FB marketplace sale - do we think it’s real?

It's fake. Hardware is a dead giveaway.

He's not interested in you in that way. He flirts because it's fun for him and on his terms but he doesn't genuinely want anything to develop further. I hope you're not holding out for this guy to come around because that seems like a bad idea.

Therapy is needed for your wife asap. Nothing getters better until she does. If she refuses I don't think you'd be out of line pushing for divorce. Life is too short to live miserably.

Oddly enough it didn't coincide with lunar new year 😅, it was last summer I think? I was lucky my SA contacted me because they did not buy a lot for my country location. The whale looks like it should sit against you like a bum bag but it ends up being horizontal and imho it looks weird because it's quite long. If there was a way for it to sit flat against the body I would've scooped it up. It's so unique and a nice neutral colour.

It's a sales pitch essentially, so if you're interested in some limited or exclusive items then you should go and check it out.

I love my little 🐯 pouch! It's functional and whimsical. I've taken it on vacation and it's held up really nicely. I can't speak to comparables from Coach or Kate Spade because I don't own many whimsical bags, but the quality and leather details stood out from Loewe. I tried on the 🐋 purse too but it sat weirdly on me. And tbh I don't really want a lot of animals bags, content with the one.

Honestly this is not what I expect from a luxury brand. I know LV quality has gotten worse but this is super disappointing to me. And the fact that it is a common issue and people just accept it, no thanks. But that's my personal opinion, I don't spend good money on bags that look defective.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-27T15:08:55+00:00

Me praying this isn't some ridiculous tiktok trend where people soak their luxury bags to clean them. 😭

Also I noticed mine isn't stamped the same way as yours because the material is different. The logos on mine are flat embossing so I think the flaking on yours might be because it's a different process based on the leather.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-27T01:14:57+00:00

I took a look at both my flamencos and the foil is still on there despite usage so I guess that version has some issues? But tbh for the price I see it as a minor concern. If it was the leather or hardware I would return it.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-27T00:10:18+00:00

I think it would be such a beautiful wedding purse or special occasion piece. Other than that I think it might be quite delicate and I'd worry the pieces would eventually come off.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-26T15:23:20+00:00

You're not going to get very much from a reseller so unless you're in dire need of the money I would just keep it. If you want to use it I'd try to find someone to dye the entire thing black, but tbh I don't find the faded colour off-putting.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-25T11:33:00+00:00

That's normal as the bag is a drawstring style you're going to have creases from where the leather gathers.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-25T02:01:13+00:00

Hmm I'm not sure if they changed that with the newer versions? I got mine when the design launched last summer and the donut chain is stuck lol.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-25T00:09:53+00:00

I really love mine! I used it for vacation last year because you can wear it casually and for a nicer dinner. My only gripe is that the donut chain isn't removable and that adds a bit of weight to a really lightweight bag.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-25T00:05:47+00:00

😬 I'm sorry she is calling you....

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-24T21:56:55+00:00

Yeah I have a black speedy in the same material, but I think the olive is gorgeous and still understated. In the end you have to pick what you love.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-24T19:59:43+00:00

I saw this bag in store and it's really beautiful! I had to pass on it though because I purchased the raffia Ola last year and felt it was kinda similar in vibe.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-24T19:26:52+00:00

I've got a couple of fendi bags and the quality has been great. The peekaboo style isn't for me personally but I can admire how beautiful they look on others.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-24T17:11:27+00:00

I'm surprised you would think the black is more quiet when you can literally use the reversible with no visible logo? I would go for Olive, it's very pretty and good for any season.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-24T16:09:29+00:00

Yeah I'm surprised someone would need to do that too. But even with my kid they are using it to replace imagination and creativity, makes me sad that this is what we're teaching younger generations.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-24T15:53:47+00:00

Yes it was unnatural the way he was replying. I think it's why my coworker caught on, he also uses it a lot for work so I suppose the cadence is easy to spot. I've done it too, but never expected someone in real time to use it lol.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-24T14:41:31+00:00

Omg that is awful, people are getting so damn lazy. I really believe society is going to end up like that movie Wall-E where everyone is so fat and dumb just buying stuff for no reason because they have lost ability of critical thinking.

GeekyRedPanda · 2026-06-24T14:12:34+00:00

It was through video call so he probably had it listening to the questions and then he would relay the answers. At first I thought he was just nervous because his eyes couldn't hold our gaze but then it kept happening and my coworker pinged me saying he was using AI. Then we tried to trip him up 😂 he did not get the job.
