CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG

Posted by Lucy

My female friend told me after she read the post of CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG from purseblog she fell in love with this bag:

Hmmm… with a price tag of $30,000 I feel I carry a car on my arm if I have this bag (in my dream). But my crazy girlfriend got on hold of one before Victoria Beckham did ….. I seriously doubt its authenticity though!! I would still like to thank her for her photo (below) of that exclusive CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG!!!!

- The color looks different. Or it might be because of the lighting?

Honestly if I have that amount of money, I would buy the CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG instead of a car. We all know cars drop their value once they are driven outside of showrooms, but Chanel 2.55 bags keep their value or even appreciate if we use them gently — does it mean women are better investors of men? Hehe ….

Posted by Lucy

This is not a post to teach you how to tell a fake Hermes Birkin. You can check out how to tell a fake birkin here.

It is a post to show you how to tell fake togo leather from a Hermes birkin bag. Real togo leather is very soft when you touch it. Most togo leather you can find from replica Hermes Birkin bags are stiff. When you buy it online you cannot touch its texture, but you can still check the photos carefully and tell the difference. Check the photos below:

Now it is quiz time! which one is made of real togo below:

Chanel Jumbo 2.55 Classic Flap Bag

Posted by Lucy

I just recently found many of my friends believe Chanel made jumbo bags 31cm in double flap bags!! Chanel made the old style CC clasp 2.55 flap bag (25.5cm) in double flap style but CC clasp jumbo bags (31cm) don’t come in double flap bag style yet when this post is written. However the new square-shaped clasp jumbo bags DO come in double flap bag style. It is confusing, isn’t it? Check the photos below.

A double flap Chanel jumbo bag with CC clasp in front: it is definitely a fake.

Herve Leger Bodycon Bandage Mini Dress

Posted by Lucy

Did anyone find Herve Leger replica dresses online recently? There are a few replica websites with Herve Leger name in it already.

Herve Leger dresses have been hot for a few years. But replica Herve Leger dresses just came to market in late 2009. According to my source someone in Guangzhou found the Herve Leger material (highly elastic cotton) in France and imported it to China to make these dresses.

Here is a replica:
