I wear my mini flap for nights outs, it holds my wallet, keys, cell and some receipts. You can wear it single or double chain too..

Thanks! I decided to get the M/L Flap instead... It's small enough for evening but still holds a lot. I'm thinking of splurging on one from Fang but I'm going to wait till closer to Christmas since her prices are so high.

Is there a way to block members who are repeatedly PM'ing asking for Jacky's site? I'm being inundated with PMs and it's bothersome. I don't share his information.... He gets shut down too often and I don't know who rats him out but it could be anyone. If you're serious about ordering from him, email him the items you want and ask for prices.

 

[lucy92]

there is no way to block members from making inquiries of that nature - unless you opt to block ALL PM's.

no members are under any obligation to respond to such messages.

members who fail to comply with thread rules (ie ignoring the rules in post #1) may be subject to reminders and warnings and put their entire TFS account in jeopardy.

so everyone please follow the rules in post 1#.

Does anyone have an opinion on Jacky's Chanel WOC? I would love a little bag I can sling over my shoulder for nights out and dancing. So many nighttime bags are clutches and I need something I can wear, not hold. Any suggestions? I love the Celine Box but it's not quite dressy enough.

Last year I bought his Chanel Quilted Shoulder Flap 2917B Black Caviar w/Silver and I have yet to wear it. Think of it as a tiny square box on a chain. The bag is not quite right. So far, my fave has been the Chanel Quilted Flap bag 1112 Black lambskin W/Silver. It is spot on perfect. Hope that helps.

haven't being buying any bags for a long time but I recently bought AW kirsten satchel from taobao. It looks very well made and I couldn't find any noticeable differences between it and the real thing.

The suede material of the bag is like a dust absorber and the bag stinks really badly and even though I air it out but still can't get the stink out.

I still can't figure out the whole taobao thing. Its so freaking confusing...is there a taobao thread or taobao for dummies or something that you guys can refer me to??

I find it confusing too. I know someone mentioned using Taobao English and using Choobuy. But how do you decide which seller to buy from in the first place?

 

[sanitizedfashion]

Any word on TaobaoEnglish orders? I've had them stock check for me, but I'm waiting for a review before I pull that trigger; just to verify their credibility.

Nice AWang Alasse! He has so many great repped bags.

I usually order my taobao stuff through a group order or through a friend (she does taobao ordering services) so I can't comment on using an agent. Personally, I won't buy from any store whose rating is less than 4 diamonds, more information at the link http://hellolace.net/shopping/taobao-guide

I have not heard of TaoBaoEnglish but there are other agents that i have seen good reviews.

The livejournal community that I usually go has a section on taobao. There are some reviews on taobao agents there.

Thanks Alasse this is good information! I don't know if its allowed but if anyone had a positive experience with a specific Taobao agent can you let me know either here or in pm? Thanks!

Can anyone recc a good seller for the Chanel Boy? The smooth model from last season, not the quilted ones.

Hey babybluestar! its been forever since i've been on tfs last...just trying to catch up with the threads and get up to speed on who's in and who's out in rep land...did i read correctly that you're a mommy now??? Yippeeee and Congrats dearie!

 

[ZenEssence]

I believe whomever is acting as Catty, is a liar. They have been lying quite frequently lately. I won't go into details because I recently had a bad experience with getting a shipment...still haven't received. I'm only being told lies!

I've surprisingly gotten Catty to act as my Taobao agent in the past (huge commission on her part, however ), these days she's either lying about stores with no stock or she's just hesitant to do it. In any case, I've already placed an order with TaobaoEnglish! I'll let all know it goes, :crosses fingers:

I think it would be allowed since we're allowed to mention ioffer sellers by name, right?

Hi! Good to "see" you! I am a mommy. I have been since before I joined tfs but now I'm mommy to a couple more than before.

I for one would like you to share because I think it benefits everyone. I know you wouldn't bad mouth Catty.....but sharing what's going on if she's being dishonest is helpful to us all and hopefully we can help you too. I just purchased from her and received my bag 5 days later, but if she ripping others off, I want to be aware. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this and I hope you get your order.

I will let you in on a lil secret...she gave me your tracking number to make me believe that a package I was expecting that's still in customs from the 11th of April, was the resent package to me! She lied, and said the package ended up in the UK to another customer

She was avoiding to resend the package, and now I just got another tracking number that is supposed to be the resent package. Supposedly, it was resent twice, I think not!!

And for the record, no I wouldn't bad mouth her...something weird is going on with her or the mysterious "partner".

Oh man, if Catty has gone bad then that's it for me...she's the last contact I have. My last order with her was back in March I think and it went fine. I can't keep up with J's changing websites and he's pissed me off because I've spent crazy $ with him in the past and he doesn't even bother to update his clients when he changes his sites. Fang is good for some stuff but the prices are a bit over the top...I truly hope that there is some mistake and Catty is still honest or I'll have to simply give up on reps altogether...

I have no words. Have you filed with Paypal?

Joy is great! She is honest to a fault and has great LV. I love Jacky but he honestly has so few bags these days and the ones he has, good or bad, sell out immediately. I think some people must just think anything he has is good and they don't do their homework on how good of a rep it actually is... I've seen some off bags sell out the day they come in.

What does 5 hearts indicate? Is that a better rating than diamonds?

I'm sorry to hear that Catty's gone down hill... I haven't ordered from her in a very long time, however, with sites like Taobao, why go through a secondhand seller with huge markups anyway?

The ratings on Taobao go in this order (from worst to best

1 2 3 4 5 Red Hearts
1 2 3 4 5 Blue Diamonds
1 2 3 4 5 Blue Crowns
1 2 3 4 5 Gold Crowns

Personally I've bought from sellers who have anything between 5 hearts and 3 blue crowns and all have been fine. I've never seen a seller with gold crowns so they must be fairly rare. Just because a seller has hearts doesn't mean they're bad, they could just be new to taobao. You can try translating the feedback if you want a better idea.

All in all, pretty much anything with diamonds or crowns and you'll be fine is the general rule!
