Designer Handbag Bible

The first time when I saw this replica Jimmy Choo photo, I almost thought it is a real bag because it looks the same as the authentic Jimmy Choo Ramona Bag.

This is the authentic Ramona from Lindsay Lohan:

stunning look-alike?? I found this replica from eBay. I had thought they are almost the same until I went to Harrods to touch this Ramona myself. The authentic Ramona leather is very thin, soft and smooth. The replica Ramona bag my friend bought is made of much thicker leather, therefore it is not soft at all. This thicker leather also makes the bag look less sloughy. Well, if you never feel the leather of the real Ramona, you might think this replica is an authentic bag because every details of this replica looks the same as the authetic bag!

There is a beige Ramona from Keira Knightley.

a dark brown Ramona from Harry Berry

The forever chic Posh Becks

And here comes Jimmy Choo ads with Nicole Richie
I still remember her look in Simple Life I. She turned a cute girl with baby-fat into a fashion icon that is followed by many girls.

A Chanel denim coco cabas I found from Purseblog.

There is one from Cameron Diaz.

Here is a replica:

One more replica:

Can you see the difference? Both are made of washed denim. But the authentic denim looks more natural because the contrast between the washed denim and dark denim is more obvious. As to the replica denim, the washed part is evenly spreaded all over the bag and the contrast is less visible than the authentic.

Hilton Sisters have a habit: if they like a bag they will get two same one in different colors. Maybe they just own one and swap them later? This Valentino Patent Nuage Bag is one of Nicky’s favorite. By the date of posting I am sure Nicky Hilton is the first and the only celebrity that has this bag.

Here is a Valentino Black Patent Nuage Bag from Nicky

Here is a replica in black patent too:

Here is Nicky again with a white patent Valentino Nuage Bag.

A close-up of her bag:

This is a replica. I think this is a very well-made replica. I know I can only tell if it is fake by feeling the leather. This bag is made of ostrich pattern leather, not real ostrich leather. It might look the same, but it feels differently.

I found this beautiful pink ostrich from some replica store.

Posh carried an authentic pink ostrich birkin…

Heidi Klum also has the same pink ostrich here:

If anyone can spot the fake sign from the photos above, please leave a comment.

The obvious sign is the ostrich is fake, not real ostrich. Check out my post regarding what real ostrich looks like.

The other sign is the font on the metal plate is wrong. Check out what the real one looks like here.

If there is one bag that can tell the history of Chanel, it must be this Chanel Charm 2.55 bag.

Mischa Barton with this Chanel 2.55 charm bag. This OC girl extended her posh lifestyle from screen to real life.

One more killing photo. I fell in love with this bag at first sight because of this photo!

Is it adorable? What made this adorable is there is no replica for this item. The only replica by far is horrible - the charms are totally wrong! Check the photos below:

This is on the top of my wish list now. Valentine’s Day is coming. It is time to use your charm, girls!

A 2007 Fall collection: Calf Tote with Chain Trim - it is made of smooth calf.

Here is the replica I found:

It is a different style. The smooth leather is close to the authentic one. But again, the CC logo is smaller and the quilted CC from a fake bag is too flat.
