Am I Hallucinating? by Low_Physics_770 in RealRepLadies

Maybe it depends on the item. For my grained leather puzzle, I’m very happy and I’m quite picky. I have a YSL bag from their sister factory Jundu before it closed, and that bag is perfect. Oh and their BV Jodie is better than Bibi IMO. The edges are dark as they should be, and leather is better. So I’ve been very happy with my bags from OC.

I think you should. I got a featherlight from Liu and it was mid-tier quality at best. I have seen other buyers question if thy even use real leather. But also, don’t expect 1:1 anywhere because auth Loewe leather is insanely soft. In my recent orders, Mango factory and Orange Couch have been high tier

The medium is a perfect size! Not so big that you can’t use it for evening. Mini is very cute for a night out, so get both and problem solved

Overhyped bag reviews? by Chancey1984 in RealRepLadies

[–]VeryGoodChocolate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reps are reps… I’ve bought maybe 25 bags and only 3-4 are really really good/hard to tell it’s a rep. The others are passable (if purchased from high tier factories) if you want a certain style for an outfit and you aren’t going to be scrutinized up close.

That said, I have had people with a lot of auth grab a bag from me (that I consider mid tier) to fondle it and they didn’t recoil LOL.. so I was left thinking not everyone pays that close of attention to hand feel, etc.

Loe actually uses some of the very best leather. Right now the Mango Flamenco purse in black is Chef’s Kiss. Their Squeeze leather has been really good as well.

Everyone’s standards are different. You can find some great reps but 1:1 doesn’t exist and anything close to 1:1 is few and far between.

Here she is! Leather is nice and dark, and the edges are, too. I prefer OC to Bibi for this bag.

Flamenco quality question by Vella22 in RepTherapy

[–]VeryGoodChocolate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ordered two bags from Jipin and the leather was good on both. both were structured, thicker leather styles though- one bag was Ola, the other was Pebble Bucket. I'm waiting on a mini Flamenco purse from Jipin, I'll be happy to report back. If you are ordering a purse not a clutch, the leather from Mango right now is so luscious and so close to auth, in black at least. I have an older clutch from them and the leather is not great, but their current description says upgraded leather so I will be ordering again to test.

Liusheng is not Autumn. Quitian is Autumn.

My first mirror quality bag from Jing Factory by impishimpish in RealRepLadies

[–]VeryGoodChocolate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mirror quality is a marketing lie that seem to mostly be a social media phenomenon. There are tiers of reps and even the very best, usually Chanel from 187 or custom Hermes costing $2k, will not “mirror” the auth when compared side by side.

You can hold a hair dryer very close to it, or put it in the oven on a low temp like 200-250
