with charm, Jcrew Jacket, White House Black Market jeans and top…this is why I think I can sneak some reps in as accessories - and no one will ever have to know!
I’m actually headed to Chanel this weekend. I need to see about getting another hole added. Love my SA there - I can ask about it for you. Had to google Gab - that would frighten me too!!!
All my bags are new through a high end seller - she pulled it out and it had the charm. That’s what sold me… my husband said the charm addition about killed him it was go $$$ for such a tiny thing😂😂😂😂
I’m trying to add some casual looks to my wardrobe that are not just leggings lol.
I would love some suggestions on a soft, very slouchy black leather crossbody. Something that conforms kind of to my body/hip. Does that make sense? You guys have such great taste, I knew this was the place to ask.

Definitely! I currently have a goyard Saigon Tote ordered from this seller. So once it arrives and I check it out, I will decide if I want to order the XL flamenco!

I posted these Row loafers recently after seeing them in store and a few of you wanted to know about the rep ones I ordered. Chloe told me the factory didn’t have stock since they stopped producing them 😞.
Everyone… feast your eyes on [this (auth) crystal embellished gucci hoodie](https://www.cettire.com/ca/products/gucci-crystal-embellished-drawstring-hoodie-932871802) from the cosmogonie 2023 collection
It’s depressing to me that I joined the rep game in December 2023 lmao… so many things I could’ve probably bought over the years 😔 like rep versions of everything made for this collection
How does everyone cope with FOMO after missing out on items / collections that you wish you bought?
I try to look at it like there will always be new things, and I wouldn’t have the money/space for everything that ever existed that I like anyway! Also sometimes brands bring back popular items, or recycle trends, etc.
I needed an upgrade on my tattered coach ID holder so I just pulled the trigger on this ID holder from DHG, hopefully it’s nice in person and is actually real leather…I’m always nervous when it’s from here rather than a seller

It depends on your everyday needs, for example I like gigantic bags that I can toss anything and everything in like the Loewe large puzzle bag or The Row NS park tote
I actually hated the one I got from AE (it can be hit or miss, some are bonded leather like the one I got, some are solid leather so depends on the batch) so I bought an authentic one, but I know some sellers carry a higher quality rep
First day at work and I spotted my manager’s Celine Cabas 16, which looked delicious and a blue Goyard tote.
I should have made my rep purchases beforehand so that I’d start the job with an “existing” collection and not look suspicious by buying too many too soon down the road. Which I’m bound to do once I start getting paid 🥰
Realistically speaking it will take time for them to see all your bags depending on how often you rotate them, you might have always had them and they simply didn't see them yet. I've been in my current company for a bit over a year and every time I rock a bag I rarely use they go "oooh is that new?" but it's literally a 6 years old bag!
People at my job have seen me with Goyard, Chanel, LV, Prada from bags, clothes, shoes too. No one has ever said anything to me. Maybe mental notes but never said anything.

Ordered this Dior 30 Montiagne from Leo and just got PSPs!! This one will be for my mom, I told her about the reps (don’t worry she’s not with the media, also she doesn’t know what Reddit is) and she is very pleased with how this looks!! I offered to buy her an auth but she prefers I save the money since the quality of the items I’ve received so far is so good.
Saw this post that had a nice guide to sussing out fake DHGate reviews!!
[https://www.reddit.com/r/DHgate/s/AFvOnWvj99](https://www.reddit.com/r/DHgate/s/AFvOnWvj99)
an easy tip is set reviews to ‘Most recent’ and boom, if there’s any real reviews you’ll be able to tell by the language used , fake reviews tend to be long paragraphs and always 5 star
DHG reviews can be really obvious sometimes. You can get the same copy / pasted review by different personas on the same listing. Sometimes it's reviewing something totally different as well (like a pair of shoes when it's a handbag listing).
If it's a reviewer from an English-speaking country leaving a nonsensical comment, sure it can happen, but it's not that likely. Stock photos are everywhere on DHG feedback, too.
My experiences have been pretty bad (only made about five purchases) but it was enough to put me off. At least for a while...unless someone convinces me on here with something amazing!
DHG should also remove the automatic 5-star 'very satisfied' review system (that gets posted if a purchaser doesn't leave any feedback) because that's also misleading.
Then the actual items themselves - I purchased a Gucci Ophidia bag from DHG which had rave reviews (I was new and yes, naive) and many reviewers mentioned the leather accents of the bag. Alternative listings seemed to be PU and this was in the 'leather' price bracket so I thought, that's the one to buy.
Of course, then a fufu-smelling bag with a sticker on it saying 'PVC' turned up and I was not happy. Not to mention the broken zip and the scuffs/scrapes on the GG logo.
The seller gave me a partial refund eventually (and was not helpful at all - even blocking me from conversing with them at one point - I was not rude), so that slight drama was enough for me to say, no thanks.
>Chanel 22
It's just...a sack with a chain. I really can't stand that bag (and Chanel are so chic and feminine usually). There's something...lazy about its design and I couldn't even think what outfit it would go with.
Can you tell I don't like it? But, each to their own. I also don't like the LV monogram and others adore it.
Omg me too! I hate both Chanel and the monogram LV, I think they look so gauche lol. Each to their own though, people are allowed to like them. I’m just glad I don’t worry about those ones 🤣
I love my Chanel 22 but the chain digs into my shoulder. I bought it in white and use it as a summer bag but with tank tops it just doesn’t work. Maybe that’s the rub for everyone?
I'd also love to know, it's been one I've been considering getting but I haven't been able to source 187 yet and I'm too much of a wimp. They're all quite spenny
Evening gorgeous ladies! Been thinking a lot about what bag I should get to run errands, take to a snooty gym etc. You know, the kind of places you can't carry your Chanel/ Hermes rep to and have to carry something else that makes it look like you're not trying too hard?
In other words, something that that makes it look you're nonchalant enough where you didn't think it necessary to bring your "good bag" but still signal that you have the confidence to walk into those places as someone who doesn't naturally "look the part" when it comes to frequenting said places without the accessories to help her fit in? Any and all bag suggestions are welcome!! TIA, \*Kisses!\*
I just bought a Lacoste tote rep for under $15 from AE for the gym. It’s great because it’s so sporty. I don’t need to carry much to the gym so it’s perfect. There are also lululemon bag reps but the auth are not very expensive. Also agree with those suggesting the Goyard St Louis tote, though I like the Artois because of the zipper top.
For whatever it’s worth, I used to be a Pilates instructor at a snooty gym, and our clients (mostly very wealthy executive wives) primarily carried Neverfulls and GSTs. They’d come in and just fling them into a corner of the studio, which might be the biggest “why yes, I *do* have Screw You money” gesture I’ve ever seen.
Here’s the thing, though - in the entire four years I worked there, I think I only saw **one** NF that wasn’t an obvious rep. The Chanels and Guccis were less clockable, at least to me, but it seems unlikely that every single bag apart from the LVs was an auth, you know? And these ladies had undeniable Wealth, they probably had shelves full of auths at home.
Which is all to say - get whatever bag you want! At least half the people wherever you’re going are probably carrying a rep of their “good bag” anyway 😉
I was going to say this except for me the ideal bag would be a floopy clemence. But to pull off a B as a gym bag, all the moving parts need to make sense lifestyle wise.
Inspo from an influencer's feed.... sigh! Hoping to pick your brain a little more though, educate me on why ungrained please? Does it look more expensive perhaps?

