SOFIA RECOMMENDS
I know you all love my replica handbag reviews, so here’s my latest, this time a foray into the discount world. Colapin-Bag.com is a cheap site with a huge selection. Basically you get what you pay for. Sometimes you’re saving 50% against other replica sites, and they have a ton of designs, but from the bag I got, the service I got, and what I can see on the site you can expect to be 50% farther away from the real thing.
Score: 4.5
1. Quality: I bought the Louis Vuitton replica Artsy bag which everybody knows I have been coveting. In a certain way it should be easy to replicate, but on the other hand it is really all about the texture/colour of the canvas and details so it’s a tough challenge for a discount vendor like this to get it right.
The one I got is an obvious fake. The biggest problem wasn’t actually the canvas (it’s a little off in the colour and stiffer than it should be). The problem was the details, the handle is too short and too flimsy, there is no interior zipper pocket, there was no bag charm with key ring (huge oversight! But maybe they will send me one), The side has these big pockets…Its hard to explain take a look:
Now look at the real one:
You see there is that little seam at the bottom on the real one that sort of keeps helps it keep its shape. Anyway, the other problem is the interior fabric. Its a kind of plastic which is very uncomfortable to the touch.
2. Selection: A lot of designers, plenty of styles. They have the Artsy bag already so you can’t really complain. We all know I’ve been lusting over this bag for what seems like forever. (Maybe you noticed?) I like their Gucci handbags selection and that they have a lot of designers most sites don’t (Gryson, Givenchy, Lancel, Versace for instance). I guess it is easy to have a huge collection when you are not selective about quality.
3. Shipping: My bag came in 15 days—which to be fair is not bad for across the world, but it’s a lot more than the 4-6 days they promise!
4. Return Policy: This is a bit much for me. It doesn’t look like a refund is even possible—I’m not going to pay to ship a bag all the way back to China just for them to send me another crap bag that’s just like the other one. I need to know that I can get a cash refund.
5. Site usability: Great. It’s clearly laid out, makes sense. The search works. I had no trouble getting around.
6. Original Images: I believe so. There’s no reason to suspect they’re not. They’re watermarked; they are consistent; and the bag I received is the one in the picture. Plus I imagine if you were going to steal pictures you would steal ones that are better than that!
7. Service: I received a short but helpful response to my emails the next day. I also got a call to confirm my order, so nothing to complain about here.
My Humble Conclusion:
The long and short of it is I don’t like cheap replica, so I wouldn’t shop here but if money is a big issue or you’re less concerned about getting something that’s exactly like the real thing than this is not a bad option. The prices are pretty cheap, and while it won’t pass for the real thing in some circles it might in others.

Thanks for the review! Keep em commin <3
Thanks Sofia, I had been waiting to hear about this site. Thank you so much for your help!!
Thanks for the review Sofia! You know I’ve been waiting for this because they have that Gucci Galaxy Shoulder bag I absolutely love, maybe I’ll write to ReplicaValley and see if they can get it. I’m with you, I’m a stickler for quality, if I buy it whether its replica or not I want great quality. Especially when I know its out there.
Hope you get a chance to check out the other sites I’ve been bugging you about….LOL I haven’t had any problems with them, but like I’ve said before I’d like your opinion. I hate to prance around with a cheezy bag!
Hey Dee did you get my comments about honeyreplica.com and their Artsy bag? It looks like they have the same problem as Colapin bag. I also asked if you might be interested in writing a review of honeyreplica.com I know that company has quite a few websites and we really need to get a review out about them but frankly I am buried! I don’t know when I will ever get around to it. Let me know!
Hey Sofia!! I thought I responded to this couple days ago, so sorry for the delay, you know I’m here everyday…lol. Anyway, I’ll definitely give it a shot, just have to get another cord for my camera seeing as my dog chewed it up (darn pitbull puppy…lol). I’ll start working on it for you soon! Also I checked it out again and I think its got the seam, I think I might just have to order it and if I’m not pleased it’s going back. Never thought I’d be like this, but I’m going to have to start hiding my bags from the hubby…lol He told me not to bring another bag in the house (guess that means start giving away some of the ones I don’t really love….hmmm NOT I love them ALL!!!
