Got my BV Leather Key Ring, awesome! Can't tell it apart from a genuine one.

Got 4 pairs of RB Wayfarers too. Really happy with them, 2 black, 2 brown.
Packaging, case etc all spot on, metal rods down the arms, sharp markings, overall great and under $20

My Moncler jacket shipped by DHL, hope it won't get caught in current DHL HK mess.

guys, when i tell you that gens & reps all come from the same factories you needa believe me i know this shit

whereas most people are convinced that a made in italy bag is made by old skilled craftmen hand stitching it mm by mm..

So you are telling the crappy LV belt or bags I have bought in the past are from the same factory? I guess we can just stop this thread and everyone can buy from anyone on AE. Find that hard to believe.... So I will wait for reviews from users here on how products are from certain stores on AE

Lol I wouldn't say it comes from the same factory... Otherwise I guess we save hundreds and thousands of dollars! but one of the suppliers I was looking into in China tried to pass me off a watch as a new prototype. I then asked for a sample and they were dumb enough to send me one a company logo on it. I looked up the company, contacted them and found out they used the same supplier after a nice long talk with the owner... And the same factory was pushing out "reps" (would that be considered a rep??) of the same watch.. I hope the company decided to change suppliers.

no offense, but either you have misunderstood my words or you are deliberately twisting it to mock me.
I meant to say that the gens for all garments, clothes, shoes and accessories for a lot of major luxury brands come out from factories in china.The same factories which also sell what we buy as better quality replicas. Mostly those items which do not pass QC for whatever reason.

made in italy, made in france, made in dafuqistan are merely a label they put.

crappy reps are just crappy reps. full stop.

Just received the 3 polos I ordered on 11/11. 2 of them fit pretty much as the first one I got, but the last one fit like it was two sizes up. The gens I have are in M and fit tight. The reps I ordered are all in M and fit snug, not quite as tight as the gens. But the last one that was off fits more like a XL which was dissapointing.

These RL polos and the seller have been linked plenty of times. I advise anyone that's interested to use the search bar.

What size did you get? Is it proper down?

As stated in the post I ordered all in M and fit pretty much like the gen in M. There's only a small difference around the biceps and around the chest. Except from the one of the four I've got from this seller they are so good I don't really see the reason to buy the gen.

European brands have the zipper on the left side (or atleast the North european ones like Helly Hansen, Haglöfs, Peak Performance and Fjällräven). It´s weird for us buying Timberland and such, since it´s on the womens side over here.

So, there is no womens side on clothes. Just different models for different countries!

Oh that's interesting to learn. I had no idea. If anyone wants a good rep of the Patagonia nanopuff, this one is actually pretty solid.

Bullshit and everybody knows it. I am certain that in some factories the items which do not pass the QC are still being sold, be it as reps or gen. But most luxury brands are hesitant to produce in China. China is an important market to sell their products and the rich in Chinese do not want to buy a Chanel bag which says made in China...

I do not want to start a discussion on this subject by the way. So I will not respond to any further posts considering this subject.

Just had a couple things turn up quite fast delivery time tbh! The watch took just over a week. Only ordered this because I saw a retailer on Instagram selling this watch for £120 and I wanted to see what it was all about for £12 pretty sure it's the same watch.
The scarves I ordered on 11/11. They seem good quality no idea on gens they're labeled and quite soft. Not sure what the best test to see if they're cashmere is. Here's the pics
