Hi everyone, just need some opinions or ideas. See, I've used Cocoapproved when buying some of my Chanels. Recently, I fancied two bags from them. One I paid, straightaway and then the other one I asked to pay in installments. My bf, offered to pay a part of the installment thru his credit card as my xmas/bday gift. I asked Cocoapproved if I can pay via card, she said yes but its with fees and I said okay. My bf paid with his card (Cocoapproved sent a payment link using Wise) and I sent the final installment thru BT. Cocoapproved then messaged me saying that I forgot to pay the fees. In my head, I assumed that Wise took some money from Cocoapproved as fees for our payment link. I asked her if Wise took some of our payment (not Cocoapproved but Wise). I was worried that Wise took the fees from her instead of me paying for it. So I asked for clarification and a screenshot, if Wise did took the money out. Tbf, I was confused of what was happening as Cocoapproved suddenly went defensive and making it seem I was causing issue when I was just asking. She then proceeded to refund the money saying its "BT only for installments" which was confusing me even more cause she said okay at first and then she backtracked. Also, I NEVER ASKED FOR REFUND. I asked how much do I owe her, yet she keeps sending the 2.5% fees rather than giving the exact amount (mind you at this state, I was thinking its best the amount comes from her so that there is no confusion). Then I asked her, 'as customers are we not allowed to raise questions etc' and she said yes - which is kind of concerning especially for a business like Cocoapproved. She was saying it is not normal to ask for bank statement as proof of fees (which I would understand had she communicated better rather than thinking of it as me making an issue). My main concern was that Wise took some of our payment to her to cover the fees. That was it. I intended to pay the incurred fees from Wise, if only she hadn't reacted rudely. I am so confused here. My bf is just waiting for his money back then I'll be sending the last installment thru BT and just cut ties with them (unfollow and all).

I recently purchased from Lovelotsluxury and had a bad experience. The first question I asked them is if there is any smell to the bag? The reply was no unusual smell. I went and ask few more times same questions. The reply was the same. There was no clochette and it was not mentioned, it was my fault as I did not ask them, but they did not highlight it. It was my first purchase with them, I was truly disappointed. In the end they told me there was no bad or unusual smell, and every individual takes it differently.
I’m sorry to hear that! They have good reviews and seem to price their bags fairly, so this is helpful to know.
I am truly disappointed on their responses , even the dustbag doesn’t look like the normal ones we had. When I asked , they replied, I could go in the store to request for one. Which Hèrmes store do that for u. It’s obvious that they brushing me off. In the end. I think the owner responded nicely.
I am looking at buying something from them - anyone with further experience since 2021? I am a bit wary when I can’t pay with cc…
Hi there, just wondering if you ever purchased from lux_chic_gal_ or lux_chic_vintage? thank you!!
Industry Alert: Please Read & Share: SCAMMER ONES VINTAGE
I’m issuing a serious warning about Ones Vintage, a Hong Kong-based seller who has repeatedly lied to and manipulated clients and resellers — including myself.
My experience, along with that of many others, includes:
• False claims about item condition: I was sold a bag described as brand new, which arrived with visible signs of use. When I raised this, she denied even seeing the bag — despite having listed and sold it herself.
• Fabricated shipping delays: She frequently tells clients their items are “stuck in customs for over a month.” Anyone who regularly ships from Hong Kong knows that this is highly unusual. It’s a pattern she uses to delay accountability and avoid shipping after payment is received.
• Ever-changing excuses: She claims her team is off, she’s not in Hong Kong, or there’s a public holiday — including non-existent ones like Easter in China — just to stall communication and shipment.
• Delays in refunds: Even when she agrees to issue a refund, it takes months and repeated chasing. In my case, she resold the item but still hasn’t processed the full refund.
This isn’t an isolated case. I’ve spoken to multiple resellers and clients who’ve had similar experiences — misrepresentation, delays, excuses, and a complete lack of professionalism.
If you’re considering working with Ones Vintage, proceed with extreme caution. I’m happy to share more details privately if needed.

I purchased from them back in 2024. I was sent additional pictures of the item prior to shipping and the original purchase receipt was included. The item was as described and shipping costs were reasonable. They accept bank transfer. I was overall very pleased with my experience and I would purchase from them again.