Not a problem Dee, take your time.
Hi Sofia,
I’m new to the world of designer replicas and I’ve just made my first purchase from highreplicamall.com. I purchased a LV Speedy, and two gucci bags. The bags are ok, I don’t think the bags I chose were hard to replicate. All in all I was satisfied with the purchase but now as I read and research more I’m finding out that some customers are satisfied with highreplica while others aren’t. Anyhow, this is obviously addictive and I’m ready to make more purchases!
Have you ever purchased from fashionbagcn? I’m also looking to purchase jewelry and heard that replicatouch.biz was a nice one. I was wondering if perhaps you had any feedback on these two sites before I make anymore purchases.
Thanks!
Replicatouch.biz is a good site I have bought from them before. Especially for jewelry so I definitely recommend that. Fashionbagcn was weird I mean what kind of site doesn’t show you prices until you log in? Just from looking at the artsy bag on Fashionbagcn I can see it is poor quality. The interior fabric is way off and it has the same problem as copalin bag with the seams at the bottom.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes!
I second Sofia.. I also have purchased from Replicatouch.biz and my LV Speedy 35 is Beautiful!
Hi, Sofia,
what is your thoughts about these following sites? I’m looking for a Proenza Schouler replica. It’s being hard to find it.
Best,
Myrtes

Funny you should ask I just had a comment from a reader who just re dived her bag from bagaholic and she is very happy.
hi guys! im from the Philippines and i found this site, http://www.zealreplica.com/proenza-schouler-large-shoulder-bag-ps1-grey-p-8304.html?cPath=204, when i was craving for a Proenza Schouler replica bag (though i’ve already visited bagaholics.com but decided to continue searching for cheaper PS1 replicas). i’ve also chatted with their representative who was very accommodating, honest (she admitted she’s located in China) and who offered unconditional returns. im about to pay the bag when she told me that i can only pay either through paypal or western union since the credit card issuers from our country are not internationally verified. and she emailed me the site’s paypal and western union details. but honestly, i felt relieved that the payment did not push through cause i was having second thoughts if i’d buy the cheaper PS1 replica. so this coming weekend i’ll decide if i’ll continue with my purchase. hopefully, it will end fine.
Don`t trust them Maui, and not only because of their payment methods, but also cuz of the quality of the handbag that I see on their handbags. Those handbags are terribly made, you wouldn`t want to wear that!
thanks a lot Sofia you’re really heaven’s sent!
Sofia isn’t Replicatouch.biz by the same Web owner as ReplicaValley ?
I don’t think so.
Sofia what do you do when you receive crappy bags like this one? They sure get expensive!!! I’d be interested in knowing. Thanks
Some I return some I give as gifts. Because this site doesn’t likely have anything I would want I will probably give it away. Thankfully I have a big family who all like replica so that helps. I am hoping that I will soon start making money with this blog so I can justify the cost.
hi sofia!
i’m glad i asked you about vancofashion.com, i was just about ready to make my purchase from them. like many others here, i’m really all about quality and i guess that’s why i’m still hesistant to take the plunge and go replicalover all the way! i’ve been obsessing lately, going back and forth if i should just get the real thing or get a replica for much cheaper. im thinking that if i’m going to spend 200 dollars on a purse then i may just have to go the extra mile to get the real thing and be guaranteed of quality and value for the money… with 200 dollars i can definitely find a nice orginal purse from another designer, although i really want the LV. is it really worth it buying a replica, like a really good replica? will it last for a lifetime like the originals do?
I don`t know about a lifetime but you can get real quality even in replica.
Hi Diane, like Sofia says you can get really great replicas! I purchased my first LV replica (Elipse) 6 years ago, guess what that bag is still going strong, recently passed it down to my daughter, I bought that bag for like $100 and everyone, I mean everyone thought that bag was the real deal!!! Go replica girl, you’ll love it and can get more bags for the price of 1!! Happy Shopping!
thanks for the support Dee
Hey Sofia!
