Hi all,
Has anyone dealt with pinklattelux? please let me know your experience. Several bags are noted to have bababebi auth report but she doesn't picture that and won't show on request. thanks

I do not know this reseller, BUT I caution you with any of the IG resellers, ESPECIALLY the ones that won’t disclose the true pieces of information you need for authentication. They could watermark or whatever they want. But if they won’t send you the certificate they have and the date stamp so you can confirm they match, run away and fast. Read my experience a few posts up.

Thank you so much TeeCee. I saw your post and don't think I'll ever buy from an IG seller...This seller is on ebay (maybe IG as well)? I trust bababebi without question and would feel comfortable with this sellers bags but she won't send me a picture of the certificate. She says that she is concerned that it may be used fraudulently if she sends, and I do get that. Perhaps I should just put the post on the auth thread and see if bababebi feels auth.

Buyer beware of IG reseller luxestyle_my.
Here is my story. Use your best judgment.
Against my better judgment, I inquired about a bag this seller had listed for sale. I first inquired on the price, which was almost too good to be true (flag no. 1). Seller gave decent explanation for the price and the bag was not new, so I requested pictures. Photos were a bit blurry, but appeared to check out. I am a firm believer in secure payment methods when dealing with unknown sellers. I inquired about using a credit card, but learned buyers have no protection when using third-party websites like transferwise. Good to know. I was kind, but expressed my concern. Seller suggested PayPal, and I bit. At least with PayPal I have recourse as long as purchased as a vendor transaction if the bag never came or was deemed a fake. I asked for a photo of the date stamp before I would proceed.
Due to the time change and the IG sellers explanation it took three days for me to receive a PayPal request for the money. The first request was labeled for a "Rolex Watch." Seller explained this was a typo (flag no. 2). No worries, I noted the error and asked that it be corrected to accurately reflect the item I was buying. Seller did correct the money request. I again asked for a picture of the date stamp, indicating I would need that to proceed, but that I would make payment immediately upon receipt. I was sent a picture of a date stamp, BUT the stamp was (1) from a different size bag than the one I was purchasing (2) had the wrong year code from when I was told the bag was purchased and dated and (3) had a different color resin from the prior pictures I received (flag nos. 3, 4, and 5). The seller explained that the bag's owner must have sent the wrong picture and that the date she had told me was a typo (she also immediately deleted the date stamp photo). Ok, I again asked for a photo of the date stamp for the bag I was purchasing along with a photo of the receipt. I was told they dont typically send those photos until the transaction is complete (flag no. 6). At which point I canceled the transaction.
To all those buyers out there I caution you to beware and use your best judgment. I dont know for certain that I would have been scammed or that these were not just honest mistakes, but they triggered my spidey senses. Do no be afraid to ask for date stamp images and question the authenticity of a bag. This is your money and you should not feel bad for wanting to be sure.
After I graciously thanked seller for her time and explained I no longer felt comfortable with the transaction, luxestyle_my threatened to spread my name to all the IG sellers (flag 7)! I will be sticking to my lovely SA and trusted well-known resellers from now on.

As if I needed any further confirmation that I made the right decision.... seller wiped their IG page.
Please please please beware of IG sellers without a solid reputation.

Why not just put a watermark on it so no one can steal the image? I think eBay is better in the sense you will have buyer protection if the bag is ultimately proven fake. That’s at least better than through an IG seller. That said, I’ve never done it. Please do let us know if you get the bag and it is authentic. It’s always good to know the good sellers out there.

What's the point of getting authentication if you won't supply the report? Yes, people counterfeit Bababebi certs but I believe she has found ways to address this. I would run from this seller.

Dear ProShopper, the brick and mortlar shop of First Luxury is in a very good location in Singapore. What makes me suspicious me about the store is that it only has three Google reviews. Singapore competitor Luxlexicon (also on IG and with physical store in a less fancy address in the same road) has over 200 reviews on Google. There may be an innocent explanation, but based on this info I wouldn’t feel reassured enough to order to overseas.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has any feedback regarding shopfirstluxury (Instagram) or First Luxury? I found a bag that is gorgeous but I'm nervous about purchasing from overseas (I'm in the US) as I've never made such a large purchase out of country before. Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated!

My „favorite“ reseller The Brand Collector (sarcasm) is selling an „Arzan“ Hermes bag on VC. It looks like an Halzan but he explains that it is smaller than Halzan in the comment. Googling „Hermes Arzan“ I found several resellers offering bags with that name. (Screenshot below) Does it really exist or is it one reseller not doing his homework passed onto the next?

I find that resellers whose English is not their first language may have problems in translation and description - so they would probably try to describe mini Halzan there. I've seen boxcalf leather described as "bock scarf" and sellier as "outside sewing".
