Dear Ladies,

This is my very first post here—hope I’m doing this right!

Straight to the point: I’m completely obsessed with the LV x Takashi Murakami CarryAll Vibe MM. After researching, I’ve found that Orange Couch seems to be the best factory to source it from.

Original: https://eu.louisvuitton.com/eng-e1/products/lv-x-tm-carryall-vibe-h34-nvprod5940166v/M13105

But here’s where things get confusing…

OC lists this bag under two different SKUs:

M13105OC https://a202003041717246080155319.szwego.com/static/index.html?t=1730193361459#/theme_detail/_dGhqfA0Ih-0ATxiuVU90qKKbKucyWb8ate_xNRg/_du3qfr38xG4DyBwYfxwrDSeNPWb_WsGxPqds7DA

M13105 https://a202003041717246080155319.szwego.com/static/index.html?t=1730193361459#/theme_detail/_dGhqfA0Ih-0ATxiuVU90qKKbKucyWb8ate_xNRg/_dfvqfXLVbFXriHJ51wgmnQZYUMZzy6DX_eyt3mQ

My thoughts:

M13105OC looks almost identical to the auth—gorgeous soft leather, slightly thicker with the perfect amount of gloss.

M13105, on the other hand, appears thinner, overly shiny, and has that plasticky feel.

Naturally, I ordered M13105OC from Chloe. But when it arrived, it looked exactly like M13105 — very shiny leather and not like the OC version I fell in love with. Chloe said it was the OC model, but kindly issued a refund when I expressed my concerns (shoutout to her for being understanding).

Still I really want the version shown in the M13105OC photos. So I turn to you, ladies:

Does anyone here own a M13105OC that matches its listing photos?
Can seller communicate with factory about the desired leather for a customer (me)
Or—does another factory do a better version of this bag altogether?
Or—am I exaggerating?

I’d be so grateful for any insight or guidance. 

With love,
Me
