I purchased the yellow mini vanity from her 2 months ago. I was trying to get one from another IG seller but they couldn’t find it. When she posted one on her IG I contacted her right away and she got back to me within 30 mins. I paid through Zelle and this was my first IG purchase so I was a bit nervous. Her price was very good though compared to others (a little over retail plus tax). She was very sweet and we chatted a bit. When my vanity arrived it was perfect and nicely packaged like it was straight from boutique- where she mentioned it would be coming from. The only thing I would say is that it took 2.5 weeks to get to me. She was upfront and said it was shipping to her from the boutique by UPS ground. Then she would ship it to me- I think she must try to ship a bunch at once and maybe mine was waiting to be shipped in a group or something. Either way I wasn’t in a rush so I didn’t bother her about it and she provided a tracking number when it went out. Hope that helps!The exact thing happened to me! Would love to here from someone who has successfully bought from her

Just want keep everyone updated with LuxurytholicHello everyone, here are my shopping experience with some of Instagram sellers.
Coco_Approved ( Tim ) : Coco Approved is based in HK. I got my first pre-loved Chanel bag at Coco Approved. Tim is absolutely honest, lovely and professional. He was always patient and responsive to all of my questions. I had 5 transactions with Tim and it all went well. I totally trust Tim, especially with my bank transfer and I highly recommend him for everyone. You guys should check his website frequently because you may find a unicorn. Coco_Approved’s pricing is reasonable and ethical, especially after Chanel’s price increase in May.
I personally adore Tim so much ! He is really friendly and we occasionally have small talk about other things than handbags.
Dearluxe ( Amy ) : Another lovely seller from HK. I had a little trouble with DHL and Amy was really responsible with helping me to resolve the problem. Dearluxe has the prettiest packaging I haver ever seen ! Amy was responsive and nice to me. Occasionally, Dearluxe has some rare unicorns on its instagram’s stories. I would love to shop with her again !!
Timlesslikeaudrey ( Cecilia ) : She is based in Australia. She is very reputable so some of her items are sold at a premium. You will surely get what you pay for ! She has the best quality pre-loved handbags. There are so many rare unicorns at her store so you have to be really fast ( and lucky ). To me, Cecilia was also nice, honest and responsive. If you send her a message directly via WA, she will respond back really fast. She sent me nearly 30 photo of the bag I bought lol.
Fashion_Addict93 ( Selina ) : I barely shop with U.S based shoppers because my first experience was awful; however, Selina has changed my opinion on this. She was EXTREMELY patient and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. Selina is honest and straight forward so buying with her was very easy. She helped me to source a highly sought after handbag from last year ( dark Beige Claire in small size / 28 series ). Her fees are reasonable ! I highly recommend Selina for anyone who is looking for rare items.
Luxurytholic ( Lau ) : A member of this forum recommended Lau for me. She is based in HK and UK so she can source highly sought after items outside of America. My transaction with luxurytholic is still pending but so far, she is great. I will come back and update for y’all after my purchase is completed.
( 3 out 5 Chanel bags in the attached photo are from Coco_approved. There was another mini bag in denim blue ( also from Coco_approved ) but I rehomed her before taking this picture. I hope everyone finds my post helpful
thank you for reading !! )

After paying for my bag, I haven’t heard back from her for a week. Surprisingly, there are so many people like me. They paid for their bags 2-3 weeks before and still don’t get any update on their deliveries. Some of them shopped at Luxurytholic before and this is the first time they have this issue with Luxurytholic. I don’t want to believe that Luxurytholic is a scammer because they have real feedback from real buyers. I even dm their previous clients for verification. However, there are somethings wrong going in with them right now. I know that Eunice Lau is sick and Emma ( assistant/partner ) has been taking over; nonetheless, none of them has officially has announced anything yet. Our messages are intentionally ignored. I am really confused why don’t they reply to us and reassure our bags will be shipped. I am overwhelmingly anxious about this transaction
you guys can find other people comments on the last three photo of her IG. The fact they don’t even bother to delete the negative comments and help to resolve..urgh (

Sorry to hear what you guys are going through. Is she Lux Lau aka Lau Unice on Facebook ? She goes by Eunice. Based in Hong Kong. I never actually bought from her since she was so vague about item info and shipping. People also warned me about her selling some fake items. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.
Sharing my recent personal shopping experience from IG seller timelesslikeaudrey. She’s friendly, super responsive, sent me multiple photos of the bag and super fast shipping! To my surprise, she fully wrapped the bag with ribbon, camellia and tissue paper exactly like how you would receive in the store! Overall, the experience is excellent. However, I’m not an expert to tell if my bag is real or super fake so I’m just sharing my overall experience. Hope this helps!
Hi, has anyone bought preloved designer items from roundeeworld before? Their prices are really attractive but for 2k+ followers in comparison to an average of 3 likes... seems questionable.
Would also like to share my recent experience with Momoland. She is amazing, fast and super efficient. Bought my first Chanel mini rectangle from her and paid through Transferwise. Honestly I was very cautious about it as this is the first time I bought something that cost so much from someone in another country but with her everything was smooth sailing. Except that when the item arrived, noticed that the Chanel wording on the dust bag was slanted. I wonder if anyone ever faced this before? Anyway Momo helped to checked with her SA and took every photo of the similar size dust bag they have in store. and really some is slanted, I'm shocked to know this is Chanel's standard. I mean of course its just a dust bag but for the price you pay this is just.... bizarre. Anyway she resolved this issue by shipping over a new one and I am more than happy with her service recovery. I'll attached the photo of the dust bag for you to see what I meant by slanted. Oh and also a photo of my purchase. Another thing that I would like to highlight is that, I was told that the collection released in Japan is slightly later than US so maybe if you want or missed out something from the previous collection she would be able to source it for you. Hope you guys find this useful somehow
sellers in US are selling at a higer price and not such a good condition always, no problem buying from australia it arrived faster than from FP in 3 days no extra duty fees and any problems, Japan is the same came faster than from US
Here is my final update about my shopping experience with Luxurytholic.Just want keep everyone updated with Luxurytholic

Eunice Lau - the main seller of Luxurytholic came back after all of us commented on her post. She quickly provided assistance and refunded to those buyers whose bags were not available. Although Eunice Lau got her act together and resolved everything professionally and fairly, it took her 10-14 days to do it because her assistant failed to communicate with us. I have talked to her buyers and they are incredibly awesome and surprisingly patient with all of the delays. They would totally understand if they were given an update. Luxurytholic is legit; however, they need to improve their communication channel with clients. My bag came today and it seems authentic to me. The package was wrapped neatly and safely arrived.
If you get anything from them, please pay with PayPal Invoice. Even though PayPal Invoice costs more ( 3-7% ) , it protects you as a buyer. Please only do Transferwise and bank transfer with someone you trust and have good experiences with. When Luxurytholic disappeared, I thought about opening to dispute with Transferwise and lemme tell you this, it wasn’t easy at all.
Thank you for reading x

thank you for the detailed reviews!
Hi I bought also from luxurytholic. Emma replied a week or two ago to me and say will get back to me on shipping updates. Hasn't replied yet again to me. Im wondering if they shipped the items to you without sending you the tracking number? I hope that's the case. I appreciate if they would reply to me about the shipment.
I notice that sometimes the bag is not yet on hand. Some of her posts for sale are the same photo from the auction Im joining in Japan.
