A Guide to Buy an Authentic Hermes Birkin Kelly Bag I
Hermes Birkin / Kelly replica purses are very well-made these days. They are very hard to spot. By far most replica Birkin or Kelly are made of so-called togo leather. This leather has grainy look. If you meet a Birkin that is made of box or epsom or swift, then 90% it is a real item.
For the common togo leather birkin on eBay, I bought one last year. Because I have a real small birkin 30cm myself, once I got the fake birkin I felt it straight away. This fake birkin looks perfect – I can say it is 99% similar to the one I have. But this fake togo leather is harder than the real togo leather. It is real leather, but it is not soft togo leather! Well, this cannot be detected from the photos at all.
I found something detectable on the Hermes logo engraved on the front flap. The fake letters line closer than that of the authentic ones.
