I’ve bought from her before and she was great! Friendly, informative, ships quickly and well packaged
I want to share my experiences with coco_approved . I have been shopping with them in a very early stage . They were trustworthy, reliable and priced very reasonable for preloved even new items . It has been awhile since I shopped with them and two weeks ago I purchased a bag from them came in not as described. I messaged them they clearly seen the messages and no reply plus no action made . I found on Facebook page another buyer had the same issue _ item not as described_ she mentioned only by putting this to public to seek for attention would help in this situation. I don’t want to make it public so I ended up keep silent and keep the bag .
However , the prices now on coco_approved really irritates me . How could they sell this at 7300 USD ? I mean really ?!?!
Coco_approved is no longer reliable and priced reasonable which is very disappointing

I haven’t bought anything from them but I follow them and see their stories everyday. I do agree their price is unreasonable but that’s how it is with everyone now. there are some that charges less fees and Id purchase from them instead of coco. Right now a lot of sellers are selling the popular beige color in premium price because is in high demand. I wouldn’t pay for that. Return the purse if you didn’t like it and I rather you shared your experience so I know not to consider buying from them.
thanks for your feedback
I have made 5 purchases in past 2 years with coco_approved and the items came as described. I think they were pricing well last year, but recently i sold a pair of shoes with them and dint have a good experience.
had to constantly chase up, no replies!
What i have noticed is last year i think Tim used to take care of sales but i think there is a girl working/taken over and is not as great !
But i would not shop with them unless i find something i cant pass
Hi there, I am going to buy a bag from luxurytholic, that is my first time to purchase with her. I asked about tag and receipt. She told me that she could not find it and purchased for awhile ago. it made me afraid that bag is unauthentic. What do you guys think? pleas, share to me! Ty in advance
She is legit . I have purchased from her before . Receipt cannot prove authenticity . I would say green light !
Hello! Starting 21A Chanel will replace Authenticity card with micro chip like LV. No public app available to scan to verify authenticity !
Chanel will scan to verify authenticity only for repairs/returns!
Just something to be mindful going forward buying pre loved or from sellers.

Thank you for sharing! I am eyeing a bag she has and thinking hard. Less about the mark up on boutique price but more about certainty it is not a scam.
Read a few posts on her now in this forum, all look positive!
Hi There! I was wondering the same as well. Eyeing a bag they have. Any reviews would be greatly appreciated!Hi, I am new to TPS and shopping via personal shopper. Nice to e-meet you
I am interested in purchasing from @opsluxury (octapershop) as they have my dream bag. Has anyone bought from them before and how was your experience?
I was wondering about @opsluxury as well. There were only a few likes per IG post but the account has over 13K followers. However from my IM conversation with them through IG, they accept credit card and PayPal with additional service charge, so I guess that is slightly safer if you pay by PayPal Goods & Service.
I wanna make another PSA regarding @luxury_unicorn_finds as I know some other users here have already called them out in the past. DO NOT BUY FROM @luxury_unicorn_finds. I have some IG message exchange with them and these are some of the red flags which led me to strongly believe they are a scammer account:
- Refuse to share pics of full serial number and authenticity card
- Refuse to share pic of original tag even though they claim the bag which I inquired for is brand new
- Only accepts Revolut, Apple Pay, Cashapp (I asked about Zelle and they don't even take that)
- The person sent me a video of the bag I was asking about and I told them this is not their video. The person straight up blocked me in IG immediately
- There are other buyers who unfortunately had fallen into the scam and was not able to retrieve their money (search for @luxury_unicorn_finds_scam for more info)
