First time buyer of MGFT (My GrandFather's Things) and I got a small lambskin Diana from a shark sale (first come, first serve style). This is one of my dream bags and secondhand is the only way I could get it. But I was so scared of the risks that come when buying a preloved bag (it might be fake, the flaws were not fully disclosed, etc.). I found MGFT and started following her on insta. I commented on one of her stories and, to my surprise, she replied back! She has answered all of my questions, even when I wasn't committed to buying or bidding on a bag yet. That's when I knew she was genuine and knew her craft, and decided that I would like to purchase my Diana from her.
Fast forward to now and I finally got one! The shipping was freakishly fast (from HK to US). The package was nicely wrapped so it's well protected and wasn't damaged, at all. I bought a Fluffy to keep its shape, but she included the dust bag, Ferdie, and a thank you card (and a tote but it's a promotion for their birthday month). She was also very patient and understanding throughout the whole process (no snooty attitude!).
In terms of the condition of the bag, I am floored at how amazing she looks for her age (almost 3 decades old!). Of course there are some creasing and the front of the bag caves in slightly but these bag were well loved before. I don't expect them to be perfect, and no one should. But, again, for her age, she's a stunner!
