Damier Azur Canvas Speedy 30 Review by Tia

Damier Azur Canvas Speedy 30
I bought this bag from a street vendor in Florence, Italy for 30 euros after bargaining it down from like 60 euros. All up I LOVED the colour it was heaps summery and a lot of Italian women had it so I wanted one too. It is fairly sturdy and the handles are really nice and smooth, given that I use it everyday and throw it around. I'm not sure if its really supposed to have a gold plaque on it, but given that I use it a lot it has kind of tarnished and looks a bit yuk now :( But overall I really like this bag its a good size and its surprisingly easy and comfortable to carry around.

Hermes Birkin with silver hardware 40cm grey bag review by Ace

2010-11-18T14:57:00.000-08:00

The following bag review is by Ace and he is great to write a very detail summary of his Hermes Birkin from Joy. Thank you Ace.

"My Birkin arrived very promptly, all the way from China to California in less than a week. Ordering was easy and customer service with Joy. She was wonderful as usual. Joy is great at answering all questions and is honest about her products. If only the bag was as wonderful as Joy is... unfortunately, the Birkin had been stuffed into a small box, thus severely deforming it and bending the bag out of shape. The handles were especially bad - they were facing the wrong directions and looked terrible. This was very frustrating for me, as I look forward to being able to take a great replica out of the box and use it straight away.
There was also some sort of white paint or glue on the top edge of the Birkin. At first, I thought it was paper, so I tried to scratch it off. After trying and trying to remove the substance, I finally succeeded, but took a chunk out of the leather as a result. Annoying! Speaking of the leather, it is not nearly as soft or supple as I hoped it would be. I have an authentic Birkin for comparison, and this replica is hard to the touch and very stiff. The bag is rigid and feels like canvas.

The attention to detail is pretty good -Joy did a great job with the "Hermes - Paris" engraving on the metal plate - however, the stamped letters on the bag's strap are crooked and look unprofessional. I finally decided that the bag is NOT worth $200, and emailed Joy with a request to send it back.

Overall, I would give the whole experience a 5/10. I've used Joy in the past and like their products, bu not this time. Their Birkin needs a lot of work, and I would advise looking elsewhere for Hermes."

Pictures of LV trevi, speedy and galliera bags by Tanesha

2010-11-17T16:05:00.000-08:00

Hi the follow pictures are taken by Tanesha. She didn't want any seller's information, that is why the pictures are limited. She is very generous to share with everyone the bags she brought. She also wrote the following to help others when buying reps. Thank you Tanesha.

"i LOVE my galliera!!! at first i was concerned about the material it was made of but joy reassured me that it was in fact made from coated canvas. i have lots of pictures of it. in 2 of the pictures im posting, the trevi pm and the damier azur speedy are going to be featured in it. i DID NOT order those 2 bags from Joy the trevi came from toptopbag.net and the speedy from e-replica-bags.com."

How to get Jacky, Catty and other seller's information?

2010-11-14T09:41:00.000-08:00

I have been asked a few times about obtaining the sellers of Catty, Jacky or any other sellers. I have no problem in passing this information, but my main concern is if I do give out this information people who read my blog won't come back and make comments or learn about replica bags. The whole point of me starting this blog was to help not only me, but other people in finding great replica bags. I want people to read my blog and not be afraid in making comments or give their honest reviews. I have not learn everything there is to learn about replica bags and I need my readers to educate me as well. So I think the only fair way of doing this is I am willing to give any information on any seller if I get a bag review from you. The rules are:

1. For every bag review I get I will give you one seller's information. PLEASE ONLY BAG REVIEW OF REPS OR AUTHENTIC BAGS. I much rather prefer reps. DO NOT GIVE ME PICTURES OF BAGS FROM COMPANY LIKE NINE WEST, GUESS, PAYLESS OR OTHER LESS KNOWN DESIGNERS. These kind of bag reviews don't help anyone.

