Hello! This is my first post as I’m more of a lurker. Please bear with me if this was a terrible read. I bought this bag on a whim while scrolling through AE, I was just like hmm, this looks decent and I need a tote but don’t want a neverfull or a goyard. So figured this’ll do 🤷♀️
Disclosure: I did not receive any discounts or incentives to provide this review.
Seller: AliExpress Shop3894059 Store Link to product: FLP daily battle tote

Mine: item
PSP/Factory photo: Does this count as PSP
Auth: closest I could find to mine
Payment and Shipping: 43.99 + 4.62 tax = 48.61$ paid via CC. Shipping was free, shipped via AE standard shipping.
Timeline: 15/9 19:38 scrolling through AE saw bag and inquired about more photos through chat
15/9 23:39 seller replied with more photos of product
19/09 13:31 ordered and paid for product
27/09 order dispatched
16/10 Order Delivered, shipping took forever but then it was free so I can’t really complain.
Quality: 8/10 This bag was good for the price, plus since it was on AE it was easy to order (I still cannot use taobao for the life of me and I didn’t want to spend so much by going through a TS) A few inaccuracies and slight issues with loose stitching but decent since this brand is not well known & doesn’t have many photos online anyway. There is a slight “fufu” smell as it is PU (-.5) & straps are a bit wrinkled due to shipping/packing (-.5) I’m currently hanging the bag on a hanger hoping to straighten out the straps. There is a slight wrinkle in the canvas, hoping stuffing it and hanging will help. The bag is slouchy, it won’t hold its shape unless I pack things in it. The glazing is decent & the stitching is good on the outside. There was one loose thread that I can easily snip (-.5) but the inner stitching for one of the straps is kind of messy (-.5) but it’s in the inside of the bag no one will really look at it so I guess that’s fine?
It’s a PU bag so I’m not going to be that harsh on it.
Accuracy: 7.5/10
The “fish scale” pattern is crisp, not blurry. The alignment is ok, I don’t know how the alignment on the sides are supposed to look but it looks fine for me? I can’t see many photos of it online. 😅 Only discrepancy i can think of is that the “FLP” should be at the top Center & not the “Paris-1717”. (-1) I t

Disclosure: I received Aadi’s 10% off RL promo, but I was not asked or incentivized to post a review.
Purchased: from TS Aadi via WhatsApp (contact info on TS list)
Price: ¥850 - 10% = ¥765, plus ¥420 for EMS shipping, total ¥1185 ($172.30 USD plus $4.99 PP fee)
Timeline: 8/18 messaged Aadi, received factory photos and paid
8/20 received PSPs and green lighted. Aadi sent me an EMS waybill photo same day
8/27 received!! So fast!!
Quality: 9/10 The good: Canvas is nice and thick, much more substantial than the Goyard St Louis. The pattern looks close to the auth as well, with what looks to be the right logos in the right places (hard to tell though, FLP doesn’t have a ton of pics on their site).
The straps, edging, corners and interior pocket are nice, soft leather that smells good! There’s a slight scent to the canvas but it’s not fufu and it aired out quickly.
The stabilizer in the bottom seems substantial. Stitching and glazing are neat (with exception noted below) and no loose threads.
The Bad: -.5 There is some sloppy glazing on the handles where the blue bleeds into the yellow - see my photos. In the “bullet” detail, you can see the glazing is pretty sloppy too. Much more crisp on the auth.
-.5 There’s not a lot of hardware on the bag, thank god - it’s super cheap. Pretty sure it’s not metal, just coated plastic. Hopefully it wears ok.
Accuracy: 9.65/10 The dimensions are accurate to the FLP site - the bag is the “37” size but is actually 35.5cm which is correct. The handle is adjustable and the drop and number of punches appear to be correct. The interior is the right charcoal color.
-.25 There’s some sloppy alignment on the sides - one side is better than the other. I’ve seen this on photos of the auth too so 🤷♀️
-.1 The stamping on the inside is pretty good, a little less crisp than auth. There aren’t any date codes but I’m not sure there should be?
Pretty sure none of this is calloutable, because you’d really have to be trying to nitpick (unless you were pawing the hardware) and literally 4 people in the entire state of WI have heard of FLP. If a crafty bitch calls me out, I’ll offer her a handshake and a bowl of cheese

