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.
Which one is real Hermes Birkin?
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.
I did it!! I ordered my first Birkin bag from PH! Got a BK30 in Craie SHW. SOOOOOOO excited to receive it!! No idea where I’m going to use it because Hermes are not too common in DC, but it’s just so beautiful, I couldn’t resist
I’m surprised to hear they aren’t common. I would have assumed they were with all the lobbyist money floating around.
Maybe I don’t go to the correct places? It just feels like people here prefer Chanel to Hermes
Congrats! Use it with confidence anywhere! I find the retourne style to be pretty casual. I’ve literally stuffed mine with diapers sippy cups and taken it from the grocery store, to the post office, to brunch.
I agree! They definitely look more casual than formal. Do you use a bag insert at all? I’m wondering if I should get one 🤔
I haven’t yet, but I’ve been considering it as well. I haven’t noticed it losing it’s shape yet, but I have heard the leather will relax more over time. I ordered a cheap one off of Amazon for my picotin and I do think that one is worth keeping it on to prevent it from forming the deep side creases.
Excited for you! Craie is such a delicious color, and B30 is the perfect size! I’m waiting for my K25 in box leather to arrive (hopefully tomorrow or in the next few days)!
Oooooo, I bet it’ll be beautiful! Hope it arrives soon for you 🙂
Thank you! It’s also my first purchase from PH!
My mom was clearing her closet gave me an Hermes Birkin unbranded dupe. It’s a great dupe made of 100% crocodile skin. The bag is gorgeous just really not my vibe.
Had a very specific nightmare last night…ordered a K28 from Perfect Hermes and received a shoulder Birkin instead. Woke up panicking lol 😂
I had a Birkin related nightmare last night as well. I blame the artist who made the Costco Birkland bag for infiltrating my thoughts.
Hi! I’m new to hermes world and wanting to start small. I’ve been loving the calvi cardholder! I’m willing to pay the price but just want something that’s as close as possible to authentic. I’d appreciate any help!
My chai k25 arrived last night and I added a charm and it looks so cute! However this is my Christmas present to myself so back in its box and will be put underneath the Christmas tree when that’s set up.
I’ve been in love with the chai color for so long, it looks beautiful! I applaud your self control to wait until Christmas to use it 😄
Chai is my favorite neutral, I have a Lindy 26 and a B25 in it.
I want a barenia b25. While I love GHW I’m leaning towards PHW as I have a b25 gold Togo w ghw. What’s a girl to do?
I want a Barenia B25 too. 😭
Get the hardware that you love. PHW will age better too since the scratches are less noticeable.
Does anyone know which sellers provide the most Replica Knockoff Hermes orange boxes along with the purchase of bags? Yes I’m most interested in the orange boxes 🥲
FYI, shipping will be more expensive if you request boxes. And I’m not sure any sellers have replicated Hermes’ method of printing that shows horses on the box when you look at it with a UV light.
Wow I didn’t know that was a thing. That’s wild!
i have an auth birkin30 and i baby it so much that i don’t even bring it out often. now i have two rep b30s and i still don’t carry it as often because i don’t drive to work anymore and it makes me look weird carrying b30s on the public transport in where i live. 😩😩
Hahaha I feel you on this so much. 98% of my stuff is Replica Knockoff because I’ve just started dipping my toe into the rep world, and I feel like I get side eye because I use public transport with Vuitton luggage and bags 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Agreed I also wouldn’t carry a Hermes Kelly bag those range from 10-30 k and I don’t drive a Range Rover. That is what makes it more call out able to me depends on what the rest of your life looks like. We all like nice things but be reasonable 😂
Well I mean to an extent. I drive a 6 year old Mazda and have multiple Birkins and Kelly’s that are authentic. I just don’t prioritize cars.
Fair point
Oh dear, I use my Birkin even for grocery shopping 😂😂😂
I travel with all bags I purchase. I take them out all the time (work, restaurants etc). And most of the times I receive compliments (I purchase high tier so I guess the bags seem “decent”.
I went down the Hermès rabbit hole and started researching rare bags. I fell in love with these. What are some rare bags you love? I need some inspo.
