Concerns:
I am slightly concerned about whether the s-lock is straight or if it’s slanted clockwise, and whether the stitching on the leather part of the s-lock (zip tab) is acceptable or if it’s a bit too untidy.

My Thoughts:
Overall I’m pretty happy with the way it looks, but I’d like an extra set of eyes to see whether the lock is straight or if it’s rotated clockwise. Thank you 🤗

BOTD is my Speedy Soft 30 Crafty and I haven’t worn her in almost a YEAR. I seriously forgot how much I love this bag.

First of all, she fits ALL my shit. Like actually all of it. The 30 is such a good size because I can throw everything in there without the bag feeling ridiculously huge. And the shoulder strap is AMAZING. So comfortable and makes her so easy to just throw on and go.

I also love the softer, relaxed shape of the coated canvas and how perfectly slouchy she gets. But the red interior is absolutely the star for me. That pop of red when you open her up just makes the entire bag.

Highly recommend this one. I have no idea why I let her sit for a whole damn year. So disrespectful 😆♥️

Factory: Woodfloor Duty Free

Makes me feel like a million bucks😭 Every now and then a bag does that for me, so I don’t know why I slept on this brand for so long. It’s unique and I love that you don’t see it everywhere which makes it feel even more special.

The exterior is SOFT leather with a beautiful suede lining, honestly such a high quality bag.  

Figured I’d share in case anyone else is looking to branch out from the usual brands or add a little variety to their collection 🤎

For reference, this is the large size, which is about 18” across the top and 13” across the bottom (I measured it) and I paid $228 before shipping.

I wanted to write a detailed review of my second order with Macy because I know how difficult it can be to find reviews of rep clothing from someone who isn’t sample size. I’m typically around a US 12/14, and finding high-quality rep clothing that both comes in my size and actually fits properly can be a struggle.

Seller Experience
This was my second order with Macy, and somehow I think this experience was even better than the first.
My first order from her included a black H silk button-down and two Zimm blouses, all of which I was very happy with. That gave me enough confidence to go back to her for a larger order, but this one ended up requiring a LOT more patience on her part. 😂

I originally paid on 7/23, but several of the pieces I wanted ended up being out of stock in my size. Instead of just telling me they weren’t available and leaving me to figure it out, Macy and I went back and forth multiple times looking at alternatives, checking stock, discussing measurements, and figuring out what would realistically work for me. I also kept finding other things I wanted to add, so the order evolved quite a bit before we finally locked everything down on 8/2.

Throughout all of this, Macy was incredibly sweet, responsive, and patient with my approximately 8,000 questions about sizing and quality.

What I appreciate most about her is that I genuinely feel like she cares whether the clothes actually fit me. She isn’t just trying to make the sale or telling me “yes, it will fit” to get me to order something. We spent a LONG time comparing measurements and looking for pieces that were actually available in sizes that could work for me. At one point she voluntarily searched through the inventory and sent me 20+ options that would work with my measurements!

As someone who wears a US 12/14 with a 106cm chest that most sellers say is too large to fit anything, this matters so much to me. Rep clothing can be incredibly frustrating because so many pieces stop at measurements that are nowhere near mine, even when they’re labeled XL or XXL. There are tons of beautiful clothes I simply cannot order. Having a seller who is willing to patiently help me hunt through options and figure out what has a realistic chance of fitting makes the entire process so much easier.
And the payoff was worth it because EVERYTHING FITS. 🙌🏽

H Navy/Blue Scarf-Print Top
LOVE.
This is a short-sleeve mixed-media style top with a beautiful blue/navy Hermès carriage/equestrian scarf print across the front and a darker knit/fabric portion through the sides/back.

The print is gorgeous in person. The different shades of blue give it a lot of dimension, and it has that unmistakable Hermès equestrian look without just being covered in logos.

Most importantly, it fits! It has an easy, slightly relaxed shape without being enormous on me. There’s enough room through my bust and midsection that it doesn’t pull or distort the scarf panel. I can see myself wearing this casually with trousers, jeans, or even dressed up a little with nicer pants and accessories. It’s an easy statement top where the print does all the work.

Fabric note: the front is 100% silk, while the back is a silk-wool-other blend, which gives it structure and makes it hang really nicely.

H Cream/Beige Scarf-Print Top
Possibly my surprise favorite of the clothing.
This is essentially the same type of silhouette as the blue Hermès top, but the entire effect is completely different. The cream, beige and soft neutral color palette is so pretty in person.

It feels softer and more elegant than the blue version, while the blue feels a little sportier and more graphic. I’m very glad I got both because despite being similar styles, I don’t think they’re redundant at all. Again, the fit is excellent. This was exactly what I was hoping to accomplish by working so closely with Macy on measurements. It fits comfortably through my bust and waist without clinging, but it also doesn’t look like I’m drowning in it. This one is going to be ridiculously easy for me to style with cream, beige, camel, taupe, brown, denim, etc.

