LV Silver Alma Mirror MM bag review by Alexis

Hi everyone there are a few announcements. The first one is I just updated some information on the following post, Tips on not being scammed on Ioffer. Please read it.
http://repbagschat.blogspot.com/2010/11/tips-on-not-being-scammed-when-buying.html


The second announcement is the controversy on TFS. One member brought a BDR First and her bag was missing some hardware and the handle was detached. If you do not know about it, please read it on TFS forum. When the member stated her disliked on how T&D just shift the blame, and instead of other members supporting her, they indirectly attacked her. This is what bothers me most of all. A buy could never voice his/her true opinion without having people attacking her. How do you expect anyone to find a great seller when the truth is swept under the rug like nothing has happened? To make matters worst, the buyer instead of sticking to her beliefs, she changed her opinion to cater to other members on the forum and have the moderator erase any posts from her about the awful buying experiences from T&D. A forum should be a place for sharing ideas, issues or concerns without having anyone feel threaten, pressured or attacked. This is one reason why I hate forums like those. I just want all my readers here to know that I encourage everyone, no matter how small or big the problem is, please voice your opinion on any reps bags or any sellers. I do not pick favors and I do not discourage anyone. I try to be fair. Please do not be afraid to share. I do not ban anyone here, without good reason. Not even the lady who voice her disapproval on buying rep bags. (I have no problem her saying that the bag is a bad or an ugly rep, just don't lecture us on buying reps, which funds terrorists, gangs or create child laborers. That discussion belongs on another blog.)

With that out of the way, lets continue with another great review by the pretty Alexis. Thank you Alexis for sharing.
If anyone wants to know Alexis's seller, please submit a bag review. Thank you. 
       I purchased this Silver Alma Mirror MM from Pinkcherry*** on ioffer. She is my favorite seller and I have been buying from her for a year. I have 5 bags and all are extraordinary quality (LV Artsy GM, LV Palermo GM, Eclipse Speedy, Eclipse Alma, and the Mirror Alma MM in silver). Her LV Artsy bags are practically identical to the original. If anyone is interested in that style I can also review that bag as well. I choose to review her Mirror bag because it is a hard one to copy and this replica is practically flawless. I can not find anything off based on looking at pictures of the real one on blogs. The silver is the right shade. I will be purchasing it in gold soon. I know the gold is harder to match so you can't go wrong with any of the silver mirror styles. The inside is gray canvas with a vachetta leather logo square and two pockets (a cell phone and regular un-zippered pocket). It also comes with a mini strap to wrap the handles. The only thing missing was a luggage tag but I believe that only comes with the GM size. All of the hardware buttons have "Louis Vuitton" written on them and the dimensions of the bag are accurate. I just really love this bag and this seller. She has a small set-up in California so if you need to return something you can mail it to her California office rather than back to China which is such a plus and a reason I choose to buy from her. She has every style of bag, many of which are not listed on her ioffer page so just ask her in the comment section about any bags not shown. I ordered this Mirror bag and it is not shown on her ioffer page so she is trusty worthy even without pictures.

  8. Hello all,

    I have been doing research for 2 months now. Wanting to purchase a flawless or as close to flawless LV Vernis Alma handbag replica in black. I have attempted to order from FabAAA, 7 Louis Vuitton, Luxury 7, AAA bags and Bagaholics; I bailed out the last moment before hitting the submit button. LOL!I'm so afraid of wasting hard earned money on crap. Yes they are knock offs but money is money. Nobody wants to be spotted miles away swinging a noticable fake. The horror! At least let it be top notch, high quality one right? Then to my relief found this site as well as other blogs where actual customers can give you the nay or yay! Please if anybody knows somewhere they can honestly attest to; a seller that has the best product. Alexis' bag looks so beautiful and if you are reading this; would you mind forwarding me the information? Also would you let me know if you are happy with it? Pros & Cons? My other email is star718212@yahoo.com. Thank you!!

  9. Hi, to star quality: there is a review on ioffer.com here on the blog site under november 2010 reviews for pros and cons...its very helpful i thought. Haven't ordered anything from ioffer myself but like alexis said her seller seems pretty good. If you submit a review of any replica bag you bought anywhere to craftress and she'll give you the name of the seller. It's so we help each other out:)How to submit the review is also described on this site. Do get as much research done as you can and better to wait a bit longer. I think anything over 200$ is too much for any replica as it only takes 50$ to make one. Paid 359$ for my alexa mulberry! way too much. And when you order maybe ask the seller to make sure that the bag has been stored appropriately and doesn't have any creases in the leather as this is annoying and a dead give away that its a replica. The real bags would never have creases in the leather. Hope this was helpful. xo

  10. Good morning Trish,

    Thank you; you have been very helpful. I would love to post pics of any rep I buy however I need a seller, a good one so I'm kind of stuck. I really dont want my 1st to be my last because I came across one of the rotten ones :-(
    I'm willing to pay $100-$250 maybe a little more for shipping if it's worth it. Each seller I came so close to doing business with have both good and bad reviews so I bail out. It's like Russian Roulette. I'm not looking for perfection but I'm not looking to throw away a couple of hundred of dollars either. I mind as well buy a real Coach at the outlet LOL! I'm so in love with the LV Vernis Alma and I have to have it! If I get my hands on a honest and real high quality seller I would buy from them like crazy!! Oh well the search goes on. Thanks again!

