I am so sorry that this is long overdue but I stepped out of the luxury and rep purchasing world to go back to travelling for the past few months. With Omicron, Iβm staying put again and catching up with my online communities!
I had posted the following reference for an authentic Fendi First in Caramel before I received my rep version from Nickloe Original reference thread for caramel fendi first
Several people have asked me to do a post comparing rep to authentic so here it is! Nickloe Rep vs Authentic Caramel Fendi First - Photos
Iβve made specific comments with each photo for clarity but overall my impressions are:
The rep is amazingly done, better than most other reps Iβve bought and compared to authentic. I could not tell them apart without being side by side, and in fact, got confused about which strap was which, and caused me to get out my authentic black strap to figure out by the stitching which was the authentic caramel strap. They did a good job inside and out with a few exceptions Iβll list below, and the weight of the bag is similar to authentic (my authentic caramel was 617g and my black was 635g, while the caramel rep was 623g). I would totally wear this out confidently among my luxury purse buying friends and I think Iβm going to sell my authentic caramel as I havenβt even carried it out yet (stupid pandemic!).
The main differences:
The leather is stiffer and does not shape as well, but it is nice and thick β not feeling plasticky or cheap. The authentic sits perfectly flat if I leave it stored like that while the rep is a bit rounded both on the bottom and sides, and less pliable. Fendi leather is very hard to replicate so this is not an issue for most and would not be noticeable if you didnβt have them side by side to feel.
The gold metal that makes the βFβ is thinner on the rep, but itβs less than a mm difference so only can tell when side by side. The top closure is not as tight as authentic but my bag is better than some Iβve seen that have an obvious gap.
The engraving of Fendi on the inside metal is different. The authentic is more lasered and shallow while the rep is more etched and deep. The inside leather tag is identical though.
The strap leather and thread are a bit different in shade on the caramel and the stitching is closer to both edges on the authentic than the rep. The hardware is d

I really like the look of Revlon Frost abs Glow Honey Highlights kit to do at home but cannot find anywhere in the UK to buy it. Does anyone have any suggestions for caramel/honey highlighting kits at home for dark brown hair that are available in the UK?

I posted my black one here and was asked to show the caramel one when it arrived. I did not think I could love a bag more than my black Fendi First, but I think the Caramel colour shows off the beautiful gold hardware even more! I tried to take a lot of photos but did not add measurements this time as they are the exact same as the black