Shadow birkin
A picnic kelly 🧺
I love the Kelly Midas bag. It’s sellier, black box leather, GHW, and half of the top handle is gold. Just like the myth, if you touch the handle, it begins to turn into gold.
My forever favorite. She is beauty, she is grace 😆 but seriously this is the rare birkin I’m dying for. Birkin Ghillies Toile and Bleu de Prusse Swift, white contrast stitching, with PHW.
I love this bag! Thanks for the input!
The birkin rock and roll I guess it’s called I love it
Hermès question for the expert 🍊
I plan to buy a Kelly 28 in box retourné, do you think it’s a bag I « can » find in the present or do I have to make it vintage by asking a date stamp on the front strap?
Thank you for your help ❤️
I believe no heritage leather (box, barenia, etc.) is currently being produced in retourne, so if you care about the date stamp, try to find an older one.
Did anyone ever order a Hermes Birkin Faubourg 20? It’s so cute but how do you explain to others how you got it?! It doesn’t match my lifestyle… but did I say that it’s so cute? 🏠
Either tell them it’s a rep or don’t go for it. If it doesn’t match your lifestyle, then even getting it gifted doesn’t make sense if the money could be used for something more “real”
I don’t think it matches most people’s lifestyle. I was just wondering if anyone ever ordered it.
I just placed an order for a retourne Kelly 28 togo in etoupe. Wondering if someone here has purchased the exact order and can share photos 😬🙏🏻
What Hermès colours do you think are the most sought after and the most difficult to get? I feel like the neutrals epsom, etain, black, craie and bleu brume are very popular. Interested to hear everyone’s suggestions.
I think in general: noir, the whites (craie, nata). the greys (etoupe**, etain, gris t, gris a, etc.) trench are the most popular from what I’ve seen
Husband surprised me with an auth preloved Birkin 35… thinking of returning it and getting a rep lol 😆
LOL! I’ve returned auth bags for reps before. 😂 Can’t blame you for having that thought…you could buy a few rep Birkins.
Thank you 🥰 really tempted to try one now for repscience! I feel like my lifestyle doesn’t really match the bag though… I’m too scared to wear it out!
I’d definitely get a rep in that case. I couldn’t bear having such an expensive bag just sitting. 🤣
I have to decide by tomorrow (since we are leaving overseas soon), and I’m leaning towards returning the bag…🤠 I don’t have much of a purchase history at Hermes, and their bag spa policies seem too complicated, especially since I dont have the OG receipt 🙊
If you’re not 100% sure I would definitely return it, because you can always rebuy preloved in the future but if you have to resell it you’ll lose out on thousands of dollars.
That’s so true! Preloved market is so saturated right now…
Sometimes I wish I’d gotten a 35, but the 30 is just the perfect size for carrying all my essentials without being crazy heavy
I have 1 B35 and it’s massive + HEAVY for me 😂 So yes, I definitely agree that 30 is the perfect size!
I think I would prefer an Evelyn like I’ve seen in my gym but a colorful birkin would be great too 😗
Haha yes! I think a Birkin looks great very casual instead of dressed up, fat more edgy
Excellent post. I’ve held off Hermes as I really do see it becoming a next level obsession. I’m Not new to reps but feel Like buying a Hermes needs some handholding 😜
Do you know the site I can get one of these at

Hi J,

I just watched this video on Hermes Leather and Color types. By Fashionphile. It’s under 5 minutes, but covers a lot of info. As an Hermes newbie I found it really helpful and thought I would share. I saw in the video comments that it omitted box leather, so I’m sure it’s imperfect.
Thank you for sharing … every time I read Hermes posts my head is spinning! 😉
I agree with you 100%. The design, the leather, the color, the size, the hardware color… 🥴😵😵💫 I’ve been working to improve my base knowledge. I came to reps through the world of LV and Gucci. Men’s bags and shoes mostly. So Hermes has been a whole new world for me.
I’m gearing up for my first higher tier Hermes rep so this is great info. Thanks!!
You guys 🥺🥺 my mama’s rep birkin just came ❤️❤️ I didn’t even look at anything, just checked the fufu was zero + the handles didn’t need any extra love… Hopefully she loves it!!! (She knows it’s a rep 😘)
