I am dying to buy a Diana flap bag, and was wondering if anyone has used either of these sellers on IG:
Dianameetsdiana
mygrandfathersthings
If yes, have you had the bag authenticated after?
They both seem legit but I’m very clueless on how to tell if a vintage bag is authentic.
thank you!

MGFT has great reviews on this forum! I eventually would like a Diana as well and haven’t any idea how to authenticate, but she seems super legit and her website has great resources. If you search that in TPF you will see rave reviews. Though I must say her Instagram auction system seems super confusing/annoying to me so one thing to keep in mind, it may not be a straightforward listing.
Please do not buy from this IG reseller!
I recently had a terrible experience with Linda Subarli from Kocengayang79.
I pretty much had to chase her up for weeks to get her to respond to me to get my refund back. I could see she’s read my messages but chose to ignore them. I had to resort to an extreme measure by typing in uppercase and use firm direct language as encouraged by another person who I spoke to via FB that had similar experience with her. My request was for her to refund me back in full.
Today 26/Feb she “transferred” (not yet received) but she had taken her “fees” which I never agreed to or gave my consent. I didn’t purchase under a post with her disclaimers or anything like that. She posted it via IG story of an image when I enquired. I feel that she had no right doing that considering the poor experience and the time I have taken to chase her up for updates and now my refund back. The item was by no means HTG, it was readily available in US boutiques but it wasn’t offered where I am located so I had to go via the PS/reseller route.
She was totally unprofessional, rude and poor at communicating updates or expectations. I’m still waiting my for my refund. The fees she’s taken for her service is just plain daylight robbery.
I wouldn’t recommend anyone buying from her. No bag is worth the stress, time wasted or the degrading efforts I had to resort to. I have lost approx $400 AUD (fees, exchange rates etc) in this failed transaction with her.

I found this story a bit amusing. Is the reseller world that shaken up by our round ups and our spreading awareness? I thought she was still selling. It seems like a lot of people are using some tongue in cheek humor but also masking some concern. I hope we are helping with our resource sharing / reporting efforts. It’s just got to stop.
But what actually happened? Was the bag she sent you faulty or damaged? What did she say when you asked for a refund? How much fees did she charge?
Hello Taty we know you are on this forum - if you are reading! We are okay to miss out on the beautiful beige from you and happy to hunt down the proper way from stores.
If not possible there is always another beige coming soon !
Sorry this happened to you!
You could post on Chanel fb group to gain some attention from her and mods. , !?
I didn’t want to get involved but I am going to put my two cents in—I thought she was nice but she blocked me without reason on IG. I thought because I kept asking her stuff. Isn’t that normal when you post all this stuff to get questions? I really liked seeing the new bags. Kinda mean
I cannot believe these sellers post about haters, to be clear i dont think it is haters bringing down insta accounts, for most part i think it is Chanel and their Chanel’s copyright violation!I didn’t want to get involved but I am going to put my two cents in—I thought she was nice but she blocked me without reason on IG.

I would like to know as well since there is a bag I’m interested in.
To add, I also found this. Luxbuntoutou and Charlotteloveluxe had the same similar post.
Hello Taty, now you’re telling us there’s 2 bags restriction ? Isn’t that because of GREEDY resellers like you??? Lol
She did the same to my friends. She is pushy with her sales and block you if you pass lol.I didn’t want to get involved but I am going to put my two cents in—I thought she was nice but she blocked me without reason on IG.

Hi TATY FAR, if you’re lurking here. you have no haters. Lol You are just rude and pretended you hate resellers that eventually you became one. Sit down. And stop mocking the true Chanel collectors. Don’t unbox what’s not yours and for sale like your picotin and coco handle