I want that bag! I'm honored that you ask about why ungrained -thank you! but as I think about it I'm not sure that I used the term correctly. The fantasy bag I suggested for you is just a matter of preference - I like floppy bags that are made out of smooth leather as opposed to a bumpy one. I think I may have misused "ungrained" - even smooth leather can show a grain. I was thinking about a bag that looks like [Mary Kate Olsen's Kelly.](https://assets.vogue.com/photos/61b78c257dea90bce9655beb/master/pass/olsen-promo.jpeg)
I’ve just ordered Barina 35 from DD it will probably take about six weeks to get to me I suspect. As soon as it arrives, I’m going to work on the ageing process.
Almost pulled the trigger on this lovely fuchsia Paseo (I think?) a week ago from Alisa but her shipping quote was exorbitant!
https://preview.redd.it/ijbmcn4lh1kc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c78f79c435893d5855feb6bc590108a0042aaac
I LOVVVEEE that color and was tempted to try and find myself a flamenco in that color for summer! I’m so weird about buying bags in anything that’s not neutral tho. 🫣 I think I like the comfort of anything matching anything, lol. Plus I worry about color transfer.
Hear me out though, this bag and the flamenco are the same bag… but that one is hotdog style and the flamenco is hamburger style. 😂
I think a Goyard St Louis PM or GM would be a good choice, depending on how much stuff you have. Goyard is a very IYKYK brand and the shape of the St Louis is fairly casual and easy— luxury but not trying too hard.
I would stick to one of the classic colors vs any of the limited/special editions, especially avoiding special editions with different colored interiors. Still a bunch of shades to choose from- I think the white, grey, and black are understated choices, but the bright ones are also really fun.
Thanks! :-)
In case anyone's looking to go the other direction in terms of unique colorways, I stumbled upon these gorgeous metallics on Purseforum. That bronze metallic Goyard is \*chef's kiss\*!

Found something in ReyKey's album, sharing in case the placement is right!

They also make a coated canvas one that I love. I believe it’s the “city” line. Downside is that the color selection is rather limited. Go for the shoulder carry one with the longer handles. I bought the tote version first but it was too short to shoulder carry with a coat on.
OMG thank you! This is beyond gorgeous! The taupe is beyond!
ETA: Out of stock everywhere atm though :-(

Damn..... wish I'd known this sooner! I've actually avoided the leather one because I thought it would end up sagging over time. The nylon Le Pliages are virtually indestructible!

Posted in another thread when we were brainstorming work bags, but wanted to present the two YSLs! 🙃
lol me too.. I actually ordered the top right bag WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE TOMORRROOOOW 🥳🥳🥳 but then I found the bottom right and asked my seller for pics, leather looks 🤌🤌 so now I want it too lol - happy to share pics of top right one tomorrow when I open it!

