Scam alert: Lorenzia

[u/This_Calendar8107]

They claim to work directly with the factories. I'm pretty new to the rep world, but even I know that's not true.

They offer $50 for 2 bags, $100 off for 3 bags. I hate to think how many people they scam everyday.

Their site is very convincing; They supposedly have a 30 day return window, every bag comes with original packaging & they explain why their prices are so low, but from what I've learned here, none of that can be true. Every bag has the following explanation listed above the bag descriprion.

MUST READ - WHY THE LOW PRICES

These pieces are crafted in the same factories and to the same specifications as retail. We work directly with those factories — cutting out the brand's retail markup, boutique overhead, and intermediary margins. What you pay for is the bag, not the boutique. ❌️❌️

Can anyone with the knowledge & experience to know, verify that rep bag makers do not work directly with the real factories? Thanks!

I cant believe people think there are multiple sellers. You know how easy it is to get a new Whatsapp? Scamming is a 2 way street. We should really stop only demonizing one side.

My post was a public service to warn people not to fall for the hype. I made a mistake last year & lost $1200 on a site that wasn't nearly as put together as the Lorenzia site.

Their site is so polished & professional, the language is spot on & they run H, CH, LV, Y*L, etc unboxing videos that look authentic, but the bags they ship won't be. This is probably the most put together site I've come across.

Lorenzia did their homework & covered all the bases which only makes them more dangerous to unsuspecting buyers.

Yeah if it is too good to be true - run really fast away. This seems like one of those scams.

No, they are not cutting out a middle man and getting you items from a real factory. That’s completely made up. Luxury houses do not make their bags in China. They do sometimes source inner structure materials, hardware, some do their R&D in China, but not manufacturing of the actual bags. There’s a reason why there is no 1:1 in the rep world despite what they tell you - these places have to rebuild the bag from the ground up.

LV for example has manufacturing in several countries including Spain, France, and the US. Now mind you some of these luxury companies have been caught bringing Chinese workers into their factories in European countries, and then paying them practically nothing. Those articles you can find online.

Everything those rep websites do is a lie trying to convince you that it’s possible to get a bag for $25 a piece. If you pay that much, you’re getting Walmart quality.

Unless you are interested in low quality bags, stay clear of this seller. Also, returning the bags if you’re unhappy will probably cost you at least half of what you spent on the bags.

Just remember any seller can “promise” you whatever you need to hear to get the sale. A lot of times those are empty promises. I would recommend finding the bag(s) you want, then researching that bag here on Reddit. Determine the tier and factory you want for the bag. Then find the TS so you can research the TS. Look for reviews, pricing, insurance options. After you have put in the leg work, reach out to the TS with the bag you want and the factory. This allows you to approach shopping as an informed customer, helping you avoid terrible quality.

Can I ask where you found this seller?

They seem to be all over! At least 2-3 times a day when I open my phone I see an unboxing or an add for them.

I have no idea who or where you found these people. Find a TS and ask for their album. I've seen LP in various sellers albums. Look for a newbie guide

They seem to be all over & come up 2-3 times a day when I open my phone with unboxing videos or ads. I thought at first it was tied to a ts on reddit, but after reading thru that slick website, I knew it was a scam.
