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!
Hi have you tried Facebook groups? There are so many I’ve seen.
 
I remember reading on here that several people had some issues with Eunice/luxurytholic. I just wanted to share my experience with her recently. She had a discontinued item I've been searching for, but after reading about how she sold some inauthentic items or was unresponsive, I was skeptical. She does take pp g&s at a 7% fee so I decided to bite the bullet and purchased the item from her.

She was extremely responsive and patient with me. Her answers were short and to the point but I had to ask several questions more than once because she would answer one and forget the rest if you ask her multiple questions at once. Once I cleared her invoice, she asked me for my shipping address and phone number. I did not hear from her about shipping or a tracking number for about a week but it was understandable because it was Lunar New Year. The day I was going to reach out to her for a follow up, I received a text with the tracking number.
She shipped the item out of UK via DHL and it got to Los Angeles, cleared customs and got to me 2 days after!
I took photos and sent it to 2 different sources for an authenticity check. Better safe than sorry I guess. Both sources came back with my authenticity certificate. I am now so relieved and glad I made the purchase from her despite the mixed reviews.

Hopefully this helped some of you who are eyeing something from her!

I had the same experience, she was nice but short. No issues
 
I haven’t purchased from her but enquired a few times. My recent was waiting on her to send payment details and confirm receipt with her client as it’s a consignment item. Next day the item was sold, no communication back to me lol

she was friendly etc so no issues on this front.

Thanks. Are you referring to the IG seller, Audreyluxurytime?

Are the items authentic?