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Longchamp Le Pliage Neo Medium - beige | 158 RMB | 730g | $43 USD. It shipped with a free pencil pouch | Auth $245 USD before taxes | 8/10 - Material of the nylon definitely feels substantial, if a smidge thinner than the auth that I handled in person. Leather trim feels like leather but definitely stiffer than auth. Hardware feels light, but the color looks accurate. | 7/10 - not 1:1 rep, missing some stiching at the back of the bag and the leather handles looks and feels like plastic. | 10/10 - More on this below |
| YSL Shopper E/W tote - burgundy | 415 RMB | 1200g | $94 USD. shipping was a doozy with this one | Auth $1,090 USD before taxes | 8/10 - My initial thoughts were that the leather was extremely stiff. It felt like low quality leather tbh. After some usage / leather conditioner it honestly feels great. | 7.5/10 - Graining/texture of the leather is different than the auth. The rep 'leather' is much smoother. The logos, stamping and hardware aren't accurate. | 10/10 - More on this below |
| Alexander Wang wangloc rhinestone pouch | 128 RMB | 53 |
Hi everyone
[Review] Taobao/DHG/Ebay Haul - Mulberry Leighton and Bayswater Wallet bought through an agent on Wegobuy. Louis Vuitton Felicie Pochette and Chanel phone case/purse from DHGate. Longchamp Le Pliage tote from eBay.
Yesterday I posted my first post here, with pictures of my Mulberry Leighton bag, Baywater Wallet and Fiorucci T-shirt from Taobao - link to post is here -https://www.reddit.com/r/RepLadies/comments/hi68vh/first_taobao_delivery_featuring_mulberry_leighton/.
I had a few comments asking for a proper review, as that post was more of a 'finds' post so here we go! I have had a few more things arrive too so i've included them in this. I haven't included the Fiorucci t-shirt in this post, but if anyone wants more info on that, let me know!
I also want to let people know that I do not own any of the auths of these items so my reviews are based purely comparing the bags to what i've seen online or on other people.
I'll begin with the two Taobao items:
Mulberry Leighton bag and Bayswater purse
- I can't provide an accurate cost of shipping as I also ordered a t-shirt and a hoodie for my boyfriend. The total cost was ¥344.16 for a parcel weighing 2840g.
- EMS
- Mulberry Leighton bagged weighed 1535g and Bayswater Wallet weighed 409g.
- I bought the items on 2 June 2020. They arrived in the warehouse on 13 June 2020. I shipped it to myself later that day, and it arrived at my house 12 days later.
***
## **Agent/Seller Service and Communication - 10/10**
- I had never used Taobao before but Wegobuy made it really easy. I found a guide on how to reverse image search on Taobao, and used that and subreddits to find the items I want. When I ordered through Wegobuy, they took decent pictures when the items arrived. I had actually ordered another t-shirt for my boyfriend but it looked too fake compared to the authentic - it was easy to return this t-shirt to the seller and I got the refund quickly and used this towards shipping.
- Chang Tao Tao is the seller for both items. He has sooo many mulberrys items, I have two more in my cart. If you like Mulberry, you can find the seller here: https://shop106356793.taobao.com/

- Quality: Excellent quality! The suede is luxurious and fits true to size. Sadly I must let it go as I haven't worn it and high heels are no longer very practical for me. I specifically asked Fishy for the older version with thicker straps hence will the tags/branding is different from the nude one.

- Quality: It is not branded. The cashmere feels luxurious and it's excellent quality. It is the most high end coat I own at 30% cashmere and 70% wool. Unfortunately it is not flattering on me since I have broad shoulders and am short waisted. I end look really boxy in it so letting it go for something more form fitting.

Thanks for looking at my post. I have several items for sale below. Please let me know if you have any questions! All buyers will pay Paypal Goods and Services and shipping. Thanks!
Prior feedback: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepLadiesBST/comments/f8vkcb/rlbst_feedback_thread_6/
SOLD Chanel boy bag, Chevron, lambskin, 25 cm, ruthenium style silver hardware
EDIT: Looks like when I purchased it (2016) that 187 didn't have the two tiers that it has now and therefore was the highest quality at the time.
Purchased from Alice from the 187 factory. I felt like this was a very nice bag (my first TS purchase!) but the style doesn't fit me, and I realized that I like the caviar leather way better. Shame because this bag is really beautiful. Regardless, this is such a nice quality bag.
Selling price + shipping: $405 (given light scratches on interior) + $20 dollar shipping fee (large USPS flat rate box). Really only trying to recoup cost of purchase.
Original purchase price: $434.39 (purchase price does not include shipping).
Source: TS Alice
Shipping: USPS, US only.
Payment method: PayPal
Including: Dust bag
Flaws/QC: Some very light scratches on leather on the upper interior part. That's what happens to lambskin! Only worn a 4-5 times. Previously had some pressure dents, but these have puffed out so looks like new! I have never taken the bag out of the house. Otherwise, good stitching and very buttery soft, supple leather and high quality. Please do your own QC!

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hello all
First time selling here and hoping I haven't missed anything out.
So I brought all of these bags before really checking the authentics in these styles and QCing properly. Some of these are great quality reps, not the most accurate but still great just not what I want any more. Others have some wear and are more mid tier. I brought these before I discovered RLs.
Chanel Classic Flap Medium in Navy with GHW
I brough this bag from UUBAGS.SU
The selling price is £215 plus shipping
The original purchase price was £245
I will ship anywhere within the UK using Royal Mail tracked posting.
What is included - the bag and a dustbag
Condition of the item There is some wear on part of the hardware which is shown in the photos, apart from that I can't see any other wear and tear. The bag was only used twice.
Quality assessment This is a beautiful bag but I think I would prefer a higher tier bag. The leather is grainy and feels dry but looks great. The chain isn't heavy and it is a light bag. The hardware seems fine on the rest of the bag except for where it has worn off abit, please see photos.

Chanel Quilted Le Boy in Lambskin and RHW
I brough this bag from UUBAGS.SU
The selling price is £185 plus shipping
The original purchase price was £245
I will ship anywhere within the UK using Royal Mail tracked posting.
What is included - the bag and a dustbag
Condition of the item There is some wear on the leather around the clasp and on the corners. As well as some scratches on the inside of the bag and one of the sides. I have only used this bag twice so am abit surprised, I don't think I did the best job QCing this bag when buying.
Quality assessment The quality could be better. It is lambskin and so has got 3 to 4 scratches that aren't immediately visible but are there. The hardware is pretty good. Please see photos.
