Hey guys! Recently, I’ve been reading the emails and comments you have sent. Although I haven’t gotten to read them all, I managed to reply to some of the comments and a few emails.
And I am very happy and a bit surprised to find that my old articles still got so much attention from you guys.
So I am thinking about rewriting some of the old blog posts (between new posts) so as to update new info and hopefully clear up some doubts you’ve been asking.
Today I am gonna start with the Hermes Birkin replica review.
Everyone knows that Hermes is expensive, but how expensive?
I mean if you think about it, you can get about 10-15 Louis Vuitton bags for the sticker price of 1 Hermes.
That’s pretty crazy considering Louis Vuitton is already a fairly pricey luxury brand itself.
So I decided to take the plunge and purchase a fake Birkin.
And I want to point out I’m no stranger to Hermes, it’s fair to say I know what I’m talking about when it comes to Hermès Birkin.
Review
Seller: Perfect Hermes thanks to Jess (one of my blog readers) who recommended this website to me, I found possibly the best source for Hermes replicas ever! (A shoutout to Jess!)
They offer four sizes of the Birkin, and I chose the Birkin 25.
I used to buy from kayezhang, but if you’ve checked my replica seller list, you would see they’ve been crossed off. Too bad they’re no longer in business.
Price: $1,400 USD + Free Shipping
Shipping: DHL
Time: They took about 15-20 days to make the bag and then the shipping took about another week.
Now the process has gotten shorter. Their bags have been in stock since last year because they managed to expand their artisans’ team. If a bag isn’t in stock, you pay a 50% deposit, and they’ll start making it.
They have many leather options available, like the popular Togo, Box Calf, Clemence, Epsom, and even Crocodile. You can also choose whichever color you like. Learn more about Hermes leather and color: In addition to the Birkin and Kelly, they also sell other Hermès bags like the Constance, Evelyne, Lindy, Jypsière, and more, as well as accessories. So far, I’ve gotten 2 Kellys, 4 Birkins, 1 Constance, 1 Evelyne, 1 Garden Party, and 3 wallets, plus a blanket from them. One downside is that their website only shows the Birkin and Kelly. You need to inquire about ordering other bags, but they actually make many styles. |
- The bag was beautifully packaged and wrapped nicely so it was flawless when it arrived.
- Hermes box, dust bag, ribbon, cards, etc are included.
I compared it side by side with one from my friend Michelle’s Replica Knockoff collection. Both the quality and the accuracy of this Birkin knockoff are fantastic! I am thoroughly pleased!
Overall Quality -9.8/10
Shape, size are pretty accurate.
The color appears true to the Replica Knockoff based on various photos. But I haven’t been able to compare the Replica Knockoff one side by side in the same color in real life, so it is difficult to be certain (-0.2).
- Leather feels luxurious and smooth not dry at all.
- Smells lovely, very leathery smell, zero fufu at all.
- Stitching is clean, evenly spaced, and consistent. I am especially pleased with the stitching.
- Hardware weight is substantial.
-
Handles feel strong and comfortable to carry.
-
Zipper is also quite smooth despite all the times I have needed to open/close it.
-
Engraving is clean and positioned well.
Details Accuracy -9.5/10
Handles and Sangles: The handles and sangles are really well done. The stitching is even and neat.
Piping: The piping is amazing. It’s got the same thickness, texture, and overall look. It’s a perfect 10/10 for me.
Stamp: I find stamps hard to rate because so many Replica Knockoff stamps look different. The stamp looks good and is very clear. So, I’m docking off 0.2 points for now.
Plaque: The Replica Knockoff Plaque looks a bit softer. The replica’s hardware seems to have sharper edges. I’m deducting -0.2 points for that.
And about the engravings on the Plaque, they all look different. Even the Replica Knockoff engravings from one Birkin to another look different.
Pearling: Pearling is something that gets a lot of attention in the replica community. They analyze how deep and prominent the pearling is.
If you see pearling on your fake Birkin then the pearling is a 10. Pearling varies a lot from one Replica Knockoff bag to another.
This bag’s got some gorgeous pearling, so it definitely scores a 10.
Four Clou (Feet): The feet, or the correct term “Four Clou,” are identical.
Touret: The Touret is also extremely well done. The edges feel a bit harsher, not as soft as the Replica Knockoff ones. This is a tiny difference. Still, I’m gonna take off -0.1 points.
Overall, the bag is very accurate. I can’t say much more than it’s spot-on.

Conclusion: WORTH IT?
For me, the answer is yes, I can’t tell you how I’m amazed by the quality of this Birkin copy bag. The leather feels just as luxurious and smooth as Replica Knockoff Hermes leather.
I live in NYC and every time I wear this bag people stop me in the street and compliment.
I am especially pleased with the craftsmanship, the handles feel strong and comfortable to carry.
Not only that, but because I chose the smallest size (Birkin 25), it’s lightweight but roomy enough, which means I can carry all my belongings around effortlessly no matter how far I have to go.
I also went on 1st Dibs and searched for a similar Hermes Birkin. The bag is going for $16,606 on their site and I paid $1400 for my Birkin 25 which is 1/10 of their price.
It’s nice to know that I have a stylish leather piece in my wardrobe that won’t break the bank.
Some facts about Hermes Birkin
As time goes by, I CAN afford Replica Knockoff Hermes bags by myself now. Finally, I have a few Replica Knockoff Birkins and Kellys in my collection. But……
Replica Knockoff Hermès bags aren’t that perfect
Despite controversial beliefs, Replica Knockoff Hermès bags aren’t PERFECT.
