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

I ended up picking two Hermes blankets and several bags from DD. So, I recently bought an authentic Hermes Avalon blanket and wanted to try out replicas to compare. Amazingly, they were both born in 2019, and both brands belong to LVMH, which inevitably makes people wonder if they have agreed to launch such a design together. Not to mention the Extra Pocket, which has gone viral recently!

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. But the replica feels just as soft and lux as the real one. Machine sewing is quicker and costs less, but it’s not as tough as hand sewing. It uses two separate threads, one on top and one underneath, passing through the material in between. In the luxury market, the Birkin bag is seen as a symbol of wealth and taste.

If you find the preloved ones are too expensive, or if there’s no Hermès store nearby, or maybe the color you want is hard to get, etc., you could also consider buying a Hermes Evelyne dupe. If you’re considering buying an authentic one Hermes Replica Bags, this bag is a great entry-level option for someone who wants to get into Hermès without breaking the bank. I really like taking this Mini Evelyne along when I walk my dog (of course, the replica one, I don’t want to mess up the real one), it’s super handy.

It can take up to 1700 hours to complete one gorgeous scarf. But the precision drawn, vividly colourful result is worth it. Even worn vintage pieces are still very much in demand, and no wonder!

Well, they are hand crafted using the finest quality leather and are usually produced in very limited numbers. For these reasons, they are highly-sought after by the elite few which can afford this luxurious item. Starting from $20,000, the Hermes Birkin bag reaches the higher end of the luxury label price tag. Born in 1984, the Birkin bag has transformed into an opulent luxury product. Launched in limited numbers, each new collection is inspired by a new theme or concept. Over the years, few changes have been made to the iconic design features as they form important elements to this truly magnificent masterpiece.

If the listing includes the original packaging, it’s worth taking a careful look. Of course, I would love it when I become a multi-millionaire but let’s just wait calmly for that day to come. Many years ago it was much easier when there was a waiting list, but now it has become ridiculous.

Dune London’s Loupe sandals are by far the best dupe for the real deal. These come in an array of hues to suit every outfit you could possibly imagine, and they’re £95 – over £400 cheaper than Hermès. There is another red flag here and it is the difference in the fonts. Moreover, the small left-angled dash typical for the French language above the letter E is a lot bigger on the replica. In this picture, you can clearly see once again how scratched the Birkin replica’ hardware is while on the real one there are only hairline scratches. The Hermes Evelyne Bag comes in so many colors, and honestly, they all look amazing.

You can see some pictures or videos of the products but they don’t show any logos of the bags, either. Thus, you still need to contact the suppliers to know the details directly. For around $200, I procured a Gucci Jackie Mini, which retails for $2,500.

The “Sac à dépêches” which we know today as the iconic “Kelly” bag was first released in 1935, while production of the beautiful Hermes silk scarves also known as “carrés” started in 1937. If you follow the advice in the guide above you will gain a good indication of whether your Hermes bag is genuine or not. However, as counterfeit productions become more advanced it may be difficult to know for sure unless you acquire the services of an expert. Should you wish to sell or consign your bag, we offer a full authenticity check for all Hermes bags sold via our platform. However, if you do not wish to sell your bag we recommend bringing it into a Hermes boutique and inquiring about the authenticity of the Hermes bag. Unfortunately, it is impossible to guarantee the authenticity of a bag by looking a pictures alone.

‘Worth it’ questions are always so subjective, as it truly depends on what’s in your budget and what you value in designer pieces. If you’re looking for a splurge, you know you’ll get your cost per wear with these wear-with-everything sandals. These differ from the authentic Hermes slippers because the soles are brown with every colorway.
