Hi, has anyone ever bought a bag from luxurynavi? thanks

 

[littleblacksheep]

Yay! My FC landed in the country yesterday! This will be my first with GSH (Anthra). Really hope it arrives on my desk today...

I haven't ordered from them before but I've seen their site. They have been around a while. Their bags are way overpriced IMO. You can get the same stock from others sellers for much less $'s. B)

I FINALLY HAVE MY TRACKING NUMBER!!!!!!!! It's no longer just a dream, I will soon have my new beauties!! And thanks everyone for the comments on my Mom getting a bag!

PinkPrincess: I think you're right! I'll be wanting to borrow my Mom's black beauty!! Btw, I think if you've used your black RH City to death and you still love it 2 yrs later, it's totally understandable to get a replacement with this new batch!! The leather is so much better so think of it as an upgrade!

Amyiish: I also want the Miu Miu Bow. I feel like no one was super happy with theirs though? I think that bag is the perfect brown bag. It looks great in black too but I don't need a black bag ATM I do hope Jacky's is great and I'd go with him for that bag as well since there have been good reviews on it. I was going to get it but the brown was sold out. Which color are you getting? And regarding if Jacky and Catty get their Coco Duffel from the same factory...I'd ask Catty. She'll tell you flat out (I doubt Jacky would be so forthcoming ). Good luck!

MaLena: I also hope the leather on my Mom's bag is jet black, matte and thick. It's going to be from this latest batch though so I'm sure it will be (and the one for your friend too)!

So, you're planning to get an auth Miu Miu bow? Did you feel like Jacky's wasn't close enough to auth? That's the type of bag I'd be willing to pay auth price for too. If there's not a rep of incredible quality, buying auth makes sense. I'd love to get feedback on the quality of Jacky's though!! Oh! And thank you so much for being willing to post pics of your auth Damier Speedy! I decided not to get it right now, but I'd still love to see any pics of the bag if they're not a pain to take/post (I know you've got your hands full right now)!

sanitizedfashion: Do you mind if I ask why you think Jacky's Vintage XL isn't structured? I have it and the base is flat and sturdy and the sides fold in. I stuff it every time I store it so it's held it's shape really well. Also, mine does NOT have a sunshine! The stamp has little dashes but they're so small that I strain my eyes to look at it. There is NO way someone passing on the street (or even looking up close) would be able to tell. Mine is stamped "Made in France" and I know most of the other girls who have the same bag have "Made in Italy" on their's so maybe mine is different and that's why I don't have the sun on mine... Regardless of these things though, ITA agree with chelsea2901. If the minor details matter THAT much to you, then you're likely to be frustrated by the vast majority of reps. Are you willing to have a very high quality bag that's 98% like the auth and a mere fraction of the price of the auth version? Or is that 2% that's off going to drive you nuts and be on your mind every time you carry the bag?? If it's the latter, I think you'd be happier getting auths. IMO, what we buy ARE the HG reps. There aren't better Bbags than T&D's, there's no Chanel closer to auth than Jacky's and my LV Mahina would pass for auth even if I took it in the boutique! I am thrilled with my bags because I'm getting something beautiful and high quality for a great price. I get the luxury (and yes, the designer label) without actually having to pay for it. It's like cheating the system. But it's not for everybody. If the small details are too much for you to overlook, then I suggest you go to a Chanel boutique and get the real deal for $2.000+. And though no one wants to say it, I'll be the b**** and put it out there, when someone comes on this thread and asks such detailed questions about very specific ways to tell if a bag is good enough to pass as auth, it's raises a red flag. We don't want anyone using us and our knowledge to re-sell reps as authentic and rip people off.

What are the beauties you are expecting (from T&D?)? I hope you get them tomorrow! Please, please do post pics if you can. I am d.y.i.n.g to see pics of the latest batch of Black RH City.

PS: You're getting the Black RH City for your mum, right? Very hip mum you have there! I'd thought of passing my Black GGH City to my mum and get a new one for myself, but it might be too flashy and trendy for her liking.

