lovechihuahua, your bbag looks quite different from that of Luna's..IMO its smoother and not too much distressed..

I just got my friend's NBF B Bag -- It was delivered to my house because I've got a doorman -- naturally I opened it.

I have the second generation B Bag with goat skin but without the correct plate.

All of the hardware is the same -- zips, rings, attachments etc. except for the plate which now has the underscore.

The big difference is the leather. First it doesn't smell like mine did -- very chemical. I have read that this is sometimes done to fool dogs at customs who won't pick out the leather smell. Who knows. At any rate, I know from experience that the smell wil dissipate if left in the air.

The leather is quite different. They are both lovely but the new bag is much shinier and more distinctively crackled. The bag I got has a sheen and is distressed but in a softer way. I think both the bags are gorgeous but I thought the difference was interesting -- If I had the chance to pick one or the other, I really wouldn't have a preference so I am glad that I don't have to pick. I don't think my friend will believe my telling her that the bag is supposed to be THAT distressed.

The NBF bags (now TWO Spys, one Spy Hobo and 2 black B Bags are the best replica bags I've bought -- and would be beautiful bags if you just bought them in a department store for what they cost.

Don't understand your question - exluxury.com is the "official" site of LV and other of its brands while Francis Tse is a Chinese replica manufacturer who has agents that actually distribute and sell his replicas -- if in fact he Tse isn't a myth.

yes, it is alot less distressed then luna's.
I think it might be from the earlier batch, but the serial number and plates are correct. But the leather is still very soft, smells great and softly distressed, like how jujulabee described her b bag.

Perhaps it's an old bag with a new plate -- who says you can't teach an old bag new tricks.

I asked for a really distressed one.. maybe they gave me the most distressed of the batch...

kimair, they just got higher google ratings, but they are not "TSE" website, they just one of the resellers... Many on ioffer and other websites get their replicas through TSE.... HTH!

 

[jujulabee]

I just got an email from T&D regarding the finish on the new bag -- they had to run to a party in Shanghai but briefly dashed off something to the effect that they had worked with the tannery to get the finish and used a new finished cream -- maybe that's the smell?
