Jan 8, 2025 - FIRST PSPs received from Booker and I RL’d because of defects.

Jan 12, 2025 - SECOND PSPs received from Booker; RL’d again because of defects. Booker told me to talk to HP again for further steps. HP ok’d making another exchange.

  1. My thoughts - 7/10

If you look at my photos, you’ll notice that the handles on both sides are crooked, and the leather is VERY VERY WRINKLY on both handles. This was NOT visible in the PSPs because the handles were wrapped in plastics.

And the gold hardware on the bag, the padlock, AND the strap (forgot to take photos) look different. This is the exact same issue I had with OC Speedy’s, so not entirely surprised but still very disappointing.

I ordered this Speedy just because I was SO disappointed by the OC Speedy I bought. I chose to shop with HP because there were so many good reviews on him and his LV bags, but, oh well. Maybe I wasn’t lucky OR his quality is deteriorating. Who knows, but one thing I know for sure is that I don’t think I’ll go back to shop with him again. (HP quality issues were surfaced right after I placed this order - had I known that this has been happening lately with HP, I would’ve not make this order 😫 tbh)

There was a real bad FUFU smell with this bag too - so I had to use my lavender oil + cotton ball technique 🪻 again, fyi.

I personally wouldn’t recommend HP for newbies, particularly those who aren’t sure what to expect for QC.
