I'm sure there are a lot more bad experiences and horror stories resulting from purchasing off IG. A lot of people are embarrassed and wouldnt say anything. I encourage everyone to tell their story so others learn what to do/not do.
I went into the actual store, physically inspected the bag before purchase, and once the payment went through went home with the bag. So I don't see much risk, and also they are very reputable. I would be more worried about bank transfer if I can't see the item in person, or bank transfer ig sellers with no physical store because they can just delete their page if they do not want to follow through.
Yes they are legit I have bought few items with them. The prices are mostly very reasonable.
Hi! Just wanted to share my experience with Wellesley luxury group on IG. I was interested in something she posted to sell. I asked her for more pictures. She sent me some pictures but it wasn’t clear or close enough to see the quality of the bag. I asked if she can send closer pictures of it because I wanted to make sure there were no corner rubs. She said it’s preowned and in good condition. She sent me more pictures of it but it still wasn’t great quality. I told her based on the pictures she sent me, it’s more used than I like and will pass on the item. She got really offended and said it’s new and never used and the pictures were bad. I asked her to retake and send me better pictures but she said it’s sold. I responded ok, thank you. She said bye and BLOCKED me!! She was really offended because I wasn’t interested. I showed her where it showed rubbing on the corners from the pictures she sent. She made me feel as if I was rude to her but I didn’t do anything wrong and was really bother by her attitude.
here are the pictures she sent me. The one I circled is where I see a little rubbed.

Interesting - I've purchased two bags from her (Louis Vuitton and Hermes Picotin) and both were pretty spot in in terms of her description. Sorry you had a bad experience with her!
I was really taken back by how she blocked me. I didn’t talk to her in any rude manner. I think I just offended her when I said the bag didn’t look new. It was based on the pictures she sent me and she even acknowledged the pictures were bad. Either way, I dodged a bullet. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone who couldn’t take a client being honest to her.
If she acknowledged that the pictures were bad and couldn't easily get more, it could be the owner sending her the pics and she might not have the bag in her possession to take pics herself.
i purchased a chanel cf from momo last year without issue, and recently ordered some limited spirited away loewe RTW with them and everything went smoothly! i really appreciate being able to pay via paypal invoice rather than F&F. still gotta look out for paypal conversion rates tho!
if that was the case I would have understood but it wasn’t. When I requested for more details pictures, she mentioned she would send them to me when she got into the office. Either way, she shouldn’t be upset and offended if I decided to pass on the bag due to bad pictures.
Has anyone have experience with luxxedition? Seem like they always have nice vintage pieces but im not sure authentication and legitimacy
