Has anyone ordered a Velo in Vert D'eau?

eskielvr: Your Sorbet pieces are lovely. I am hoping for a Folk bag in Sorbet and Blue Roi. I will take a day bag in Anthracite with GSH.

 

[thesiren]

coco - are we positive the boys are making the folk in bleu roi? the last i spoke to them, they said it was a no and they were only doing black, anthra and maybe noix (or some brown, but i forget which one)?

i want a sorbet giant money so badly. i wish they would do a few bright wallets versus the black and anthra.

thesiren: I don't know that the boys are doing the Folk bag in blue roi but I know that I want it in blue roi. As I sent my bag to them and they are copying it for me I would hope that they would make it in the colors that I want. I will write to them and see. In all honesty I love my Folk bag way more than my velo and would like to have it in many colors.

[Do u love it ?]

was wondering i u guys can help me out... who does better chanel's.. jacky or catty, i have one chanel from jacky and its quite good!! what do u guys think?

 

[boinquo]

I've purchased Chanel flaps from both jacky and catty, and I don't think any of them are spot-on. Jacky has had the better ones for a while, but now Catty has been producing some very very good ones. However, she can be 1.5-2 times as expensive as jacky. What I like about Catty's stuff now is that she has flat/wider CC hardware, and that she is getting the flap structure closer. I think Jacky's flaps are inconsistent in their structure and they just seem off. Maybe someone else can vouch for him but I wouldn't buy a flap from him right now, I'd rather wait to get one of Catty's newer flaps.

You should also try and search these ioffer threads to pick up on conversations. If you could talk about a particular bag, it would be easier to discuss too. I've purchased a lot of Chanel from both of them and have a flap from Fang Fang too.

 

[Do u love it ?]

^^ thanks for the insight !! im talking about the chanel classic flap bags, ur quite right about jacky being inconsidtent in the structure but over all it is a good bag, i want to try out catty, can u please PM her website xxx

I just bought one caviar flap from Jacky. I have not compared the leather with the auth yet. The metal chain if you feel it can be rough in some area. I am sure the auth is smoothly cut. The other complaint I have is that the sides are not flat and have to be manipulated with clips to keep its shape. Other than than the bag is great.
I also have another Chanel Jumbo Chevron flap with Patent leather from Jacky. I have not worn this yet. The problem with this bag is that when he packaged it, the bag was smooshed between the other bags. this makes the surface looked "wrinkled" I guess, I don't know what words to describe this. But this looks visible and is a dead giveaway this is a fake. I hope the puffiness will go back to normal eventually with time.
I bought also a Chanel edgy large tote from Jacky. I really do not recommend this one. The leather is shiny and rough. It kinda has that sandy feeling to it. It has wrinkles all over the place no matter what I do to it. Catty has the same bag and hers look really good on the picture. The leather looks more believable on Catty website.
I'm planning to purchase Catty's dark silver metallic flap maybe in the next few weeks.

Has anyone else purchased the LV Monogram Pochette Cosmetique from Jacky or Joy? If so, does yours have a serial number on the inside?

I'm trying to do my own investigative analysis of whether Jacky and Joy have the same LV supplier. I really want to get to the bottom of this so that I can rest assured I should always go with Jacky cause his prices are cheaper B)

[HandbagDiva]

perfect! you won't miss out for sure. anthra is a very popular color (this is their fourth run) and even though I have three anthras already, I'll be getting a rh city from this batch too--bag twins! excellent choice for your first NBF

Yay! My first bag twin! Cheers!!

Now you've got me thinking that I need to order something else...!
Ack!

T & D and I made contact! It's a go so far!!

moobasgirl: thanks!

Bye all...see you soon!!

Finally taking the plunge (after years of wanting to buy this bag) and buying the cerf tote from Jacky, though I am a little worried about the structure of the bag being too soft.

Catty's look off to me for some reason.

Anyone have opinions?