Let me tell you that. They have crooked stitching, overlapping glazing, bleeding stamps, and different batches of leather.
Those different batches of leather can be very extreme. One batch is buttery soft, and the next is slightly thicker in texture and rougher.
Let’s not even begin to talk about grain consistency. It’s a piece of skin from an animal. How on earth could each piece have the same grain? Simply not possible. Like we humans, we all have a different pore size.
You get the point. I’m talking about natural grain like Togo or Clemence leather. Not Epsom. Epsom is an embossed grain and a whole different story.
The exhausting “H game”
Apparently, Hermes is one of those exclusive luxury brands. Hermes handbags (especially Birkins and Kellys) are not available to be purchased by just ordinary people.
Hermes has a strict “quota”, whether the sales associates (SA) choose or not to offer “VIPs” quota bags is based on a myriad of factors, some known and some unknown.
For example, you need to continue to strengthen your relationship with your SA through frequent visits and MANY MANY purchases.
Even after you make the SA very happy, there is no guarantee the Birkin will be the one that you want. It could be of a different size, color, or leather.
To be honest, I’ve started to feel a bit weary of playing the H game. Friends sometimes complain, saying, “Getting a bag from Hermès not only burns your wallet but also eats up so much time and effort.”
So how hard is it really to buy an auth Birkin?
I spent $20k with one SA in various departments (FJ, scarves, slg, shoes, home) and was told I was eligible for a quota bag, I then had to wait a whole year for the bag to arrive with my name on it.
It’s a size 25 bag in a neutral color, hence the long wait. During this time I barely visited the store but would text my SA once every 2 months to inquire about it.
My cousin has spent over $100k at various H stores in the past two months and has yet to get an offer. She travels a lot, so she doesn’t stick to one store and SA.
Her sales are all over the place, including online. But it clearly means nothing.
Last week she told me she asked her SA as she’s been on a “waitlist” for 2 years, and SA said she really needs to shop more?!
And the worst part is once you have played all the games and finally get an offer you are basically forced to say yes to any offer, even if it is not for the color or size you want in your boutique if you are traveling you should be good.
If you dare to pass, the chances of ever getting another offer plummet.
What about buying from preloved?
Going for a pre-loved bag often means you get more choices in leather, colors, and sizes.
But you should know, getting a Birkin secondhand can be way pricier than its retail price, and that is hard to swallow.
How good can a Birkin replica be?
“Can others tell if I’m carrying a fake Birkin bag?” I believe this is something many people worry about.
Check out this side-by-side Hermes Birkin replica vs. real review, you can see just how convincing a fake Birkin can be these days.
You should know it’s impossible to perfectly replicate a true $10k+ bag for $1k.
There are always tells, but that’s why we’re saving 90%, because 99.99% won’t be able to tell.
Besides, I can get what I want, in the skins I want, in the colors I want, with no fuss. And I’m not paying $15,000-$20,000 per bag. It’s a win-win.
Are fake Birkin bags also handmade?
Not all Hermes Birkin bag replicas are handmade. After all, it takes a lot of time and effort, and skilled artisans aren’t that easy to come by.
Besides handmade, there are also machine-made and semi-handmade counterfeit Birkin bags. I go into more detail about this in my post Best Birkin Bag Replica Guide For Hermes Lovers.
Is Replica Knockoff Hermes still worth it after getting replicas?
For me, the answer is no. I do own several auth Kellys Birkins now. I bought my bags because I love them. They’re a handbag. An accessory. I love their look. Their quality, their amazing leathers, and yes, the status they represent.
But I don’t love all the price increases over the years. The hoop jumping Hermes has required in order to purchase these bags and all the rest.
If I was buying these bags as investment pieces, that would be one thing. But I’m not. They are a handbag. An accessory. Period.
I got into the replica game more than 10 years have never looked back. I own MANY replica Hermes bags. I only buy top tier replica bags. And they are indistinguishable from my auth bags.
My bag just got here, and it’s super awesome! It’s my first time buying one and it’s incredible! Now my sister wants one too.
I got a B25 from them and it seems like it is not hand stitched. Anybody encountered issues lately
I didn’t notice any issues. Have you reached out to the seller for clarification?
I’m contemplating a B30/togo/gold/GHW. the hardware quality and likeness is most important to me.
Anyone want to chime in with an opinion? 🙏🏻
Yesterday, I went to brunch and to binge a book with my lindy in Bleu Atoll. I saw another lady with a Birkin in the same colour, and she was also as colourfully dressed as I was, and we winked and smiled at each other! I don’t know why that pleased me, but it did. 🥰
That is cute 🥰
Walked past the Hermes boutique today and a bag caught my eye. I first saw it a few weeks ago at my daughters ballet recital and loved it, I knew I had seen it before but couldn’t remember what it was. Frantically googled bucket like bag designer for anything similar but couldn’t find it anywhere… 😂😂
But today, blow me down, there it was in the Hermes window. So we went in and I was greeted by a sales assistant for the very first time! She was absolutely lovely to me which was really nice as I get a lot of imposter syndrome in boutiques.
Anyway TDLR, the bag I loved was a picotin!! So here I go scrolling to try and find the best sellers/factories for picotin 😂
Picotin did that to me too. Saw the etoupe in the wild and after that, I knew I needed it
Just want to say that I saw an Hermes Himalayan in person (!!!) for the first time in Japan today. I forgot if it was a Kelly or a Birkin. All I remember was that it was 35,000,000 yen, or 234k USD. I’m sure there will be a discount for foreigners (no tax), but wow! I may never get to see one in person again.
