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.
🔶Learning Time How To Spot Fake Birkin: Expert Tips from a Seasoned Collector
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.
B30 in gold togo with GHW, my absolute favorite bag right now 😍
Im so anxious to know what the ladies here think of this perspective in regards to the Birkin bag.
https://youtube.com/shorts/kKo9BQ40kdw?feature=share
Considering one of her examples is actually a Kelly…I am thinking she doesn’t have much knowledge of the bag. Also, cool she likes it slouchy and full, so do I but others don’t. and that’s ok.
I agree with you on her knowledge level. It’s just her opinion and you know what they say about opinions. 🤷🏻♀️ live your life. Buy what you like. Do you. I personally think it’s a stunning bag.
Looking for advice on how to “beat up” a Kelly
I’m thinking about getting a Kelly 28 in Togo leather. In order to make it more plausible and non suspicious that I’m wearing such an expensive bag, I want it to look worn in. I could afford an Replica Knockoff secondhand bag, I just really don’t want to spend that much when I can get good reps but how can I make my rep look worn in fast?
When I was trying to make a new bag slouchier and broken in I sat on it whenever I was sitting down at home.
Get Swift leather… take a light grit sandpaper or nail file to the corners to give them the worn look… carry around some heavy ass books or something in it…
I have a rep Hermes and I’ve owned Replica Knockoff before. Honestly, I don’t know if my most recent rep would stand up to much beating. I just think the leather is often a little different, perhaps the hardware isn’t as rugged, etc. But good luck and please share. I remember that men used to drag their new leather briefcases on the sidewalk to get them looking worn in. Maybe that was just urban myth.
One of the quickest ways is to get a leather that slouches easily. Swift is one. There are other leathers that fight back against structure too. Google this and you will find these other leathers. Next, all the Hermes icons like Jane Birkin and the Olsen twins over stuff their bags. This too helps the bag get old fast. Or you could search all the 2nd hand sites and you will find one that isn’t in top condition which would be instant gratification. These bags in “ fair” condition are priced much lower. Interestingly, the resale sites are all asking for H bags in Fair condition since there are many others who crave this look. I would not ( ever) apply alcohol or any harsh chemical to a rep or a real. You don’t want to destroy the leather since this will make the bag look damaged, not lived in. Last, there are great leather conditioners to soften a bag. Saphir is the best in my opinion. Once you condition your bag it’s supposed to sit overnight and then use a microfiber or a cotton sock to polish the bag. You may just want to do a light polish. No dryers either! Leather and heat are natural enemies. Use your bag to death and it will look lived in. Best of luck.
Question for my fellow rep lovers: If you used a replica birkin as a work bag and people complimented it, would you admit it’s a rep? I’m thinking of getting one eventually, but it’s the one bag that I don’t mind people knowing is not authentic. I come from a very well off family and have a high income tech job, so I have a mix of auth and reps but I’m very low key. I drive a mid range SUV and live in a nice but modest home in a HCOL city. I don’t want people 👀my purchases and counting my money. I especially don’t want to get robbed. Lastly, I just love to throw a grenade and sashay away, and I feel like admitting a birkin is a rep is a good way to do that 😂. What do you think?
If someone compliments my bag, I say “thank you.”
I don’t wear reps to work for this very reason…too many questions and I don’t care for the attention.
No I absolutely wouldn’t. The only people I ever tell are my close friends and family who know how much auth cost and would likely have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting with me if they thought I was really spendingthatmuch money. Outside of that? It’s no one’s business!
I’ve been really obsessed with Kellys and Birkins with a different interior. What are your favorites you’ve seen? I love a black Kelly with a tan interior. I love the bright pops of color inside though too.
Black exterior and Rouge Vif interior is my holy grail 😍
Someone else said that too! It’s like a Louboutin 🤩
Ooh I would love a black clemance b35 with phw and a blue paon (I think that’s the Tiffany blue color name) interior. Would be to die for 🖤
Omg I can totally picture that!! 😍 Did you think of that yourself?
Not really, I actually saw a grey one with a Tiffany blue interior online a while back and it was beautiful. I thought wow how amazing would it look in black lol. I don’t recall if it was on here or maybe an auth on one of the preloved sites.
Rouge H interior! 😍
I LOVE that color. What exterior would you pair it with?
Black Chèvre has my heart!
Ugh just like a Louboutin but in bag form!! 😍
I’m (desperately) looking for a Hermes toolbox 26, for a cornucopia of reasons the only Hermes remotely practical for me. Buuuuut I only found a couple dupes on AE and one supposedly branded rep on a very dubious website. Has anyone seen my unicorn and can point me in the right direction, please?!
Got my new bag Hermes Birkin 25 in Etain Togo with PHW. I’ve been looking for high tier sellers and I tried a new seller😱. Overall pretty happy with the bag.
I’m always in search for new H sellers. How was your experience with this seller? Is quality on par with price?
It was a pleasant experience. She sent a LOT of photos, took the time to answer my questions in detail
I am in love. I think this is the bag to end all bags for me. It’s a B35 Ebene Barenia with PHW from PH. I’ve realized over the last six months I typically prefer smooth/er leather over grained and this leather is TO DIE.