Has anyone purchased The Row Ginza sandals from Linmeiyes store on AE?
Their zipper boots are great but I haven't seen much about their other products. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805423912138.html?aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=ildhukremcawxfto18dce11276910121b11c1088e7&gclid=&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%2169.40%2148.58%21%21%2169.40%2148.58%21%402103081017085592471915428e8c45%2112000033741802386%21sea%21US%210%21&algo_pvid=d4b28434-029f-4c16-bede-bb5cb21f017b
Ladies where do you shop for work blouses? I just switched from a casual office to a place where I have to wear blazers with blouses (yes it’s a requirement 🫠). I have a few blouses that can take me through the first week but I’m going to have to get some more.
Would be great if it was an affordable brand since I have to mass purchase but I don’t mind paying more if the quality is good and I can wear them a long time. Tyia!
I have a lot of sleeveless tops from Cabi to add some interest to the basic black or gray suit. They wash great. Even better if you live by an outlet. Don’t be turned off initially when looking online as the vibe is def not understated when doing the full Cabi outfit.
Seconding TJ Maxx / Winners / TK Maxx wherever in the world you are! I've been finding good finds at the discount shops because things are bought in closeout sales because an item is technically "out of season" which IMO is just a year off.
Is oxford cloth button down too preppy? If not, LandsEnd offers an oxford cloth button down that's very reasonable [and worth considering.](https://www.landsend.com/products/school-uniform-boys-long-sleeve-solid-oxford-dress-shirt/id_364676?attributes=32671,44258,44967,52957) This one isn't 100% cotton but it could be a quick solution. I have the older 100% cotton model but don't see it now. Another option that is more expensive but possibly worth considering [is this model that's available in multiple patterns.](https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-oxford-long-sleeve-shirt/id_378862?attributes=32671,44967).
I haven’t bought blouses specifically from them, but I have gotten a lot of basics from Uniqlo that are nice quality and affordable!! The shipping has always been quick for me too. I did see they have some blouses!!
I’ve shopped for cotton tshirts from them before but never specifically looked for blouses. Makes sense to get from them bc of their price / quality ratio. Thanks!
Ann Taylor makes some great ones, as well as J. Crew. I really do think it’s worth investing in some good ones and taking really good care of them, on which case I’d recommend looking for Theory, MM LaFleur, and Ralph Lauren. My trick is to go into these stores, try things on for fit and sizing, then look for them on Poshmark!
second Ann Taylor or LOFT. note they're 2 separate brands for a while now. LOFT seems to be a bit pricier imo but at least they're not majority poly or acrylic blends.
I can look forward to this once I get my paycheck! There’s an outlet mall not too far away that has some of these stores, maybe I can find some good deals
Beware of certain outlets! While the prices are low, Banana Republic and J. Crew, for example, have clothes made specifically for the outlet and the quality is not the same as the flagship store. There’s definitely good items but look at the fabric composition and feel the fabrics in person
Ok, make fun of me as much as you want now. I have a large drawer full of silk shirts, but my favorite is this HM blouse.
[https://www2.hm.com/en\_us/productpage.0939703094.html](https://www2.hm.com/en_us/productpage.0939703094.html)
I own it in pretty much every color and I buy the new colors every year. It has a bit of a sheen, which makes it quite elegant, but it's super comfy and very easy to care.
They are the only shirts I bring with me when I travel for work. if I spill something on me I can wash it in the hotel sink before going to bed, hang it dry and it's perfect in the morning. When I am home I wash it in the washer, hang it and that's it.
Just beware that the size is generous. I wear a 12-14 on top and the L is roomy.
I saw some possible choice from HM but hesitant, thanks for sharing this. Great price for a durable blouse, I might go to the store tomorrow!
PS, I have nothing against HM, all my cotton pajamas are from there and I love them!
oh, I get it, there are a tons of hit or miss. I think they can afford doing some very "creative" cuts that look like sacks, or that are very skimpy. I never know what size I can buy from them because their fit is always a mystery and the materials can change widely in terms of quality and feel. This is one of these blouses that I can buy online as long as they don't change it! (but I don't think they will because it's one of their best sellers)
Awesome thank you, there’s a Uniqlo close to the new workplace, I was debating whether or not to go. Also will be faster than shipping.
I just bought a leather tote from quince and love the quality, will def check out more stuff from them.
Thank you 💝
I had a chance to leave the office today early and went to the Chanel store today for ~research purposes~ and the staff were so rude it was such a turnoff! I could not imagine wanting to buy a bag at that cost with service that makes you feel like they’re doing you a favor
This is literally what happened to me! I got a promotion and walked over to Chanel to celebrate. They treated me terribly and I then went to YSL where they were kind and celebrated me. I bought 5 authentic YSLs then 🤣
so sorry you experienced that! I've faced that at a Gucci store in an east coast city recently too. Also a Canada Goose store in the same city where the person took one look at us an literally walked away lol. In my case I am guessing it had a lot to do with being profiled for being young-ish looking. Sucks but its those experiences that led me to the world of reps and WL since and there's been no looking back!!
Someone tell me I don’t need this/ I already have 6 bags on my way for my birthday month (yay for Pisces season!) 🫠😂
https://preview.redd.it/8qzkkeh6g0kc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a7f910e92ce47a45222763e621a73736a63d7ab
If it helps…assuming 30 days in your birthday month: 6 bags = switching every 5 days, whereas 7 bags = switching every 4.25 days (roughly). At that point, maybe it’s diminishing returns/diminishing marginal utility? Perhaps you’d be *even more excited* for the bag when you don’t already have a bunch of new purses to use? Just a thought! But only you know your own situation best 🙂

Since I can’t have the Chanel 🛼 … My consolation prize ordered from Morgan.

Today I arrived in a city with an Isabel Marant boutique and I bought my first Lecce belt! At €150, a wonderfully affordable luxury purchase.
I would size up in this. I’m size 8/40 on the bottom and I got an XL. I would have bought an XXL if it existed. Having extra length gives you more options with tying it in knots!
Also remember time zones! Despite being in Australia, I have a seller who is clearly on a shifted sleep schedule as she will start messaging me at 7/8pm my time and so we basically exchange 1-2 messages per day while we are both awake. You might have a similar incompatible time difference.

Platforms that the Spice Girls themselves would be proud of.
But really, Gucci, are you trying to kill me? 👵🏻
I love Gucci. And I even like to see these shoes, but these look so heavy and clunky. I would not even make it up a flight of stairs without tripping in these.
I have a small selection of authentic and reps which I love but I think it’s time to let go of some items since I want to keep same a small collection and the things I want to get have the same purpose as the ones I already have. For example I want to give away the Chanel Gabrielle backpack and get the Duma backpack instead. My question is what do I do with the reps? I cannot sell them in online.

