My first purchase from ELady! Had a brief scare that this may not be real, even though I had it authenticated on tPF pre-purchase, but made it to a boutique last night, and am getting the key cloche heat stamped (they had to send it away since they don't do it in-store at that location) so I'm resting assured that it is authentic. Less than a week from order to delivery and in wonderful condition. I am thrilled with this seller.

Edited to add: Wanted to clarify that this pic was taken prior to the boutique visit, thus the presence of the cloche.

Is that brand new? It is stunning! What did she rate that bag.

Thanks, ladies. I'm trying not to freak out and rush to return. I read through most of the old threads regarding getting rid of smell from LV. Right now Eva is in a ziplock bag with some tissue paper sprayed with febreeze. I also threw in several dryer sheets. I will let it sit for a few days and see what happens. Will probably try newspaper and baking soda next. I'm crossing my fingers and toes! Don't want to return her. Did I mention she's MIF?!

I read that someone used a sneakerball and it worked great.
She put the sneakerball in the bag zipped it up for a week then took it out and aired out the bag because the bag now smelled like the sneakerball (it's a mint smell I think) and she said her bag was good as new.. Worth a try. Always a bummer when you love a bag and there's a smell..

You must be so bummed - sorry!:sad:
But do look into removing the smell before rushing to return - I thought I read on the forum recently that someone put a tennis ball in the bag - it removed the bad odor though they then had to do some additional airing out to remove that scent :smile1:
I think someone else may have said to stuff with newspaper ? Look on line, I am sure you can find some info - good luck and let us know!

Have you been able to get extra photos of a bag from elady? If not, would you purchase a bag without all the acquired pics to get in authenticated? I haven't bought anything from elady before so not sure how reliable it is about selling only authentic LVs.

I've seen some posts that said they did send additional pics, but I think it just depends. Based on the reviews, I went ahead since you have 14 days to return. (You pay return shipping though) I'm still waiting on final response on here and from Authenticate4u (they haven't responded yet, I just received an auto reply about how they are backed up) But I'm pretty confident my bag is authentic and taking to LV on Thursday to see if they can help as well. I will say this, my bag was rated B, and it looks brand new! Hope this helps!

They replied that they cannot send any additional photos cos the bag is already in their storage ready to be shipped :( I was also thinking about that they are quite trusted on reselling authentic items and also the bag that I'm interested in is rated as B and looks almost new in the pics!! It's just quite a big risk to take since I will have to pay 24% tax + the return shipping if it were to be a fake...

They are pretty reputable. I haven't had any issues with them and will only order from them for pre-loved bags.

Got my second bag from ELady today. :woot:Just as beautiful as the first! I'm now on a ban, :shucks: but certainly see more bags from them in my future.

Need some insight ladies (or gents)

I have two Damier Ebene Saleya's. One is PM that I got from ELady the other is GM that I got from eBay seller with a score of 100% I'm a little concerned because the hues seem different. Once is lighter and shiny and one is darker and matte almost. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is this a common thing amongst this canvas?

I'm no expert, but looking at your photos, it appears that the handle on the GM is on backwards. As for the difference in canvas, that can vary. I've had 5 DE bags/SLGs, and not all shades and textures matched identically. Still, you may want to have your bags authenticated. Good luck!

I noticed the same backwards thing now that you mentioned! I'd have them checked somewhere.