I foung this site:
http://www.lightinthebags.co.uk
Do you think it is safe to order from there? If not, should I order from poshbagz.com instead? I want to get a chanel cambo wallet!
Thanks!
I make it a rule not to purchase bags from sites that do not have original pictures of multiple angles of the exact bag to be purchased. This seems to be lacking in this site.
Hi, Sofia,
what’s yours thoughts about this link?

Best,
Myrtes
I would jar draw your attention to the payment methods – they do not have a billing company. I never purchase from sites that have a legitimate payment processor. Google checkout like paypal is really easy to get (you can be set up in a matter of minutes and you don’t need anything more than a bank account. ) You have no guarantees with these kind of payment methods. I make it a rule not to order from sites who don’t offer a proper payment processor.
Thank you, Sofia,
you’re the best!
Myrtes
Hi Sofia,
Thanks for another great review! I’ve just found this website which I think looks quite good – what do you reckon?
Kelly x
Glad you enjoyed it Kelly! What website did you find and you`d want me to take a look?
This website looked good but they didn’t have any chanel
I did like the range of marc jacobs bags though
Thank you SO incredibly much for making this website!
Not a problem Alice! For Chanel, try http://www.replicavalley.com
Hello Sofia. I noticed that you mentioned honeyreplicas.com. I got to the checkout page and couldn’t go any further without your guidance. It is not that I am so particular about exact dimensions or misplaced seams, I am just nervous about receiving the items and that they come as real rabbit fur. Do you feel it is wise that I follow through? Anyone else have anything good to say about them?
I am not a huge fan of that site.
Hello sofia
I would like to know did you ever get anything from that site honeyreplicas.com? well got things there many times and everything I got was great. But I find that most of the replica store have a hard time making replica when there is a lot of details or when the bag is not a classic they have a hard time copying it, and when you contact them they tell you that this is a replica and not the real thing and they can’t make it the exact thing! well I know really well designers bags and I really can’t buy something that is not like the exact copy of the bag every single thing on the bag as to be perfect for me to get a bag I dont want something that looks like a replica also because I have many real designer bag and when I wear a replica I dont want it to show that its a replica. I should say that I love my replica bags more the my real bags because I feel that I have made a great deal in buying a purse at 200$ that looks the same as the bag I got for 3000$! its a big satisfaction
I agree that replica stores have problems with the more obscure bags. I am a fan of more classic bags so it works for me.
hi dee! i really appreciate the input. thank you! it sure doesn’t make sense to shell out thousands or hundreds of dollars for just one purse, though when you say “fake”, it’s not really synonymous to quality and that’s the fear factor for me. when you spend 250 USD on a really good replica purse, is it the same as spending that same amount to let say a dooney & burke purse, the latter of which being really well made, durable, would you say?
Hi Sofia. Could you tell me why you do not care for this site? (honeyreplicas.com) Is it the quality of the items or their business practices?
quality.
Sofia, you mentioned previously 3/23/2010 that you had purchased jewelry from replicatouch.biz and you were pleased. I was wanting to purchase a replica-rolex watch from their site…any reviews or suggestions? Help.
Hey Jenny, replica Rolex, wow, sounds wonderful! Replicatouch.biz would be the right spot for buying replica jewelry, I got some for me as well
They got plenty kinds of Rolex watches and style is different from one person to another, feel free to check them out and don`t forget to let us know what your choice was

hey sofia
i discovered your side, and im soooo happy about that.
I have been thinking for a long time to buy myself a replica bag.
especially im interessed in alarge black gucci indy bag with silver corner plates.
do u have a hint where i could get the most realistic replica?
Which had a also a high level of quality??
Also im interessed in a LV monogram speedy 30
But most of the replicas i have seen, were very stiff.
