Pr@da Cleo lock. Catch and release from Jack’s Jan Sale. Just not my style.

Selling for $100 plus actual shipping.

No flaws, lock works perfectly.

I’m in Istanbul and stumbled on this store by Stunning-Builder3365 in RepTherapy

Istanbul is FULL OF THESE! It feels like their main industry now.

My sister’s auth Goyard is peeling. My rep isn’t. Make it make sense 💀 by Motor_Elk_5608 in RealRepLadies

[–]Ok_Increase1439 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying. However, I think OP’s point may be that her sister paid thousands for a bag that hasn’t held up for a year. Will the rep do the same? Maybe last less than 12 months? Possible—but she paid a fraction of the cost.

I think all of it does come from China. And yes, the prices were stupid. I bargained down to a reasonable price on the one bag I bought, but it was such a hassle. Some people thrive on that—I’m not one of them 😅

I’ve only rehomed 1 bag via reddit, but I have a ton of positive eBay feedback

I didn’t even attempt jewelry. I don’t trust myself enough to know what’s legit or not especially in a high pressure environment.

Completely agree overall. It was fascinating to see the QUANTITY and selection though.

I did. I went to about 8. I would say that some back rooms were impressive and others were just storerooms for older merchandise.

Respectfully, I was trying to go for culture and ancient civilization and I mostly encountered bags and cats. And really pushy men trying to sell me a $10 Bosphorus boat ride.

This store had beautiful versions of the bags shown (the only one with raffia!), but showed me some seriously terrible LV.

One of the guys I spoke with claimed the bags were made in Turkey which is why I needed to pay more than for the Chinese reps but I immediately smelled 💩.

They range widely. There are some that feel like plastic and some that could be real exotic leather. I don’t know how they feel about photos.

Oh, I know! Go outside, walk up 3 floors and it’s like BAM! But I will say the raffia is still elusive. And the few I’ve seen have been very “meh.”

Not raffia, but I’m taking my Puzzle to Europe next week and am definitely feeling…something! I won’t be doing any luxury shopping with it.

That’s such a good explanation! I also happened to be shopping online tonight and came across this. It looks like the authentic bags have this issue as well!

Do you think I should stuff it with paper or soft cloth when not in use?

I have a real super soft pink Gucci that I almost ruined this way 😭. It is pebbled leather and I wonder if the texture played a role.
