OPEN ME FOR TIMESTAMPS~ (really… I talk a lot)
A VERY chatty video, sorry about that, but I guess I had a lot to talk through. I really wanted to give my full experience dealing with Farfetch, from beginning to end, including the bad, the good, and being fair. In the end, I felt that they redeemed themselves. If I ever need to contact customer service again though, it will Not Be by email.

So glad you got the bag you wanted! Looks great on you!!!!!
What a great buy! Nice deal!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm happy for you this bag is beautiful 😍! Thanks for the update on your Farfetch experience, they finally hold their word even if it was long!
How did you get 8% back at farfetch?! I have the capital one MasterCard and have never heard of that! Thanks
There is a beautiful emerald green Pennie Shoulder Bag 25 currently on Coach Outlet, silver hardware, fraction of the price. Do you think this might scratch the itch while you are looking for your dream green bag?
YSL is great!
Wow gorgeous bag! I’m so happy it worked out in the end! I love this dark beige in the larger, more casual camera bag and I also like it in the Lou Lou! You got such an amazing deal on it – definitely a keeper!
Your relief and joy at the unboxing is palpable, happy it all worked out 😊
That shade of green is my exact favorite color. I ordered the wristlet from Neiman Marcus but my order got cancelled as well. A couple weeks later I was able to catch the green Mini Lou during their gift card event, and absolutely love it. The green is still in stock on the Nordstrom website, along with a wallet, toy loulou, and WOC in that color! Having the dark beige you will be able to wear it with any outfit so that's the silver lining! I know you will enjoy it!
Editing my comment now that I've watched til the end – if you were to have both colors, I don't think you'd regret it! I've been looking at the neutrals myself. Just swap the order. Here to be a bad influence 🙂
I think the colour of your new bag would suit that "green" that you like. Maybe suited with a green top or jacket. Then you've the best of both worlds. 🙂 love watching…
Or even a green slg would suit too, clashy but a nice vibrant mix…
So cute this bag 🙂
Oh love this color! I was actually contemplating this beige color as well! Just couldn’t pull the trigger.
I’m glad your experience was much better this time (even with the order hiccup). The bag is cute and so pretty. I have been looking at that style in the Bleu Vert color on Bergdorf Goodman and they have their gift card event going on so I might have to go for it 😉
I really like the color, I do not believe it is too much to expect the full packaging when you buy a brand new bag , should be the norm not the exception … am glad you were able to experience.
Congratulations 🎉 very nice colour combo
Pretty color and pretty bag! Congratulations! 🎉🎊
Gorgeous bag and I'm so happy it worked out for you! I think that over the pandemic there have been more customer service issues that require more extensive effort on the part of the customer. There is an overall mental effort of having to remember to follow-up, wondering whether or not the issue will be resolved, wondering if the shipment is going to show up, tracking the package that shows it delivered two days ago, etc. I think you are right in attributing a lot of the delay in getting your initial issue resolved to the pandemic and I absolutely empathize with how frustrating it must have been. I'm glad to hear that they made a better impression this time around.
So glad everything worked out this time around, I agree that they redeemed themselves 😅 I got the same bag in October before the price increase, it’s so freakin cute and I love my mini Lou!
Great colour choice. I’d really love a SL in this style too and they do some amazing shades of pink! 💕
Congratulations 🥳
Cute! Congratulations!☺️👍
❤ the SL dark beige! Enjoy!🥰
I'm glad you were able to receive a bag you wanted. I think you are giving Farfetch a really nice review, considering the frustration and road blocks you experienced. Again I'm happy you are happy now!! ☺☺☺☺☺☺ It is a lovely bag and I think you can really style it in many ways. ☺☺☺☺
That beige color will go with everything, unlike the green.
Love the color of the bag, I just bought a YSL wristlet in the same color. I wish I could find the mini Cassandra reduced price on Farfetch.
I really like it. Nice 👍🏽
get to the point..
