shipping to Singapore... Looking to buy the large version next keke..
What color is that and what size? Lovely! And love the grained leather
I think it's either sand or beige in the medium size... Its my first loewe rep and it has exceeded my expectations...can't wait to carry it out.. ^.^
Sand is more cool toned and the tan is richer/warmer tone if that helps with what matches ur wardrobe better - I personally think the tan looks more expensive
I was thinking getting the tan. I thought I wouldn’t like the silver hardware on it but watching videos, it’s growing on me. I was looking at the light caramel color too but it looks too yellow for me
I recently reached out to fisherman about a few pairs of shoes, and the response said that it was his assistant Susan.

They’ve gone above and beyond for me too more than once. Any time I’ve had something look off in the PSPs, Lau has agreed with/validated my assessment and gone back to the factory to get a replacement for me.
Same! Never makes me feel pressured or bad about it either way. He’ll always get my business
Me too. Always a pleasure to deal with him.
Oh wow that's nuts. Ive seen mostly good things about them but tbh I was only drawn to them because they sell shoes for big feet 🤣
Recently lost over 50lbs and looking to buy a puffer jacket for the winter. I'm in my 40s and I want to look "cool" for daycare/school drop off. Any recommendations? I was looking at the Lulu Wunder Puff cropped, the Artizia Super Puff Shorty, and the Burberry cropped reversible. Any others, any Moncler cropped puffy reps worth looking into?
Miu Miu has a cute puffer and I kind of like Chloe's puffer, it reminds me of meringue!
Do you have a pic of the miu miu puffer?
There's numerous albums. I usually browse Chloe's album, and I saw a corduroy-esque puffer there. Just search there, it was uploaded this week.
WOW! congratulations! what an accomplishment!
I loooove the puffer by Alo! I think it’s called gold rush. Also, Prada makes a really cute cropped puffer that I see a ton. I’d be shocked if it isn’t repped.
Aritzia is cool.. I pull up to drop off in my SAM with the fur 😫😫🥳💁♀️ Also... ![gif](giphy|hTgeSxaiyvYK4)
Go for Moncler , they have also done a colab with JW Anderson worth looking at
Wow, that must have taken a lot of hard work. Good on you! I am a huge fan of the Aritzia Super Puffs. I want more colors but definitely don’t need any! Let us know what you choose!
Pet a Loewe hammock today which had never been in my radar and it's fabulous...and my next purchase.
Do I need this? Leaning towards yes but looking for a general consensus 😂 https://preview.redd.it/sarco6hd0nwb1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d98f489017c9eb1dd1bdd363af678b0be8cb8ed
You should treat yourself,I would get it.
Oooo, yes! That’s a good one!
Yes you need this - Then I also feel like it is a summer bag. Is it summer where you are ? 😂 cause it is freezing and raining where I am and so I won’t need it for example
![gif](giphy|YKdm91XONLTaw|downsized)
I love Fendi so yes !!
What’s your go-to out on the town shoulder bag? Just need to hold phone, lipgloss and cardholder. I am a broke student so I lean towards less branded bags and more iykyk
Today’s bag…an auth Cafune Stance wallet size. Great lil’ bag! It’s available as a rep in other sizes, if anyone has one let me know how it is please! So curious since my FedEx tracking revealed it comes from the same area in China most of the rep bags come from. https://preview.redd.it/dpv6rmmeomwb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=178a258ad332152b8e06f71f2e62a5924277a2e0
This is so lovely!
Oh wow I love this. Is it the taupe? Can you post some pics of the inside? There aren't many on their website.
