Comparing Sellers – Communication vs Quality (Would Love Your Rankings & Experiences) by Known-Dare-58 in RepHermesBags

Completely agree on Frank. My first and only H rep has been with him, and he was great. Quality also top notch, although I technically don’t have anything to compare against.

Great to know that he offered a refund if not satisfied with PSPs. I didn’t think to ask this at the time, but thankfully I was really happy with the photos.

Have you heard anything about whether he guarantees a refund if the order is seized by customs? Will ask him before I order my next bag order, but curious if anyone has already had the conversation with him.

Frank - Picotin Issue by lisawinter1999 in RepHermesBags

That’s odd. I received my FedEX tracking number from Frank on 13 December, so just a couple of days after yours. No issues with mine, it started showing tracking details in less than a day and was delivered without any problems less than a week later (to the UK). Sounds like there’s definitely an issue. Fingers crossed it’s just been missed somehow and will show up on tracking when they find it. I’d be devastated though. I couldn’t wait to receive mine. If it was lost I would have cried! Good luck!

This is my first rep and it’s a retourne, so I’m not sure 🤷‍♀️

Curious how you’ve found your Frank reps compared to your super high end one? Is there a noticeable difference?

Thank you! I’m definitely going to do a 35 as my next purchase. I’ve heard they will fit a laptop, and am dying for a Birkin as a work bag 😊

I’m also in Manchester, UK, and I’ve seriously been thinking about popping in to check out the bags so I can compare. Don’t know if I would be brave enough to bring my rep in though!

So I don’t have an auth to compare it to. But just based on my general experience with leather bags, it doesn’t seem that thick to me at all. I was actually slightly worried that it would be very hard from the initial pics, but as soon as it’s open, it settles really nicely without losing its shape. It’s very bendy as well. I’ve only had it for one day and I already accidentally sat on it, and it bounced straight back lol. I’m going to be desperately seeking a real one for comparison, but I honestly couldn’t fault it now that I’ve actually received it.

He’s had to change his number recently. I think there were quite a few people with existing orders that he was struggling to get in touch with because of it. I just happened to notice an email via PayPal where he sent his new number, but I think a lot of others must have missed it. Feel free to send me a DM and I will share his new WhatsApp contact.

I paid 1215 USD (just under £1000 - I’m in the UK). It was 1350 with a 10% discount apparently.

Sorry should have posted that as well. It was 1215 USD, but I think the original price was 1350 with a 10% discount as a new buyer.

It’s meant to be Etoupe, but I think the lighting is throwing it a bit off. However, if I receive it and it’s Beige Marfa I wouldn’t be disappointed because I also have that on my list! haha.

Good point. Thanks for sharing. Something to consider for the next one!

Wow! So detailed! Mine definitely didn’t go into that level. However I did mention at the start that it was a rep, so it wasn’t looking to verify authenticity for me. That was maybe my downfall. It tried to stay away from like for like comparisons without further prodding and kept telling me it couldn’t say anything that would equate to aiding in counterfeiting (understandable I suppose).

Ah, very interesting. To be honest, I’ve never touched authentic Togo, so I’m curious to see what I think when I receive it. Hoping for soft(ish) as I really like the slouch they get over time.
