This one is a little different from the usual posts here so bear with me. I came across this design in an antique jewelry book a while back, an old Cartier piece featuring sapphires and white diamonds set in twisted rope gold frames, linked together in a wide double row. The kind of thing you would never find in a current collection, which is exactly what drew me to it.

There is something about vintage Cartier that the modern pieces just cannot replicate, the weight of the gold detailing, the way the stones sit inside each individual frame rather than just being mounted on a plain band. The challenge was finding someone who could actually make it. The twisted rope frame on each link is a very specific detail and not something most sellers would bother getting right. I eventually went with Lili after a few conversations-they have more experience with complex custom work and felt like they genuinely understood what I was going for.

Specs: Lab sapphire and lab white diamond, 18K yellow gold, 15cm length.

Timeline: Ordered 3/1, CAD received 3/7, confirmed 3/11, QC received and confirmed 3/21. About three weeks start to finish which felt very reasonable for a piece this involved.

The result came back better than I expected. Each link has a clean twisted rope border, the sapphires and diamonds alternate evenly across both rows, and the whole bracelet has a satisfying weight on the wrist.

One thing I did not expect, I have warmer skin and was genuinely worried the white diamonds against yellow gold would look muddy or off. The opposite happened. The contrast actually makes the vintage feel stronger. It looks like something that has been around for decades, which is exactly what I wanted. Honestly I doubt anyone would clock this as a rep. But pieces like this deserve more attention so here we are.

Seller: Tiny Jenny 10/10!!

She is super responsive, always answers within minutes. Provided tracking numbers, easy payment thru PayPal and fast service. My timeline: first contact and placed order and payment same day on 3/28, PSP sent 4/1, tracking number sent 4/4 and bag arrived yesterday, 4/10. It was well packaged and arrived beautifully.

Product: Chanel 25 small in black caviar OF Factory 8.5/10

So I have never seen a 25 in person but I’ve looked at a ton of pics online and I own 3 authentic Chanel flaps (various styles) so take my opinion accordingly. I think the bag looks stunning, it has all the correct marks, the hardware is spot on with my similar authentic bags BUT I feel overall the leather is “lighter” and doesn’t have the same heft as an authentic bags. It looks great, and I live in a wealthy area where Chanels are pretty common and I don’t think anyone would clock this bag. In fact I wore it out immediately last night and got many compliments:)

BUT this is my first rep and I wanted to ask others, how is the weight of your bag? Is it common to “feel” different from the authentic? I think the weight of the hardware is pretty spot on, it’s the leather that feels light. Or is this the feeling of a real 25? Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated! DM for Jenny’s contact too.

Hello

I would like to know if there is a best version or perfect rep for the trunk 25 ?

Thanks

Dear ladies,

For a very long time I wanted blue mini bag from Blake. I have reached out to Bella H (4522), one out 3 official TS that can get Blake. When I received PSPs I was not thinking a lot about it but now when I got it, I’m starting to question if this is a Blake bag? When I’m comparing to pictures of others, it seems mine is completely different shape and back pocket seems different? It was not cheap either - 462$. Can any of you recognize if this is indeed Blake or other factory? Maybe my expectations were high and this seems like a mid-tier bag.

What do you think?

⭐️ Just received this little cutie from seller Sophia.

It’s from Xing Xing Factory which I think is supposed to be mid tier. It’s my first time trying this factory because it seems like only mid tiers are doing these bag charms for now. I was pleasantly surprised how sweet and well made she is. The leather is soft, zipper is smooth and hardware is great 👍🏻 they also do the Kelly charms and other stars in different colours. Super cuteeee!!

From Liusheng Factory, purchased from Baobao.

I ended up RL this bag, i felt like the bottom was uneven and the straps were badly creased. I did ask to exchange it with another factory / Jipin factory. What do you ladies think?

Hey everyone!

Received this PSP from Heidi (187) for small Chanel flap lghw. Is there any give away signs on the bag? How does it compare to auth? This is my second order with Heidi, first bag was black caviar flap really happy with it! With this one being white I’m just being extra cautious there’s no giveaway with stitching/ colour/ hardware ect. As black is less obvious.