2. Take 5 pictures (If you could take more that would be great.) and I will be posting your pictures on my blog and giving you the credit. Take pictures of the bag's handles (Make sure there is no plastic covering the handles. If there is, just remove it or move it to the side and then take the picture.), inside the bag, front of the bag, back of the bag and the last picture should be a picture of your hand doing the bunny ears or peace sign with the bag. (The reason I ask this is because I know that the pictures you take are really yours and you didn't just copy it from any websites. Anyone could put in a watermark on the pictures. Not many people take pictures with their hand doing the bunny ears with the bag.) Make sure I could open up your files and your pictures are good, if I cannot open it up I cannot give you the seller's information. If your pictures have too much glare or blurriness I cannot accept it. There are no exceptions.

3.Write a paragraph about your bag and your shopping experience and where did you get the bag. Just 4 or 5 sentences, if you want to write more that would be great.

4. I don't know how many responses I will get, if I don't get to you, please be patient. Please e-mail all the pictures and your experiences to craftress@yahoo.com.

5. I will not make any exceptions. These rules apply to everyone. Once I do give you the sellers' information, PLEASE DO NOT POST IT IN THE COMMENT BELOW. I will delete it. It's only fair that everyone contributes and get the sellers by themselves. I will also be deleting any seller's information on the comment below or any hints in obtaining the seller's information. This is only fair and it's not hard to do one bag review.

Here are some tips in taking good pictures of your bag. Turn off the flash and open up some windows to let in natural light. When you take the picture it would not create this glare or white spot. Use the close up mode in your camera to take details of the bag, like the buckle, zipper or stitching and it eliminate any blurry pictures.

Here are some ideas of what to write about. Comment on the color, size and stitching of the bag. Do you like the bag? Is it cheaply made and what are your thoughts when you got the bag? How long did you have to wait in receiving the bag? Was it expensive? Where did you buy it? etc.

Here is an example of a bag I took picture to show you what is considered acceptable. When you take a picture of you doing the bunny ears make sure you don't block the bag. As you can see from the pictures below.

Picture #1-Front of the bag

Picture #2- back of the bag.

Picture #3- the bag handle.

Picture #4- Inside of the bag.

Picture #5- your hand doing the bunny ears with the bag. Do not block the bag.

Picture #5- your hand to the side doing the bunny ears with the bag. Do not block the bag.

Marc Jacob Wallet Review.

2010-11-07T10:19:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. Been awhile since my last review. Here is a review of the Marc Jacob wallet I brought from Joy and so far it's my favorite wallet. Very well made and I love the color. There are a lot of compartments inside the wallet, so plenty of room for your bills, receipts, credit cards, and it could fit a small compact mirror and lip gloss to use as a clutch bag. I love the quilted pattern at the back of the wallet, which is stitched very nicely and not sloppy. In front of the wallet are two compartments, which are so cute. You could put coins or small items such as; jewelry so you could change your look easily. The only problem I have with the wallet is the zipper end is too long, which is a dead give away for a replica. I solve the problem by just tucking it inside the wallet, so it's not too bad. I recommend this wallet. It comes in many colors. I don't know if Joy have anymore because last time I check she was sold out of the white.

Tips on not being scammed when buying from ioffer.com

2010-10-25T13:59:00.000-07:00

UPDATE ON A NEW BLOG. WWW.REPBAGSCHAT.BLOGSPOT.COM

Hi everyone. My adsense on this blog got messed up. I try to fix it, but cannot, so I create another blog just like Rep Bags. I transfer all the posts and almost everyone's comments on the new blog. The new blog is called REP BAGS CHAT. Here is the link www.repbagschat.blogspot.com From now on please go to the new blog site for updates on reps and to post all your comments. I will only be posting on www.repbagschat.blogspot.com from now on. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Hi everyone, I know a lot of people have been asking me about finding a great replica bag from ioffer.com or any other sellers. Here are some of my tips that I used when shopping for great reps. This will help some shopper pick a great seller and not be ripped off. I know this can be confusing, but if you follow my tips it might help you out on saving money and getting a great rep.

