Chupi: i will definitely post a review of the scarf when i receive it

bakedbean: we're getting the same Chanel bag! you have good taste i'm interested to see what the differences are between Jacky's and Catty's 1112. please post a review when you get it

baglovinequine: could you explain what you mean by the colorways being off? i'm getting a black and white one, does that change anything?

 

[shopholic]

Thank you so much mm07! The zip code T&D sent to is so far away from where I am. I told them I don't even know which post office in that zip code has my bag. Guess what they told me -- there is nothing they could do, and tell me to call the head office.

I am going to Google the post office to give it try. My past experience of calling post office is failed -- only recording. If I cannot get hold with the package, it will be returned since the package has been failed to deliver for 10 days.

 

[Chupi]

baglovinequine: Thank you! I own an auth, as a tribute to a great designer, but am so paranoid about it I wanted to get a rep or two for abusive wear

xooey: I think he means the pics are of his actual rep, not the original. Have you tried leather revive? It did wonders for my bbags and my black Alexa is super slouchy now having been a bit stiff at first

oh thanks bagalicious but all i can find in this thread is people buying from these sellers but not the place to buy , besides the fact that this is a very long thread to do some research (its number 7) however i tried to look for some info but I didnt find anything that takes me to the sellers. Im asking for some sympathy please where could i find them and their stuff? Thats my question, where could I see what they sell please? I didnt mean to bother you, i apologise. But again Id appreciate anyone giving me a link to jacky or catty by PM. Thanks a lot.

First of all, the very first post of ALL 7 threads says not to post asking for seller info... It's grounds for post deletion. Also, WE all use the search function and that's how we get info too. It's slightly unfair to show up out of nowhere and expect to be catered to when we ourselves are willing to put in the work it sometimes takes to get info on a bag or seller (T&D are ridiculously easy to find since they are on ioffer). It's also a lot easier if you'll ask about specific bags you're looking for and then we can give you feedback if we have knowledge of that bag.

I have the feeling though that you're just after URLs and not information on actual bags? If you end up actually purchasing anything, please do come back and make a contribution by posting your review or some pictures.

xooey: I agree with Chupi. Jacky is saying they're "actual pics" of HIS bag. I've been ordering from him for years and he can be very hard to decode but I know what he means most of the time now.

Chupi: Your Alexa looks gorgeous! Thanks for the info on leather revive!

I'm in love with Jacky's peony Hayden!! Does anyone have it? It's hard to compare the color to the auth from Jacky's pics (they're a little shadowy).

Welcome all newbies

This is a not-so gentle reminder to our newest little bagsters that yes, as babybluestar pointed out, a condition of posting here is that you not just waltz in and ask for urls without contributing. Since I had to post this reminder less than two weeks ago, it's pretty clear that certain new members aren't even reading back that far.

What is contributing? offering your findings about a bag, answering questions that others post, etc. Contributing does NOT mean you're posting endless empty posts on how pretty a bag is.

Those of us who have been around awhile have read every--yes every--post in this ioffer thread. Don't expect to be spoonfed. We weren't.

Just the rules of the game, ladies. Please play by the rules. Thank you for your time. Now back to our program.

Soooooo, I just placed an order with Jacky

I am incredibly estatic and can't wait to review the items I receive. For anyone who cares, I ended up canceling my order with Joy and ordering the same exact stuff from Jacky. It ended up being significantly cheaper-- I just hope the quality isn't reflected in the cheaper overall price. Joy refused to send me pictures of the exact items I'd be receiving unless I paid first, which didn't make much sense to me.

Once I receive this order I plan on placing another Jacky order immediately. I didn't want to order all the items together so the package wouldn't be ginormous-- so I broke them up into two orders. Geesh, I want so much stuff

Jacky said the regular Alexa in the nude color WITHOUT the snakeskin will be ready in about 12 days. Any opinions on whether I should get the nude Alexa with snakeskin or without? I'm torn

 

[Mignonne]

I've one question...I know catty but I don't know Jacky....so can everybody give me the adresse from him please. thanks

 

[amethyst_sparkle]

Well said, BBS!! And thank you SMKelly for setting the record straight!

Orchidian - hi doll!! you HAFTA get the snakeskin nude! after seeing BBS's incredible pics of hers, I was smitten and ordered it the next day! it should be here in a few days and I CANT WAIT I'm IN with BBS's!!! It can be worn so many different ways and is sooooo ultra sexy and sophisticated. Snakeskin and plonge lambskin all the way!!!!!!!!

 

[Chupi]

Chupi: Your Alexa looks gorgeous! Thanks for the info on leather revive!

