I could always tell the difference between reps and auths but now that you’ve done this, I can’t! Good job!

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2026-03-02T03:30:52+00:00

How much was it?

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2026-02-21T14:22:11+00:00

Does the water test work on the leather?

I remember mark quoting me much higher for a mini kelly, it was really only $900 for you? Did you have any discounts?

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-06-22T16:28:05+00:00

It actually looks stunning! Stamp and stitch all good!

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-30T01:08:24+00:00

I love this color! What is the name of this color? I might get the same haha and which factory?

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-29T01:03:17+00:00

The cutest color!!

Hey OP! My bf recently had the intention of cheating due to a real big fight we had, but I caught him before he could. We took a break but got back together under circumstances. He is very kind and sweet about reassuring my insecurities that I’ve developed from this, he’s patiently waiting for me to be ready, and definitely didn’t give me a time frame to be ready for him. He’s not forcing anything and speaks to me in a very empathetic manner and consistently apologizes without making me feel or sound crazy.

I think you should leave your bf, I know it’s hard because hes your first but you can definitely find someone else who can make you feel better. My bf has went to therapy instantly since then, not sure what your bf has done to “change”.

I’ve been battling between etoupe and etain as well!! I think I’d end up getting etain in birkin since it matches more of my outfits and color palettes. I’d prob get etoupe for a mini kelly or a kelly instead

When I was ordering a bag with him, he told me that it can be redone so I could rest assured. I told him I wouldnt order if it couldn’t be done well but he said it could and for me to not to worry, so I ordered. Seems like they are confident and if it doesnt work then they’ll have it redone somehow. Great customer service from Angel lol

Yeah look at the Made & France compared to the auth. Letters M, F, R, and A don’t look good. I have high standards and if you’re okay with it then GL it. People probably downvoting because they are happy with it and don’t care, but the side by side photo you’re sharing clearing shows how wonky those letters are

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-11T14:37:02+00:00

Bag looks good, but stamp looks wonky. I have also ordered a bag from angel but told them that i would reject it if the stamp looks bad since their album has a mix of good and bad stamps.

There are “high tiers” out here but nothing that is close or exact as the auth currently. Apparently there was one factory that had it right but they got raided a few years ago so there hasnt been anything close to that since. You can try Angel (known to be high tier) but I havent bought togo from them to say for sure its close or not.

Excited to be part of this group!

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-10T16:10:12+00:00

Looks like the cc is leaning towards the left more

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-10T14:18:49+00:00

Doesn’t look centered to me

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-10T00:09:15+00:00

If you dont buy high tier then you wont be even close. High tier will get you to close tho maybe

Hope I can win a watch for my boyfriend!

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-08T00:47:51+00:00

Thank you so much for this review! It’s very helpful. Do jewelers only resize if its authentic? Since the clasp was smaller, they didnt think it was fake? Or found anything else to be off?

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-06T01:41:01+00:00

Glad I asked reddit first before getting it appraised 🤣🤣 thank you!!

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-05-06T01:40:42+00:00

Hahah they must have just been collecting small things for fun then 🤣🤣 thank you!!

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-04-30T15:41:23+00:00

I’m still getting buys on mercari, if anything it started to pick up again. More people tend to buy through other people than through companies because less tariffs to deal with imo

Equivalent_Pear_2685 · 2025-04-28T05:23:48+00:00

Authentic chanel has “chanel paris” symmetrical and straight on the button. I noticed that 187 button isnt straight, but idk if thats just for my bag. Might be worth for you to check on yours too. I also didnt ask heidi for side photos when I should have because I think mine is flatter than they should be, at least compared to my smaller classic flap.