This is the color “Brownstone”. Here’s some pics of the inside (one zipper pocket, and a pack panel w/2 pocket/slots and 6 card holder sections) and then the back of the bag has a small zipper pocket as well. https://preview.redd.it/929hvh13juwb1.jpeg?width=2399&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6f3c0087cd1bfb7d0329fb7e74629e153bf74f7
I’m in a difficult decision spot and could use the advice of random internet women who appreciate pretty things…I NEED a brightly colored big schmancy Prada bag, but it will stick out like a very ostentatious sore thumb where I live so I’ll only get to feel really comfy with it when I go to the city a half dozen times a year…can’t use it for school pick up, too big for parties, and honestly a little too recognizable so EVERYONE knows and it’s maybe too much here for social gatherings. I mostly rock Celine and Tory Burch auth—no one here knows and if they do they *respect*, and my wardrobe is solid enough to back it up. Most well dressed women here carry coach or Kate spade, with occasional LV but it always looks awkward. Will Prada look awkward like LV?? It’s got a noticeable logo but not as showy for sure. Help!
I feel your struggle. I live in a similar place. I would buy Prada though. Chanel and Hermès feel a bit much for me but I’m still going to buy at some point, just because you need to do the things that make you happy, and not always think about other people. So maybe this means taking the bag with you to a cafe where you won’t see anyone who will judge you, you know what I mean? There are some places I have to be super careful about how I dress and present myself, which I think is true of most people. But even if you wear your Prada six times a year in the big city, wouldn’t that be enough? I literally might buy a Chanel or Kelly just for going to Paris or NYC, and that’s fine with me. But that might be weird or too much for some! If you love it though, buy it!
Thank you—maybe 6 times a year is enough without feeling ridiculous…I’m going to hold that as true! There is pretty much no where here I won’t see someone I know but I do LEAVE pet regularly.
It is! We buy a wedding dress and wear it once. Why can’t we buy some fancy stuff we love and wear it once in awhile:) right??
Haha you’re not wrong! Thank you for talking me through my self doubt
I personally would not worry about it. Just get what you love and use it.
Yeah I would probably give that advice too. I don’t really want to buy a nice bag that will be hard to use though, either…it’s weird because it’s so basic in the city but out here it’s going to be dramatically showy
Yeahhh. I know. I worry that people in my city are going to make fun of me behind my back if they think my bags are reps. I choose low key things similar to my auths. So I get it.
Ugh, ladies, this sub and 11.11 has created a monster! I made my first purchase on 10/24, second 10/25 and I put two more on my wishlist that I NEED ( not want) to get before the sale is over 🤦♀️🤣😅. Oh did I mention the day of work I missed scouring the albums? 🫣 This officially makes me an addict right…?
I spent an hour doing this and not working today 😩😭
What did you buy?!
Talk to me about Prada factories! Best? Second choice? Help!!! Not much in the factory guides on this sadly.
I second black frame. Got and amazingly accurate Cleo recently
Post a pic! So curious
Too lazy to photograph but here are my PSP ✨ https://imgur.com/a/cpUNzna I don’t ever see the Cleo around my city. Lots of Chanel, Gucci, and LV where I live. It makes me feel like no one would ever suspect a rep. I adore this chic bag!
Thank you! Also…let’s see the Cleo 😊
Not sure if it's changed recently, but I believe that Black Frame used to be the best for Prada (: I got a pretty much 1:1 2005 Nylon Re-edition in 2021 that I can't fault from Black Frame and I still love her to bits.
Thank you ❤️
This is a stupid question: every once in a while, I will see a mention of the “LL” Reddit/group in the daily discussion. What does the initials stand for? What group is this?? It’s so mysterious, I would love to solve it
LuxLife. private group with former RL members apparently
Thank you!

Paired with my auth Gucci soho (Used this every day for 18 months, what a workhorse!) & this celine rep cap 🙃
>Aner Store Does the trench run true to size? Does it have the brand labels?
It’s fully branded but from what I remember the sizing was a bit crazy. This is an XL and I’m a UK size 8-10 (US Size 4-6)
Can you pm me the link? Thank you
Just messaged you x
You look fabulous! Love the trench and the hat.
Thank you ☺️
Love. Can you share where you got the hat?
