Review Chanel Medium Classic Flap CF 25cm - S Factory - NTS Annie

I have been searching for a reasonably priced CF that has high quality leather and pretty accurate. I have not fried 187 or God Factory for CF yet, but I used to have 25 series CF before I sold it (and purchased 18 reps with the money). I also visit the boutique very often because I work walking distance from it. No need for me to search any more. The leather on this is..shockingly luxurious, soft, plush, everything you want lambskin to be. I can’t believe a $323 bag can be this high quality, i really can’t.

Disclosure - I received Annie’s 15% discount. She actually did not ask me to write any reviews. She is a new seller on RepLadies so I am happy to write a review for her because she has been a very good seller to me.

Quality - 9.9/10

The leather on this bag is so beautiful, soft, velvety, squishy…I can’t stop touching it. It feels 95% to the real thing. The real thing is just 5% more velvety? I am still in shock about this.

The bag is a nice weight. Chain feels hefty, just slightly lighter than the real one (-.1). The chain had 1 kink which I fixed in less than 5 seconds.

The hardware is beautiful and good quality.

No fufu smell, no luxurious leather smell yet.

Accuracy - 9.45/10 compared to authentic

Chain Drop - it is 1 inch longer than the real one when doubled up, 1.5 inches longer when single chain.

Puffiness - I do love how puffy this bag is. Some people don’t like too puffy but it does flatten out over the years. I wish the bag would stay this puffy forever because the feeling of pressing down on the puffs is sooo satisfying.

Chain - it is heavy but if I can remember correctly it is just a little lighter than the authentic? (-.1) but looks very good and the width is good. The chain is a SQUEAKER like it squeaks when I’m just holding the chain in my hand. I am in the process of doing coats of honey leather on it to stop the squeaking.

Dimension - 10*6*3, on par with authentic. Some of the reps I see are too thin, but this one is perfect.

No alignment issues. 9 stitches per side. Upper corners of back pocket are missing diagnol stitch but this is something no person would see.

Color - Black, it might be the slightest less black as the original.

Hardware color - silver, hard to mess this up.

Turnlock shape is slightly longer than original, like a longer cylinder if this makes sense (-.1). Turnlock makes a clicking sound which I do not remember in the original.

Back pocket - this is perfectly aligned to me. It matches the authentic 100%. The dip of the smile looks good, it might be 1 inch too dipped compared to some auths but I see some auths with the same dip.

Zipper - very smooth no issues here

Plate - the 2 screws are parallel, so I will turn it slightly because authentic usually are not parallel. Font on this plate looks accurate. The font on the plate is a little wider than the original (-.1)

Stamping - The stamping inside is too bold (-.25)

Satisfaction - 10/10

I don’t think I need to try 187 or GF anymore. I do have a 187 coming, lord knows when. The leather feels so good, and the accuracy is not 100% but 95% is good enough to me. I can’t wait for the leather smell to come out, then I will love this even more.

Seller - 10/10

This is my 2nd purchase with Annie and she did a great job again. She types in perfect English. I received this bag 9 days after I paid her, that is incredible. She knew what S factory was and sent me the factory photos (I was worried she did not have access to this factory because I don’t see many reviews from different seller). The cheapest I found this bag was 2250cny and Annie’s price was only 2100cny. She wrapped the bag nicely and it came without any scratches or dents. I love the PSP videos she takes so I can see the bag in action.

Comments

I just realized S factory is often called by Hoho factory by other sellers like Oli, Fly, Aaron,… I got my lambskin from S factory fr Gary and 100% agree with you their quality is excellent 🥰🥰🥰 ⏤ by miemieeee123 (↑ 9/ ↓ 0)

├─ Hi! Are your S factory bags all pleasant smelling? No fufu chemical smell? ⏤ by Patienceandgranola (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

├── No fufu or any noticeable smell, the rich leather smell hasn’t come out yet. ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

This is such a great bag, at an even better price point! I read through your other review (by the way, that color is to die for) and, if I may ask, would you choose S Factory over White Chair? ⏤ by allthingsmeow (↑ 4/ ↓ 0)

├─ I would choose S Factory again and again. The quality from White Chair was ok for the price but I was desperate for a 21p caramel bag. I might try the 21p from S Factory even though the hardware is gold and not light gold. ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 3/ ↓ 0)

├── SAMEEEE. Mr Gary says that the leather on the caramel is just as luxe as the black which makes me feel like I can ignore the ghw issue. :/ Let us know if you bite the bullet!! ⏤ by shopaholicfess (↑ 3/ ↓ 0)

├─── Yeah tbh the gold hardware on my White Chair bag doesn’t look bad against the Caramel color ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

Thank you for this review! You have intrigued me about S factory. Now you have me wondering if they make the Chanel “Trendy” bag? I’m looking for a high quality one without forking out 187 type prices….

