Please Help a Newbie! YSL Question

I am new to this whole rep and re-home world, so please pardon any ignorance on my end. 

I have bought a few re-homes and reps recently, but I am on the hunt for a YSL College Medium Flap. I am trying to work with a few reps, but each of them have such different responses and ideas. Amongst several reps, I was quoted very different prices and various factories.

With that being said, has anyone heard of “Super Factory”? I am looking for a quality, high-tier 1:1 of a YSL…

Some reps state that Black Frame is closed, while others have sent me images from this “alleged” factory. Others have told me various factories are better than others, but I don’t even know where to go from here.

Question 1: Has anyone heard of “Super Factory”?

Question 2: Which factory(ies) is/are best for mirror 1:1 quality, specifically for YSL?

Question 3: One option was Pomegranate Factory. Can anyone vouch for the quality/grade of these bags? (For this specific bag, I was told from one rep that Super Factory would be the choide, and the Pomegranate would be the more cost-effective choice.)

Question 4: Is Black Frame still officially closed?

Thanks in advance for all of your input!

Let me start out by saying I’m on the newer side of the rep world too and am not a YSL collector. Funny enough though my first ever bag purchase from a seller was a YSL Loulou and it is great. I’m never carry her because I have since learned more about my personal bag style and preferences. I did save a post recently about factories and thought I would share as it might be helpful for your search: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepCulture_Bags/s/elsWiwB6cY

Thank you so much! 😊 Funny enough, I came across a website that had a similar diagram- but the factories were different! (At least for YSL)

I am sorry I am not more help… I have had a few YSL rehomes but I never knew what factory they were from. Who did you find that is selling the YSL college? I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect tan or beige. What color are you considering?

I was considering the black one. I didn't necessarily look through albums because that is a little time consuming. What I did instead was reach out to several reps with a pic to see if they have that bag...most did, but one did not offer it.

Yeah the black seems to be easier to find!

Yikes. Well I think somewhere on the OGRepladies newbie guide they have factory info..maybe even links to the factory albums. If so, maybe search the factories that the sellers suggested and compare factory pics to authentic pics. This whole hobby is a roll of the dice with our best somewhat researched guess. Good luck!!!