  11. Hello,

    Today I ordered my LV Vernis Alma, black from FabAAA. Although there are mixed reviews they sound like one of the best. No more backing out LOL! Craftress; I will be sure to send you lots of pics and my take on the purchase. Joy wrote me back saying my delivery may be delayed due to the Chinese New Year. Oh well...I waited this long right? I was wondering has anybody here bought this bag from Fab? Or know of anyone who has? I'm looking for honest feedback..Now I'm nervous. Thanks!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. hey star q, good you ordered from fabaaa as many reviews from them here are very good. haven't ordered of them myself yet but im dying to try them out. joy is supposed to be very honest and helpful and its meant to be the best site for a first rep buy because of their honesty. hope it works out for you and you don't have to wait that long:) sorry didn't know you haven't purchased any reps yet!
    anyone know if jacky's site is back soon?

  13. Hello Trish,

    Thanks! I heard MOSTLY good things about them so what the hey. I will let you know! I can't wait. I'm so excited and PRAY it's a darn good one. Oh and the price was pretty good $182 with shipping. The shipping itself was $48...ouch!

  14. ya i had to pay 45$ for shipping with jacky too. customs are getting stricter apparently but got the bag after only 5 days but that was before christmas with a different site. it looks like a good rep i looked on fabaaa and the reviews of other almas seemed positive. lets hope its shiny;)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Ok I don't feel as bad then. I hope it's shiny too! The pics look good but I really hope what is shown is what I am delivered! Question: In terms of quality; would you say Jacky is one of better sellers? Were you impressed with your bags? After I post my Alma review I plan to do business with Jacky right away but I would love to hear your opinion as well.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hi star, i think the alma is an easy one to copy because of the patent leather. Its the same material all over and black is always more forgiving compared to light colours where you can see all the imperfections.
    I ordered from jacky the Mulberry bayswater bag in oak plus matching somerset wallet. The review is up under nov 2010 on this site so have a look:) Was very impressed with the wallet and the bag was nice too but had some creases and marks on the front. It doesn't annoy me much but i feel they could have taken more care of the bag when they stored it. Both the bag and wallet are still great and the leather is getting softer on the bag as the straps were a bit stiff which made it hard to carry on my shoulder. I would order of them again. They have the same selection as bagaholics.com and think they are affiliated with them if you want to have a preview on whats on their site;) Same photos on both sites. Jacky is very cheap, cheaper than bagaholics.com but same produce, mostly 100$ per item plus shipping fee of 45$. So great for me because im a student. Never bought LV its not as popular over here in Ireland or UK but i like a few LV bags..galliera and neverful. Id say ask craftress about a site that would suit your bag label preference as sites always have a speciality label. One might do great Mulberry but crap Gucci or LV. She'll recommend one to you, i asked her which was best for Mulberry bags. Jacky's site is still not back so don't know whats going on with them...Hope they are back soon. Later so, XO

  18. Hi star, and welcome to the blog. Cannot wait to see your purchase from Joy. You coulde send me a bag review and I could post it on my blog in exchange for any seller inoformation. My advice is to do your homework and search other blogs and forums for good reps. Not every seller will have the best Lvs or Gucci. For example, One seller might have the best LV speedy, but their LV neverful sucks. It's best to compare pictures and see which seller the bag you want and see if the reps are good enough. For example, some might like their reps to be mirror image to the exact T. Others could live with one or two things are off, like the LV logo is cut off at the corner or the zipper is a different shape. It depends on what you can deal with.

  21. Hi trish, Sorry but jacky changed his website again. He does that every few months. It will take me a few days before I get his new site. Btw bagaholic is just drop shipping using jacky's products. Why pay double the price when you could get it cheaper from jacky. If you compare pictures it's the same as the website from jacky. Mypurseparty.net does the same thing as well with jacky's products. I should write a post on it next time.

  22. Hi, ya just looked on mypurseparty and noticed the same pics as jacky and bagaholics yesterday! Thanks for the info on jacky, ill look forward to the new site:)

  23. Trish,

    Thank you so much for your comment. You've been very helpful! I might have lucked out with my dream bag being one of the easy ones to copy. I still have my fingers crossed. I'm still waiting for my bag by the way. I read your review and your bag is beautiful. I must admit I know very little about Mulberry so I'm going by appearances only.

  24. Thank you Craftress. I love your blog and how you've set it up. I can't wait either LOL! I excited yet nervous. Either way I will be sending you pictures soon. I would prefer an exact mirror image but I also can live with a minor flaw. This is what I hoping for when I open my box. haha

  27. Hello ladies,

    Sorry haven't given an update until now. So if you remember I put in an order for my LV vernis alma mm. Chinese New Year through a monkey wrench in my plans because my bag would have sat there and not be shipped in weeks. Joy was very honest and helpful. She tried her best but I ended up cancelling. Since then I've been reading and searching other blogs and reviews. One thing I found out is that the lv vernis alma mm doesn't come in black! I'm glad I didn't buy it! I'm sure the real louis owners would have winced. So I moved my choice over to the almarante (sp?). I really don't mind the color but that particular style and make has me in love. I'm still on the hunt. As I'm looking through other sellers' sites I go back to fabaaa and it has been seized! Can you believe it? :-( I'm shocked! Has anybody else saw this?