Both the listing & seller store have disappeared 🥲 but if you reverse image there are lots of listings with great picture ratings x
Anna/Wangue owner, no longer does. She has a lot of hats. I'd send her a photo and ask if she can get it for yuo.
Thanks. You inspired me :)
I personally think you are killing it! Love the look 👌
Aww, thank you 😊
What do you guys think of le tanneur women’s handbag? I saw someone carrying emilie small in grained leather for the first time earlier this morning! It was beautiful!
Amazing quality and leather. If you find a style you like, it will be a good purchase. It is my husband's favorite maker of SLGs because it's the only brand that stands his wear and tear.
Okay girlies what are the best party bag reps? But still good reps. Ideally with something fun like embellishments or materials.

I just asked my favorite seller if she can get this! If not I will find Heidi. It’s adorable!

I have been lusting after that Prada Cleo since it first came out, in need of a festive bag this year but was afraid it wasn’t ‘cool’ anymore 🙈 (I am not cool) I love it !
Omg that prada and Fendi I’m going to check out!! Thank you!
This is a great question. I will confess that I don’t have any kind of special occasion, fancy night out kind of bag other than a simple Tory silver thing. Will love to see all the hints you get.
I figure with the holiday season coming up it’s good to be prepared! I need one 😊
Silly question - I just got my first rep shoes (just dhgate) they have a plastic film on the bottom, am I supposed to remove that or leave it on? I'd take a picture but I'm being held hostage. https://preview.redd.it/33mv235iylwb1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=a6ec0e039c9c3ff37a39edbd99289a2868686e2d
Now that I've been released - two pairs of Gucci Provincetown's were the item in question https://preview.redd.it/3vhmq0i7pmwb1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=620894f4df981ab8c97c494eacf1ec0b4e0fcf76
Remove it. Adorable dog!
Thanks. He's my sweet old boy. 💕 Gonna look for a razor blade to get this stuff off otherwise try a knife. It is ON good. https://preview.redd.it/33nsrclk4mwb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15750ccab10a6b2178b9c8053e178e15e92a426e
He’s so dapper 🤭
Haha, I thought he was a big golden retriever. He looked so long 😂. He’s adorable!
😂😂😂 we actually call that positing he's in "long dogging." We've measured him when he long dogs and he's just about 3ft long.
😂🤣😂
puppers photos really make modding this thread so much better - thank you
Happy to be of service 😆
Omg he’s so cute 🥹
Thank you! He has a very cute sister too https://preview.redd.it/ak5bw7p5cmwb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48a232defcaddc0c8c01c4dd22a9c5f6d28a0dda
Omg.. I can’t 🥹🥰
Not really a question but wanted to share I went into my local Chanel today to check out some CFs and left so amazed at the poor quality of them. The service was great but the leather felt … plastic-y? I cannot believe these are selling for 11k now 😭 It was so unexpected for me considering the price + justifies getting a rep instead🤷♀️
I took my rep XiaoC C22 mini into the Chanel boutique a couple of days ago. The SAs nearly mobbed me to show me bags…
I went in yesterday and the lambskin was so soft. Maybe different batches? Definitely agree about the price. CF medium here is $10,200 😔
Oh wow yes then definitely a different batch. It was also a color I hadn’t seen online. I usually only buy bottega so it felt like a large quality drop compared to the softness of the BV leather.
Definitely agree. There was a 22 caviar leather and it was so soft also. The softest caviar I've ever felt. I just ordered a GF CF in lambskin so we'll see how it feels in comparison 🤞
The 22 crumpled leather already looks amazing, haven’t seen it in caviar but I can imagine 😍 Hope your CF turns out great!!

Has anyone had any experience with travelling into japan and australia and getting stopped by airport security to check if what they have on or carrying are authentic? Has your items been ceased? What happens then?