 

[ShoestringTravel]

I'm trying to see the difference between anthra and black, and am I correct in that anthra is just a very, very dark grey with possibly a blue or green undertone depending on the year? I've done searches on here, and scrutinized photos on here and the 'other' forum, and I'm having a really hard time seeing the difference!

I'm trying to decide whether or not to get an EC in GGH in anthra or in black.....

Jacky's cerf is great. I have the black with silver hardware. I've also been wanting this bag for years but the retail price is just too much especially with the recent price hikes. If you're worried about the slouch factor of the leather, I wouldn't. I have seen and held the auth Cerf many times as my mom has it. The auth does slouch (alot) especially after a few uses. The stitching is great too and it's great you don't have to worry about alignment which is an issue with the many quilted 2.55/jumbos. When I'm not using it I stuff it to help retain its shape. Umm I've seen pics of Catty's cerf on her website and you're right it definitely looks more than just off. Hope that helps.

Boinquo, I your avatar. Wow, you bought of one Fang's flaps. Which one? Can you share details/review or even better pics? I haven't seen pics of Fang's Chanels on here yet. I've been eying them for months and have been patiently awaiting reviews. Thanks!

i bought the pochette for my sister (we're talking about the half-moon shape cosmetics bag, correct?) and the pull immediately fell off. she used it maybe two weeks. the materials feel sturdy, but it looks like the loop wasn't closed tight enough to keep the pull on. this could have been an isolated incident or it could be how they all are. ours was from jacky.

outside of this, all of the LV mono, damier or epi i've ordered from jacky has been virtually flawless, so i would recommend going with him for LV. his prices are cheaper and his quality is more consistent, in my experience as a buyer and a member of this forum.

luna didn't you have the cerf tote a long time ago and then sell it on bagswap? i thought this was you because it was the first time i ever saw irl photos of jacky's cerf. every cerf i've seen from jacky has had the same issue, which is exactly what you mentioned. the body of the bag is far too soft and doesn't stand up on its own. sometimes the handles also look thin (though i have seen some with good handles).

i am mad about this bag and have been for ages, but the reps simply don't hold a candle to the real deal (or the ones i've seen anyway). catty's is terrible, so good call there, but i wouldn't hold my breath for jacky's to pass the test either. the auth isn't completely structured, but it definitely stands up on its own sans anything inside.

shoestring - anthra is a strange color to describe and yes, it depends on the year. they can be a ridiculously dark bottle green with a hint of blue or a very deep blue/dusty dark gray. i wouldn't really describe it as a starter color, but it is very versatile. i have an anthra club and use it like crazy because the color seems to work with almost anything. the club has RH, so it looks more neutral, whereas the SGH on your EC will bring out the blue or green (whichever that batch has) undertones since SGH is so cool.

 

[Luna]

^^ Thanks for the opinions.

No, I never did buy the cerf.

Noted on the structure issue, maybe a purseket would help with the structure a little.... hmmmmmmm

 

[boinquo]

Orchidian - I have Jacky's LV Mono Pochette and it has a serial number. PM me if you want it. The quality is excellent and I own auth LV Mono. If they do end up having the same supplier…I'll never buy LV from Catty again lol.

crystal7 - The LEATHER on my FangFang bag is excellent. The clasp, and pillowing are really good. The leather is just really good it looks moist and supple. Hardware is so much better than J's, which is one reason why I may get rid of the caviar jumbo I have from him. The sides, however, on the flap, are not pouffy, but they still need clips to stay flat That's the big downside. However, leather and quality of hardware are great.

Luna - I had Catty's serf toe first and it was crooked and the leather never got the wrinkles out. Now I have Jacky's and I'm very very happy. I've taken this bag to a Chanel boutique (!) and they are good. The slouch factor is not a huge deal imho after a while. You can see various pics on the other forum of them softening with wear. At first what I didn't like were the handles being too short/round but I weighed the bag with some books and now it's great.
