Hi, I would like to ask you if all those luxury products are real authentic? Original brand??? comes with dust bag, card, serial number ... etc?!
ReplyDeleteOr they are replica AAA? or maybe it's genuine leather but not original brand???
Are all used second hand items?? or there is new/unused?
If it's original authentic items, do you have online website? do you have international shipment?
What about the prices???
