Hi tPF! I have a big birthday tomorrow and I just picked up this at FedEx! Over the last couple of months I’ve sold off a bunch of bags I didn’t love or use, and bought my dream bag — a reissue 226 so black!! ❤️❤️❤️

It’s from 19k. I got it preloved but in new condition with full set and plastic sticker intact from Vluxestyle. The receipt was just a photocopy and price and bag details were whited out, strangely (not very useful). I’m also surprised it came in a plain black fabric bag. Is that perhaps normal for so black since it’s seasonal?

I have a black 225 with ghw that I bought in Cannes some years ago. Was looking for 226 that time but they didn’t have it, and I got the 225. I love and have used that bag more than any other, but was still longing for an everyday size. And since I’m not a rhw lady, all black it is!

Will for sure get it authenticated, even though it feels and looks authentic to me. Vluxestyle sent along an Entrupy COA, but I’ve read a lot of bad reviews about Entrupy here at tPF so def want a second (human) opinion. I will go with Etinceler since Vluxestyle accepts Etinceler, Leather Surgeon and Entrupy only.

I’ve wrapped it back up and now it’s waiting in my closet for tomorrow. Yay!!! Thanks for letting me share
What was the result? Was it authentic?
 
Have had my eye on this for years but never could decide on bracelets or a watch (I like the look of bangles stacked but hate how they clank around so I was thinking a watch). Was surprised on Christmas Day when I opened this! I also got the black quilted strap which I will be wearing in the winter. I may get the black tweed also for fall/winter :smile: pink strap is so precious
