Japanese resellers are not full proof. Some inauthentics can also slip through and sometimes an authentic bag is not as described 😢

Great point you raise here! For sure some japenese re-sellers are not as professional as others and even the very big well known ones can have bags fall through the cracks. I just tend to stick with a few select ones ive shopped with in the past and when i deviate to a new seller such as with my Saint Cloud GM epi i got scared so i got that bag pre-authenticated and it checked out luckily!

This is such a great video … it should be a primer for anyone looking to start dipping their toe in the preloved / vintage resale market. I recognize so many of your mistakes, as I’ve made them myself. I wholeheartedly agree that most of my negative experiences have been with private sellers vs the big resale / auction businesses in Japan. One of my biggest pet peeves is sellers who don’t disclose all the bag’s damage in photos. I ran into a problem with someone who sold me a Lady Dior hobo bag who did this … the pen marks on the interior of the bag were ridiculous. Definitely proceed with caution!

Hello! As Dani O mentioned in her comment there are also a few bad eggs such as inathentics and not as described which can slip through the cracks with the bigger professional japanese resellers but so far i tend to stick with the sellers ive used in the past and it usually is a much less stressful interactions. Also same with some Asian IG re-sellers that ive used many times. Its when i tend to deviate from my usual sellers that i run into trouble and that is usually random private sellers or smaller random japanese sellers. Definately agree on proceed with caution

I bought a Vuitton Coussin bag from a private US seller on eBay once and it was horrible. It was a great price and I jumped on it especially since it was guaranteed by eBay authentication. The seller shipped it to eBay for authentication and I got notification that the bag stinks of cigarette odor and was asked if I wanted it. I declined the bag because I HATE cigarette odors in anything. eBay shipped the bag back to the seller and the seller emailed me messages insulting me about the whole ordeal. Thank goodness eBay protected me and I didn’t lose any money or get stuck with a stinky bag.

Good lessons learned. One time in Japan I bought a fake bag thinking there was no way it was fake cause it came from a Japanese seller. I felt in my gut that it wasn’t real but like you I had so much fomo I convinced myself I was wrong. It was hard to ask the right questions also because the staff didn’t speak English and I didn’t want to insult them by acting like they were selling fake merchandise. I eventually got my money back after many months of fighting the chargeback.

Something similar happened to me but online. I was under the impression that there are strict counterfeit laws in Japan so you’re safe buying luxury items from there. I placed a bid for a bag that looked real in the photos but it wasn’t getting much bidding action. I also had a gut feeling but I still went for it. I won the biding and got it for a super good price (now I know why) and when I got it, it was clear that it was a fake as soon as I opened the packaging. This was my first experience buying from a Japanese auction site. I’ve had better luck after that but I’m still waiting on PayPal to hopefully give me my money back.

I have fomo too! I just fomo-ed a preloved denim Chanel mini Deauville but it needs to be cleaned. I’ve been buying denim bags preloved and cleaning them myself with a toothbrush for years. However I buy off Fashionphile mostly because they have a return policy where as long as I return within 20 days I’m good. Have you thought about doing a video on how to tell a bag has been painted? I had Leather Surgeons spa 2 of my vintage Chanel’s and yes they had to add pigment because it was so faded. Sometimes I wonder whether I should have spa them but I wasn’t happy with how worn they were.

So far I wouldnt saw im knowledgable enough yet to make a video on the topic of painted bags, that could be a topic for the future as I learn more about it. But my friend on the purseforum pointed out to me the texture on the surface as you can see the little cracks and creases and parts which have lifted from the paint when she was telling my that my white Chanel was painted. So those are the elements i look out for now. I dont necessarily have a problem with painted bags as long as its properly disclosed which in my case it wasnt

@@LadyVintageBags I think I also read a few posts on the PurseForum about this. Sometimes if you inspect the stitches you can see paint on them. I definitely feel a change in texture after getting back my bags from the LS spa. They did not touch in the interior of the bags so I have a comparison as the interior feels very velvety vs the exterior where it has been cleaned and touched up feels less so.

I think the ebay seller with your Chanel bag was intentionally deceptive in not disclosing something like a hole. I would have asked for a full refund. Is ebay offering the Authenticity Guarantee in AUS? It's kind of newish in the states and requires sellers send their bag to an ebay authentication center to check authenticity and match of description disclosures.

I think you’re being way too hard on yourself.

I think it’s on the seller to be honest or provide a full refund.