 

[giggetta]

I never thought that a FC can be used like a make up bag.. but it's a really good way to use it!! great idea baglicious

 

[madmurderermud]

dangermouse: I think we will get a red sometime in 2010.
Here is to hoping!

Just to let those who didnt know, there will be a red coming out in 2010
I just saw the color preview at TPF. I think I am quite slow

pics from TPF

I hope that T&D are making Outmerer / Papete and Sang for you ladies

 

[bagalicious]

Never bought a chanel auth or rep so I have no idea what all those details are..chanel speak is like a foreign language to me
NBF Are the best when it comes to rep Bals. period
fangfang!-i thought you were teasing us dangermouse with that(thought it was a vampire or something) until i went to take a look, pics look good, But yeah very pricey. Crazy C No more teasing Dangermouse with a Rubisse...play nice
Bag care I use Leather care/conditioner by Apple brand on my nbf's and leather CPR on most of my others and I have leather wipes from Weiman that i keep on hand to give them a once over if they need a quickie.

Can't wait to see all the new bags..BBS hope yours arrive ASAP
Please post your bags..."modeling shots"..I love to live vicariously thru you all
I want T&D to announce the new colors already....And wheres my AMEYTHST!!!!!!

 

[bagalicious]

When ever I receive a rep that is not satisfactory to me i give it to my mother in law, she plays marghong every week and takes a new "chloe..bal...ysl" to the card game, all her friends think she is very hip and stylish!
My father in law fancies himself as a "watch strap designer" so he gets the old bags and doozies and he cuts yards of LV canvas + un desireable leather up into watchstraps, patches and cat toys...it's very cute and exciting to see what my 86 year old father in law and my 76 year old mother in law will do with the next haul of crapola...um i mean unwanted bags
I gave my father in law an old non NBF bal to cut up and make a cuff..lets see what he does with it...

 

[piperbelle]

I had a look at the fangfang bags, and the LVs aren't particularly impressive. Right off the bat I noticed flaws with the Tivoli PM and Galliera PM. The Monogram Speedy 30 looks pretty nice, though. As has already been mentioned, pretty well all reps have little flaws that make them maybe 98% mirror, but at ff's prices, I would expect a little bit more.

 

[MissDaisyChain]

i havelike 30 pages to catch uponbut i dont care cause my ALEXANDER WANG COCO DUFFEL JUST TOUCHED DOWN!!! WOOHOO im currently fondling the leather i'll take pics assoon as my adrenaline levels go down! eeeeeee!

I heard the bag was heavy, is it uncomfortably bad? Who'd you order from, Jacky or Catty? Can you take some modeling pictures?
Sorry for all the requests, I'm ordering a Diego from Jacky and am considering the duffel as well!

@babybluestar I think that strange, indirect accusation was a bit uncalled for . As I've said earlier, in terms of CHANEL, I want a bag that resembles my authentic closely. I'm not as concerned with the hologram etc. because the bag would just be for personal use. However, a sunshine in hardware would KILL me! Also, do you think that if I was specific with Jacky I could get the one you have, maybe?

@MissDaisyChain Who'd you get your coco from and I can't wait to see pictures! I am very much considering it, but three pounds empty is a little heavy.

Re: fangfang

How rare of a seller like fangfang to get the Bal bales right though (at least on the one Black City RH listed)! Cool.

ETA: Only RH ones!

sanitizedfashion-

my jumbo xl from jacky does not have the 'sunshine' thing on the right side of the cc's. It does have some sort of stamp that I cannot make out even with my magnifying glass-but it's definitely not sunshine.

mine says 'made in france'.

just so you have an idea of the shape and proportion of the XL, here's a pic

^This is yours from Jacky? Is it a tiny square by chance?

Thanks.

 

[chelsea2901]

Yes from jacky, and I can't make out what it is, even with my magnifying glass. But it's definitely not sunshine-I never even noticed there was a mark on it till someone here pointed it out

 

[PinkPrincess113]
