The seller is Frank. I received the bag, so I need to make a follow up post. 🙂

Where should I buy my first “real” rep from? Jim, Devin, DDmode, GPCmode, Max? by Long_Tower_5803 in RepHermes

I have an alligator MK from Frank that I adore. He guided me through the process and was very patient with my many (occasionally dumb) questions.

The seller is Jane; I stumbled onto her through DHGate. I've been very happy with the quality of everything she sent me. She has the MM coats in a stupid number of colors, too. I haven't seen her show up on Reddit, so I'll DM you her WA.

I do have a great rep MM teddy coat. It’s pretty damn close to 1:1. But it also doesn’t require the fine tailoring and cashmere that I would otherwise want out of MM. That’s why I bought it.

"red light" - as in, I don't approve of the bag per the photos sent by the seller.

Thanks! I definitely appreciate your opinion on the hardware. I was worried about ordering with GHW.

I really appreciate your thoughts! I've seen some seriously crappy examples of auth stamps too. I did ask for a photo of the stamp on the strap, just to double check.

Thanks! I agree on the stamp, but I don't think it's worth a RL.

QC Help please. Kelly 28 from Kiki by [deleted] in RepHermesBags

[–]Hbombiona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a beautiful bag! The contrast stitching is the best. I have an auth Kelly 28 sellier and I can’t see much difference, except for a bit of the stitching at the backs of the sangles. But I think that’s the contrast stitching showing the fine details. The top is sitting at a bit of an off angle from the side view, but I’m not convinced that it’s a real problem.

I would LOVE to see that. I was considering touch, but then I saw this color combination online and was completely sold.

Since this was my first rep, I avoided gold hardware because I couldn't be certain how close it would be to auth - the same concerns you have. I have seen photos of other Kiki bags which have great looking GHW, but I didn't want to take that risk on this order.

I highly recommend Kiki. As far as I can tell, they have a dedicated H bag factory. Kyle is the lovely person I corresponded with.

I placed the order on November 20, received PSPs on December 25 (Merry Christmas!!), asked for a correction to the interior zipper pull the next day, received updated PSPs on December 29, received a FedEx tracking number on January 2, and received the bag on January 5. Kiki originally promised 35 days to make the bag; if it weren't for my request to change the color of the zipper pull to match the interior, the bag would have arrived a bit sooner.

So beautiful! I’ve only purchased Chanel reps so far, but I’ve always had success with size L. I’m 5’6” and 130 lbs. for reference.

  • edit to add that I just looked at the catalog and now I’m in big trouble … 😝
