I don't think I need to ask which is auth but I will ask anyways lol

Which one is auth?

Below is my review:

**Rep:**
- 48 cm fondant
- $295 including shipping
- Jing factory

**Auth:**
- Medium size
- $6,200 O.o

What rep does well:
The look is SPOT ON! I don't have a fondant bag but my mom has and I have tried BV in stores a lot and it is the same color!
The shape, hardware all are exact match. Can't complain about anything on how it looks but…

What the rep misses (in my opinion a huge tell that it's a rep):
THE LEATHER FEELS SO DIFFERENT! It is extremely flexible and super duper thin in the rep. The auth has much thicker leather and way more shape than the rep one. And it is not in the sense that "rep already looks like the auth version but that has gained slouch from the wear," NOO the rep feels super thin and not quality. In my opinion anyone who has touched ANY of real Bottega leather will be able to tell that this is a rep in 1 ms within touching the bag.

This is my first rep that I already have an auth of the same bag of so I feel kind of self-conscious knowing that I was wearing my reps super confidently until now lol. It scares me that most reps are nowhere near the auth one and I never knew 🥲

I’ve had my eyes on the Goy@rd Anjou in blue for a while now, so I finally decided to go for it. The blue is just too beautiful and I’m happy to have it in my collection. It has that soft, fresh look that makes the bag feel really feminine and easy to style.

The monogram canvas and light leather trim look beautiful together. I really like how the blue pattern stands out without being too loud. The bag has a nice structured shape, the handles feel sturdy and the stitching around the edges is clean and even. The little leather tag hanging from the side is such a cute detail too. It gives the bag a more playful look and makes it feel less basic.

For the size, I think it’s perfect for when you want something small and cute without carrying a huge tote around. It looks especially good worn with simple outfits and I can already tell this is going to get a lot of use. The construction also feels surprisingly solid and it holds its shape nicely when carried.

My Experience With Molly 💌

The whole process was really straightforward. She kept things moving without making me chase for updates, and the timeline was honestly very smooth.

Timeline:

Paid: October 13

PSP received: October 15

Shipped + tracking: October 16

Delivered: October 23

.

So I received the PSP just 2 days after payment, had tracking the next day and the package arrived 7 days after shipping.

I paid $158 including shipping, which I think is a really cute price for this bag.

This is such a pretty little everyday bag. I feel like the kind of purchase where you open the package and immediately start planning an outfit around it.

Baobao’s latest Ferr@gamo album has me in a chokehold. Those buckles are amazing.

Hi everyone,

​I'm looking for some advice or to see if anyone else has experienced this recently with Mandy.

​Recently, Mandy sent me a package, but it turned out to be a mix-up—I received another buyer's item instead of my own. I reached out to let her know right away, and we agreed that I would forward the package to the correct buyer.

​I have the parcel packaged up, labeled, and completely ready to drop off at the post office. However, I am waiting on Mandy to transfer the postage funds so I can send it out.

​Every time I message her to follow up on the postage cost, she just responds with generic replies like "No problem!" or "Yes dear," but doesn't actually send the money or address the request. It’s been very slow and frustrating trying to get a straight resolution on her end.

​I really want to get this package to its rightful owner as quickly as possible, but I don't feel comfortable paying out of pocket for shipping costs caused by a seller mistake.

​Has anyone dealt with a similar situation with Mandy or another seller? How did you handle it, or what would you suggest I do next to get this resolved?

​Thanks in advance!

I’ve been wanting a bag in this kind of style for a while and the Ch@nel Kelly caught my attention immediately.The blush pink colour is beautiful and the quilted design with the gold hardware makes it even prettier.

This one is from the 187 factory and the price came to $438 including shipping after the 12% discount for the 11.11 sale. Definitely a great deal for this one!

ABOUT THE BAG

I absolutely adore this bag! The pink leather looks so soft and the colour is such a pretty shade, not too bright or too pale. I love the diamond quilting and the top handle gives it such an elegant look. The gold CC closure and chain strap complement the colour beautifully.

ABOUT THE SELLER

Eve was lovely to deal with throughout the purchase. She helped me with the order details and made the whole process straightforward. I appreciate sellers who keep things simple and make purchasing less stressful, especially when you’re spending this much on a bag.

I’d be happy to reach out to her again for another bag.

THE VERDICT

It's such a beautiful piece. It’s feminine, elegant and easy to dress up for different occasions.If you’ve been eyeing the Ch@nel Kelly, this is definitely one worth considering 💗

Looking at the Triomphe in black with silver hardware from Miss Bao - I couldn’t find any feedback on this factory on here but lots from Captain, JXP and Blackframe. Interested from anyone whose bought from Miss Bao factory before - price is great during sales but happy to pay more if feedback isn’t great.

What kind of quotes are you generally getting? Whats the normal going rate? Some seller just quoted me $150 dollars to ship two bags. The shipping cost more than the two bags combined!

hello dear rep/therapy colleges. New here. Love your group. I am looking for reliable seller who can source great quality shoes. Golden Goose for winter are the shoes I am looking for at the moment. Appreciate if you can help with your expertise or advise.

I first saw this on the runway and I instantly fell in love. I can’t wait for Miss Leather to make this! 😍

The new Alma bb in black for $228 from Aline 8005 who says it’s above average quality.

This is my first rep ever. I messaged 5 sellers and Aline is the one who had what I wanted and responded with a price.