1. I type in the bag I want and I sort the listed of bags from Lowest to highest price. Do not go for sellers that is the cheapest online. Cheap doesn't mean good or expensive doesn't mean good either. RESEARCH is the way to go. From that list, I skip all the bags that have pictures of authentic bags or stolen pictures from other website. Pictures could be deceiving, so skip all the listings that have fake pictures or you think the pictures are off. If they have watermark, that is good. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR MORE PICTURES FROM THE SELLER OR ASK QUESTIONS. If the seller avoid that question you should avoid buying from them.

2. Skip all the sellers that have less than 99% approval ratings and sold less than 100 bags in their profile.

3. Once you narrow all the sellers that has less than 99% approval rating, look at how many of bags they sold. Pick the seller that sold the most bags in their profile. Don't just pick any sellers with just 99% approval ratings. That can be deceiving. Always read the negative feedback from the buyers. It is usually listed on the last page of the seller's feedback page. Ioffer usually put it in the last page, because it puts sellers in a negative light. Reading the negative reviews give you an idea of how sellers handle the situation when there is a problem. Were the seller able to fix the problem or they ignore it? When did it happen? Did a lot of negative feedback start popping out recently, if it did, that is telling me that the seller is dealing with problems in their own life or manufacturing problems in the factory. You should avoid it. Click on a few of the negative review and read the exchange of communication between buyer and seller. See if the seller was good at communicating and did s/he ignore the buyer's questions? If they ignore the buyers questions, mostly likely they will ignore the buyer when there's a problem in the future. Reading the conversation also give you an idea that sometimes the buyer is being unreasonable and refused to work with the seller.

4. It is also a good idea to contact any pass buyers of the bag and ask them personally how they like the bag. They might ignore you, but there is a chance they will answer you back. Questions like, How is the stitching, color and shape of the bag? Do you recommend this seller? etc.

5. Another way of picking a seller is when members from bag forums put pictures of their purchases online. If you see what you like go buy it from that seller.

6. I cannot say one seller is better than the other. One seller might sell the best LV bags, but their Chanel is not great or their Gucci is bad. Another seller might have great Balenciaga bag, but not Hermes. My advice is buy from the seller according to their specialty.

I hope some of my tips help people in finding great replica bags. I know recently that my readers are asking me about Jacky, Catty or any other sellers. I am not being a bitch and being a seller hoarder. I do not mind sharing, which I will be doing in my future post. Please be patience. I just want to find a fair and great way in sharing so everyone could benefit.

A whole bunch of Coach reviews.

2010-10-16T08:35:00.000-07:00

This is one of the designer labels I refused to buy reps. I didn't see any point because it's so cheap buying an authentic from any outlets and on top of that Coach factory would often have discount. Often times I would get an additional 20% coupon off of all purchases. I am not much of a Coach bag lover. I have yet to find a coach bag I really love that fits my style. I often purchase wristlets, wallets and just recently I purchase a fanny pack which I love. Yes, I am guilty of bring back the 80's with a fanny pack purchase. This is a mini haul of my Coach collection. It's not much, but hopefully I will be getting more in the future.

Gucci Belt Bag in Gold review. (Fanny Pack)

2010-10-07T19:56:00.000-07:00

I have never brought any Gucci bag reps before. This was my first purchase from the seller Xiaofangch. I was disappointed with this bag, because the gold rubbed off at the front of the bag. I am not that picky, but it's pretty noticeable. If it was underneath of the flap, I wouldn't care. The shipping is pretty fast. I got the bag in less than a week. The price of the bag was not worth it. I was so in love with this belt bag from the beginning and wanted it. Joy sold out of the gold belt bag and I had to find an alternative. I looked at bags from other rep sites, but they were charging so much money. On ioffer there were only two sellers that were selling the bag, so not much to pick from. I got very impatient and just brought it from this seller thinking the seller will sell out of it. I hate return things, it's too much hassle. Next time, I try to be more patient and wait for a better seller. I will still use the bag. Here are the pictures.