I am SO upset. This is the 2nd time I’ve purchased from this seller. The first time he made me confirm before sending it off. This time he messaged at 4AM. I was asleep so I didn’t respond until I woke up. I saw the star on the shoe was SUPER wonky so I pointed that out and said if we can have that fixed that’d be great. I wasn’t happy with the quality of that star on the shoe and that’s a big deal. I mean it’s very obvious. Then he responds this?? What do I do??

💬Thoughts about the bag: Okay so I’m not even gonna pretend I’m some Hermès expert because I’m not… but this bag??? Yeah… I get it now. I really do! I’m glad I went with this bag as my very first official Hermes bag! This is the Hermès 24/24 29 in étoupe with gold hardware and she’s giving quiet rich sports mom that doesn’t need to say a word. First off, the leather combo is actually insane. The Togo on the body has that pebbled texture so it feels durable and low stress, like you’re not panicking over every little scratch. Then the Swift on the flap is all smooth and soft and fancy looking… like she has a personality switch depending on her mood. The smell of this leather is unlike any leather smell I’ve smelt before! It’s so delicious, I could eat it! It smells soo damn good! Color wise… étoupe is that perfect in between. Not gray, not brown, just expensive looking neutral that goes with literally everything without trying. Perfect for all seasons too! Now let’s talk about what fits because this part surprised me. This bag looks kinda chill and slouchy but she holds a LOT. Like I threw in my wallet, 2 iPhones, Anker charger, a whole makeup pouch, Kleenex, Touchland sanitizer, sunglasses, and still had room to be irresponsible. Apparently the 29 size is meant to be an everyday bag and can even fit bigger stuff like a tablet if you really wanted to push it. There’s also that sneaky little back pocket which is actually clutch for your phone when you don’t feel like digging around like a raccoon. Only thing I will say… the opening is a little like “okay girl work with me” sometimes. You’ve got space, but you still have to finesse it a bit to get things in and out. And she’s not light either… like once you load her up, you feel it. But honestly? She feels solid, like you’re carrying something legit. Overall… I feel like this is that bag for people who don’t want to do the whole Birkin or Kelly hunger games but still want that Hermès vibe. It’s lowkey, a little slouchy, a little structured, and just does her job without being loud. 10/10 would carry her to soccer or basketball practice and still feel like I have my life together 🤎

💭Thoughts about the seller: Devin is honestly such a dream to work with. Talking to her doesn’t feel like a transaction at all, it feels like chatting with a girlfriend who’s known you forever and just gets your taste without you having to over explain. She really knows her stuff when it comes to Hermès, and I fully trusted her to put something together for me… and wow, she delivered. I gave her a general idea of what I liked, and she came back with this combo, the color, the hardware, everything, and it’s literally better than what I had in my head. Like… how did she know me better than I know myself? The whole process felt easy, no stress, no guessing, just good vibes and solid guidance. And the end result? Obsessed doesn’t even cover it. I already know I’m going back for more. Highly recommend her if you want someone who actually listens and knows what they’re doing. 🤎🤎🤎

I’m getting it from a factory called yoyo factory thru axin

(I’m not expecting 1:1 quality) I want something that looks passable in real life and cute in pictures. So what do yall think?

I just got these GGDB shoes from Mandy and I am so nervous about the sizing.

I usually wear US 7 and 7.5 works too sometimes. For EU sizing it’s always 38.

I measured my foot length and I think it’s \~24.5 but that says I’m an EU39 on Mandy’s chart, but that just sounds so big to me?

Also, I have a pair of auth Ball Star and it is a IT37. Usually people have told me people size down one size for ballstar’s but I know in this case a rep is different.

I really don’t know what size to get. I’d rather have it be a little loose than too tight but I also wouldn’t want it to look so big on me when I wear them either!! Any advice?? Thanks so much in advance!!!

I’m new and looking for a good seller to work with. I contacted a seller who sent me these pictures. Does the community know which factory this is and if it is any good?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve heard Belly mentioned when searching this brand but I can’t find her contact, so if anyone can help in that area, I’d appreciate it! ♥️🙏
