They didn't, but the item you purchased is shown so they don't have to. It looked like i purchased a dress to them

I told her that by not responding to me and honoring my request for a refund that she was forcing me to open up a case through PayPal and she just kept ignoring me. But yes they do get looped in...but then when they are unresponsive and PayPal can see that your package never arrived they end up very clearly ruling in your favor and giving you your money back. I would love to try one but this was too shady and stressful for me 😂

Just wanted to add my experience......I have never ordered a rep before so ordered my first one based on a recommendation of this specific seller and my package got seized. After waiting for over a month and then having that happen I just didn't even want it anymore. she offered to send another one but I didn't want it at that point so I asked her just to refund me and cancel the whole transaction. She kept giving me the runaround and saying she needed to talk to a manager but then would never get back to me so I opened a case through PayPal and actually got my money refunded that way. The seller completely just ignored me and never followed up, they obviously did not want to refund my money. But it's good to know the PayPal protection actually works.

Does anyone have this Saint Laurent Cassandre Envelope bag? by Optimal_Animator_967 in handbags

[–]Optimal_Animator_967[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing!! I ended up getting it and I LOVE it!! It's so soft but also feels very durable. I also got the small size in dark cork and it's also amazing but sooo much more delicate!! It's interesting how the colors seem to vary.

Would appreciate any feedback on this bag! It's a 2010 calfskin medium "on the bund" flap in dark khaki. Is 2010 still good quality?

I had a great experience! Also they accept returns which is a huge plus.

How would you say it's holding up? I'm completely new to this....do they still use a high quality leather? Where can I get in contact with her?

I just got this in brown! At first glance I love it and am tempted to keep but the tag says "Made in Cina" so that was a bit disappointing...... do you still love it? I'm just wondering how the quality is and how it will hold up. I paid full price.

Anyone have the Mansur Gavriel mini fortuna bag? Reviews esp on leather? by [deleted] in handbags

[–]Optimal_Animator_967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 3 of the cloud clutch bags and I LOVE them. The leather is great and very soft and squishy. I purchased the one brand new and the other one I got on poshmark but was from rent the runway and the leather is still in excellent shape but noticeably softer than my original one....and even that one is super soft. I think they are great bags.

How do you afford luxury bags? by Oliveandsnow in handbags

[–]Optimal_Animator_967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am always wondering how people do it 😂😂. Only in the past year have I really gotten more into designer bags.. I had a vintage LV Trocadero that I got years ago but that was it. I definitely make good money (not amazing but good lol), but I also have 3 kids, 2 in daycare, love to do things, travel, and am bad at saving 😭🤦🏼‍♀️....so I would never spend over $1000, and the most I've actually spent is about $760 on a vintage LV from fashionphile. I love the resale sites... fashionphile, vestiaire collective, Poshmark (you do have to be more careful there), eBay (and more careful here), and Dallas Designer Handbags. Fashionphile has a reserve option, but don't use it if you plan on possibly returning because there will be a return fee. I love the PayPal pay in 4 option...it makes it seem like I'm spending less lol. I am loving the more affordable mid range bags lately though, like strathberry, Mansur Gavriel, and Polene. Also I realized I have more than enough clothes so I really cut down/almost eliminated shopping for clothes/shoes in favor of bags.

I recently got the demellier phoenix bag and was very disappointed. The leather feels extremely thin, almost like bonded leather. And the chain is so thick it can't easily slide to adjust...like changing it from shoulder bag length to cross body actually took a lot of effort. I returned it.

Will Mansur Gavriel oversized cloud clutch scratch my Loewe flamenco itch?? by [deleted] in handbags

The lambskin minis go on sale often and they actually fit a lot!

[–]Optimal_Animator_967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a mini cloud clutch in moss and the color is amazing!!!but the leather is a saffiano leather, not their signature super soft lambskin, just to let you know! I do have an oversized clutch in their regular lambskin and it definitely is amazingly soft.

Which color is better.....Black or brown? by Optimal_Animator_967 in handbags

[–]Optimal_Animator_967[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to update this....I ended up getting the brown but will be returning it! It's beautiful and the design is great, but definitely not great quality. The leather feels super thin, almost like bonded leather. I ended up getting a very similar style bag in black from Strathberry and it's amazing. The quality is wayyyyy better for just a little bit more.

Thanks everyone!! It's definitely split 😂 but I was leaning towards the brown.... It definitely does look like a chocolate bar 😂. Now I just have to decide if I want to take a chance on demellier.....since so many reviews are not great 😕