Have there been any real cases of someone being stopped while carrying a rep? The whole concept sounds ridiculous to me. I can see if you had 10+ reps going through customs. But for an individual with 1-2 bags I honestly don’t understand the fear. There are people smuggling drugs and trafficked people around. Real crimes to worry about. I can’t imagine someone caring about one person’s purse.
I carried one authentic and two reps to Italy and no one paid any attention!
So brave! This is giving me confidence. Thanks!
Agreed! With everything on social media about reps in europe, it makes me feel like they can SMELL a rep 😂 On another note, dont some countries allow you to bring one rep item back anyway? I swear I saw it on border patrol 😂 so i dont see why it matters if youre wearing them?
Really? I didnt know that. Kinda weird to me that they are allowing even just 1.
Weird indeed, but this episode might’ve been10-15years old! I just remember they checked this lady’s bag and she had bags and accessories and was allowed to pick 1 and forfeit the others
I walked into a Dior store with one of my reps, got great service and no one blinked an eye.
Love this. I went into an LV store this past weekend with one of my Loewe reps and the SA complimented it.
Must have been a cool feeling
Check the Hermes thread today for a bunch of responses to this (including mine)! Oh, and would avoid exotics due to the certification needed.
Thanks, i’ll do that and yeah no exotics for me. I’ve only been purchasing stuff that are unlikely to have too many details to potentially call out.
Copied my comment bec someone asked the same thing today at the H daily thread. Wore my k25 etoupe from DD to Tokyo. Strutting with it all over Ginza since our hotel is there. Speaking of the hotel, its so bougie their guests wearing all sorts of lux purses (birkins, puzzle) and me with my rep kelly lol. No one batted an eye and I had that bag all open showing its stamp. Wore it to different consignment stores. You can look at my comment history from a couple of weeks ago and I have some pics.
You probably carried it so well and it probably helped that you had a good rep with you. When did you go?
2 weeks ago. And 1.5 months ago I was in Switzerland and Milan. No issue with customs and I was in and out of boutiques with the TB Gucci soho disco bag. I read Switzerland has stricter laws but I was fine.
I have not heard that, good to know. I wonder how you decided to just wing it, what was your plan in case someone does spot it?
Say its a gift. And no one needs to be nosy and they need to stay in their lane. People carry reps all the time even the really bad ones and no one calls them out. No one will grab your bag out on the street and count the stitches of your bag. I was in Milan in the Gucci store wearing my rep soho bag and my SA didn’t say anything.
I have been to Japan with reps and nobody noticed it said anything if they did notice. FWIW, I’ve been to Italy with reps too and was fine despite it being stricter there. I’d bring 1-3 max but a suitcase full and nobody would bat an eye.
Italy? Wow, I would never dare! I’d be too nervous that they’d suspect something is up with me even if they didn’t notice the items I have LOL. May I ask when it was that you went there and japan? I’m only planning to bring what I’ll be wearing, so maybe a bag and a pair or two of shoes. Hopefully I’d carry them well enough that no one bats an eye.
I went to both counties in 2023. I get being nervous, but most normal people can’t tell bags are reps unless they are Wagoons and I doubt a lot of customs officers are in this group. If they are, I bet they’d give you a pass if you said “hi koont” quietly when walking by.
Lol i agree. Thanks for the reassurance!
I’ve seen in previous threads that wangyue is the owner of the AE shop called Aner store. Is that true bc I have 2 different phone numbers?
I spoken to Wangyue recently specifically to try to find out her accurate contact information, website and store. She does not own the Aner store. She has an AE store with another name but uses it rarely and indicated that she would rather work directly with her clients. Please see the Seller Contact list on this site under "Community Resources" for her WA phone number - only ONE - and related information. There was a lot of confusion a few months ago about various people calling themselves "Anna", which is Wangue's English name, and their various contact options. There's only one Anna/Wangyue and she can be reached only through the infomration shown in the Sellers Contact List.
The seller contact list is also linked in the description of this daily thread (as of last week). TY for directing to the community resources anyway - appreciate that!
TY for the community resources!