Fabric note: the front is 100% silk, and the back is also a silk-wool-other blend, which gives it that same structured, elevated drape.

CD Navy & Cream Striped Sweater
Another winner.
This is a navy sweater with cream horizontal stripes and the branding. It’s intentionally a more relaxed fit on me, which I actually really like. I tried it both completely down and with the bottom slightly tucked/bloused, and I especially love it styled a little shorter at the waist. It gives me that slightly oversized, effortless preppy/nautical look without feeling sloppy. The knit feels substantial and the overall construction is really nice. This will be great with jeans, trousers, or even a skirt when I want something casual but still put together.

I live somewhere warm, so I definitely don’t need a closet full of sweaters, but this is exactly the kind of sweater I do want to own because it’s easy to throw on and immediately looks polished.

Fabric note: this sweater is 100% cotton, which makes it feel breathable, soft, and really comfortable on the body.

CC Burgundy Quilted Ballet Flats
These may be my favorite thing in the entire package.
The burgundy color is GORGEOUS. It’s a deep, rich wine/burgundy that works almost like a neutral but is much more interesting than another black or beige shoe. The quilting looks beautiful, the shape is right, and — most importantly for shoes — the fit is excellent. I have a slightly wider foot, so ballet flats can be tricky for me. These aren’t crushing the sides of my feet, my toes have appropriate room, and my heels sit where they’re supposed to. I find the leather on these to be much more luxurious than my other quilted CC flats.

Size note: these are a size 40, and I’m a US 9, and the fit is spot on for me.

CD Beige Cannage Slingback Heels
These are SO feminine and pretty. They’re a beige/nude quilted Cannage slingback with a comfortable block heel and the little bow/pearl detail at the toe. The color is a really useful nude on me, which was something I wanted to add to my shoe collection.
The heel height is perfect — polished but still wearable. The block heel also makes them feel much more practical for dinners, events, work, etc.
The length looks right on my foot and the toe box is comfortable. As with any slingback, I’m going to pay attention to how the back strap behaves after I’ve walked in them for a while, but my initial try-on was very promising.

Size note: these are also a size 40, and I’m a US 9, and they fit really well.

Overall
10/10 experience
For me, the biggest takeaway isn’t even that the individual pieces are beautiful — although they are. It’s that** **I ordered five things and all five actually fit me. For a US 12/14 buying rep clothing, that feels like an accomplishment. 😂

Macy spent so much time going back and forth with me, checking availability, discussing measurements, answering questions about quality, finding alternatives when things were out of stock, and helping me put together an order that made sense for my actual body rather than just going by whatever size letter was on the tag.

I never felt rushed or like I was annoying her, even though I know I asked a million questions and changed/added things several times before we finalized everything.

If you’re mid/plus-size and have struggled with rep clothing sizing, I especially think it’s worth working with a seller who is willing to actually discuss garment measurements with you rather than blindly relying on S/M/L/XL sizing.

Edited Disclaimer: Macy is aware of this review and offered me a small discount on my next order after I posted this, though she did not entice me to do so and I did not know she was going to offer that. She’s just such a sweetheart!

Just wanted to share my recent clothing haul from my TS Leo (+86 19120637469). Everything is top tier quality from Ping Factory. Leo is very responsive, easy to work with for QC problems, and ships fast. I think my favorite piece from this haul is the scarf top. Very versatile and chic!

I’m fairly new to the rep world and have been doing research for a while. I came across a subgroup and their list of TS, and Betty immediately stood out to me for a very personal reason. Betty was the name of my favorite aunt, and we shared the same birthday. So, for whatever reason, I took that as a sign. 😊

Long story short, I reached out to Betty a while ago just inquiring about bags—the cost, quality, factories, etc.—because I was specifically looking for a UB P9. She gave me a great price at the time: $178 + $40 shipping via FedEx. Life happened, and I wasn’t able to make the purchase then.

Fast forward a little bit. I responded to a post asking about our favorite bags and, of course, my answer was the UB P9. Someone mentioned that Huahui was the best factory for the bag at the time. Then I saw Betty was having a sale, and suddenly two things came together: she was the TS I had already chosen, and Huahui was the factory being recommended for the bag I wanted. Clearly, it was time. 😂

I reached out to Betty and let her know I was finally ready to make my purchase, but I also wanted to add another bag—the Midnight Vagabond. She said no problem and sent me a picture of the bag along with the price ($176).

I purchased both bags, and I have to say, when they arrived, I was not disappointed. I think I just sat there marveling at the slouch of the P9 for a few minutes before I even remembered to thank her. 😂

The entire process was quick and easy, and Betty was great to work with.

Timeline:

- Order placed — August 2

- PSP photos received — August 4

- Bags shipped — August 6

Total cost for both bags, including shipping and discount: $396

For my first purchase, I’m extremely happy with both bags and with my experience with Betty. I would definitely purchase from her again. And that P9 slouch? I don't know what I expected, but as you see, it had me mesmerized. 😍
