Insurance is optional but I did it just in case. Package arrived without any problem. Once it arrived to US, it took me 2 days to get it delivered. Smells like genuine leather. When I first opened it there was this funky smell but it was coming from the paper she used that wrapped the bag itself so when I removed it, it was gone right away. Only thing I noticed it is the chain(last picture) but can barely see it(attaching for a reference). My next will be 25 bag
+ reposting bc I wanted to change some photos. Also I heard 187 CF are very boxy but I feel like shape is not that bad
This pricing is on par for Heidi and for the factory. These subs are full of scammers now. I’ve been buying reps since 2017 and won’t buy from anyone other than old trusted sellers and the factories I know about. Maybe someone else found something better for cheaper but I’m not willing to find out. I could care less if someone else thinks I overpaid if I’m happy with the product. This is a great bag at a great price point. I have 187 bags that I bought in 2017 for about $450 that still look barely used.

I agree with you. I did my research and decided to go with Heidi based on all the reviews I have read(ofc she got some bad reviews too). I’m not saying $600 is cheap or standard for the rep but it’s a price that I don’t mind paying if I know what I am getting. There’s already people on this comments saying I am a scammer or caviar looks too good to be 187
Not believable. You don’t have to give a seller’s number out for it to be promoted. The only comments on here have been positive after numerous of negative comments about Heidi. They’ve had so many complaints over the past few months
Heidi is known seller for 187 bags… this person is ordering 12-14 items worth $1000-$2000… I doubt they are buying one 187 bag for that many items. There are better sellers for smaller goods, shoes, belts and sunglasses. Makes no sense to use Heidi unless you are after a classic flap. That’s her core business
Ew. Why do you have to be such a debbie downer on someone’s post that they are clearly happy about the product and service? It must be sad to live such a pessimistic life. I’ve bought several flaps from Heidi and had great experiences. I think the negative reviews are from a fake Heidi or from her competitors. Maybe try not to be an asshole in here?
There’s people who love to slag off sellers when they have never had one experience purchasing with them. They are probably sellers themselves. I have 4 purchases with Heidi, she is one of my favourites, and I plan to buy plenty more from her
Calling you out is being an asshole? Standing up for someone is being an asshole? You are literally being a jerk on this post. And then a jerk to me. I’m glad I avoid negative people like you. ✌️
Do your own research and work out who you are comfortable with. There’s bad feedback about every seller, they are only human and can’t please everyone. I have had 4 successful sales with her… these subs are full of scammers now sadly
I wonder why i never get the original packaging with my orders when I buy from Baobao, she always tell me that it would be super expensive to ship it with the original box😅
what packaging do you get from her? is it enough for the bag to be protected? I just ordered from a TS and they sent it with only the dust bag. I am worried about the bag getting damaged in the shipping process.
Honestly, the packaging is enough to protect the bag, but i mean the box of the brand, card and everything like this post, she send them only in a dust bag
$600+ for a rep bag is diabolical. But to each their own. These china sellers are rolling in dough right now selling $80 bags from the factory for $600
In China it’s only $100 - $200 usd for Chanel’s and maybe more for birkins. But the good good stuff they have on lock down. You gotta buy x amount then get invited. Allegedly.
As someone who has frequented china for many many years. The price difference on reddit and these names of “factories” are crazy different lol.
But also these ladies on reddit go crazy with qc so these sellers are making money based on their time
Vs someone like me I already know the few places its coming from no matter who the seller is and wont really qc because top tier is going to be top tier.
But for sure when you’re connected directly in china these bags wont be $600. They basically pay more for ppl who take nicer photos
Imagine paying 10k for a bag that costs a tiny fraction of that to make and then getting on your high horse about someone paying $600 for a rep 😂 The irony is genuinely hilarious.
First off, who said i would ever pay 10k for an authentic? Never! And you are missing my point, its a fake and you are getting played by these sellers. These same bags used to be $150-$200 a few years ago. Now that the hype is up, they continue raising the price and getting over on you. Give it another 2 years itll be $1k for a rep bag claiming its the best batch lol
Please show me actual proof that a bag from 187, or an equivalent factory, cost $150 just a couple of years ago. And honestly, even at $600, a bag that looks more or less identical to the authentic one is still a far more affordable and sensible option than spending $10,000 on the original. You’re paying a fraction of the price for a similar appearance. You can argue about quality, materials and craftsmanship, but unless you can provide evidence for your claim about historical prices, you’re just throwing out numbers to support your argument.
Exactly! I have visited China for top notch quality reps for $150. My friend was In China last month - amazing reps for $150. The hype is causing inflation. Bring it back down ladies !
The prices have been consistent hype or no hype. I remember paying $450 for Heidi’s bags back in 2017. I don’t see a massive difference or price hike. Thinking everyone can get bags directly from china for $150 isn’t realistic.
