Pictures of LV trevi, speedy and galliera bags by Tanesha

Hi the follow pictures are taken by Tanesha. She didn't want any seller's information, that is why the pictures are limited. She is very generous to share with everyone the bags she brought. She also wrote the following to help others when buying reps. Thank you Tanesha.

"i LOVE my galliera!!! at first i was concerned about the material it was made of but joy reassured me that it was in fact made from coated canvas. i have lots of pictures of it. in 2 of the pictures im posting, the trevi pm and the damier azur speedy are going to be featured in it. i DID NOT order those 2 bags from Joy the trevi came from toptopbag.net and the speedy from e-replica-bags.com."

i just wanted to send you some before/after pictures of my galliera that i bought in november. these are the same pictures you posted in november '10 of my galliera. i just did side by side pics so it was easier to tell the difference in colors. I was hoping you would post them so people could stop asking if joy's LV oxidizes or not. these pictures are proof that it does! i didnt do alot of pictures. only a few of them so people could get the idea. my galliera pm has a nice light patina going on and im surprised it's actually even. it's been only 5 months since i've had it so it's going to get darker. i can't wait to see what it looks like after 1 year.

How to get Jacky, Catty and other seller's information?

I have been asked a few times about obtaining the sellers of Catty, Jacky or any other sellers. I have no problem in passing this information, but my main concern is if I do give out this information people who read my blog won't come back and make comments or learn about replica bags. The whole point of me starting this blog was to help not only me, but other people in finding great replica bags. I want people to read my blog and not be afraid in making comments or give their honest reviews. I have not learn everything there is to learn about replica bags and I need my readers to educate me as well. So I think the only fair way of doing this is I am willing to give any information on any seller if I get a bag review from you. The rules are:

1. For every bag review I get I will give you one seller's information. PLEASE ONLY BAG REVIEW OF REPS OR AUTHENTIC BAGS. I much rather prefer reps. DO NOT GIVE ME PICTURES OF BAGS FROM COMPANY LIKE NINE WEST, GUESS, PAYLESS OR OTHER LESS KNOWN DESIGNERS. These kind of bag reviews don't help anyone.

2. Take 5 pictures (If you could take more that would be great.) and I will be posting your pictures on my blog and giving you the credit. Take pictures of the bag's handles (Make sure there is no plastic covering the handles. If there is, just remove it or move it to the side and then take the picture. I need pictures of BOTH HANDLES.), inside the bag, front of the bag, back of the bag and the last picture should be a picture of your hand doing the bunny ears or peace sign with the bag. (The reason I ask this is because I know that the pictures you take are really yours and you didn't just copy it from any websites. Anyone could put in a watermark on the pictures. Not many people take pictures with their hand doing the bunny ears with the bag.) Make sure I could open up your files and your pictures are good, if I cannot open it up I cannot give you the seller's information. If your pictures have too much glare or blurriness I cannot accept it. There are no exceptions.

3.Write a paragraph about your bag and your shopping experience and where did you get the bag. Just 4 or 5 sentences, if you want to write more that would be great.

4. I don't know how many responses I will get, if I don't get to you, please be patient. Please e-mail all the pictures and your experiences to craftress@yahoo.com.

5. I will not make any exceptions. These rules apply to everyone. Once I do give you the sellers' information, PLEASE DO NOT POST IT IN THE COMMENT BELOW. I will delete it. It's only fair that everyone contributes and get the sellers by themselves. I will also be deleting any seller's information on the comment below or any hints in obtaining the seller's information. This is only fair and it's not hard to do one bag review. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE IT OUT TO OTHERS OR POST IT ONLINE OPENLY. This is to protect the sellers and make sure that they do stay in business.

Here are some tips in taking good pictures of your bag. Turn off the flash and open up some windows to let in natural light. When you take the picture it would not create this glare or white spot. Use the close up mode in your camera to take details of the bag, like the buckle, zipper or stitching and it eliminate any blurry pictures.

6. Please give me bag reviews only. If you only have wallets, wristlets, coin purses or clutches for reviews only, then give me 2-3 reviews of the items I listed for one seller's information.

Here are some ideas of what to write about. Comment on the color, size and stitching of the bag. Do you like the bag? Is it cheaply made and what are your thoughts when you got the bag? How long did you have to wait in receiving the bag? Was it expensive? Where did you buy it? etc.

Here is an example of a bag I took picture to show you what is considered acceptable. When you take a picture of you doing the bunny ears make sure you don't block the bag. As you can see from the pictures below.

Picture #1-Front of the bag

Picture #2- back of the bag.

Picture #3- the bag handle.

Picture #4- Inside of the bag.

Picture #5- your hand doing the bunny ears with the bag. Do not block the bag.

Picture #5- your hand to the side doing the bunny ears with the bag. Do not block the bag.

