Designer Handbag Bible

Lambskin lining, clear-cut correct font engravement on metal plate, slim diamond-shaped end-handle stitching, soft leather, they are not the standard answer to an authentic Hermes birkin any more.

My sourse told me a so-called OMAS company claims to make the most authentic birkin bags apart from Hermes. They have been in the replica market for more than 4 years. The latest omas birkin bags sell more than $1,000 USD. They claim they are using the same togo leather used by Hermes.

My sourse also told me most of these bags (without logo plate) are shipped to Japan. The logo plates are then put on the bags in Japan. I start to wonder some authentic Hermes Birkin bags sold in the second hand shops which are prevalent in Japan might be fake!

I found some little secret about Hermes Birkin online.

There is a major difference between the authentic Hermes bag and replica Hermes bag. Check the photos below. Seldom people really notice this difference as it is hard to spot from photos. Whoever takes photos from this angle knows this difference!

We all know Victoria (Posh) has a variety of Hermes Birkin collection.

She has it in every color including white:

Kate Moss also has a white birkin:

Here is an alike:

Do you know the authentic Hermes Birkin bag has the chevre lambskin lining, a lining with texture like this?

But sorry, this white birkin is just another mirror image replica.

The authentic Hermes Birkin bag’s lining should look like this - a textured lining

Here is a photo of another authentic birkin.

A normal replica of Hermes Birkin bag you find on eBay has the smooth lining - this is man-made leather, not lambskin Chevre as the authentic Birkin has.

Another photo of the smooth lining.

However, I found some high quality replica does come with chevre lambskin lining now, such as this red Kelly.

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!