LV Monogram Denim Pleaty Review.

2010-10-07T19:01:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, this is another bag review from Joy. I am pretty impress with this bag. It looks great with somewhat proper stitching and nice denim color. Take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think. I am not going to write too much about it and post more pictures instead. I hope this give you a better idea if this bag is worth purchasing or not. I think the only thing I do not like about the bag is the side of the red paint is too light (It should be a deeper red color.) and the stitching of the handle area is a little off. It's not too noticeable. It doesn't bother me.

Balenciaga Part-time Brown in RH Review

2010-09-23T11:21:00.000-07:00

After my less than favorable run with the Newbagfactory, I set out to find another seller that are selling Balenciaga bags. I was looking for a seller that has great customer services and great prices. I came across oobags and looked at the online store and liked what I saw. Pretty good prices and looks like they have great customer services. The only problem is trying to decide what color I want and in what style. After days of looking at pictures and also at what color bags I have in my small collection, I finally decided on the brown color in the part-time style. The color brown is very versatile and yet classic looking, which could look great in a causal outfit or a suit. I contact oobags and asked the seller a few questions to test out the seller's communication ability and how long did it take for the seller to contact me. I was very pleased in knowing that the seller was more than happy to answer any questions I might have and also helped me in deciding which color I want as well. The best thing I like was the price was 35% cheaper than Newbagfactory and the bag was in lambskin. On to the negative, the bag's quality is not as good as Newbagfactory, but looks still as good. The bag has a nice leather smell to it and looks very distress looking. It is not as soft as Newbagfactory or as thick (The leather is thinner.), but with continuous use, I'm sure it will soften up. The bag is a little shiny, but it could be fixed up with some apple care product. The size is the same as Newbagfactory. The only thing that bother me about the bag was the handle was a little off as you could see from the pictures, but I doubt anyone would notice it and for that price, I cannot complain. The bales doesn't dip down as you will also see in the picture. To me, the bales doesn't bother me because i won't be using the shoulder strap. I hope my review and pictures will give you an idea if this bag is right for you.

LV Epi Leather Speedy 30 in Fuchsia M59022 review

2010-09-14T19:08:00.000-07:00

The follow review is for the LV Epi Leather Speedy 30 in Fuchsia (M59022). I brought this bag from Joy and this is by far the best replica of all the bags I brought from Joy. I have not found any flaws at all except for one, which is very minor. The LV logo on the side of the bag is not imprinted deep enough. That’s about it. The color is gorgeous and the stitching and size of the bag looks great. There are two big compartments in the bag and it"s great for putting in you personal items, or cell phone, keys, small wallet, etc. This is a fun colorful bag that would spark or give a pop of color to any plain outfit. I love this bag so much. Please use the pictures I took as a reference. This would help you decide, if you wish to buy the LV Epi Leather Speedy 30 in Fuchsia.

