I'd love to have the Prada bag, but I've had difficulty in finding a replica looks authentic. I know that the majority of folks where I live probably wouldn't know the difference anyway, but I am a little anal; I can deal with a flaw or two, but that Fairy bag is more than I can handle.

Speaking of the XS Mahina, I have wondered if it is too small for my frame. I don't know how to put this well, but I'll give it a shot - I love the Mahinas, but something about the XL and the XXL really bug me. It isn't so much the shape, but I hate the part of the bag where the handles meet the actual bag. I really love almost everything about the XS, but I wish it was bigger.

Thank you, Star! I SOOOOO know what you mean about that Prada. If a person hadn't ever handled a real one, or at least seen detailed photos, and bought that bag off a street corner, they'd be PISSED.

I understand not liking a particular detail on a bag and then just saying to hell with the whole thing. Is it a detail you notice more with one color than another. The black bag obfuscates that particular to detail fairly well so you can still enjoy the whole Mahina effect, I think.

Thanks! Glad you're posting and getting involved. Was that a Kimora Lee Simmons reference? Because I LOVE her!!!

Thank you, Polar!! Please don't let this post be your last! Jump in and enjoy RG like everyone else does!

Did that sound like a pitch for a cult or just really enthused?

Great write up, especially for those looking for Christmas gift ideas

. Thanks for sharing Posh.

Omg amazing post. I've been searching for a while for an accurate replica of the XL Vuitton Mahina in Black. Excluding the bottom feet, how accurate would you rate the rest of the bag compared to the gen. Does the leather feel the same?

**DVS** · 11-14-2008, 08:53 AM

the Mahina is one of the best rep bags available!!

I got one for my gf from Catty and it is 1:1 with the gen in look and feel.

I'm glad you found it enjoyable and helpful, Neutral. Many members of RepGeek make the time taken in writing and gathering the information for these posts (sometimes using my corporate resources clandestinely

) completely worth it. You've now become one of them.

And it looks like DVS has answered your question AND has even given you another option as to a source from which to get your new Mahina. You are set, for now. Enjoy!

Update: Ordered the Mahina XL black from Runawaybags. Amazing stuff! Even corrected the 5 feet problem. Loving the bag, thanks to the detailed information found in this thread. Time to read all the other posts!

This might be a silly question, but who knows where to get a good Chloé Paddington rep? Preferably a tan one. I've been looking all over the place but most of them just seem off somehow, and I'm not a Chloé expert by far, so I thought I'd ask here!

This is amazing in that it's something unexpected. I remember seeing this in a magazine and almost fell out of my chair!

Any site that has detailed pictures so you can compare it to the real thing. Sometimes hardware is the most glaring thing on this bag so that has to be seen closely and studied.
