How To Tell Real vs Fake Hermès Bags: 6 Authenticity Checks

Each timeless design Hermes Replica Bags, from the iconic Birkin to the Kelly, is made with quality craftsmanship and exquisite details like gold hardware. Authentic hardware on Hermes bags are always a genuine precious metal, usually either palladium or plated gold. The hardware also features small markings to indicate it is a precious metal and will feel heavy and of a high quality. The use of precious metals on Hermes bags also means that the hardware on authentic Hermes bags will not tarnish.

Owning a replica bag instead of an authentic designer item might reduce the risk of theft, as it is less valuable. Additionally, losing a replica bag would be less financially devastating than losing an expensive authentic bag. You may recall the story I shared about my friend who purchased a replica of her $85,000 Birkin bag. One reason she bought a replica of the bag was to carry it in place of her authentic Birkin which she feared losing. The Styled Collection is a brand known for selling high-quality dupes for many different designer brands and styles. After a bit of searching on their site, I found the BLAGYGA H Throw Blanket.

However, in reality, both the replica and the authentic stamp look equally clear and clean. The replica is in gold hardware and the authentic is in palladium hardware. The grain size doesn’t bother me, because even for authentic bags different seasons have different grains, some may appear bigger, others smaller. The authentic Birkin has larger grains, and the replica has smaller grains.

They’re a bit more expensive at $155, but you get what you pay for. Another thing I like about the Alibi sandals is that they are available in half sizes! No need to decide if you need to go up or down a size with these.

This is another red flag that you are dealing with a replica. The price of Birkin handbags is in a different range from the basic models, which are as low as $7,000 to $8,000 and go as high as $300,000 for premium models such as exotic crocodile skins. We’ve found some great options that will have you looking and feeling like a million bucks without spending a fortune. If this is not the perfect summer bag to carry to the beach or on a casual day out, I don’t know what is.
