Hi! Has anyone ordered a good quality rep of this bag? I think read that raffia reps aren’t the greatest but if anyone has bought a version they like please let me know! Thanks!

REPOSTING because I think I used the wrong reference photo in my original post.

Recently placed my first order with Provence and worked with Mandy who was great!

I placed a custom order for a replica of a DY pave pinky signet ring. I was told Provence has made the style before which made me feel good about ordering from them. I went with 10k YG lab grown but wish I had sprung for 14k (it was $250+ more at the time). The ring is beautiful and so sparkly! I did try the DY version on in store and remember it fitting slightly better as the size 3 I order is a smidge tighter than I’d like…but feels very secure and not uncomfortable to wear. The original ring has the classic DY cable design on the sides but I opted to just keep the sides smooth. I paid $586 for this ring

I also ordered a pair of 2 total carat weight 14k YG lab diamond huggies for my mom’s birthday. These are also beautiful and sparkly! Paid $695 for them.

Ordered: 3/26
CAD received: 4/8
PSPs received: 4/26
Items arrived: 5/1

Had a lovely first experience with Mandy! She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Answered all my questions throughly. Would highly recommend! Thanks Mandy!

Despite sharing the measurements from the DY site and if you look closing the rings are not 100% identical but doesn’t matter to me. Still love it! It feels hefty and very well made.

I’ve been buying reps for about a year now but this my first “big girl” purchase and first experience with Vinko. I did a ton of research before buying and considered all the major rep jewelers. After reading countless reviews I decided that Vinko’s craftsmanship for the price seemed top notch.

I placed my order with Vinko on 3/26/26 and paid my deposit via Wise. Received PSPs on 4/10/26 and my bracelet arrived to the East Coast on 4/18/26. All in all a quick and easy process.

I ordered a size 15.5 dual closure bracelet with 4 lab diamonds (natural diamonds would have cost marginally more. Seems like a great deal vs diamond prices of other sellers). I asked that a “15” be inscribed in the bracelet rather than “15.5” which they adhered too. My bracelet is 28g of gold.

I’m extremely happy with the final product! I went back and forth on whether to get the medium (which I also loved) or the classic. I think I’m happy with my decision as these things aren’t getting any cheaper! And it’s classic for a reason. It’s super shiny and has a lot of weight to it. I’ve never screwed on an auth before but this one closes smoothly and feels secure. Vinko’s communication was clear and smooth.

I did see some reviews that said they were essentially available on WhatsApp 24/7 but that wasn’t my experience. Responses were never delayed but of the jewelers I’ve interacted with their response speed was average given the time difference between China and the US.

Had a great first experience and I’m sure it won’t be my last!