Happy it worked out for you! I love that bag, I have the older version. I dont have the best of luck either. I also screenshot my transactions. I had purchased from another company in Italy, Cettire. It was a bad experience, they sent me something 2 sizes bigger and took a long time to get my refund. I definitely don’t plan to purchase from them ever again!
Great buy!! Congrats!
Glad you were able to get a bag you're happy with 😀 BTW, I would be very careful with bags that have quilting. A lot of times you can clean color transfer off of the leather, but it can stain the stitching more easily.
Beautiful bag! You are in Awww, so am I. 😊
The bag is lovely and you will be able to wear it with a ton this spring and summer!
I also had an unpleasant return experience with Farfetch and haven’t shopped with them since and not sure if I will again honestly.
You should get what you paid for . No apologies necessary ! I love your excitement ! Congrats 🎊🍾🎈
Good for you ….so am happy for you 💕
I’m so happy you got the full Monty with this one! You deserve it! Love this bag! ❤️❤️😍
Hi! I love your dark beige colour in the mini lou! It’s so pretty!
I bought a small puffer in the same colour but somehow it didn’t come out as nice as I thought it would be when I see it on youtube influencers. I am not sure if is influenced by the fact that when I received the bag (from Farfetch as well), I felt that is was a used bag or returned bag because there was no wrapping in the chain and I could see specks of white paper inside the bag. The dust bag that they used was also tiny that you have to shove it to put it back in. I was unhappy to say the least but unlike you I didn’t bother returning it to Farfetch. I still have the bag. I have used it once since getting it. And the joy is not quite there to be honest when I look at it. That experience has stopped me from buying from Farfetch. I suppose it’s dependent as you say on the different vendors that they deal with, however I think they should still choose vendors which maintain a certain level of standard. Just because I bought it online doesn’t mean I want less of the experience if you know what I mean. Oh well sorry for my rant 😓
I am truly happy that you found your bag and experience that made you happy as your face lit up as you opened the box.
Have a good day!
i had a good experience with them too! like you, i have gotten a discount code plus my CC had an offer. congrats! it's the same color as my cardholder.
_Does it come with box dustbag accessories etc or just the bag ? When it comes to the luxury replica bags and stuffs, i choose @ gurep.com everytime honestly
I'm so glad this worked out well for you!! I've never shopped on Farfetch, but everyone told me the same thing when I asked on insta stories last year for advice: It's great when it works out, but be very sure of what you want because returns are a pain. Anything with customer service is difficult. Being a nervous nelly, it's just easier for me not to shop there haha! I would have been so anxious over those two months waiting for the credit to be resolved. I've thought about this bag in yellow or navy, but I've never tried it on. Looks great on you!
I’m sorry to hear that the green version didn’t work out- it’s so pretty! 😍😍 I’m happy to hear that your second attempt was at least neutral, but still- that’s a lot of work! 😅 at the end of the day though your new bag is gorgeous. And you’re feelings about being disappointed the first time are totally valid! If you’re paying full-price you should have the full experience!
Glad you got the bag. Also heck no, I would not want to deal with the possibility of there being another hassle. Not worth it to me.
Oooft – it all sounds like an easy job made difficult! 😮💨 If I was to use FF I would have to be getting a really, really good bargain or a piece I love that can’t be found elsewhere. Glad you like your bag though, she’s pretty.
I wish I saw your video before ordering, I just bought a Lou camera bag from there. It came in a box smushed with nothing but the dust bag and the tassel is missing. The tassel is literally part of the product…
I just got myself a mini lou today. I haven’t remove my wrapper yet as I’m still not sure what color I want yet 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I love the dark beige but I went with black in gold hardware. I wish I could have both. Black is stable but I have too many black bags, but I’m missing a small tiny black purse. Urgghhh I can’t make up my mind 😭😭😭
I admire how you give advice to all shoppers of luxury brands that will help them to decide what they buy.i love watching you very humble❤❤❤ Thank you so much for sharing and I will be saving this to my favorites for reference @ gurep.com
