  • 4/19/2021 - Inquired, Ordered, Paid
  • 4/20/2021 - PSPs received - greenlit immediately because I don’t QC at all, lol (waiting for 2 more bags)
  • 4/21/2021 - PSPs received for bag 2 from this order - greenlit immediately, see above…

  • 4/21/2021 - PSPs received for 3rd bag - which was the wrong bag.. (REJECTED the bag). I had asked for a creme and caramel Pochette Metis but received PSPs for a different pochette metis… at this point things got a bit CRAZY….

  • 4/21 I let Linda know that I really wanted the creme and caramel color scheme and that either version was fine with me (creme handle or caramel braided handle).
  • 4/22 Linda asks me to choose something else - I send pics of the LV Rose Des Vents in beige/small - she says she will check stock
  • 4/24 Linda says Rose Des Vents in beige/small is in stock and I pay an additional $72 for the Rose Des Vents
  • 4/25 I ask for PSPs and Linda replys “not so fast”
  • 4/27 I ask about PSPs and Linda replys “This is not in stock”
  • 4/28 I ask her to check for that bag in black either size (medium or small) or the medium size in creme… by this point I’m in love with this bag. She replys back that the small black is available and I immediately say I want it.
  • 4/29 Linda replys back with THREE CRYING EMOJIS 😭😭😭the factory only has orange in small…. ORANGE
  • 4/30 I say yes - get the Orange
  • 5/3 I inquired about PSPs and ordered some bags for gifts for a friend and some others for family…. this was a super smart move in the middle of mayday sales and a language barrier…… order to multiple addresses in multiple states all at the same time. It will work out perfect, lol. 👀
  • 5/4 received PSP’s of the Orange, greenlit, was told would ship today
  • 5/5 - 5/10 - Linda and I are both trying to figure out which bags went where - gave up, lol
  • 5/19 my bags arrived at my friends - she ships them to me same day.
  • 5/22/2021 I GOT THE BAGS!!!!!

Quality - Rating 10/10

No fufu smell, the leather is wonderful and soft and squishy like I love it and the bag smelled immediately of leather. The canvas feels exactly like it should and looks lovely. The hardware is the correct color and heavy. I’m very happy with all of the components of this bag and their quality.

Accuracy Rating 7.75/10

  1. Plaid canvas: The alignment is great of the plaid canvas is on point with the auth - but the red looks a little brighter on the rep than the auth from the website - this could totally be a lighting thing but I’m deducting .25 for it because now I’m annoyed.
  2. Bag Shape: The overall shape of the bag is correct - however the bag was smashed during transport. I have since had it stuffed but it still doesn’t sit correctly like the pics of the auth. deducting .25 again and getting more annoyed.
  3. Bag Measurements: The measurements of the auth from the website are 25 x 8.5 x 18cm. The measurements of the rep are 25 x 6 x 18 cm….. AHHHHHHHHHNOYING -1
  4. Strap - The only pics I can find online of this particular strap kindof hide the BURPERRY print, so I can’t really tell the difference here…. +5,000 to remain ignorant
  5. Strap Measurement: The measurements of the auth drop from the website are 38cm min and 59 max. The rep strap is 39cm min to 60 max - you’re welcome this took much effort…. -.25
  6. Hardware - All hardware works as is expected and feels correct. The font of the BURBERRY on the snap looks fatter than the font on the auth. -.50 as the snap is a focal point of the front of the bag.
  7. Stitching - no sloppy stitching and please feel free to count stitches if you want to lol - I’m not going to do it :\

Satisfaction - Rating10/10

Although I “went through it” while finding another bag - I don’t care - I do love it and will keep it and use it and call it George….

Seller Communication and Service - Rating 10/10

I feel like Linda went through it with me…..lol We’ve gone to war together and made it out the other side. I will continue to order from Linda and appreciate all her hard work.
