Making the Blog easier to use.

Well the blog has grown alot since I started blogging on a whim a little over a month ago! With so many new users and so much information to sort through I thought it might be wise to add some simple tools to make it easier to navigate arouns the site.

The Comments Section  has been enhanced a bit. Now when you click on the comment link under a post, the comments will open in a small window (pop-up) above the current page. This will ensure that a. you don't navigate away from the page and lose your spot. and b. will make it easier for you to reference information in the post, or in previous comments.

I also added the Search This Blog tool (upper right hand search bar). This will allow you to type in specific titles, websites, keywords etc of our previous posts and discussions.  This only works however if the information you are looking for has been discussed previously.

Easy to Email Posts to friends. Under each post is an "Envelope Icon" you can use this forum to send articles you want your friends to read directly to their email addresses etc.

Because of the nature of our blog...and the importance of confidentiality I have decided NOT to add the followers list on the site. Rest assured...I will not post information on who is following our site.

I will keep on working to improve Our Blog!

Please Keep reading and Enjoy!


I hope this helps!!!

Coach Replicas ~~~~~

Hello Coach Lovers!

This site may not be for you.....

I can't review anything regarding Coach. Mainly because I really do not know anything about Coach. Also because I don't see the point in buying a Coach Replica. All the Coach Replicas I have glanced at, while trying to get to the Gucci next to it...are priced exactly in the same range as the High-End Designer Replicas....so why not just get the Original?

I'm just saying?

No offense to any Coach lovers out there...I just got a couple of requests and I am sooo sorry to say I cannot help! I wish I could but I can't.

Side Note:

Please don't get me wrong. I think Coach is a great designer and the bags and their quality are great! I love the styles etc. Great stuff. I'm just not that into it for buying. For myself. Thats all. The Replicas anyway. Nothing personal.

Ok...I just had to say that.

Happy Reading to all.

Wait to buy these bags.....

I love this bag! Want one so bad I can't breath when I see it.

BUT....

None of the sites...none...have a perfect replica of this bag.
If minor details are not an issue for you then do not worry about this minor flaw and please buy the bag. Everything is 7star quality ( on our tried and true sites...and a few others not yet posted)  except on tiny detail.....

The Zipper Pull. Yes!!! The zipper Pull. In this bag I think it's so key...see for yourself.

So lets investigate together!!

Here is the link to the actual bag above on the Louis Vuitton website.
http://www.louisvuitton.com/us/flash/index.jsp?direct1=home_entry_us

Zoom in and really look at the detail on the zipper pull. In particular you are looking at where round hook goes through the hole on the pull.

Now look at these sites :

Site Review ~ www.TOPREPLICA.net .....is a no! Please Give Reviews!!!

I'm sorry. I have seen so many comments on TOPREPLICA.net and how it looks like a good and great site. Yeah, I don't see that. At all. Infact....it's horrible.

Okay, horrible is harsh. And it is indeed possible that the quality of goods they carry is actually very good but I kinda doubt it.
I mean don't get me wrong, they have a great selection, the prices are beyond cheap and sure they show a couple of views for each of their bags.

That being said, most of what I looked at....was (for lack of a better word) Plastic-y. Yes. Plastic-y. I can't describe it any other way.

Judge for yourself and take a look at these links:

The following bags were never made in this color....

I did not bother reading their policies or checking out any online complaints. Some poor folks might have bought from here and could be very happy. I can't do that.

If YOU think this site has any potential - please let me know. In the meantime this site is going on our bad list!!!

It would be great to hear from our regular readers if anyone has ordered and is happy with this site. Or just what you think about the links I posted.

Good looking out Michelle! Your comment about the quality of these bags made me take a second look!

Who carries the best 7STAR Replica Handbags???

Hmmmm....

Who carries the best quality products?

The question is between RUNWAYHANDBAGS.NET and CNREPLICABAG.COM.
The answer applies to every site we discuss.......
Simplest answer would be, I think they are equal!

See, most of these sites we peruse each day share common vendors or sources to purchase thier goods. For example I think CNREPLICABAG.com might actually be the producer of a lot of the bags on the market (Hence the cheaper than normal price) I'm not sure. It's really hard to say who carries a better product.

I sometimes feel more comfortable ordering from RUNWAY because they only carry 7Star replicas. Meaning they can't mess up my order and give me 5star (or less) by mistake. However CNREPLICA carries such a large variety of bags, shoes and other items....I can't help but buy from there as well. CNREPLICA is also great if you are getting a singular item as everything is so cheap.

How to choose the best site?:

I would say NEVER buy a bag on impulse. Period.
When you determine your bag of choice, you should then visit all of our trusted sites and review the pictures, desription and prices of the said item. Take a look at the actual bag when possible or at least visit the Designer Website and take note of the specific details of the bag (zipper, hardware, lining, stitching, labels, engraving etc ). Use this criteria to determine which site to order from. Simple.

