I bought a Rowe Flamenco bag from 1688, and honestly… it was fun and stressful at the same time 😆
At first, you think you're saving money, but not really. The bag itself was 300 RMB, then I paid about $50 for shipping through a shipping agent. So in total, I ended up spending almost $100 for this bag.
I basically just picked a random store with a 3.5 service score and 99.9% positive reviews. I didn't really understand anything in the listing hahaha
I was literally screenshotting everything and translating it 😂 Definitely a lot of work! It's like a DIY shopping experience.
The description says it’s “first layer” cowhide, and when it arrived, it actually smelled like real leather, so that part seems accurate. The hardware is also surprisingly heavy, looks good.
Honestly, the shipping part was the most stressful. You have to think about customs, possible duties, and the risk of your package getting held or delayed. I even chose to ship without the box just to make it safer and avoid issues.
Overall, it’s a mix of excitement and stress… would i want to do it again? No no no no but possible maybe yes? 😆