I think I will reach out to Annie! ⏤ by IdahoLakeGirl (↑ 3/ ↓ 0)

├─ She has the brown/caramel Trendy CC on her album at a discount! Not sure what factory, I just messaged her asking if she had the black one and what factory it’s from. :) ⏤ by iheartprettythings1 (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

├─ Try out the Coco Factory version! It’s incredibly amazing quality for the price :) ⏤ by fullstuck (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

├── do you know anything about how the lambskin feels? I just received my very first 187 King bag (jumbo SO black- I waited 6 months for it!) - and I am just digging the quality. Do you know if Coco feels pretty similar? Or if its a huge step down from 187?

I know Coco is about half the price- so that is a reason to strongly consider it! ⏤ by IdahoLakeGirl (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

Wow…. 18 reps for 1 Auth. lol.. insane! Lovely bag <3 def want a lambskin and will prob go with Annie! ⏤ by nrb_fifteen (↑ 3/ ↓ 0)

├─ Yes I got a bunch of good stuff! Some not so good but still worth it. ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

Thank you for your review. I’ve been eying the 23cm CF from this factory but haven’t pulled the trigger. Your review is so helpful, and I think I may order it now. ⏤ by SleepIsGood8 (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

Your bag is soooo gorgeous 😍💕 I have been eyeing this bag for so long but it’s so hard to decide on which factory. Your review is very helpful and I’m so tempted to order it specially considering how fast it got to you. I’ve read that it takes sometimes 3 or 4 months to get it from 187 factory 😳 ⏤ by Shop_girl81 (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

Beautiful I’ll be going to Anna for my first rep. Thank u for this review enjoy your bag ⏤ by Midnightblue55 (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

Time to add Annie to my wechat. This purse is gorgeous. ⏤ by goodmorningtokyo (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

Love your review. That leather, I die! You have one gorgeous purse there. I’ve been wanting this bag forever except in GHW. I was going to splurge for the 187 but you’ve totally convinced me to try S factory. Reaching out to Annie now to see if I can score this! ⏤ by starsoaked (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

This has me sooo excited for my s factory CF that just shipped today 😍 ⏤ by macaron_ (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

This is gorgeous! I’ve been super tempted to order from S Factory but have seen a few ladies comment saying they feel that their classic flaps are a bit boxy compared to some other similar tiered factories. Do you feel like it’s boxy at all when you’re looking at it in person? ⏤ by bags_and_frenchfries (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

├─ I don’t feel it’s boxy. This is an image at a lower angle. Over time the shape should soften out, especially the bottom edges. ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

├── Thank you so much, that’s super helpful! ⏤ by bags_and_frenchfries (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

Omg please a comparison with this and your 187! I’m debating whether to get this rep or save up for a 187 :’) ⏤ by fullstuck (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

Girl lovely review! Totally repfluenced to get a CF from S Factory but got mine from NTS Alina for $290!! Receiving mine this week if they get through customs but cannot believe the massive price difference.

├─ That’s such a good price! The factory agent charges sellers 2000cny so I wonder how she got such a low price + her commission! ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

├── I honestly hope she is paying herself enough! Maybe it’s because I got 5 bags? Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ Either way, I’m very grateful for the price and excellent customer service (PSPs in a day, video to alleviate my concerns about quilting alignment, items to arrive like 10 days after paying if it clears customs lol) literally been raving about her all over repladies haha ⏤ by D1amond_soul (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

Damn…. for this price!!!!!! Plus the seller is pleasant to deal with. The Non-TS are really killing it. ⏤ by saffron25 (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

├─ Yes,I love the price and quality and the seller! Win win win ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

├── And she sent you PSPs too without you ah being to beg????? Wow ⏤ by saffron25 (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

├─── Wait what? Do you have to keep reminding sellers to send you PSPs sometimes? I’ve only had to do that once but the bag end up not in stock ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

It looks gorgeous! I am waiting for two bags from Annie. Hope to receive them soon to write reviews! ⏤ by CocoChoo2 (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

├─ Which bags did you get? Thank you. ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

├── I got a white chevron coco handle and new medium leboy. Annie shipped my coco handle last month but it’s still sitting in China. LeBoy hasn’t been shipped yet. ⏤ by CocoChoo2 (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

├─── That’s what was happening to my other packages :( they just sat in China for weeks. I was glad UPS was fast, even though it cost $15 more. ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

Lovely bag!!! A question… how do you make the smell of leather come out? It is something that is like trapped for a while and as it airs it oozes out? I never heard of this. Any tricks to make is happen faster? ⏤ by Patienceandgranola (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)

├─ It just takes time. Sometimes it never comes out if it’s not good quality leather. But I have hope for this one because it doesn’t have any weird smells. ⏤ by MoMoMoBags (↑ 0/ ↓ 0)
