Recently I found a major difference between a fake Birkin and an authentic Birkin. This difference has not been noted everywhere yet, so I think it might be worth mention. Check the photos below, can you spot any difference?
Answer:
The handle end of an authentic Birkin is thinner and more of a square shape. A fake one has a wider and more rounded shape! Now can you tell which one is authentic? Tips: There are four authentic Birkins in this photo!
If you see this Louis Vuitton bag on eBay, will you think it is authentic?
If you think (I used to think) only real Louis Vuitton bags use oxidizing leather on the trim of their bags and replica Louis Vuitton bags wont’ change color during time, we are wrong.
I met a friend the other day and saw her Louis Vuitton bag. The handle and trims look very vintage. I had thought that was a real bag! She told me it is a fake!!!
I know when they are brand new, the replica oxidizing leather tends to be lighter than the real oxidizing leather. But when it ages, it is hard to tell!
If you want a 10000% authentic Louis Vuitton bag, never buy online! Go to their stores, as every Louis Vuitton bag online might be fake, no matter how authentic it looks!
We know Hermes Birkin bags are made of many different type of leather such as togo, box calf, clemence, epsom, swift, barenia, fjord, chevre, etc. But so far most birkin bags I found on eBay are made of togo leather. Also most replica is made of togo too.
I found a Chevre birkin online today. This chevre is goatskin. It is slightly glossy, but less glossy than box calf. It looks like it is quite fragile, as most goatskin are fragile. It is a lovely Khaki color!
Epsom: it is a replica!!
Epsom is embossed. It looks like a pattern of many lines diagonally across each other. I was told this leather is quite stiff and rigid. It is easy to take care of. No need to use it carefully as you do to a chevre birkin.
The 2008 Spring Chanel Collection:
A replica. This replica is made of patent leather. The shape is different from the authentic bag.
a replica from the same line. It looks the replica bag has quilted squares while the authentic has longer shape quilted squares.
This Burberry warrior bag in creamy croc pattern looks very nice. But it is a REPLICA! don’t be fooled.
This bracelet even comes with an authentication card and box. But it is a replica too!!