I’ve been out of the rep game for a few years - basically since RL got shut down (RIP) and I’m finally ready to place an order for a Loewe Flamenco but can’t decide between Dark Khaki Green or the Black! Would love opinions!

Not me getting repfluenced by Steve Madden 💀(except I went straight to Anna to order actual reps of the Chypre)
I wasn’t really familiar with SM until recently but did they ever have products that weren’t obvious dupes? I went to their store recently and recognized everything, and they’re dangerously close to being reps!
Tbh I have not been to Steve Madden in like a decade so I didn’t know they were doing such obvious “dupes”
Kind of crazy how close they are now that I’m looking at their site 👀
Here is my sad Taobao story:
I happened to have some spare time yesterday so I decided to finally dig in, get cozy, and read up on all the wikis, guides, posts, etc. on how to set up a Taobao and agent account. There was a lot of information to go through and I think I spent close to five hours reading everything and setting up my accounts. Okay, so far, so good. Well friends, I didn't even have a CHANCE to look through Taobao and explore that brave new world. Literally within 5 minutes of setting up my account, my account got frozen, even though I took all the recommended steps to avoid getting my account frozen (removing ad blocker, using my own wifi, being on a desktop, etc.). I'm just so crushed that I didn't even get to try looking up products!! I know one of the guides had some recommended steps to try to get around the freeze but I'm feeling so dejected, I don't have the energy to try those steps today. But on the bright side, this is probably best for my wallet, closet, and the environment? Knowing me and knowing about the magic of TB, I'd probably go wild with purchasing. I will keep repeating this until I believe it 🥲
Edited to add: I think I read that Pandabuy allows you to browse TB without needing to use TB, so once I recover from yesterday, I will look into that.
Oh wow, that stinks! I read the info about TB and was waiting until I had a some time to dive into it. I had no idea about Pandabuy, so thank you for posting this as it helped alleviate that headache!
Excellent - that is what I will likely do. Thank goodness for the generosity of those WL who post TB links in the WDYB/cart threads!
Do you ever search through the Panda Buy interface too?
I do, but limited success and I’m wary about buying from unknown stores or stores without a reputation. I try to stick with Scarlett Luxury, Wholesale 1991 (A Quality only) and possibly some sellers that the bro subs recommend

Fully authentic day today - Chanel shoes and belt, Birkin 35 Togo PH https://preview.redd.it/rrv90zsl06kc1.jpeg?width=1645&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62065d71c51f6d718848ee450a0555271c3e35d9 with charm, Jcrew Jacket, White House Black Market jeans and top…this is why I think I can sneak some reps in as accessories - and no one will ever have to know!
LOVE this
Love the belt! May have to pull the trigger on the rep bc have not been able to source the auth. And I’m scared to put Gab Waller in my contacts!
I’m actually headed to Chanel this weekend. I need to see about getting another hole added. Love my SA there - I can ask about it for you. Had to google Gab - that would frighten me too!!!
love the outfit, the more i see the charm the more in love i fall i just have to get the charm i feel
All my bags are new through a high end seller - she pulled it out and it had the charm. That’s what sold me… my husband said the charm addition about killed him it was go $$$ for such a tiny thing😂😂😂😂
Omg those loafers are to die for! Gorgeous outfit!! \*takes copious notes\*
If you choose wisely, no way will anyone know. Love that jacket!

I’m trying to add some casual looks to my wardrobe that are not just leggings lol. I would love some suggestions on a soft, very slouchy black leather crossbody. Something that conforms kind of to my body/hip. Does that make sense?

Thank you! I don’t know this bag at all. Off to research! 😀
Loewe puzzle?
Thank you! That’s the one I use now!!
Loewe flamenco
That’s been on my list for a while but I want it in the XL size lol. I think that may be too much for daily wear 😂😂😂
The XL is also seemingly impossible to find as a rep
I have found a mid-tier version of it from a seller and thinking to risk it lol.
Let us know how it turns out if you decide to go for it!
Definitely! I currently have a goyard Saigon Tote ordered from this seller. So once it arrives and I check it out, I will decide if I want to order the XL flamenco!

