Sharing my experience buying from a personal shopper orchemellia. Her fee is fairly low and yhe transaction itself was smooth and quick. Unfortunately, I received the item yesterday and noticed a defect today. After asking her for my options, it seems like I have to bring it to a boutique myself to see if it can be repaired.

I wanted to share my experience since we are buying items blind!
That’s so disappointing considering you’d figure the item would be throughly checked.

OMG I literally just bought the 16C pixel rose gold mini from her this week! I came on this thread to also share my wonderful experience with globalluxcloset... and found yours on the most recent page. :biggrin: Hahaha, what are the chances!

+1 on how amazing globalluxcloset is. She sent so many photos and videos, was responsive throughout the process, and answered all of my questions. She is super kind and patient; literally walked me through how to use Transfer Wise because I had never used it before. Shipped it out to me the same day the money went through and the bag was in my hands two days later. 100% recommended and would buy from globalluxcloset again. :smile:

I just got scammed by leurstyle! Her pictures are so real. Should have done her background check before sending any money. :sad:
Ladies and Gents. I literally signed up on this blog to warn you all. Do NOT buy from Leurstyle on Instagram. She’s a fraud. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I bought a Chanel jacket from her, sent her money to this English bank account. She said once the jacket arrived to her it was damaged. The refund was supposed to be from a bank in Qatar. Of course she never sent the refund. Several of us have notified Instagram that she is a fraud but nothing happens. Please spread the word so that others can be saved by this absolute cow.

Just want to warn anyone who is looking to purchase from this IG’s page “Leurstyle”. SHE IS A SCAMMER.
An absolute Scammer!! She stole money from me in June 2023. I spent two months back and forth trying in vain to get my refund. Im not the only one. I found a poor lady on leursstyle Instagram page (she had left a comment but I only read it after I had sent the money) that was scammed too. So we chatted about it. I blew over 3000 euros. I tried to search online about Leurstyle but nothing came up. Please do not use her “services” I’m saving you from a lot of pain.

View attachment 5849788Is this the correct page I’m so scared of scammers . I see something I like .
Just don’t use Leurstyle. She’s an absolute fraudster. Stole over 3000 euros from me over summer 2023.

Has anyone heard of leurstyle?
@leurstyle on Instagram
Yes. I have used her “services” and got totally robbed. It’s a scam. She’s an absolute scam artist. Professional one. She stole exactly 3400 euros from me in June 2023. I spent two months back and forth with her. Save yourself and your money and don’t use her.

Im sorry to hear this happened to you! How did you pay - can you report it through them? I've seen this name around for a while and its shocking her account is still active and she is still scamming people. I have reported on instagram.

Many thanks for your message. It was a direct bank transfer to this British account. It was this random bank. Alarm bells should have been ringing….but the lady seemed totally legitimate. I reported on Instagram, several others have too but unfortunately this lady continues to operate. Also I found out last year that she went into the dark…as in her account was shut down…then suddenly she reappeared.

She has a new company called Sty by Ltd. That’s the company bank account where she requests the deposits. Previously she scammed others and requested deposits in a Russian bank account (under the name Mastepan Aleksandr) Please all be careful!
 
I’m so sorry this happened to you:sad:
Thank you for your kind message. I just hope no one else gets scammed by Leurstyle that’s why I’m posting here. This is the German number she uses ‪+49 1512 4420956‬. Everyone please be careful. View her Instagram page. After investigating I realized she has used different Instagram accounts but has the same pathetic layout.

I got scammed by Leurstyle too in June 2023. Please keep away from them. She has used several Instagram profiles so please be careful. It’s the same layout so it’s easy to spot.
 
I just bought a LV bag from AdrianaPre-lovedluxe on IG and they have a website too. They are from New Zealand, shipped for free to Australia and the item looks exactly as the description.

Found the prices reasonable, in line or cheaper with other bigger consignment store. Pretty happy with the fast transaction, I little slow the courier but not their fault.

Has anyone in Canada purchased from an ig seller from USA (eg. orchmellia) or Australia and can comment on if they had to pay duties/customs upon receipt of the item and how much it was approximately % wise? Example if using FedEx or any other postal service, how was the duties and customs? Thanks!