LV Slighty Denim Grey Bag Review

2010-09-01T00:18:00.000-07:00

The follow bag review is for the LV Monogram Slightly Denim in Grey #M95834. I brought this bag from Joy and I used this bag as an everyday bag. I like the fact that you could carry it on your shoulder and you don't have to hold it, which your hands could get tired easily. This denim bag goes well with jeans, casual dresses or any low key outfit. It's a grab and go bag. The strap is adjustable and it comes with two straps. I only used one. Inside the bag, there are two compartments for cellphone, keys, mirror compact or any other small item stuff. It's a great bag to have. However, there are a few flaws I have to point out. The first thing I notice was the tip of the zipper's end was not glued properly. You could see two leather pieces slightly pulled apart, which I tried to fix by crazy gluing it. It did look better, but you could still see the two layers of leather, which looks a little uneven. I am not a picky person and I could live with that, but some people cannot. If anyone wants to buy this bag from Joy, please ask her to make sure the tip of the zipper's end is even and not sloppy or pulled apart. For me I could always tuck the zipper's end inside the bag and call it a day. The second thing I found wrong with this bag is I brought this bag in June and only used it a handful of times and the unthinkable happened. Please look at the photos I took, it will give you a better idea of what I am talking about. The small vintage bass pieces from the strap and the tip of the zipper's end, a total of three, fell off. I was bummed out. I e-mailed Joy and asked her to send me the bass pieces, so I could glue it back on. She apologized and told me it would be 10-15 days for me to get it, so in the meantime I have to use another bag for my everyday bag. (This is why I like buying from Joy, she always try to work things out with you and she was so quick with the response e-mail. Within 5 mins I sent out that e-mail about the bass pieces, she wrote me a response back.) My advice is to ask Joy to make sure the bass pieces are glued properly, before it's mail out or put extra glue on it, when you get the bag, so there are no accidents. If you still feel unsure about buying from Joy, there are other seller's like Jacky or Catty who also sell the same bag. I cannot comment on their quality, because I haven't made any bag purchases from them yet. Maybe in the future. I'll be doing more bag reviews in the future, so keep a lookout.
UPDATED: I e-mail Joy asking for the bass pieces and she was only able to mail me two out of the three pieces. Kind of annoying and irritating after one month has passed. Hopefully, she will get me the other piece next month.

UPDATE ON A NEW BLOG. WWW.REPBAGSCHAT.BLOGSPOT.COM

Hi everyone. My adsense on this blog got messed up. I try to fix it, but cannot, so I create another blog just like Rep Bags. I transfer all the posts and almost everyone's comments on the new blog. The new blog is called REP BAGS CHAT. Here is the link www.repbagschat.blogspot.com From now on please go to the new blog site for updates on reps and to post all your comments. I will only be posting on www.repbagschat.blogspot.com from now on. Sorry for the inconveniences.
Hi everyone, today I will be warning people about a blogger named Sofia Nolan, who runs the website Replicapot.com. People, please be careful. She is a scam artist. Her website is not there to help people find great replica bags, it is to promote her own online store of replica bags. I first knew about her when I was researching for reviews on where to buy replica bags or any forum that would help me. If you go to her website, which is Replicapot.com, you will see that the blog is very well put together and looks very professionally done. It seems like she knows a lot of replica bags, but be warn. It's all smoke and mirrors. The picture, that suppose to look like her on the upper right hand corner of the blog, is fake. It looks like it was graphically designed, and looks cartoon like. Sofia Nolan could be a man for all I know. What I do see when reading her blog is that she mostly ask her viewers to buy from Replicavalley.com and she said that Fabaaa was a horrible site. I knew that wasn't true and something doesn't add up. Her website looks very fishy to me. 95% out of Sofia's mouth was Replicavalley.com. I did take a look at replicavalley and got very turned off by the prices. It was twice as high as Joy's, Catty's and Jacky's. There was no way, I was going to buy from her even, if she does have great reps. ( In this case, the bags from replicavalley.com was very poorly done. The quality was bad and the stitching was off and very sloppy looking. This is according to the research I have been reading on some forums and other blog sites.) I was still convinced that something wasn't right and my female instinct kicked it. Ladies, always listen to your gut feelings, if you ignore it, you pay for it later on. I google "Sofia Nolan" and also "Replicavalley.com sucks". I was so surprise at what I found it. It turns out that Sofia is affiliated with replicavalley.com. So it explains everything and why she has been promoting that website like crazy. I keep digging and I found out that Pursevalley.com, Replicavalley.com, Replicavision.com and Touchbags.com are all own by Sofia herself and she also goes by the name Eva Knox. She censors a lot of her viewers' comments. I try writing a comment and it was never posted, but however, I did received a lot of junk mail from Replicavalley.com promoting their bags. I never brought any bags or sign up for their newsletter, but somehow I was able to get e-mails from them. Coincidences? You tell me. That is when I knew that Sofia is 100% a scammer. If you look at all of the websites, they look the same. What are the odds? I got this information by reading the comments on thereplicaguru.blogspot.com and http://allwomenstalk.com/louis-vuitton-replica-handbag-sites-review/comment-page-3/#comments. My advice is join Sofia's blog if you want information and pictures of the replica bags, but do not listen to her when she suggest where to buy replicas. To be honest, I wouldn't even waste my time.