It has taken me literally weeks to decide on and actually buy a bag from any one site.

I love both sites almost equally for the reasons previously mentioned. Runway has a very slight (microscopic) edge over CNREPLICA...and thats just because I like their website layout and pictures much better. Makes for happier shopping.

Please follow you instincts and do your research!!!

Good Luck in your quest to buy the best 7STAR Replica!!!

I'm Back!!!

First, let me apologize to all of you for having not communicated with you in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately a family emergency required  a trip abroad to handle several pressing issues.

Luckily all is well and it's back to OUR wonderful Blog!!!

Everyone has been super busy! Lots of comments and ideas. I also see that some of us have been shopping! Yay!!!
I am going to catch up on all our conversations, and post updates to our earlier disccussions! Please be patient with me as I respond to all the questions etc on our various past posts. I hope to get through it all and get us up to date by the end of the week.

Just incase anyone needs it my email addres is : thereplicaguru@gmail.com ~~~ Feel free to email me anytime!

I have missed you all and it's great to be back!

Sending happy wishes your way!!!

www.cnreplicabag.com - Tweed pink Chanel 2.55 / Part 1

Alrighty!

After browsing for what seemed like hours at my local Chanel free standing boutique, I decided on a couple of bags that I must add to my collection.

Check out the bag below:

Pink Tweed 2.55 Fall 09 Collection!

I loved this bag as soon as I saw it. At first I considered the grey version but finally I settled on this pretty little thing.

Here is a direct link to the site:

Check out the views and tell me what you think!

Placed the order today, I'll keep you posted on any communication!

Cheers - more to come-

www.runwayhandbags.net ~ Louis Vuitton Lurex Bluebird / part 1

I just ordered this fab - LV Lurex Bluebird!

From the Sping 2009 show collection, this bag is not only rare, but is a true gem! Sold Out every where it retailed for $4500.

I bought it from RUNWAY for one simple reason. The contruction and attention to detail is spot on! Totally worth the $299. You get free shipping and a Tiffany "something or the other" as well!

Just a snap shot of what I got:

 https://www.runwayhandbags.net/LOUIS_VUITTON_MONOGRAM_LUREX_BLUEBIRD-3435.html#

Click on the link above for great pictures that focus on detail, and construction. The interior is also very accurate. Fingers crossed that the real deal looks like this!!!

ps: I placed the order yesterday. I will keep you all abreast of all communication etc.

This is a pretty rare bag, that several sites have had difficulty replicating.

Bags I just ordered and where I got them - Introduction

Hello all!

I have had the busiest two weeks of travel, entertaining and shopping! Crazy stuff! Anyhoo, I am back with a lot of great information to share with you all!!!

First off -

I have great photos and links to some websites that I have placed new orders from. It took a lot of research, and window shopping...but I think I have found some great options so stick with me! I am going to do a series of mini blogs so it will be easier to find in our archives for new readers.


As promised, I am placing several orders from various sites both tried and true, and never been tried before. Then we will track the orders and see what happens. For most of my orders I use Western Union, however for those I feel uncomfortable with etc..then it's Credit Cards or Paypal.


Well enjoy!

UPDATE: Interior Pics Good and Bad!

Hello,

I found some good pictures to reference an earlier post about the interior quality of a Replica Bag.

The GOOD:

Perfect - Mirror Image. (Outside View)

....Next

Perfect Interior - Mirror Image (Except that card envelope)

You can barely see it in the interior photo above but some interior detail you should note is the cowhide trim around the inside pocket. The Key Ring...all good signs.

The Bad ( Just for reinforcment) ...

Exterior Pic- Poor Quality

a.The Graffiti detail should not have so many spaces between letters.

b. I also think the print should be smaller...just a bit.

c.This bag also seems a bit smaller..something is wrong with it but I can't place it.

d. the "red" trim on handles look very thick?

Interior - Poor Quality

I can't even comment on this interior again. It's so blatant like we are stupid or something!!! It's pretty...sure. But not Mirror Image. Please dont.

Know your bag before you buy!

Comments? Does this help?

Ebay Designer Bags.Replicas or real?

I read a great question from one of our readers and I thought it wise to expand on the topic.

As I think we all know, Ebay is a site that allows random individuals post their goods for sale in a public forum. Ebay's laws do not allow anyone to sell fakes, replicas etc of any kind of item. If  Ebays people see such auctions they are removed and the seller is blocked from ever selling on the site again. Selling Replicas on Ebay is NOT allowed.

But...

There are tons...yes tons of people who list Fake Designer bags as authentic items. Please Beware!!!

If you cannot buy the authentic bag for $1500.00 do not buy the Ebay "authentic" version for $750. I can assure you, that bag is a 7Star Mirror Image bag...or worse. And your out $750.00.