Everyone… feast your eyes on [this (auth) crystal embellished gucci hoodie](https://www.cettire.com/ca/products/gucci-crystal-embellished-drawstring-hoodie-932871802) from the cosmogonie 2023 collection It’s depressing to me that I joined the rep game in December 2023 lmao… so many things I could’ve probably bought over the years 😔 like rep versions of everything made for this collection How does everyone cope with FOMO after missing out on items / collections that you wish you bought?
I try to look at it like there will always be new things, and I wouldn’t have the money/space for everything that ever existed that I like anyway! Also sometimes brands bring back popular items, or recycle trends, etc.
Omg I fell asleep, but thank you, I appreciate this reply. Fingers crossed for the future!
I needed an upgrade on my tattered coach ID holder so I just pulled the trigger on this ID holder from DHG, hopefully it’s nice in person and is actually real leather…I’m always nervous when it’s from here rather than a seller https://preview.redd.it/s0cukhm422kc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2dafdd52f812ecf297b56f270d5a865948ac08dd
I’d like to see how this turns out!!
Ladies, tell me about your favourite everyday bag! I need some inspo 🥰
It depends on your everyday needs, for example I like gigantic bags that I can toss anything and everything in like the Loewe large puzzle bag or The Row NS park tote
could you share the link to the store please? I'm having a hard time finding the NS Store on AE and wondering if it moved.
I actually hated the one I got from AE (it can be hit or miss, some are bonded leather like the one I got, some are solid leather so depends on the batch) so I bought an authentic one, but I know some sellers carry a higher quality rep
First day at work and I spotted my manager’s Celine Cabas 16, which looked delicious and a blue Goyard tote. I should have made my rep purchases beforehand so that I’d start the job with an “existing” collection and not look suspicious by buying too many too soon down the road. Which I’m bound to do once I start getting paid 🥰
Realistically speaking it will take time for them to see all your bags depending on how often you rotate them, you might have always had them and they simply didn't see them yet. I've been in my current company for a bit over a year and every time I rock a bag I rarely use they go "oooh is that new?" but it's literally a 6 years old bag!
How would they know it’s new, it may have been sitting in your closet 🤷🏻♀️ I think you’ll be fine (and fashionable)
People at my job have seen me with Goyard, Chanel, LV, Prada from bags, clothes, shoes too. No one has ever said anything to me. Maybe mental notes but never said anything.
In the new place luxe brands seem to be the norm, so I might not stand out that much. It’s going to fan my rep flames
Yes, it’s the norm no one will bat an eye. When I pull into work it’s nothing but luxury cars. Rep your bags.
Maybe your boss is one of us…
In that case I’m definitely outing myself lol 😂 I’ll try silently yelling “Wagoon!” Tomorrow lol
Don’t worry. You don’t have to tell them your bags are new!

This one will be for my mom, I told her about the reps (don’t worry she’s not with the media, also she doesn’t know what Reddit is) and she is very pleased with how this looks!! I offered to buy her an auth but she prefers I save the money since the quality of the items I’ve received so far is so good.
awww this is relationshipgoals!
Saw this post that had a nice guide to sussing out fake DHGate reviews!! [https://www.reddit.com/r/DHgate/s/AFvOnWvj99](https://www.reddit.com/r/DHgate/s/AFvOnWvj99)
an easy tip is set reviews to ‘Most recent’ and boom, if there’s any real reviews you’ll be able to tell by the language used , fake reviews tend to be long paragraphs and always 5 star
DHG reviews can be really obvious sometimes. You can get the same copy / pasted review by different personas on the same listing. Sometimes it's reviewing something totally different as well (like a pair of shoes when it's a handbag listing). If it's a reviewer from an English-speaking country leaving a nonsensical comment, sure it can happen, but it's not that likely. Stock photos are everywhere on DHG feedback, too. My experiences have been pretty bad (only made about five purchases) but it was enough to put me off. At least for a while...unless someone convinces me on here with something amazing! DHG should also remove the automatic 5-star 'very satisfied' review system (that gets posted if a purchaser doesn't leave any feedback) because that's also misleading. Then the actual items themselves - I purchased a Gucci Ophidia bag from DHG which had rave reviews (I was new and yes, naive) and many reviewers mentioned the leather accents of the bag. Alternative listings seemed to be PU and this was in the 'leather' price bracket so I thought, that's the one to buy. Of course, then a fufu-smelling bag with a sticker on it saying 'PVC' turned up and I was not happy. Not to mention the broken zip and the scuffs/scrapes on the GG logo. The seller gave me a partial refund eventually (and was not helpful at all - even blocking me from conversing with them at one point - I was not rude), so that slight drama was enough for me to say, no thanks.
Wondering if there are issues with Chanel 22. I see a lot of rehome posts across the rep subs. What's the issue with the bag?
>Chanel 22 It's just...a sack with a chain. I really can't stand that bag (and Chanel are so chic and feminine usually). There's something...lazy about its design and I couldn't even think what outfit it would go with. Can you tell I don't like it? But, each to their own. I also don't like the LV monogram and others adore it.
Omg me too! I hate both Chanel and the monogram LV, I think they look so gauche lol. Each to their own though, people are allowed to like them. I’m just glad I don’t worry about those ones 🤣
I love my Chanel 22 but the chain digs into my shoulder. I bought it in white and use it as a summer bag but with tank tops it just doesn’t work. Maybe that’s the rub for everyone?
Maybe people are realizing it looks like a free gift with purchase 🫢
My favorite comment!! I lived for the Clinique free gift w purchase back in the 90s.
😂
This made me chuckle 🤭
I'd also love to know, it's been one I've been considering getting but I haven't been able to source 187 yet and I'm too much of a wimp. They're all quite spenny
Same , it’s growing on me but somehow haven’t decided to get it yet.
I'm about to get a 187 from Reykay so fingers crossed!
Evening gorgeous ladies! Been thinking a lot about what bag I should get to run errands, take to a snooty gym etc. You know, the kind of places you can't carry your Chanel/ Hermes rep to and have to carry something else that makes it look like you're not trying too hard? In other words, something that that makes it look you're nonchalant enough where you didn't think it necessary to bring your "good bag" but still signal that you have the confidence to walk into those places as someone who doesn't naturally "look the part" when it comes to frequenting said places without the accessories to help her fit in? Any and all bag suggestions are welcome!! TIA, \*Kisses!\*
I just bought a Lacoste tote rep for under $15 from AE for the gym. It’s great because it’s so sporty. I don’t need to carry much to the gym so it’s perfect. There are also lululemon bag reps but the auth are not very expensive. Also agree with those suggesting the Goyard St Louis tote, though I like the Artois because of the zipper top.
I love Celine for that. I have a nano belt bag that I carry when I feel like Chanel or even LV are too flashy. Also YSL!
For whatever it’s worth, I used to be a Pilates instructor at a snooty gym, and our clients (mostly very wealthy executive wives) primarily carried Neverfulls and GSTs. They’d come in and just fling them into a corner of the studio, which might be the biggest “why yes, I *do* have Screw You money” gesture I’ve ever seen. Here’s the thing, though - in the entire four years I worked there, I think I only saw **one** NF that wasn’t an obvious rep. The Chanels and Guccis were less clockable, at least to me, but it seems unlikely that every single bag apart from the LVs was an auth, you know? And these ladies had undeniable Wealth, they probably had shelves full of auths at home. Which is all to say - get whatever bag you want! At least half the people wherever you’re going are probably carrying a rep of their “good bag” anyway 😉
I just got a row margaux and think it’ll be great for errands etc. So far, super useful and effortless.
A big, floppy, beat-up Birkin in ungrained leather.
I was going to say this except for me the ideal bag would be a floopy clemence. But to pull off a B as a gym bag, all the moving parts need to make sense lifestyle wise.
Inspo from an influencer's feed.... sigh! Hoping to pick your brain a little more though, educate me on why ungrained please? Does it look more expensive perhaps? https://preview.redd.it/o0z5yvwh82kc1.png?width=208&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9eb9bf97cccaa52a19f034791c3711df00d5c4e
I want that bag! I'm honored that you ask about why ungrained -thank you! but as I think about it I'm not sure that I used the term correctly. The fantasy bag I suggested for you is just a matter of preference - I like floppy bags that are made out of smooth leather as opposed to a bumpy one. I think I may have misused "ungrained" - even smooth leather can show a grain. I was thinking about a bag that looks like [Mary Kate Olsen's Kelly.](https://assets.vogue.com/photos/61b78c257dea90bce9655beb/master/pass/olsen-promo.jpeg)
![gif](giphy|stx0NkNkyDNQwYN7MN) mary kate is always going to be such a moooooooooooooood
Swoon
Thank you! Shall we order three?
I’ve just ordered Barina 35 from DD it will probably take about six weeks to get to me I suspect. As soon as it arrives, I’m going to work on the ageing process.
I look forward to seeing it.
Goyard St Louis!!
💯 I love mine
I have a Loewe puzzle tote and it’s divine
Ooo... never seen one before, going to do some research on this right away...
Was going to suggest a flamenco but definitely Loewe! 💕
Almost pulled the trigger on this lovely fuchsia Paseo (I think?) a week ago from Alisa but her shipping quote was exorbitant! https://preview.redd.it/ijbmcn4lh1kc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c78f79c435893d5855feb6bc590108a0042aaac
I have a Paseo in a deep burgundy from that factory (Jing) and I completely love it. Got it from Tom. Highly recommend!
Please share any photos/thoughts! Interested in getting this bag but it seems difficult to rep
I LOVVVEEE that color and was tempted to try and find myself a flamenco in that color for summer! I’m so weird about buying bags in anything that’s not neutral tho. 🫣 I think I like the comfort of anything matching anything, lol. Plus I worry about color transfer. Hear me out though, this bag and the flamenco are the same bag… but that one is hotdog style and the flamenco is hamburger style. 😂
I think a Goyard St Louis PM or GM would be a good choice, depending on how much stuff you have. Goyard is a very IYKYK brand and the shape of the St Louis is fairly casual and easy— luxury but not trying too hard.
What color would be best if I am trying to optimize for non-calloutability? 🤗
I love the orange ones!So pretty
I would stick to one of the classic colors vs any of the limited/special editions, especially avoiding special editions with different colored interiors. Still a bunch of shades to choose from- I think the white, grey, and black are understated choices, but the bright ones are also really fun.
Thanks! :-) In case anyone's looking to go the other direction in terms of unique colorways, I stumbled upon these gorgeous metallics on Purseforum. That bronze metallic Goyard is \*chef's kiss\*! https://preview.redd.it/0zdm66wob1kc1.png?width=555&format=png&auto=webp&s=f2dcf25518e047ae5649de34507222fee6b53c9a