LV Mini Lin Speedy 30 Review

2010-08-21T21:59:00.000-07:00

The following rep bag review is from the LV collection Mini Lin. This is the speedy 30 #M95224. I brought this Mini Lin from Joy. I found Joy through another member from ioffer after trying endlessly to find the LV Monogram Denim Neo Speedy in blue. (Till this day, I have yet to find the best Denim Neo speedy. If anyone out there knows where to find a great mirror image, please let me know.) The member gave me Joy’s information and I contact her about her products. She was quick on her response and she answers all my questions and gave me pictures before I even buy any of her products, when requested. I have to say that Joy’s customers’ service is the best and she does bend over backwards for her customers. I find shopping from Joy is quick and easy and her products are great. It’s hard to find great seller who are honest and could communicate with you without broken English. On to the bag, I try to post a lot of pictures and measurement of the bag and make little comment, so anyone could make their own judgment if buying from Joy is worth it or not.

The top of the bag

The front of the bag.

Inside of the bag.

The side of the bag.

The handle.


The Lock and Key, which has a nice weight to it and not cheap looking.

The serial number which is AR0140.

The leaf, please look at the stitching, which has 8.

More of the stitching on the other leaf

The stitching of the handle looks uniform.

The handle attachment stitching.

Pictures of both attachments.

Inside of the bag, picture of the ring.

When looking at any LV bags, make sure the LV logo is not cut off. That is the difference between a good and bad rep.

The Zipper.

Measurement of the back of the bag is 12inches.

The measurement of the side of the bag from bottom to top is 7.5in.

The measurement of the bag lengthwise is a little over 12in

The side of the bag measures around 6.5in.

The material of the Mini Lin looks and feels pretty good. It does not feel cheap at all. A few people had brought the Mini Lin from Joy and posted pictures of it. They all loved their Mini Lin and I cannot agree more. This is not to promote Joy’s business or any replica business. I am just giving my honest opinion about buying from Joy or any other sellers. It is very important that everyone do their own research to find the correct measures, color, etc for any rep bags. I cannot say one seller is better than the other. It all depends on the type of bag an individual would buy. Joy might have the best LV bags, but her Balenciaga is not the best and she doesn't have some of the designer bags like Chanel. Her prices are often more than Jacky’s or Catty’s. So, always shop around and ask questions. Try to study the bag you want to buy, look at the stitching, measurements and colors of the bag before buying. Please do research on this blog, or any replica bag blogs or forums, so you can compare who has the best replica bags.

I want to give everyone a heads up when buying from Joy. Be careful. In the past, I read from forums that Joy’s website is not safe and one customer had her credit card stolen and there were unauthorized charges. That customer never used the card before except on Joy’s website. Personally, this has never happen to me. I had order from her twice and both times I used google checkout. It’s been awhile since that incident had happened, so I am just assuming that Joy had already fixed the problem. Am I saying that I do not recommend her website? No, just be careful and look at your monthly credit card statement to be safe and if you want to be extra safe ask Joy that you prefer to use google checkout. Please visit me again; because I will be doing more LV bags review.

Balenciaga Vert D’ Eau Part-Time in GSH Review

This is the front of the bag.

This is a photo of the bottom of the bag. I am not a Balenciaga expert, so I do not know if this bag is suppose to have feet or not.If it does, please leave a comment below.

The Picture above is inside of the bag, which is very roomy.

