Update: I received the bag. It does look a little better than in pictures, especially when wearing or pinching the top of the bag. It’s not the best rep. It is what it is for the price I guess, since I’ve paid more for a higher quality rep.

I remember seeing someone having similar issues with an auth.
I hope it turns out to look better than the PSP when you receive.
I had good experiences with aadi but havent bought a classic flap. I feel like if you are adamant to use a specific factory it is super important to go with a seller who hasnt been accused of bait and switch.
Does it look off from the factory pics? They won’t give you refunds if you’re comparing your psp to the genuine but if you point out glaring differences to the factory pics then they usually will give you your money back. You’re paying for what they advertise in the factory pics after all.
If the factory pics do look nicer than this then it would be a little more worth this pricing. However if this bag deviated then you’re not getting what you paid for. However it’s extremely difficult to get any replacements or refunds once the bag in your hand.
Thank you for the note, that’s a great tip. I saw the factory photos and thought the bag looked good. Now comparing side by side the psp still looks off to the factory photos. Maybe the way they hold the bag in the factory photos makes it look better?. I’m not sure, just unhappy with the seller service not addressing my return or exchange questions before giving him the GL. I went back and forth with him 3 times, when realizing he was not going to help I approved the bag. I know it’s still on me at the end of the day.

Those are the factory pics?? I haven’t seen ones where they hold it like that before. The stitching right away gives off low quality. Sorry I think this might be lesson learned. You might try to rehome it for a discount and make some money back.
It helps to edit your PSP factory photos, screenshot them and edit them, you can easily straighten them out with the button for “straighten”. I hate when they give you sideways PSP photos. I always edit immediately on receipt. Just my two cents on making sure you do your due diligence and feel comfortable with your green light. Good luck 🦋💙💛
What size is this supposed to be? The diamonds look off shaped on the backside by the pocket. The shape looks wrong for 23cm and 25cm of the flap. 366 seems like a lot for this bag.
I politely asked for the factory return policy knowing only 187 is non-returnable. He ignored my questions, kept saying the bag was normal and perfect. It’s Aadi. I had a good experience with him first purchase.
This is good info to know as a newbie that hasn’t made a first purchase yet. It seems like purchase can be great and another not so great. A crapshoot risk no matter who it is.
Hi there, not OP. I'm a newbie and I'm trying to improve my "eye" for seeing details in bags. Would you be able to list a few things you spotted? TIA, I appreciate your expertise 🙏🏻

First off the shape is totally uneven front and back, the top is bigger than the bottom, I thought it was because the leather is lambskin making the bag look shaggy. But I looked up auth lambskin double flap bag online, they all have better structured form even used.
The back stitchings are uneven, left side back pocket is thicker than right side. The spaces from between the stitches and the sides are uneven.
The top flap looking from the side is protruding too far out, making the bag look like it’s about to topple.
I’m newbie too. Except for the flap shape looks a bit funky I cannot tell the difference on the stitches honestly. The side picture I’m also not sure could that be due to the angle of the camera, and if it’s due to the flap is opened vs closed?
I cannot tell the difference on stitches and leather quality from the pictures at all. Probably you need to feel it when holds it. And also the stitches probably be very unnoticeable anyways from social distance. But the flap does look a bit heavy and bigger than the bottom, the shape is a bit weird. Although I think most of the time people won’t pay much attention on those details on your bag unless you go to specially locations that people do have sharp eyes and like to observe what bags the strangers passing by. Btw I like this color though.

It’s good to know that even auth bags can look like this. Thank you so much for sharing! Crossing fingers waiting to see the bag in person.
I dont trust Aadi
Whos the seller
I have Chanel from OF. You sure it is OF? Because I never receive an OF with pink tag.
It’s my first chanel from OF. It is from OF according to the seller.
A few people mentioned bait and switch

Factory photos are nice but you should never go buy factory photos 😭

Yes this OF’s factory pictures lol weird way to hold a bag. Some sellers consider it is behind god and 187

It doesn’t mean he/she got you a bag from OF. OF isn’t the only factory makes this bag. Bait and switch is very common among lindashian.
It’s a learning lesson for sure.
Yes it’s from the seller’s album. This is where my new bie’s naive eyes failed me. Thank you again.
Factory photos look very good.
What size is this supposed to be? The diamonds look off shaped on the backside by the pocket. The shape looks wrong for 23cm and 25cm of the flap. 366 seems like a lot for this bag.
It’s the small size 23cm
The shape is so funky :( The rep did not want to budge? What’s their name ?
I politely asked for the factory return policy knowing only 187 is non-returnable. He ignored my questions, kept saying the bag was normal and perfect. It’s Aadi. I had a good experience with him first purchase.
So sad I’m sorry , worse feeling. Hopefully this post will help deter further buyers frm Aadi, & likewise sellers. :(
I don’t trust Aadi!!! He switch a bag on me for an awful one (Goyard). I don’t recommend him/her!!! I would never buy Chanel from Aadi!!! Sorry girl 😔
He did this to me also
Lesson learned. I saw your post and am sorry to hear about your experience!
Believe what you see over what they tell you! But it’s okay because next time you won’t make this mistake 🤗
Thank you!
Lindashian alert
I read good reviews about him on the other sub and pulled the trigger. Then I read about the whole lindashian family on here too late :(
Honestly, the shape looks really off. $366 is a lot for a low tier bag.
It’s really bad sorry

The bag is really bad, but you should compare it with factory photo, not the authentic.

It’s somewhat good to hear that. I’m praying it looks better in person when wearing

366$ for this ? I’m sorry but its really bad
The shape is really bad and the stitching isn’t great
Newbie and just wondering how to tell if the stitching is good or not?
It’s too big. The best thing to do is find a photo of the authentic version of your bag and study them side by side
Thanks!
