Designer Handbag Bible

Lindsay Lohan has tons of designer purses. Sometimes I wonder some of the bags are actually free for her because whenever she carried that bag there is a fuss the second day.

If Ashley and Lindsay both carried that bag, that bag might be hot in a few days or weeks. Here is the exception: Balenciaga arena bag. It came out after the must-have-motorcycle trend. Its quilted leather looks like Chanel bags while its design followed the Balenciaga box design. It is a hybrid of Chanel leather and box design.

This Arena bag was out of market very soon. It never brought any attention to any bagaholic. And you cannot even find it in the replica market. Here are the only two replica I found online. And they are not available any more!

Hermes Birkin / Kelly replica purses are very well-made these days. They are very hard to spot. By far most replica Birkin or Kelly are made of so-called togo leather. This leather has grainy look. If you meet a Birkin that is made of box or epsom or swift, then 90% it is a real item.

For the common togo leather birkin on eBay, I bought one last year. Because I have a real small birkin 30cm myself, once I got the fake birkin I felt it straight away. This fake birkin looks perfect - I can say it is 99% similar to the one I have. But this fake togo leather is harder than the real togo leather. It is real leather, but it is not soft togo leather! Well, this cannot be detected from the photos at all.

I found something detectable on the Hermes logo engraved on the front flap. The fake letters line closer than that of the authentic ones.

I will compare more aspects in the coming posts

Louis Vuitton Hardware Comparison: Fake Vs Authentic III

We all know Louis Vuitton bags don’t’ have cutted logos. So when I put these photos, you should know which one is authentic and which one is fake.

authentic:

replica:

But don’t think all replica bags have cutted logos. It just happened to have this fault in this bag. Here is another photo from the same replica bag.

The monograms are perfectly lined.

For a replica bag, there must be some cutted monogram somewhere in the bag.

I love this bag. Its style looks like the onatah style from Louis Vuitton.

But the replicas already came out…

a replica in purple

a replica in camel

Here is a REAL bag in red.

When you see this photo in the future, don’t think it is a replica. Don’t be fool! This is from a real Dior Gipsy Ruffled large Hobo Bag.

The real bag is made of very thin leather. When you look at a photo of the real bag you will think that is made of cloth because it looks too soft and thin. You can see the ruffled everywhere.

The replica is made of much thicker leather. You can see the difference from the non-perforated part of the bag.

Onatah leather is another limited edition from Louis Vuitton. Somehow I prefer the onatah suede from two years ago.

Lindsay Lohan has one PM and Katie Holmes has one GM. I personally tries these in the Louis Vuitton shop. PM is better than GM, because suede is too soft I simply cannot find my key insdie the GM!

The problem with a replica is its suede is more stiff. A GM replica cannot bend nicely like an authentic Onatah Suede GM.

a fake:

a real one I found on ebay:

I honestly cannot distinguish the real and the fake from photos if they don’t show the hardware. But always look for the accessories such as cards and dust bags. As far as I know no replica will come with a correct price tag with correct product number and product name on it!