You are making me want to pull the trigger on my next PH bag: I’m eyeing a K28 retourne in Barenia Fauve with PHW. I’ve been trying to decide if I want a 28 or 32 (I have a K28 retourne in my collection already but I don’t have a K32 retourne, only sellier), but now i am leaning towards a K28 in Barenia.
Please post pictures when you get it ☺️
Thanks for sharing .I wasn’t a Birkin gal… until one day, I suddenly was lol.
I’m currently on the fence. I’m torn between black with gold hardware or a gold with gold hardware.
I would take the black with the gold hardware! I have a black togo with palladium hardware that I love but it is just so casual that I’ve lusted over getting the gold hardware. I actually just recently ordered a 25 black with gold to hopefully fill that void since I didn’t want 2 of the same bag practically.
I’m in this conundrum between gold and silver as well. Do you think gold will be too flashy to suit more casual outfits?
I think it’ll still work for casual!
Black is more classic and probably more believable as most produced colour, (Auth wise), especially if you’re ‘rocking’ it in a professional environment! Still a bit of an investment as hand stitched etc, so black is more practical for leisure too. IMO obviously 🙂👌👍x
I’m thinking of getting a black box Kelly but having trouble deciding between 25 vs 28, and sellier vs retourne. Anyone have any opinions? I’m 5’6, 135 for reference
Kelly 25S is so hard to get anything in or out of, my personal fav size is 28R. A 25R would work if you don’t carry a lot or a 25S for evenings / going out.
This! I have a sellier K25 and barely anything fits in it. It’s so hard to get anything in/out and it’s hard to find stuff in there too. It collects dust in my closet sadly
Thank you for the input❤️❤️
Is investing on a Hermes , herbag worth it? I got an offer and I’m confused.. help me please ladies
It depends on why you want an Hermès bag. If you love the suggestion of a Kelly that’s out of reach, it has the shape and silhouette that will deliver thatfeelingwhen you walk into the room wearing it. But if you want H for the sensual thrill of the luxurious leathers, it’s a lot of money for a lot of canvas and some Vache Hunter, the only leather less sensually rewarding (to me at least) than epsom. I would pass and get an Aline (or whatever they’re calling the grooming bag variant these days) in Equestrian.
Don’t think of it in terms of investing or that it’s a rare opportunity. If the bag will bring you enough joy in using and if you know you will use it enough is a better consideration.
Agree with the other great advice here, only get it if you truly love it! I do think it’s overpriced for what it is. Have you checked out their other bags, like lindy or picotin, halzan or garden party?
Thank you ladies, I like the bag but not that much I just wanted something from Hermes in order to have a shopping history, I’m aiming for a birkin or Kelly
Hey all my mom is looking for a low tier birkin. I have the ability to use AE, dh. I’d prefer to go through AE I believe she wants the 30. This isn’t a gift otherwise I’d splurge and she was hoping to keep it under $100. Is that possible? or any rec? thx!
I won’t recommend any bag under $100, it’s likely you will get a HUGE disappointment.
I actually didn’t get the hype about having a black BK (I love how the bag pops in bright rich colors) but I saw an auth with GHW in the wild at lunch last week and it was utter perfection in person. It looked so supple and rich and luxurious. You’ll get so much mileage out of the black.
Another vote for the 🖤
Honestly, a black with GHW is so beautiful and classic but never, ever boring. I love it.
I’m so afraid to do colors (I really want a pink) because I feel like they’re harder to get right
Go for the pink 💖🌸. From what I’ve heard from friends and colleagues that have auth B’s that neutrals are harder to get bc everyone wants them and Hermes only makes a certain amount of each color, each year.
Lol you may tempt me!!! To clarify I mean like harder to rep correctly. Like match the color to the auth.
Hmm it depends I think on the factory, I have seen a really good rose pourpre rep. But to your point there are some colors that may be hard to get exactly right.
I saw an auth with GHW in the wild at lunch last week and it was utter perfection in person. It looked so supple and rich and luxurious. Now I want one for myself
I bought a picotin off of DHG and the lock/metal is too yellow and shiny. It looks like a plastic toy ring. I don’t truly care about accuracy for this because I don’t run in “Hermès circles” (I’d be suprised if any one I know even recognizes it) but the lock is ugly to me.
I was planning to use it as a tote and could simply not use the lock, but are there are any sources for just Hermès locks?
Those who ordered hermes bags from high tier sellers, does the bag come with the complete packaging experience (with the raincoat and pillow thing)? Thank you. 😀
I will let you know on Tuesday when mine arrives. 😄
Thank you! What did you get? 🤩
Noir B35. I’m basic. 😁
I just wanted to chime in and say that a Birkin 35 is such a HEAVY travel bag. I tried to use mine as a professional travel bag for a while and it was always a heavy torture device that took up a free arm and made me slow.
My Birkin was a gift to myself for a promotion I just got my husband encouraged it, which is rare for him 😬 I never even thought to get a Birkin, but then I showed him the bag and said that now that I am a ⭐️Director⭐️ that maybe I could rock something like that and he said I should totally get it!
Soooo… now all I need is for that bag to come to my grubby little ⭐️Director⭐️ hands lol