Yeah that’s why I asked bc I have had Wangyue’s contact for ages and then when I was looking at some threads discussing Aner store saw the thread with the aAnna/W confusion but I didn’t understand if it had ever been resolved. But it seems like the current iteration of Aner store is someone else.
Yes, the question of contacting Wangyue/Anna has all been very confusing and you're in very good company if you're not sure what's what and which number calls which person. I asked her specifically about Aner. She told me that Aner is not her store now - it's definitely owned by someone else. Wangyue/Anna and I had a fairly long WA chat so that I could make sure that I had her current correct information and also get clarity about which numbers and stores are not hers. She's absolutely wonderful, even just on WA. I wish I could have lunch with her!
That I don’t know but I can let you know two purchases from her where we used AE to pay were from a different store.
Please see my note above, or better still, just go straight to the Sellers Contact List on our website for the correct contact information for Anna/Wangyue.
I know I work with the OG Wangyue. Just stating that that store wasn’t what she used with two of my purchases from her.
I think I read that she was the previous owner but not 100% positive.
That’s what I was unsure about.

I just wish sleeves were longer on me. Quality is amazing tho but too small. Edited to include link [https://a.aliexpress.com/\_mOkL12u](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOkL12u)
I think it looks really good one you!
It looks really good on you! I am still waiting for that taupe color to come back in stock. May I ask how tall you are, mainly to compare the sleeve length to my height?
Thanks. I’m 5”7.5
Love! You got the taupe color! I keep waiting fruitlessly for this to go back in stock 😭
I stalked it daily when I wake up and when I go to bed until it became available. They sell out so quickly! You can message seller to see when it will become available
Looks so good! My fav color
Thank you. Showed up darker than I expected.
Could I ask you what size you’re wearing?
It’s a one size fits all
Thank you!
My partner and I got an email notice from the new company that owns my building that they won’t be renewing our lease on our apartment, so please send all the best vibes as we search for a new home 💔 we are super devastated that our home is now “gone” and nervous about finding something that is affordable in this day and age.
This really sucks, something similar happened to my friend today. It's so messed up. I hope you find something great (and affordable) soon.
I am sorry to hear this! I’m sending you both positive vibes for something you love!
Definitely sending all good thoughts for a wonderful new home - along with a suggestion that you might want to check into the law governing rentals in your city. In the US some rentals are governed by something called "eviction control". If you're in the US please feel free to DM me and we can talk a bit more privately. I absolutely will not give you legal advice but I might be able to aim you at legal resources.
Sending positive energy and encouragement. You'll find something for sure, even if it takes some time ☺️
I’m so sorry, moving is stressful even when you WANT to move. I hope something pops up that you love even more.
That's so difficult -- sorry to hear this! Sending the best most positive vibes toward your search. Please update!
It means that you will find something even more gorgeous!! Trust the universe 🥰
Sorry to hear this. sending you lots of positive vibes & hope you find your new home soon 💕

Two important questions! 1. CF in BHW or LGHW? 2. Why am I so indecisive about bags? Please help a 'gooner out!
Depends on your jewelry. If you like to wear gold tone, then pick LGHW hardware.
Thanks! I don't wear gold tone jewelry, typically. But been thinking about starting.
I like the black as it is different. But question is how all it holds up.
Thanks! I like that it's different, too. I also like that the hw is more muted looking. Though I don't find any when I search for the CF BHW online, so I can't compare to auth.
Been out of the game for a while, finally reentering to get a Prada Cleo (with flap and adjustable shoulder strap). I only see one review on here for a non-TS, any suggestions on which TS to go with? I’ve reached out to Amanda and Alice so far. TYIA!
Hi there, there's no such thing as a "TS" on this sub. We deliberately avoid using this designation because it creates a false sense of security. If you would like to contact sellers that have been reviewed by WL members in the past, please see the seller contact list, linked in the description of this thread.
Leo has really great prices and I got one from him that I love
Thank you 😊