Are there super cheap designer bags sold on Ebay? Yes.

But...

For the most part the bag is an old bag from several seasons ago and is likely used. (This is not a bad thing)
Certain designers Never Ever have discounted or clearance sales...the most Famous? Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Chanel. Always full priced no matter what.

Some sellers might say, they buy the manufactuer defects. Defects do not exist for these High End designer bags. All of them - Gucci, Dior, LV, Chanel. Fendi. Versace, Balenciaga, Prada, Hermes...whatever,  DESTROY any bags with ANY imperfections!!! We are talking $1500 bags! Of course they destroy the poorly made ones!
So when anyone tells you this rubbish....laugh and run!

If you want a low cost Designer Original - Wait for annual sales, Outlet Sales,  department store and private online sales like Gilt, HauteLook etc ( See post in September Topics for details). Or, check out your local  designer consignment boutique. Otherwise ...full price or replica.

Some Ebay sales are authentic. I am not knocking them all. However a majority are not worth the trouble.

Good Luck everyone in your quest for the perfect bag!

Thanks Alba for that fab question!!!

If pictures of the inside of the bag are not shown...

If a good replica and a bad replica cost the same....why not get the good replica!

I prefer when I can see every last detail of a bag before I ever attempt a purchase. For me the inside is just as important as the outside. I need to be able to grab my wallet or keys and still feel like no one can tell I am carrying a replica.

From the Outside this bag might look ok... (It's not by the way)

The inside is not what it is meant to be!

the interior of this bag should be the same interior as a standard speedy. That would be a dark tan like colored cotton (textile) lining.

If pictures of the interior are not shown I would assume...it's not a Mirror Image of the original.

I'll find some pics to compare and will post.

Purple YSL Shoes- From my collection

These YSL shoes were bought from http://www.cnreplicabag.com/ back in July or so of this year. I got this purple and a black version as well. I havent worn these yet.

These shoes are a great example of a well made replica- everything from the box to the shoe is perfect. Close up on the shoe you can see some imperfections, but really ...your feet would have to be in the inspectors face for them to see it!

I think these shoes are great and are very well made. Its a 4.5 or 5 inch heal.

Site Review ~ www.vougeladies.com - Has potential ...

This is a site that I'll continue to watch. Nice selection of bags...I saw a couple that maybe were a little ??? on details but otherwise...not bad.

Someting about the layout of the site or something makes feel a little uncomfortable about this place. I did the standard complaint searches however and nother came up.

I checked out the bags and really for the most part they look alright. I mean they have the usual show pieces mixed in with the actually made stuff.

Chanel bags - are as usual a combo of the good and the bad, (don't buy any of the 2.55 styles.).
Gucci-  had all the Gucci lookin' stuff, alright but nothing special. 
Prada - looked pretty good to me. I liked the choice of bags,some of the best looking bags I've seen on Prada in a while.
Miu-Miu - had some new styles- not bad at all.
Versace - I really can't tell with the Versace. The patent leather that she has been using in her collection...kinda makes everything look fake. What do you guys think?
Fendi - Also looked good. It's hard for me with Fendi they used to be my very best handbag designer but since the spy bag nothing special has come out of this house. But if your into any of the styles check it out.
Burberry - The Cartridge Pleat Bag, has been a bag that I've wanted this season. They have em on this site...but I don't know if those colors were actually made. I'll stop by the Boutique this afternoon and ask. I really want the Patent Leather.

Cartridge Pleat Tote in Blue

They also have this Burberry Trench on the site:

at $350 they claim its Authentic. (Good luck with that) But it does look good.

No real current updates with YSL. The bags they did list look good though.

They take Credit Cards!!! And of course the standard Western Union, Paypal etc! Shipping is free to several countries!!! Yay~!

The prices on the site look good.

Lets keep an eye on this site. If anyone buys from here please let us know!

Thanks Edel for finding this site!

Site Review ~ www.replica-purses.com - A Big NO!!! 3STAR Bags or worse.

Checked out this site and no WE cannot buy anything from this site!!!

First of all - You pay what you get for. While I don't favor paying an arm and a leg....bags this cheap are poorly made.
Next - Too many poorly made Fake-Fakes. Pink versions of Louis Vuitton bags that have never been made is not good. Lol
Finally- The. details don't match up on almost any of the 15 bags I sampled on this site.

Rule of thumb -

Ok, so it's true the people we buy from have to buy thier bags from somewhere. While I think they get them for nice cheap prices...I doubt for many of them that the bags are marked up so much. So when you see a site where the most expensive replica bag is $52 bucks. I'd stay away from it by defult.

I kinda have a feeling this is where the Dude who sells bags out of his car gets them!

The more we discuss the do's and don'ts of Replica sites the better chance we can get the best bags ever!

Thanks to Alba for sharing this site with us! Keep'em coming!