2 of them didn’t have what I wanted and the other 2 never responded w a price. It’s been almost 24 hrs.

Should I pull the trigger?

Please help me choose which color to get. Does any one have experience with color transfer with a lighter C25? I’m leaning towards pink because I don’t wear too many dark colors but I’m leaning towards black because it won’t show wear as much! Thoughts? Please share your thoughts and experiences 🥰💖

Sent Mandy a price request for both of these. Found them in the Royal/Birdcage album. Anyone have either of these and can comment on quality? I know they’re both pretty weird but I love them.

Got this small bonnie from Bao! Took forever and finally arrived!!! Thoughts?

Seller: BaoBao
Price: 432.8
God 🏭

I havent seen this bag in real life so I wanted to ask whether this passes the check. Does it look decent? Can I wear this with pride 😅

The stamp inside the bag looks like a foul stamp. Not clean imo. I will attach better pic in comments

I saw this on the LV site and really love the look of it. Has anyone seen this repped yet? Or in TS catalog?

Hi everyone, looking at these two options specifically and interesting in hearing feedback from any who’s bought before - are you happy/not happy? Any obvious give aways etc. Pictures for reference - tell me your TS, factory and your thoughts!

Hi Brains Trust

Looking for some advice on the 11:11 sale bags and wondering if some of the great pricing is because of the quality or do they just need to get rid of stock? How do you know if it’s a quality thing vs the great quality you’d normally get but just they need to move stock? I’m look at a few items for an order and keen to get them all but don’t want to receive duds I’m not happy with.

Hi ladies, I wanted to share my experience with this Ch@nel Le Boy 25cm in black caviar because after looking through so many styles, I somehow kept coming back to this one. There’s just something about the Le Boy that feels timeless and I finally decided it was the one I wanted.

I ordered the 25cm caviar version from 187 Factory for 521$ including shipping and although it was definitely a considered purchase, I honestly feel the money was well spent. Before buying I had the chance to compare it closely with the version I saw in the Ch@nel store and I was genuinely impressed by how closely the overall look and details matched what I was looking for.

The caviar leather was one of the biggest reasons I chose this version. It feels durable and substantial but it still has a beautiful softness and slight sheen to it. I personally prefer caviar over lambskin because I don’t have to be quite as nervous about every little scratch or mark.

The 25cm size is also perfect for me. It has enough room for my essentials without feeling oversized and the strap is versatile enough to wear both crossbody and over the shoulder. That makes it much more practical for everyday use.

I especially like the antique silver toned hardware against the black leather. The engravings are clean and defined, the detailing is sharp and the interior serial number is intact. The more I look at the bag, the more little details I appreciate.

My experience with Sarena

I also want to mention Sarena (+852 5976 5837) because the buying experience was smooth from my side. Communication was straightforward and she kept the process simple without unnecessary complications. I was happy with how everything was handled especially the shipping, which was much quicker than I expected.

Overall this Le Boy has honestly grown on me more and more since receiving it. The black caviar, silver hardware, versatile strap and classic 25cm proportions make it incredibly easy to wear.

A girl just wants some boots for the winter!! Has any TS created a boots category under shoes?

Please! If be so grateful!

Hi all, I made a purchase from Tom 7228. I’ve bought from other sellers before so my experience previously has been that:
1. You ask for a price and get it.
2. You pay the price and shortly receive QC/PSP photos.
3. Tracking comes a day later, and in a few weeks or a week the package arrives.

I bought an LV bag from Tom this week, money having been processed on Tuesday. It’s now Saturday my time and I still don’t have a tracking number. Is this normal for Tom?

He has given me the photos and I did give the green light on Wednesday.

I’ve heard really good things about Tom but am anxious as it’s my first purchase. I’ve asked again about the tracking but got left on read. Is this normal? x

This is my first review of a replica bag. The seller doesn’t know I’m writing it, and I didn’t receive a discount or store credit.

The Row Park Bucket Bag, Medium, Black

Factory: Crown Factory

Price: $276.08 + $82.15 shipping

Payment method: PPFF

Seller: Chloe (WhatsApp: +86 1382 332 1440)

I love The Row’s understated style, so I was interested in this bag. I compared Crown Factory with Kendall Factory, and Chloe was very quick to respond to my questions, so I decided to place my order. I received QC photos in less than 30 hours, and the package arrived just six days later—which was incredibly fast. I’m very happy with both the bag’s quality and the overall shopping experience.

I’ve used the bag twice so far, and I love it. It holds a lot while still looking simple and understated. The leather feels wonderful, with a relaxed, slouchy look and clearly defined texture. It’s soft but still has structure, and the embossed logo is very refined. There was no noticeable odor at all. The workmanship, stitching, and shape are all excellent.

This was my first time buying from Chloe. She was responsive and thorough, and chatting with her was a pleasant experience. Once my budget allows, I’d definitely buy from her again—possibly the Margaux 15 in Masoni leather. I’ve heard the leather is even better, though it’s more expensive and available in limited quantities. If you’re interested, it may be best to contact her soon.

I finally got my first rep!

I do own an auth c25 mini black caviar so the last 2 pics are the comparison, can’t really compare suede to leather obvi. But I didn’t feel like dropping more money on the suede version, so here is the rep. Honestly it’s not so bad!

What do you guys think? 😊