In contrast to the original one
So could u recomment me a side for that bag???
thanks soo much for your help
dear franzi
Hey Franzi, here is the Indy you are looking for, no silver though, it`s all black. And here you have the classy and fabulous Speedy http://www.replicavalley.com/handbags/louis-vuitton/all/speedy-31.html
Take a look at the pictures, you`ll notice it`s not stiff at all, so close to the real thing you`d never tell it`s replica.
hello sofia! i just discover this page! …I ordered 2 pair of shoes at colapin bag and I waited like 2 weeks for the order and it came in the wrong size!…so i would like to buy some manolo blahnik shoes or miu miu or CL so i would like to know if u have any page that u recommend!!! thanksss!
I am not great with shoes anyone?
Hi,
do you have any information about the replica shoes?
Thanx
D
Not so many DD, sorry, but if I do hear anything about a good online shoes replica store, I will let you know
what about replica-sale.com… do u thing is a secure page?
To expensive for the quality you are getting. Pretty unprofessional site to boot!
im looking at some shoes there and they look as good as colpain…:)
ok thanks sofia!!
Do you know anything about chloe-replicahandbags.com?
I know the link you gave me doesn`t work Kay, are you sure you gave me the correct address?
I brought from six-star and was disappointed. The quality of the leather was not good. Then I went to high replica, their leather bags were good quality but their louis vuitton is poor quality. I haven’t order from colapin but I would like to order a canvas monogram louis vuitton handbag. Which site is where I can purchase a replica louis vuitton handbag of excellent quality? Look forward to hearing from you.
Hey Vanessa!
http://www.replicavalley.com carries the best quality for louis vuitton, that`s actually how they became my favourite.
That`s simple
Sofia,
thanks for all the info. just made my first purchase from http://www.replicavalley.com. do you know of any websites that are reputable selling chanel two tone capped ballerina shoes? thanks, any info would be appreicate
Hey Stacey!
Unfortunately, I`m not experienced with replica shoes as I am with handbags, but I`m researching about this.
I am very surprised to read your comment. I purchased a couple bags from the site…… The LV Neo Eden and the LV cube. They were great looking bags. The Neo could not even be recognized as a fake by the actual Louis Vuitton store when I took it in. I also purchased a cube which also looked great. I received both items in 6 days (both were ordered on two seperate days). I also have purchased charms for the bags. So i’m not sure what went wrong with your order!
Who knows…
How about you help me out with some pictures of your purchase, that way I`ll be able to post them on the blog
Hi Sofia,
Glad I found this sit.
I am looking at a chanel bag from vancofashion.com can I trust that site?
Definitely not Danny. Let`s leave aside their cheap pictures and look at their payment methods for a second.
They only accept Western Union/Money Gram and Paypal. So, no credit card? No purchase then.
i realize sofia you’ve mentioned a few times replica shoes not your forte.
i too had accidentally landed on replica-sale.com, and looking online for reviews, the concensus seems to be it’s too new to have accumulated any sort of ratings with consumers.
i got started on this quest because in the process of looking for a nude colored sandal, saw the jimmy choo quinze shoe on a couple of different traditional sites, only to find they’re using publicity stills of the original shoe to sell their not very good knock-offs.
so, i look up the original and almost faint at the $1800 price tag.
and now i am on a mission from god-dess (lol!) to find a decent priced high quality replica —
so if anyone can throw any suggestions for sites my way, feel free and thank you!
Hi Sofia. I am just questioning about colapin-bag.com’s payment methods and I was wondering how you would recommend paying for a product on this specific site AND how well that part of the transaction went for you. Thanks!
For any site, I would recommend payments done by credit card!
Hi Sofia,
Thanks so much for this wonderful review, I know this Colapin for past 3 yrs now but always hesitate to purchase from them, so u r an angel sent from heaven dear and keep up a fabulous job honey! How about ehbestfashion.com? Pls check that out and let me know.
Much appreciated,
Nikd.
Nikd I wouldn`t recommend that website at all. As payment methods, they only accept Western Union, Money Gram, Bank Wire Transfer and Moneybookers. If they don`t accept credit cards, I don`t accept them!
