My female friend told me after she read the post of CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG from purseblog she fell in love with this bag:

Hmmm… with a price tag of $30,000 I feel I carry a car on my arm if I have this bag (in my dream). But my crazy girlfriend got on hold of one before Victoria Beckham did ….. I seriously doubt its authenticity though!! I would still like to thank her for her photo (below) of that exclusive CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG!!!!

- The color looks different. Or it might be because of the lighting?

Honestly if I have that amount of money, I would buy the CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG instead of a car. We all know cars drop their value once they are driven outside of showrooms, but Chanel 2.55 bags keep their value or even appreciate if we use them gently — does it mean women are better investors of men? Hehe ….

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:

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

Herve Leger dresses have been hot for a few years. But replica Herve Leger dresses just came to market in late 2009. According to my source someone in Guangzhou found the Herve Leger material (highly elastic cotton) in France and imported it to China to make these dresses.

Here is a replica:

An authentic Herve Leger dress:

Love that Chanel Lambskin Classic Flap bag with Glassstone and Rhodoid Embroidery!

Never seen this in replica.

There are some replica with simple Embroidery ..

meet the replica Christian Louboutin Armadillo Pleated Ankle Booties. Authentic Christian Louboutin shoes have thinner and higher heels.

an authentic Chanel bubble quilt flap bag. Its leather looks supply and glossy, yet distressed. The color is rich either in burgundy or camel.

some replica quilt flap bag:

The leather is just so wrong. The shiny one looks so smooth without any texture. The distressed one looks dry without any gloss!

This style is from Chanel Spring Summer 2009 collection. It is similar to the Chain Chain Bag Nicky Hilton carried a few years ago but with wider bottom.

According to my source, this kind of metallic lambskin is very soft. Replica bags will never be made of this kind of lambskin, as they are pricy.

check the replica here. Most replica Christian Louboutin shoes have heels of 10cm. The authentic Christian Louboutin Pigalle Patent Pumps above definitely have heels of more than 10cm. You can see the heels are shorter in replica shoes.
