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:

I was told by my girl friends that some Chinese factory made very authentic-looking Chanel bags these days. Photos below are provided by purse forum buyers of an authentic Chanel shopping tote and a very authentic-looking Chanel shopping tote replica. See if you can tell the difference..

For the zip pull of all zippers: one side is CC and one side is CHANEL.

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.