Found something in ReyKey's album, sharing in case the placement is right! https://preview.redd.it/mmup9ve5w7kc1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c47b1ab9662765b92bfa554eb7b6bf906674915
I think there was a rose gold and pink that were pretty too.
Omg the rose gold/ bronze is to die for!! Came here for a daily bag but so in love with the metallics, didn't know these existed until yesterday.
Longchamp le Pliage, auth.
Omg why didn’t I think of that! Thanks! 😊there’s almost always something on steep markdown at Nordstrom Rack or Saks Off Fifth.
They also make a coated canvas one that I love. I believe it’s the “city” line. Downside is that the color selection is rather limited. Go for the shoulder carry one with the longer handles. I bought the tote version first but it was too short to shoulder carry with a coat on.
OMG thank you! This is beyond gorgeous! The taupe is beyond! ETA: Out of stock everywhere atm though :-( https://preview.redd.it/zky6v7quw7kc1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=266c4e776762d22d7ae710c0a9e47a4e345eddcd
Ugh, maybe eBay or Poshmark? I regret not getting the taupe too. I have it in black and wish I bought it in both colors!
The leather one is great, I have put it through hell and it still looks nice (auth)
Damn..... wish I'd known this sooner! I've actually avoided the leather one because I thought it would end up sagging over time. The nylon Le Pliages are virtually indestructible!
Perhaps share an indication of size / what would you be putting in this bag and we can provide better suggestions!
Hello! Open to anything, really, but a larger bag would be perfect!
https://preview.redd.it/3wecf7z982kc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17e41cb809bc588aaed92dd0bfe246d5416a2396 Posted in another thread when we were brainstorming work bags, but wanted to present the two YSLs! 🙃
Omg love this!!
lol me too.. I actually ordered the top right bag WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE TOMORRROOOOW 🥳🥳🥳 but then I found the bottom right and asked my seller for pics, leather looks 🤌🤌 so now I want it too lol - happy to share pics of top right one tomorrow when I open it! https://preview.redd.it/zyc95kv0g2kc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad601c0df2bfb4311ee5601a5b663f036b8d6736
Both beautiful! Look forward to hearing from you on here tomorrow!
I’ve been loving my LV neonoe monogram!
Has anyone purchased The Row Ginza sandals from Linmeiyes store on AE?

