I found a Gucci Indy real croc bag for £4,000 in Bicester Village Gucci outlet last Saturday. It is half price!
It is a good bargain considering a real croc Hermes birkin 35cm replica bag (I mean a Hermes replica that is made of real croc) costs almost the same as an authentic Gucci bag that is made of real croc.
I still cannot convince myself to carry a croc walking around. 🙂
You can check more info here. I believe they ship worldwide.
Gucci Hysteria Bag has a crest signature badge. And this badge is a significant sign to spot the authentic and the replica.

This crest badge is an obvious sign of this bag. A low quality badge can be spotted right away. The replica crest is made of yellow-tone plastic with poor-made cut.
I was asked how close these replica look like authentic bags.
Usually a real bag differs from a fake bag in two aspects: the leather and the hardware. The authentic leather is usually sourced in Italy – the country of the greatest leather. No matter how authentic a replica looks like, the feel on leather is definitely less divine than that on a real bag.
If you forget the feel, the leather on these Indy bags do look like the authentic leather.
I did a research on Louis Vuitton bags before. I found the most obvious difference between a fake LV and a real LV is its hardware. The hardware on authentic LV is so polished, with a tint of polishness. I can spot a fake LV by just looking at its hardware.
What amazed me is this Gucci Indy’s hardware. The hardware on a fake Indy bag looks so polished, it is just as polished as that from a real bag!
Can you tell a fake from a real Indy bag? yep… check out the painted trim.
A real Indy bag will have uneven painted trim too as long as it is done by hands. But there will be less error than you can expect from a fake – this is called price gap!
