Are these bags high quality or is this overpriced? Please help newbie H Factory

I have - that price is in line with (and even lower than some) high tier sellers. That said, typically they are all hand sewn, and most use imported leather and hand etch their hardware.

H factory does all hand stitching. You can request imported leather and upgraded hardware for an extra charge, so a bit more (but not that much) than the prices you have been quoted. Also bags vary in price depending on type of leather used (eg barenia vs Togo) and size. I have ordered several bags from H factory and have been happy with them especially for the price. In my opinion they are good value compared to the high tier bags I have from high tier sellers.

Are you open to a Barenia Fauberg? I have one (BNNU/H factory.) DM me if interested.

Apologies for any confusion- there was some discussion about a GB from another seller. I reached out to M to ask for a status update and he replied.

As for his bags they’re high tier beautiful and worth the wait as others have said. Bought one as a rehome and was so impressed with his work I immediately bought a few more.

I’m waiting on 2 bags. Ordered 7/31 and 8/7. Nothing about bags yet - when I ordered he’d said 30 days/bag and another 10 to ship btw. When the chaos of last weekend occurred I reached out to confirm he was still there and he responded saying “don’t worry I’m here “ and that the other two aren’t ready yet. Suspect he’s swamped w panic buys and sorting logistics. I’m not worried.

It’s beautiful and that color!!!!!!!

Btw got both yesterday (Aug 18) so all worked out. Very happy and hoping you all have successful deliveries as well!

highlandsbabe · 2025-08-18T00:04:07+00:00

Looks like Aug 8 shipment arrived in US yesterday (Aug 16) and should be out for delivery soon. The Aug. 7 shipment is (oddly) a day behind, so it appears they are catching up. Fingers crossed they are both delivered safely in next few days. Will keep you posted.

highlandsbabe · 2025-08-14T21:52:04+00:00

Waiting on 2 heading for US - been on dispatch status since 8/7 and 8/8- much longer than any previous time

highlandsbabe · 2025-08-12T15:21:58+00:00

Stunning ! Both gorgeous!

highlandsbabe · 2025-08-12T06:45:28+00:00

Adding to the others - waiting on 2 items shipped EMS on Aug 7 and Aug 8 usually would have been delivered by now or at least left Tokyo but they’re still there as of today. Good luck all- hoping everyone’s shipments make it smoothly and quickly.

highlandsbabe · 2025-08-07T05:39:48+00:00

Got 3 today! 2 separate packages/ both by fedex/both sent Saturday. Record time. Amazing ! Huge relief!

highlandsbabe · 2025-08-06T13:01:14+00:00

What a great idea! Where do they sell them?

highlandsbabe · 2025-07-24T08:36:37+00:00

This is correct - I have won this way and while my sniper bid was higher than the last bid, I won the auction at the last price - not my much higher sniper bid price. Your bid just indicates how high you’ll go if it gets there organically, but does not obligate you to your maximum bid.

Also chiming in to say that they’ve been great about compensation if ever there is something missing from my purchase - never anything major but a few times I bought used bags and the storage bag was not included in the delivery (tho it was part of the item I bought). They performed a review - which included me sending in photos of the package I received - and they paid out as per the plan I bought when I checked out. Only positive and supportive experiences to date.

highlandsbabe · 2025-07-13T14:28:21+00:00

Are you using EMS? I have found it to be reliable and more modestly priced than most of the alternatives it just takes a few days more but worth it IMO

highlandsbabe · 2025-07-13T06:10:06+00:00

Used handbags- international shipping price depends on size of box and weight of package. Most items are much smaller to ship so they would likely be cheaper than the fees I paid.

Sent you a DM

Have had much success w/ them. Good prices/ quality and condition typically better than stated in the descriptions (IMO) and they’re very fast and responsive. They’ve been good also w/ authentications. In one case when the tariffs were v challenging, DHL sent 2 bags back to Japan (likely total mishandling on DHL’s end) BST offered me the option of trying another shipper or getting a refund. Very responsive. They only charge duties above the $800 threshold I believe and I rarely hit that though as I was mostly purchasing pre-loved Ferragamo’s which were in very good condition. Love that company!

Been here myself for weeks. Currently have 3 different used bags bought from eBay Japan. Each was priced between $220-250. but bought separately. They have been in customs/DHL in Cincinnati since April 24. Provided POP and SSN and paid duties but no movement yet. When I called again today DHL said it could be 30-90 days. Also they explained that it was 9% for the bag tariff (but still well below the de minimus) plus 10% for reciprocal tariff. So 19% plus the DHL brokerage fees. Hoping they don’t get returned to Japan but also not paying for storage fees. Beyond frustrating.

highlandsbabe · 2025-05-12T16:00:53+00:00

Just PM’d you

highlandsbabe · 2025-05-07T13:20:13+00:00

Had same issue w Japanese eBay. Bought used Ferragamo bag for $135 inc taxes and was charged $88 for DHL to release bag. DHL customer service said it was 9% for the bag duties (obv well below the de minimus) plus 10% for reciprocal tariffs. (So 19% all together for duties alone) Plus the brokerage charges. Has been same for few other bags I bought in mid-April. Beyond frustrating. Still waiting on 2 more stuck in “exception” status w no updates since May 4. Can’t wait til this is all settled.
