luxeinlux_official used to be known as sassykimchi... this docluxury says he used Real Authentication and sabinalynn to authenticate it and they deemed it as fake. but i remember reading on here that RA has authenticated things wrongly... found a few threads on here about them. if he used someone more established and renowned like leathersurgeons i would totally believe that though... plus she got it authenticated by a French company who says its authentic... obviously she's going to trust her French one over the American one :noworry:

Sabina is legit, and this person docluxury has zero to gain by any of this so I believe it was a fake. It's also telling that luxeinlux claims that because customs didn't destroy the bag, that somehow authenticates it. Customs officials have no clue what is real and what is fake.

Those with recent buying experience with Orchmelia, can you send me a PM? I have a question along the lines of her PS fee and taxes. Also trying to decide if it's worth to just buy from Orchmelia or an SA from my home state with peace of mind that I can return the item if I decide I don't want it, which is unlikely. TIA.
Orchmelia told me that I can return or exchange the bag which is shipped from her SA even though the receipt states that it is a bona fide gift.

luxeinlux/sassykimchi is also legit, she's been around for quite awhile, i know many who have shopped with her before, not just small accounts, but big names. and its not just about customs not destroying the item (pretty sure they are very strict about fakes in EU as compared to USA), she also paid a 3rd party French service - authentifier - to authenticate the bag, and obviously in America they wouldn't know who this company is, but in Europe they will also say who is RA/Sabinalynn right? she too has nothing to gain, as does he (will maybe more publicity for his YT channel), in fact she too has paid money out of her pocket for the customs duties, so she is at a loss as well, given that this transaction was months ago, if she wanted to scam why would she be paying for custom duties to get back a "fake" bag? so... who benefited from this? :confused1:

The person who somehow injected this fake bag is the one who benefited!

sellers have insurance these days!they get some or almost all money back!

always buyers are the ones losing money or end up with fakes
 
alot of IG personal shopper/consignment/preloved accounts were disabled by IG recently. some have managed to get their accounts back, others not yet. in case you’re looking for your favorite seller, these are some of the accounts I know of and their backup handles which they are using now:

1. stylevialauren - je.suis.lauren
2. timelessv0gue - timelessv0gue_backup
3. lovelotsluxury - lovelotsluxury_backup
4. cashmere_consignment - cashmerepages_consignment (she got hers back already tho)

She also claims that obtaining the bag from a French woman in Paris some how adds to the legitimacy of the bag.
 
I know she's been mentioned a few times but I just want to add that I had an amazing experience with luxxlover on IG - she was super quick to respond to me, was super patient dealing with my payment issues (so many daily limits on zelle, venmo, apple pay!) and was a doll to work with. I got two wishlist bags (lilac coco handle and mini ivory iridescent flap) and both were in perfect condition as stated.

I'm located in Australia and I've only bought from Australian based ones so far.

These ladies were all pleasant to deal with and I've had no issues whatsoever :smile: Highly recommended

ayainlove - bought two Chanel bags, one coco handle and mini rectangle
the.emier - LV scarf
beautyandherluxe - pair of Chanel earrings
timelesslikeaudrey - Chanel WOC (still on the way)

I prefer sellers who already have the items on hand or will have them on hand before shipping them out to me... Just wouldn't want that headache of dealing with a 3rd party.