The back of the label has the serial number. The numbers are 168028.200047

Picture of the sliverware which is Giant Sliver Hardware.

As you can see the handle it is very dry still and winkle. I hope with time and more conditioning it will moisten.

Picture of the strap. Some ladies have been complaining where the bales doesn't dip down. They use pliers to corrected it. I am not going to use the strap so it doesn't bother me. Personally I don't think anyone would notice the bales, if you are walking and swinging the bag as one lady mentioned. If it bothers you I would suggest buying it from another seller, (B&S).

Picture of the strap

The width of the strap is 1.5 inches

The back of the bag measures in length around 16.5 inches. The width of the bag is almost 9 inches if you measure in the center (sorry I didn't take a picture of it).

The front of the bag measures also 16.5 inches.

The width of the handle measures 1 inch.

The length of the strap measures around 24.5 inches.

If you measure the leather and the bales, it was measuring at 30 inches.

So the big question is do I recommend buying from Newbagfactory? The answer is yes and no. Yes as in they do have nice looking bags and better prices better than B&S and the quality is pretty good except for being too dry, which it can be fix over time with apple conditioner. No as in shopping for them is a hassle. It is true at the end they corrected the error and resend the bag to me, but if someone who is impatient and cannot wait, I wouldn't suggest them. (Personally, I would like my shopping experience to be happy and stress free. That is what shopping is all about- getting a great deal without losing your mind.) Their bag selection is not that big and if you want a particular color then it's a waiting game. Also the fact that I didn't like how they were sharing my personal information with other people. I don't think anyone would like to buy something online and there was some delivery problem and you mention it on a forum about your shopping experience, only to find out a total stranger contact the seller asking about your delivery status and if it was delivered to the correct address. That is crossing over the boundaries between seller and buyer agreement and privacy. Personally, I want to keep my privacy and will be shopping else where for my Balenciaga bags. Everyone who reads this does not have to agree with me. I am just posting my truthful review about my shopping experience.

The truth behind repchat and Newbagfactory.

2010-08-17T17:56:00.000-07:00

UPDATE ON A NEW BLOG. WWW.REPBAGSCHAT.BLOGSPOT.COM

It's funny how that phrase you keep hearing makes sense now. "Be careful of what you wish for, it might come truth". Repchat is turning into TFS. All the cattiness and bitchiness start slowly, but it will come sooner or later. What proof do I have? Let me first start off with the incident from buying a bag from Newbagfactory.