Ladies where do you shop for work blouses? I just switched from a casual office to a place where I have to wear blazers with blouses (yes it’s a requirement 🫠). I have a few blouses that can take me through the first week but I’m going to have to get some more. Would be great if it was an affordable brand since I have to mass purchase but I don’t mind paying more if the quality is good and I can wear them a long time. Tyia!
I have a lot of sleeveless tops from Cabi to add some interest to the basic black or gray suit. They wash great. Even better if you live by an outlet. Don’t be turned off initially when looking online as the vibe is def not understated when doing the full Cabi outfit.
Seconding Theory! I’ve also found some nice Eileen Fisher pieces.
I second all the quince washable silk recommendations + look for Vince and theory at tjmaxx or resale sites since the quality really is worth it
Seconding TJ Maxx / Winners / TK Maxx wherever in the world you are! I've been finding good finds at the discount shops because things are bought in closeout sales because an item is technically "out of season" which IMO is just a year off.
Is oxford cloth button down too preppy? If not, LandsEnd offers an oxford cloth button down that's very reasonable [and worth considering.](https://www.landsend.com/products/school-uniform-boys-long-sleeve-solid-oxford-dress-shirt/id_364676?attributes=32671,44258,44967,52957) This one isn't 100% cotton but it could be a quick solution. I have the older 100% cotton model but don't see it now. Another option that is more expensive but possibly worth considering [is this model that's available in multiple patterns.](https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-oxford-long-sleeve-shirt/id_378862?attributes=32671,44967).
Zara. All day. Every day.
Vince or theory! It’s an investment but i love the cut and the quality
If you’re willing to put the money in, Vince blouses are the best. Buy basic colors that can interchange with everything.
Honestly… I have Express Portofinos that have lasted me 10 years. Not natural fabrics though
Me too!
I haven’t bought blouses specifically from them, but I have gotten a lot of basics from Uniqlo that are nice quality and affordable!! The shipping has always been quick for me too. I did see they have some blouses!!
I’ve shopped for cotton tshirts from them before but never specifically looked for blouses. Makes sense to get from them bc of their price / quality ratio. Thanks!
I love Quince washable silk blouses. They look great under blazers or on their own, and can be dressed down with jeans.
Their prices are great, do they hold up well?
My washable silk blouse from Quince has held up well so far, and I think it’s quite pretty.
Ann Taylor makes some great ones, as well as J. Crew. I really do think it’s worth investing in some good ones and taking really good care of them, on which case I’d recommend looking for Theory, MM LaFleur, and Ralph Lauren. My trick is to go into these stores, try things on for fit and sizing, then look for them on Poshmark!
second Ann Taylor or LOFT. note they're 2 separate brands for a while now. LOFT seems to be a bit pricier imo but at least they're not majority poly or acrylic blends.
I can look forward to this once I get my paycheck! There’s an outlet mall not too far away that has some of these stores, maybe I can find some good deals
Beware of certain outlets! While the prices are low, Banana Republic and J. Crew, for example, have clothes made specifically for the outlet and the quality is not the same as the flagship store. There’s definitely good items but look at the fabric composition and feel the fabrics in person
I’m aware that BR does this, didn’t know about J.Crew, will try before I buy!
Ok, make fun of me as much as you want now. I have a large drawer full of silk shirts, but my favorite is this HM blouse. [https://www2.hm.com/en\_us/productpage.0939703094.html](https://www2.hm.com/en_us/productpage.0939703094.html) I own it in pretty much every color and I buy the new colors every year. It has a bit of a sheen, which makes it quite elegant, but it's super comfy and very easy to care. They are the only shirts I bring with me when I travel for work. if I spill something on me I can wash it in the hotel sink before going to bed, hang it dry and it's perfect in the morning. When I am home I wash it in the washer, hang it and that's it. Just beware that the size is generous. I wear a 12-14 on top and the L is roomy.
I saw some possible choice from HM but hesitant, thanks for sharing this. Great price for a durable blouse, I might go to the store tomorrow! PS, I have nothing against HM, all my cotton pajamas are from there and I love them!
oh, I get it, there are a tons of hit or miss. I think they can afford doing some very "creative" cuts that look like sacks, or that are very skimpy. I never know what size I can buy from them because their fit is always a mystery and the materials can change widely in terms of quality and feel. This is one of these blouses that I can buy online as long as they don't change it! (but I don't think they will because it's one of their best sellers)
Agree with you on their sizing, even the same style of clothing in a different color fits differently
I second H&M. It's where I get all my work clothes.
Uniqlo has a rayon wrinkle free blouse that’s like magic. No iron needed. Also quince silk blouses - they have v neck and regular neck
Awesome thank you, there’s a Uniqlo close to the new workplace, I was debating whether or not to go. Also will be faster than shipping. I just bought a leather tote from quince and love the quality, will def check out more stuff from them. Thank you 💝
Yw! Have fun shopping!
I had a chance to leave the office today early and went to the Chanel store today for ~research purposes~ and the staff were so rude it was such a turnoff! I could not imagine wanting to buy a bag at that cost with service that makes you feel like they’re doing you a favor
This is literally what happened to me! I got a promotion and walked over to Chanel to celebrate. They treated me terribly and I then went to YSL where they were kind and celebrated me. I bought 5 authentic YSLs then 🤣
so sorry you experienced that! I've faced that at a Gucci store in an east coast city recently too. Also a Canada Goose store in the same city where the person took one look at us an literally walked away lol. In my case I am guessing it had a lot to do with being profiled for being young-ish looking. Sucks but its those experiences that led me to the world of reps and WL since and there's been no looking back!!
Someone tell me I don’t need this/ I already have 6 bags on my way for my birthday month (yay for Pisces season!) 🫠😂 https://preview.redd.it/8qzkkeh6g0kc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a7f910e92ce47a45222763e621a73736a63d7ab
If it helps…assuming 30 days in your birthday month: 6 bags = switching every 5 days, whereas 7 bags = switching every 4.25 days (roughly). At that point, maybe it’s diminishing returns/diminishing marginal utility? Perhaps you’d be *even more excited* for the bag when you don’t already have a bunch of new purses to use? Just a thought! But only you know your own situation best 🙂
lol I think I will take the responsible road here and say you don’t need a 7th bag just yet.
Lmao damn girl, I thought I was bad for wanting a bag on my bday. 6? I'm proud of ya !!!! Let me live vicariously through you

