Rafaello Network
Hi everyone, I haven't posted for a few weeks. First - ON TOPIC - I am going to place my order with Jacky today (sending WU by the end of today). I am getting an LV Mono Speedy 30 (I know, totally boring, but I'm a classics kind of girl), a Gucci Guccissima Joy Boston bag (chocolate leather), LV Mahina wallet in Ivory, LV Trunks & Bags keychain in Pomme D'Amour, and an Hermes belt. I will post pic when they arrive. I'm kinda weird about the reps I buy. I have to have seen them IRL or at the very least on eluxury or the designers website. I was going to but an auth speedy, but I think I will wait until June. When I do, I will absolutely do a side by side comparison. Okay! I hope this isn't too OFF TOPIC - I was bored the other night (actually on TPF trying to find something), and had some really good chucks reading about their counterfeit quest. I read with amusement (took me over an hour and the thread was only two weeks old) about someone on ebay scaming people with fake Goyard bags. Go read it if you have nothing else going on. BTW, I am not a member of that site. They were talking about the Rafaello Network and I guess a lot of them get their bags there. I went on to that site. IMO I'm on the fence as to its legitimacy. I went on to gucci.com. The boston bag I am getting (from J) is $1095, on Rafaello it is $1039. Wouldn't you just get it from the actual designer's website for $56 more? I mean c'mon, you're spending a thousand dollars! Or if you're a brainiac like me, get the EXACT bag from Jacky for $77!!! Rafaello also had a small version of this boston which is nowhere to be seen on the official gucci site. Does anyone who frequents Jacky's site remember a week or so back when in the coming soon page, he had pictures of a new gucci bag, and it was one photo with many smaller shots inside the big picture? Those are used on some of the bags on the Rafaello page. They have a Gucci Guccissima Medium Web shoulder bag listed for $919.00. On Gucci.com this bag is $750 Hmmmm. Anyways,what do you all think? I just thought it was kind of strange. The large size of the Web is on pre-order form Gucci, shipping between April 1-May 1, so if it pops up on Rafaello I may flip my lid. On another note, I am really digging the Gucci "New Jackie" bag and I hope someone does it soon as well as the Joy boston in the off-white colour. Also really into the Prada Deerskin tote Jacky has, but spring is coming (hopefully) and it might be too heavy if you know what I mean for spring/summer. I guess I could get it and save it to use in the fall? I hope my mahina wallet is nice and soft, it's my first piece of that line and everyone here seems to think Jacky's are great. This will be my second guccissima leather bag from him so I already know it will be fab. Okay, sorry this is such a long one. Sorry MODS if this should be in a different thread.
