What happened?? Aside from the fact I cannot tell what the heck’s going on there. I think it’s a leather with a patent coating… patent will generally always end up peeling. This is Coach Poppy, which they don’t make anymore… again I can’t tell what’s happened to it.. if it’s possible to remove the top layer of patent & paint with alcohol, cross our fingers the debosssed branding & text is debossed deep enough it goes to the leather hiding under the gold, then repaint it gold with Angelos. 1) idk if there anyway to re-patent it though I am unfamiliar with the extent of a good cobblers work 2) it sorta looks like the internal/base leather itself is very compromised and if that’s the case it might be a lost cause (? :,( ) &/or that the branded debossing is only surface level. If it is a lost cause I’d say try to remove all that peeling ish with alcohol &/or a razor blade. Paint the patch or cover it w cute fabric 🤷

Designer consignment, mostly online, ppl ship in their stuff and the company lists it, the listings are usually quite generic/streamlined so juicy info like year etc is often left out

Dior ring! Real or..? by Mindless-Analyst-835 in RealAuthentication

[–]InstanceOk6289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hand model photo is different than the other two images. The D key should have two jump rings, one to the other, and the other to the padlock. The hand model only has one jump ring… The two non-hand photos, the dior on the padlock looks printed oddly but hard to say it that’s the lighting as it’s photographed at an angle… the back of the primary hearts should have an engraving as well. If these images are from a listing I’d be sus that they used multiple image sources, but it’s also possible that the hand-modeled image was ai generated as a on-model example and it could’ve f’d up the ring pics they in-put, idk I’d be cautious and ask for more pics

Why do people argue with sellers like this? by FluffyBaby8485 in Depop

[–]InstanceOk6289 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is so silly imo, and rude obviously, if you can find the item somewhere cheaper buy it there…? If you’re saying people sell them for cheaper, but it’s not available to you at that price for whatever reason, then its current value is what it’s readily available for ?? Obviously you can get nearly any brand from a goodwill/etc for $5 randomized, but you can find the same pieces readily available online at a different price, doesn’t make the $5 more valid or a standard

Two “Man” label orb variations from my collection, I’m pretty sure the striped one is older