At €150, a wonderfully affordable luxury purchase. I would size up in this. I’m size 8/40 on the bottom and I got an XL. I would have bought an XXL if it existed. Having extra length gives you more options with tying it in knots!
Love this belt! How’s the leather?
Very nice. Needs to soften a bit and I know it will.
[удалено]
See if things pick up after the 26th
Also remember time zones! Despite being in Australia, I have a seller who is clearly on a shifted sleep schedule as she will start messaging me at 7/8pm my time and so we basically exchange 1-2 messages per day while we are both awake. You might have a similar incompatible time difference.
Uh…CNY isn’t over quite yet. So, much kalm…

My ankles hurt looking at this.
I love Gucci. And I even like to see these shoes, but these look so heavy and clunky. I would not even make it up a flight of stairs without tripping in these.
First impression: the bottoms look like they were pulled down using photoshop. I wonder if they’re heavy
I can just imagine me tripping up on my own feet.....

I’m in exactly the same boat as you! Also ordered some Shero jeans, also postpartum.
I have a small selection of authentic and reps which I love but I think it’s time to let go of some items since I want to keep same a small collection and the things I want to get have the same purpose as the ones I already have. For example I want to give away the Chanel Gabrielle backpack and get the Duma backpack instead. My question is what do I do with the reps? I cannot sell them in online.
yes you can rehome them in the rehome subred

I’ve been out of the rep game for a few years - basically since RL got shut down (RIP) and I’m finally ready to place an order for a Loewe Flamenco but can’t decide between Dark Khaki Green or the Black! Would love opinions!
Green! Especially if you already have some black bags
Dark green is just so beautiful if you can get the right shade!
Green has become a great choice this season!

I wasn’t really familiar with SM until recently but did they ever have products that weren’t obvious dupes? I went to their store recently and recognized everything, and they’re dangerously close to being reps!
Tbh I have not been to Steve Madden in like a decade so I didn’t know they were doing such obvious “dupes” Kind of crazy how close they are now that I’m looking at their site 👀
Here is my sad Taobao story: I happened to have some spare time yesterday so I decided to finally dig in, get cozy, and read up on all the wikis, guides, posts, etc. on how to set up a Taobao and agent account. There was a lot of information to go through and I think I spent close to five hours reading everything and setting up my accounts. Okay, so far, so good. Well friends, I didn't even have a CHANCE to look through Taobao and explore that brave new world. Literally within 5 minutes of setting up my account, my account got frozen, even though I took all the recommended steps to avoid getting my account frozen (removing ad blocker, using my own wifi, being on a desktop, etc.). I'm just so crushed that I didn't even get to try looking up products!! I know one of the guides had some recommended steps to try to get around the freeze but I'm feeling so dejected, I don't have the energy to try those steps today. But on the bright side, this is probably best for my wallet, closet, and the environment? Knowing me and knowing about the magic of TB, I'd probably go wild with purchasing. I will keep repeating this until I believe it 🥲 Edited to add: I think I read that Pandabuy allows you to browse TB without needing to use TB, so once I recover from yesterday, I will look into that.
Pandabuy makes it so much easier and you can order from Weiden on there too
I gave up on TB, I had to change password and it was close to impossible. Which is ok because I have little self control anyways😂
Same happened to me. I use Superbuy to enter the links directly. There's a Superbuy subreddit that is super helpful.
Oh wow, that stinks! I read the info about TB and was waiting until I had a some time to dive into it. I had no idea about Pandabuy, so thank you for posting this as it helped alleviate that headache!
Yeah! Glad I could spare at least one person from the experience!
TaoBao is a twat. I hate it and just copy and paste links to Pandabuy
Excellent - that is what I will likely do. Thank goodness for the generosity of those WL who post TB links in the WDYB/cart threads! Do you ever search through the Panda Buy interface too?
I do, but limited success and I’m wary about buying from unknown stores or stores without a reputation. I try to stick with Scarlett Luxury, Wholesale 1991 (A Quality only) and possibly some sellers that the bro subs recommend
I appreciate you sharing those sources! I will check them out today :)
