I am kind of a newbie when it comes to Chanels. Can anyone tell me if the 1112 is the medium classic flap?
 
here are two shots. one with the bag on my shoulder. im 5'6" for reference and the other i put my ugg infront of the bag for size reference
It looks great on you. The chain looks FIERCE.

Yes.

:lol: Thank you for noticing! The funny thing is I'm not even a KL fan, especially not his latest Chanel creations (clogs? :sick:). He's just my favorite pop culture icon & CHANEL symbol... I think I'm gonna try to be him for Halloween this year though :p.

So, this thread has been begging the question for awhile now... anyone ever post a rep on the "other" forum :innocent:? I've seen one faux Jumbo XL on the Chanel forum, posted by a blurry camera phone. And none of the experts interfered to scold, just praised it; it wasn't snuff to Jacky's either. The hardware was far too slim and it had that huge hideous sun in it! I could see a lot of the other repped labels being far more passable (i.e. LV etc.), just sayin'.

T&D is giving me the runarounds when questioning them about my middayGSH and purposely ignoring my questions on the raisin batch. Anyone got answers to when the raisins will be coming?

They told me last week that it was going to be ready in 2 weeks, but I doubt that.
 
xooey!! i just saw your photos of the chanels and they are AMAZING! can you post some mod shots of the caviar? (and the lambskin!)

also did you ask jacky to prep the bags in any way before he shipped them? and did you specially request a particular shape/features or did he just pick that one out for you? (sorry for all the questions!!)

Sure, will post mod shots of the bags some time next week.

I did not ask Jacky to stuff the bags or prepare them in any way. Honestly, I was so nervous in placing my first order that I forgot to ask him to stuff the bags, so it was a pleasant surprise that he stuffed all of them and packed them nicely.

Jacky picked out all the bags, I did not request for any particular shape/feature. I was quite nervous making the first order with Jacky because I'd read (in this thread) how curt he can be, so I just placed the orders and paid up, pronto.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To all who'd commented on the bags: Thanks! I love my bags too! If you're thinking of getting any of the Chanel bags from J, please do so! I couldn't be happier with the high quality of his Chanels. :D

i did with a balenciaga work one time in the "authenticate this" thread. ive been dying to with the chanel xl i just got from jacky. i use it as a useful tool to know what to look for in my next bag purchase :innocent:
 
WannebeMK,

While I've not posted an NBF or any other bag on the other forum, one of our members posted her NBF day and an auth. day. As I recall, she was trying to point out the differences between an auth. and an excellent rep.

Get this: the psychos accused her of being duped in that they thought the auth. day was a replica. I don't remember the details, but it was HEATED.

Can anyone chime in with better memories?

As a side note, the side seams on my fangfang NF D.A. create an angled seam where the squares turn into little triangles. Anyway, at first I freaked out, but after pouring over the snapshots of auth. NFs on the other forum, realized that none of the bags have a consistently lined-up side seam.

In other words, you might expect that the squares at the seam line up perfectly so it looks like one continuous piece of fabric, but not so. The auths have a wildly varying, non-consistent side seam alignment. I've seen them so that the same colors batch so it looks like there are rectangles, where the squares are correct widthwise but don't quite line up vertically, and where they are sewn at an angle like mine.

Makes me feel better. I've cinched the sides in and I really like the profile. The tote is great.

I've decided. In the far-reaching future, I would order an orange alligator clutch from OMAS. That's about as structured as I could go. The deciding factor was my mom.

As some of you know, she's a rockin' 83-yr.old cancer survivor and all-too-recent widow after 50 years of marriage. So today, I get home from work and she's calling for me...

"Honey, check this out!"

And she emerged from the hallway carrying her vintage tobacco alligator bag from the 1950s. OMG. Lined in caramel lambskin. So Grace Kelly.

Way to go, Mom!:flower:

the case was an auth white GGH day vs NBF vert deau GGH day. the member was very sure that it was an NBF bag (which was advertised as real when she bought it). and when she brought it in the other forum, they jumped all over her and say the WHITE is FAKe instead....whatever!

You should do et. What was the verdict of the first? I actually think I saw Jacky's XL go for $1,500k on eBay, but I couldn't exactly prove it. I suppose I could've inquired further. At the same time I feel consumers should be more savvy when purchasing "luxury" items and actually know the label.

That tFSer sounds gutsy. I agree that some of tPF members can get a little nutty, especially about reps, geeze.
Also, how was doing business with FangFang? I really like her, she's very nice and helpful although a bit hard on the wallet.
Your Mom sounds awesome :D!

Maybe its been asked a million times, but what does Jacky do with the authentics that he purchases? Any chance he sells them discounted :innocent:? After searching the old threads, I discovered that Jacky has a history of preferring the largest size of a bag. Why is this? I would've bought the PS1 by now if he had a few more colors and smaller sizes.

a reminder to please stay on topic and keep the discussion on the bags, not commenting on the other forum...
thank you...:flower:
 
sanitized i agree. i wish jacky would do smaller sizes of certain bags. maybe he thinks the larger ones are more popular, and easier to sell. although he DOES make mini flaps!? hopefully he makes the medium alexa :)
 
Hi, has anyone heard from nbf as to when the Marine will be shipped out? thanks :)
 
Just got an email from Jacky. He says he's making the "Grey" PS1 and only in one size. Anyone know if he means in suede or leather? Not that it matters, because besides his imperfect python (which he won't fix or discount :rolleyes:), I may have to pass on the PS1 although I have a brother who might love it, but for his books etc. which I don't know if it can support especially with inevitable, increasing abuse.

I was just chatting with T&D about the possibility of making Caramel, Camel, or Automne in the future, and it looks a little unlikely at the moment . :( Apparently they buy the coin purses in order to get the color swatch to give to the factory and there aren't any coin purses in Hong Kong being sold in these colors. So unless anyone here has a bag/wallet/anything in these colors and would be kind enough to lend to them, they won't be making these colors anytime soon... Booooo!!!

Three weeks ago they said to ship within a couple weeks. I just asked, and they said will ship them out next week. Cross fingers.....