Marc Jacob Wallet Review.

Hi everyone. Been awhile since my last review. Here is a review of the Marc Jacob wallet I brought from Joy and so far it's my favorite wallet. Very well made and I love the color. There are a lot of compartments inside the wallet, so plenty of room for your bills, receipts, credit cards, and it could fit a small compact mirror and lip gloss to use as a clutch bag. I love the quilted pattern at the back of the wallet, which is stitched very nicely and not sloppy. In front of the wallet are two compartments, which are so cute. You could put coins or small items such as; jewelry so you could change your look easily. The only problem I have with the wallet is the zipper end is too long, which is a dead give away for a replica. I solve the problem by just tucking it inside the wallet, so it's not too bad. I recommend this wallet. It comes in many colors. I don't know if Joy have anymore because last time I check she was sold out of the white.

UPDATED: They are all sold out.

The front of the clutch wallet.

The back of the wallet.

The length of the wallet measures around 7.5in.

The measure of the wallet from side to side is over 3in.

The length of the zipper from one end to another is 10 inches.

Tips on not being scammed when buying from ioffer.com

Hi everyone, I know a lot of people have been asking me about finding a great replica bag from ioffer.com or any other sellers. Here are some of my tips that I used when shopping for great reps. This will help some shopper pick a great seller and not be ripped off. I know this can be confusing, but if you follow my tips it might help you out on saving money and getting a great rep.

1. I type in the bag I want and I sort the listed of bags from Lowest to highest price. Do not go for sellers that is the cheapest online. Cheap doesn't mean good or expensive doesn't mean good either. RESEARCH is the way to go. From that list, I skip all the bags that have pictures of authentic bags or stolen pictures from other website. Pictures could be deceiving, so skip all the listings that have fake pictures or you think the pictures are off. If they have watermark, that is good. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR MORE PICTURES FROM THE SELLER OR ASK QUESTIONS. If the seller avoid that question you should avoid buying from them.

2. Skip all the sellers that have less than 99% approval ratings and sold less than 100 bags in their profile.

3. Once you narrow all the sellers that has less than 99% approval rating, look at how many of bags they sold. Pick the seller that sold the most bags in their profile. Don't just pick any sellers with just 99% approval ratings. That can be deceiving. Always read the negative feedback from the buyers. It is usually listed on the last page of the seller's feedback page. Ioffer usually put it in the last page, because it puts sellers in a negative light. Reading the negative reviews give you an idea of how sellers handle the situation when there is a problem. Were the seller able to fix the problem or they ignore it? When did it happen? Did a lot of negative feedback start popping out recently, if it did, that is telling me that the seller is dealing with problems in their own life or manufacturing problems in the factory. You should avoid it. Click on a few of the negative review and read the exchange of communication between buyer and seller. See if the seller was good at communicating and did s/he ignore the buyer's questions? If they ignore the buyers questions, mostly likely they will ignore the buyer when there's a problem in the future. Reading the conversation also give you an idea that sometimes the buyer is being unreasonable and refused to work with the seller.

4. It is also a good idea to contact any pass buyers of the bag and ask them personally how they like the bag. They might ignore you, but there is a chance they will answer you back. Questions like, How is the stitching, color and shape of the bag? Do you recommend this seller? etc.

5. I forgot to mention, on Ioffer there is no way no how a seller would offer you an authentic LV bag for under $300 dollars or even less than that. I have been seeing a lot of sellers saying their bag is authentic and they are willing to sell it to you on such a low price. Do not be scrammed. Stay away from sellers saying their bags are authentic.

6. Do not use paypal to pay for anything on Ioffer.com Trust me on this. If you have a paypal account and use it to buy reps online and the bags are not what is expected. You could file a complaint and there is a chance that you may or may not get your money back. I often read buyers would buy a bag and the bag was horrible. The buyer would contact the seller and the seller would either ignore them or never refund the money. Even if you file a complaint with paypal, paypal would not refund the money even if paypal ruled in your favor. This is because the seller do not have ENOUGH funds in their account, so you end up losing money. If you are going to make a purchase on ioffer, please use your credit cards, especially Amex or any other major credit card companies that has hassle free returns, that way you could file a charge back with your credit card company. Please be smart. I have been reading some horror stories, so protect yourself.

A whole bunch of Coach reviews.

This is one of the designer labels I refused to buy reps. I didn't see any point because it's so cheap buying an authentic from any outlets and on top of that Coach factory would often have discount. Often times I would get an additional 20% coupon off of all purchases. I am not much of a Coach bag lover. I have yet to find a coach bag I really love that fits my style. I often purchase wristlets, wallets and just recently I purchase a fanny pack which I love. Yes, I am guilty of bring back the 80's with a fanny pack purchase. This is a mini haul of my Coach collection. It's not much, but hopefully I will be getting more in the future.
