An Angry Louis Vuitton Unboxing From Fashionphile

[@KatieLuxe]

The glazing on leather strap looks sketchy (too bright red). It may be the lighting but make sure the strap is authentic.

[@ShesThePosh]

Appreciate the advice. It’s not as red in person. I think it’s my ring light maybe.

[@beebeeme2023]

girl check the pictures! cause I went through this with fashionphile before cause if you look at the disclaimers on some of the photos it sometimes says picture from a similar item! and I was able to argue that they misrepresented the actual condition of the bag. Of course up to you but if that bump bothers you now it might irk you later 😕

[@ShesThePosh]

Thank you for the advice! Ugh I use to love fashionphile.

[@makeupnmedicine]

Yes I hate that they are doing the bait n switch with photos and disclaimers now.

[@glamluxbykeyla]

It’s so beautiful 😻 I think when you use it it will go back to normal 😊

[@ShesThePosh]

Thank you I have it stuffed right now. Going to give it a few days. Had it since Friday. 🤞🏻 I think it’s going to be alright just so pissed on how they packaged it

[@plannerscoffeelv]

I have the loop bag and I love it! You might be able to have FASHIONPHILE give you a discount as they shipped it to you improperly stored. My zipper i got directly from lv is a little bumpy. But I don’t have a problem with it as it’s not noticeable when you’re wearing it. I hope you keep it! I also love it with the utility strap ❤

[@ShesThePosh]

Thank you for letting me know that. I’m leaning more towards keeping it. I have it stuffed right now and going to see how it does in a few days

[@neverthesamelovetwice]

Bad storage is a bag’s worse enemy. I’ve been shopping eBay more and more with them doing authenticity guarantee. Good luck, it’s a super cool bag.

[@ShesThePosh]

Thanks for the tip. I usually only shop for vintage bags on there but I’m going to need to check it out more.

[@gdkarma]

I've noticed in the text is where they mention that the pictures on the model are of a similar item, but I always took that to mean just the mannequin picture. So I sure hope that doesn't mean ALL the pictures. I haven't purchased from them in a while but clearly how they are storing some of these bags needs some work! I hope the wonky bit relaxes with use. Maybe if it doesn't you can take it into LV and they might swap it for you 🤷‍♀️

[@ShesThePosh]

Wow I never noticed that. On the ones I’ve seen it’s say professional photos of the item being sold. I need to look more closely now. Thank you for letting me know that 😳 hope they don’t start doing what the real real does. I stopped buying from them for that reason

[@andreav2175]

Overall I’m just seeing the mannequin shot vary. Yeah I hope they keep it to that as it’s mostly a Scale shot. (I understand not spending time showing how every Speedy B fits but we don’t like it! Yoogi’s is still putting in the effort. 👍🏻) In older bags you can tell how much better or just different the mannequin bag looks. On new styles like this, argh. 🧐

[@todaystomorrow2545]

I ordered a nano speedy from fashion file last year - total fail. They claimed it was excellent condition but when received it wreaked of severe perfume and mildew. I have the loop and it shouldn’t be bumpy, mine is not.

[@ShesThePosh]

ugh odors are the worse! Thank you for letting me know. I have it stuffed and am going to give it a few days and see what happens.

[@mothermoon3873]

It’s beautiful congratulations ❤ my guess it will straighten out . I have had that happen . Enjoy that gorgeous bag ❤❤

[@ShesThePosh]

Fingers crossed!

[@andreav2175]

The Loop is so cute! Looks good on you. Agree on the canvas strap! Hopefully stuffing it will help enough. And we know some new LV from the shop can be wonky in new and depressing ways.🤷🏻‍♀️ Boo Fashionphile! They didn’t disclose a mildewy smell and I had to return a limited edition I loved. They’re so inconsistent! Thought since they mention Smell on some listings?… 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@ShesThePosh]

They use to be my go to! I’ve been buying from them since the eBay days. 😒 sad to see how much they’ve changed. It’s been 3 days stuffed and it’s starting to look better. I’m leaning toward keeping it

[@andreav2175]

@@ShesThePosh They were my go-to too! 🙁 Parent company Neiman Marcus is having financial difficulties. Can only guess staffing and processing are taking a hit at FP too. Hopefully it’s temporary!

[@BeXquisite444]

Where did your bag ship from, NY or Cali Fashionphile location? The reason I ask is because although I get my stuff quicker when shipped from NY, I noticed the care in package my items is not the same, more sloppy and not as much care with the items.

[@ShesThePosh]

It was from NY! Thank you for the tip I haven’t bought from them in awhile and now I don’t think I m going to again this year. So disappointed! 😒

[@bargain.hunting.blonde]

Such bad storage! I hope it comes out and they should have disclosed that

[@ShesThePosh]

Exactly! Who stores bags like that?!

[@fuchsiafloyd]

Not cool Fashionphile!!

[@ShesThePosh]

I know right?! I have it stuffed now so 🤞🏻

[@LVCoffeeLVer]

Not cool they sent it like that. Issue aside, it’s so you!

[@ShesThePosh]

I know! So shocking!! Thanks I do love it

[@viva5526]

There is NO guarentee you are getting an authentic bag. Be careful.

[@mommyface2675]

Listen, I’m gonna tell you now if it ain’t perfect send it back because LV does not warrantee any item that is not on your LV account so if you need something on this big repair, it’s going to cost you big bucks I just took in a key six keychain holder they wanted 200 to do the re-glaze and 100 for the button. A brand new one is 325 so think about it now

[@ShesThePosh]

Wow that is insane. I hunt bought new from them in over a year and I think that’s how I’m going to be. These prices with crap quality. Not worth it.

[@mommyface2675]

@@ShesThePosh I agree I think I’m done too

[@nikkib7442]

Is your bag real ? Your strap looks too reddish .

[@ShesThePosh]

It’s real got it from fashionphile. Sometimes my ring light makes things look washed out or the color off.

[@melissaamezcua4346]

Looks fake to me 😮🫣

[@ShesThePosh]

What makes you think that? 😯