Around June 5, 2010, I contact NBF asking about their bag Vert D'eau part-time. This was my first purchase from Tom and Dom and I have no idea what to expect. I read on TFS that you could place bags on hold and when they have the leather they will make it. I check their status on ioffer and they have 99% approval ratings. I also read a lot of people on the fashion spot forum raving how their bags are soooo good and divine. I took a chance and placed an order and paid in full on June 8, 2010. Before I even paid I asked the boys, "How long will the bag be shipped?" Their answer was, "2-3 week". I said fine. If I knew it was longer I wouldn't have brought the bag at all. After three weeks had passed, I e-mail the boys asking about my bag and when will they give me a tracking number. My e-mail was left unanswered, so I email them again the second time in three days. Still no answer, I got frustrated and wrote on the repchat forum that the boys did not answer my e-mail at all. One of the members suggest contacting them on ioffer. So I did that and I was able to get them to answer me. T&D never got my e-mails and I said ok. I accept it and it turns out that there was a manufacturing problem with the product according to the boys. So I said fine at least now I know what is going on. The boys even offer to give me a free gift for waiting so long. I told them it wasn't necessary, but just send me my bag instead. A week passed by and I e-mail them about my bag again and they told me they sent it out already. They gave me a tracking number. For two days that tracking number did not work at all. I was angry knowing that the boys just gave me a tracking number to buy them time, so I wouldn't bug them. I e-mail them again asking them to be honest if they had sent out my bag. They told me that they did, they have no reason to lie and the tracking number should work that day at night. In other words, they never mailed out my bag and waited until I asked them about it, then they made the effect in mailing out my bag. So I waited and waited for that post office to deliver my bag. Only to find out online by checking the status that the bag was sent to Jamica, NY (I live in NYC). At this point, I was angry that I had waited this long and the boys wrote the wrong address. I wrote them a very angry e-mail asking them about my bag and how they have sent it to the wrong address. They didn't sound apologetic at all, but ask me to call the post office instead. I did call the post office which is useless. The post office would not release the package to anyone who doesn't have the correct address and it was up to T&D to do a corrective address form. I wrote an e-mail telling T&D what the post office had told me and they would double check the address and get back to me. I was upset that I waited this long only to find out that my package cannot be delivered because of a stupid address error. I wrote a long post on repchat forum discussing my dislike with T&D and my bad shopping experience with them. Instead of being open minded they attack me saying I was lying and I did not know what I was talking about. I even sent them a link showing that my package was shipped to Jamaica, NY. One member named Lunabe contact the boys about my delivery status and found out that the boys didn't write the wrong address and accused me of lying in order to get a free bag. Lunabe have no real evidence to accused me except an e-mail written from T&D, nor did she show the link to where my bag was being sent to. Not once did Lunabe wonder if the post office might had read the address wrong and sent it to the wrong address. Instead, she just blame the customers. This makes me more angry, having been accused and before I could even prove myself, the administrator took her side and just banned me without any proof except an e-mail of T&D saying that they wrote the correct address. For one thing, it is wrong of Lunabe to butt in and ask about my personal information without my permission. It is none of her business. She also wrote on the forum that she had the e-mail saying she has information of my correct address and willing to share with anyone who ask. At this point I was very upset that Lunabe would display that information to the public. What kind of person would do that? Anyone could get my information and committed fraud. I contact T&D asking if they share my personal information with that woman. They denied it. My question is how does Lunabe knew about my correct address? I never disclosed that information on the forum. T&D was the only other people that knew about it. Someone is lying. Most likely Lunabe and T&D exchange words about it. I am soooo angry with the cattiness and bitchiness from these women which makes me sick to my stomach. Instead of admitting that she was wrong, she edited the forum so that my post and others had been deleted, so there are no evidences. My question is, why deleted it? If you have nothing to hide or think you are right why erase it? Only people who knows they are wrong would hide things. This is another Rebecca Minkoff incident that happened on TFS. A group of women trying to hide or cover up bad experiences in order to protect their favorite seller.

Here is the real proof. My bag was sent to Jamica, NY. It was later on return to china as undeliverable.

My bag was not the only one who's bag was undeliverable because of the address. Please read a few links from the TFS.

Finally after almost three months and a lot of headache I got my Vert D'eau GSH part-time, which T&D resent the bag.

Am I writing this because I am bitter and I was banned and want revenge? No, I could careless about that. I would never waste my time on a forum that is one sided and just try to cover up things so they could look good. I am just upset with the administrator for taking sides and not hearing both side of the party. That forum has no democracy, only dictatorship. And one thing I hate most of all besides flaky people are people who call me a liar and have other people see me as that. Which I cannot stand for. I would do anything to show people the truth and protect my reputation. I have nothing to hide.

In the meantime, my search for an unbiased rep bag forum continues. A place where anyone could share their feelings about the different replica sellers and not be tear apart and looked down upon for voicing their opinion. When people are too afraid to voice their opinion how do you expect people to find a great seller? I have no choice but to do my reviews of my rep bags on this blog and share with anyone who wants to read my reviews on Joy, Catty, B&S, Jacky etc. Maybe one day when I do have enough people interested I would create my own forum and I could guarantee you I won't ban anyone or delete post without good reason just to save face. I hope that one day women could put aside their cattiness and bitchiness and work together to find the best rep bags in the world. Then again, I wouldn't hold my breath.
