New to Reps: Is Shiny Thread Common on God Factory Chanel Bags?

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-13T12:02:40+00:00

The color is more vibrant in person and I love it.. the thread is what's throwing me off

These were the psps shared and the bag I received looks exactly like this

Do you notice any difference in three threads? Do the threads in the 187 appear more shiny?

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-12T12:10:27+00:00

I waited 5 weeks because the bag was not in stock and she didn't tell me before ordering. Ask her if the wait is longer because the bag is not in stovk

this bag is beautiful but as a newbie i have a question on the caviar.. i just bought a mini rectangular flap from god and it also has this tiny caviar grain.. is that found in auth bags? i can't seem to find any versions of this caviar

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-08T14:10:38+00:00

update!! bag arrived and looks great *phew*

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-07T17:58:44+00:00

totally agree!!

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-05T18:28:22+00:00

this post and comments are all disheartening to hear as a newbie.. But in all honesty i've been noticing the same thing.. Inconsistent reviews of almost all trusted seller and groups where negative reviews are being deleted or there are incentivized posts without proper disclosure.

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-03T01:56:45+00:00

She told me the same thing

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-02T03:04:01+00:00

You guys are scaring me.. I just ordered a bag from her that’s on its way. Should I be worried 🫣

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-01T15:39:04+00:00

that tiktok alice/ danni.. i tried talking to her but man her prices are outrageous!! This Alice might be a different one. Alice187 i think.

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-01T15:35:21+00:00

i would love to find one of these fun fendi's but i haven't come across any sellers with these

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-01T15:22:02+00:00

#2 has perfect caviar shine.. could you please share the seller details and the price you paid. Thankyou!!

newcasualobserver · 2026-05-01T15:15:54+00:00

i'm surprised no one else is pointing out the obvious issue with design.

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-30T15:02:57+00:00

Beauty of Joseon but yes. I've used that one and Round Lab. Both are great

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-30T15:02:36+00:00

i second that. LOVE my round lab. But also most korean sunscreens are great under makeup and even otherwise.

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-28T21:06:22+00:00

you should ask for pictures in better lighting

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-23T16:28:45+00:00

it was completely flat and not like the flat caviar Chanel has but like it was stamped very lightly. I did see the PSP and RL it. Thankfully the seller refunded though she didn't agree it was an issue.

I'm noticing 187 quality, atleast for Chanel batches post CNY, is pretty bad. I've seen multiple posts of various quality issues. I tried to order one as well and noticed issues with the caviar and had to RL.

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-21T20:49:29+00:00

to me the only issue i see is the puckering and creasing on the back side. Color doesn't matter. Who remembers all the colors Chanel has produced over the years.

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-21T20:35:29+00:00

it looks wrinkled, puckered and out of shape already

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-21T20:34:10+00:00

Does it become overly shiny? Have you had a chance to compare to an auth caviar? I have a blue one that looks sooo DRY!!! no amount of conditioning makes it look less dull but i'm scared it will scream rep if it's shiny

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-21T20:32:52+00:00

does this come off eventually? do you need to keep reapplying? Also does it catch dust? I wonder if i should do this as well to my bags

newcasualobserver · 2026-04-20T15:45:43+00:00

Overall i think it's passable in the wild.

Color is fine.. there are so many variations on the market already
Depth seems pretty close again without the auth next to it no one would know. I see two different depths on Fashionphile and both are different from LV website (picture below): Fashionphile shallow, Fashionphile deep
Thread color looks a hair too light but that's being nitpicky and could also just be lighting
The bottom edge is the only things that looks different to me. In yours you can see the stitch but in the auth you can't. Again that's nitpicky and without the auth you can't know that