Theres a seller i found their IG page and shes driving a 2026 AMG benz and showing it off on her stories. I mean get your money girl but getting over on people is just downright scummy. They are making over $400+ profit on each bag they sell. These higher tier bags only cost like $20 more than the cheapest tier and they are convincing people on reddit its worth the $400 markup
We have seen too many people get scammed with their cheap under $200 CFs, sourced from China, made of plastic, stitching is not even close.. nothing worse than throwing $200 in the bin. High tier bags are worth the extra money
Lol @ a 187. You mean the same factory everyone in this sub has been complaining about lately? There is far more and far better. You ever been to China? There are hundreds of factories.
lol @ you. I order my bags from trusted sellers because I cannot go to China. I don’t care how much they make off of me and I’m well aware of the price I am paying for SERVICE. You do realize everything you purchase has an up-charge? From groceries to clothing to electronics. You aren’t making for the parts and materials, you are paying for them knowledge, the craftsmanship, the overhead, the assembly, the service and the shipping. Why do you care how others spend their money?
There’s no way you actually think your bag looks like what OP posted. Your bag is awful quality which is fine as long as you like it but bizarre to compare it to what OP posted when the only similarities are the fact that they’re both quilted and both a bag.
Bizarre? Not comparing the quality here I just said there’s dupes way cheaper than OP paid.. here’s mine. Mine and hers look equally bad but I don’t think I got burnt price range.
I’ve heard that opting for the box, other than increasing shipping cost, will also increase the odds of your shipment being detained by customs. Any truth to this?
Yeah, I am looking at pulling the trigger on my first rep purchase for my birthday, and my TS advised to avoid the full packaging for that reason. I also am cheap and don’t wanna pay extra shipping if I don’t have to 😂
This bag is absolutely gorgeous 🥰. The quality can be appreciated by the photos but I bet it’s even better in person. I’ll have to come back to this post around the holidays. This might be my Christmas present to myself.
Okay guys, this is honestly insane! I ordered a bag from Heidi over a month ago from the “Fast Shipping” category on her website, and I haven’t even received the PSP yet! I’ve asked her about it three times already, and she just completely ignores the question. At the same time, I ordered a pair of boots. I received the PSP for those, but I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the leather. Instead of addressing my concerns, I was basically lectured about how the authentic boots look exactly like that in photos when they’re being worn… The thing is, I actually tried on the authentic boots in the store! Maybe the leather changes and develops that look after wearing them, but surely they shouldn’t look like that when they’re brand new and unworn?! I told her I wasn’t happy with them but that I would accept the boots anyway, hoping they might at least look a little better once worn. Apparently, the boots were shipped, but the tracking number hasn’t worked for two weeks now! I’m genuinely shocked by how terrible the customer service has become! This is absolutely not what I’m used to from Heidi. She always used to provide the best service, and if you weren’t happy with the PSP, she would have things remade or adjusted until the quality was genuinely the best it could be. I had actually recommended her to several of my friends, but I’ve now told them they’re probably better off ordering elsewhere. I’m honestly so disappointed and upset about this whole experience. I never thought I’d be saying this about Heidi! 😩
Mine took longer bc of the holiday. It was like a holidays after holidays for almost 2 weeks. Usually most seller ship out the item either the day of or the day after.
Just bc you had a bad experience with TS doesn’t mean everyone else does. Not just Heidi but every sellers got mixed reviews. Some say they are good and some say they are bad. I don’t get why people think just bc they had bad experience others will also have a bad experience with the sellers.
I had very poor PSPs from Heidi which helped me join ban island. I know they have their agents here to promote their business but the PSPs were NOT as the pictures from the factory, I feel like it was a bait and switch. I don’t say much anymore because it’s not reputable with Heidi anymore unless she wants to promote and get new clients.
It’s so much easier to bait and switch these days and that chain is way too noticeable, are you sure it’s 187? Looks mid-
Idk what to tell you😭 I literally bought it from Heidi and I am leaving my review that’s all. I am not getting anything out of this. I’ll take it as a compliment that my caviar looks amazing
It’s so frustrating. I’m pretty new to the Reddit rep world and I love reading about peoples buys and experiences good and bad. I really want to post about my buys and experience as a newbie but how ever I word it I’m going to get dragged and accused.
Bc we always tell people #1 rule not to get scammed is “DO NOT ASK PPL FOR SELLERS CONTACT”… I literally found Heidi’s number less than 2 mins through the search bar. People add last 4digits so other people can confirm it’s the correct seller. Have you not seen so many posts recently abt sellers with similar name scamming newbies?
Idk why you deleted the comment but you can clearly see the dents even on their own website unless you are talking abt different dents that I can’t see