Very welcome It is a gorgeous bag, I pulled it out and have been marvelling at how great it's going to be for Autumn

Orchidian: The only thing is: is the nude bag of Jacky's a frankenbag? Mulberry don't have a plain nude bag listed on their site, just one that looks very similar in something called 'powder tweed'. I'm not sure if I'd care but just in case

 

[Mignonne]

someone can give me the adresse of Jacky...Please :=)

 

[babybluestar]

orchidian: I think you'll be really happy with your purchases from Jacky! Amazingly, he has fantastic prices AND fantastic quality. The lower price doesn't mean lower quality! In fact, many of the websites that charge $250+ for their bags order from him and then jack up the price! We are fortunate enough to have direct access to him to cut out the middle man fees!! And I gotta agree with ame_sparkle, go for the nude snakeskin! The plain nude is buffalo leather (which is thicker and more sturdy than lambskin). I think the oak and black look gorgeous in buffalo but the nude looks better in the more delicate (and inredibly soft and silky) plonge lambskin!! Either way, since nude is so light, it will show marks and wear easily, but I feel like the snakeskin edging gives it some protection at least... I can't wait for your reviews!! I hope you love everything! Jacky really is the man for reps.

BBS and SMKelly well said

BBS the peony hayden is beautiful, I want it too but I have the oak one! I do know Jacky had the authentic peony hayden, and someone here had bought it from him So I'm hoping it's exactly like the auth- colorwise and everything

Orchidian did you get the peony hayden??!! I'm guessing you got the LV boetie, speedy, what else!?

 

[chicadee]

bakedbean - you'll be very happy with j's LV SC. i have it and think it's very close to auth. it's very well made.

xooey - j's pic is of the rep, not the auth based on my previous conversations with him

chupi - hot damn! your black OS alexa looks amazing!!! look how slouchy that baby is! how often do you use her? did the leather revive smell go away with wear? that's my only concern..is the strong smell

 

[baby_yorkie]

i've always love LV denim but very hard to find a good one. LV released the new line in spring and i LOVE them all so i went ahead and bought from my fav. seller, jacky. the denim is thich and the logos are raised. the fading is very cool too. lots of vachetta, i cant wait to make them darker. pics are in the picture thread

 

[Chupi]

Thanks Chicadee

I leather revived her once, and my god the smell was yuck but I aired it out for about a week (weirdly enough the smell has lingered differently on all my different bags, the Alexa repelled it super quick compared to others) and have only used my alexa for maybe 10 days altogether but it's broken in beautifully kudos Jacky!

 

[xooey]

Chupi, thanks for the tip. I have yet to get Leather Revive but I will now. I love how slouchy the leather on your bag has become!

Orchidian, definitely get the nude Alexa with python trim! You will not regret it.

Thanks for giving me feedback about J's pics. He's like the Soup Nazi to me ... I'm scared of irritating him with too many questions and getting banned from buying from him or something. :x

 

[DiorKiss]

Oh my gosh, just submitted my big jackie order for this year - fingers crossed, all will arrive as described! so I got:
*The new Gucci Jackie in Light Brown (eyeing this one for about a year, but haven't heard any reviews on it here....)
*LV SC bag in Cobalt (tried the real one on in the LV boutique and it was bea-u-ti-ful - hope jackys doesn't dissapoint!)
*YSL black patent clutch (looks very cute)
*LV speedy 30 (wanted one for ages - but will be looking for tips to patina the handles very fast)
*Chanel 1112 caviar with silver hardware - this one is the wild card! Im not a huge fan of the original 2.55, coz I love the re-issue - Jacky refuses to do the patent re-issue with gold hardware - my HG bag. It looks cute though so hopefully it will work out!

I will post reviews of all the above when I receive them - hopefully I will look nice and trim in the photos from the lack of food due to bag expenditure.....

Ooh I'm going to get a Speedy too bakedbean! I got Jacky's new URL today and since I have been lusting over that bag for years and years I'm finally going to take the plunge. I'm just a little nervous about my location, I live in the Netherlands with nasty customs so I'm keeping my order small! One bag at a time. What kinds of tips for quick patina did you come across?
Great order by the way, I'm already jealous of your Chanel! I think I might need one too later this year, I'm gonna have to choose between a Chanel and a Bal.

Sorry to hear that and I'm shocked too. I can't believe they said there's nothing they could do?? It seems like T&D have great customer service from all the reviews I've read?? For my last order, they got the number on my street address wrong. It was strange because I was tracking the order and it was taking SO long to deliver. I ended up calling the carrier found out the address was incorrect so I had them correct it.

Good luck I hope you're able to get a hold of your bag.

i'm getting the PS1 from jacky but i've yet to decide on the color.
should i go for black or tan?
also, any reviews?

jacky's black leather PS1 is a perfect match to the auth - in the medium PS1 as well as the PS1 clutch.

Just remember to get your screws tightened & secured by a cobbler before you use it....

I am curious about his tan/nude PS1....

T&D sent my Vert d'Eau RH City, (I guess from 2nd batch)....the leather was so nice on my RH Ver d'Eau First, thinking of getting a RH Day.....
