6 Tricks to know if a Hermès Birkin bag is fake

Are you about to buy a luxury Birkin bag but you are not sure about its authenticity? Stop for a moment and analyze the following points step by step:

1. Examine the quality of the bag. Normally, the materials used to make a Hermes bag are crocodile, ostrich, lizard, calf or shark skins. Very expensive and difficult to counterfeit materials. Manufacturers of imitation Birkin bags usually use cowhide leather. If you notice that the leather looks granulated and of low quality, it is likely to be a fake Birkin.
2. Pay attention to the stitching. In an authentic Hermès bag, the stitching is evenly spaced and without imperfections. A Birkin replica will be sewn irregularly and with some imperfections.
3. An original Birkin bag does not have paper tags. Authentic versions are distinguished by having a clear stamp printed inside the bag.
4. Inspect the closure. The bag's closure will have a very fine "Hermes-Paris" written elegantly. Counterfeits include larger and wider letters.
5. The Birkin model includes a set of lock and key; the lock is engraved with the word Hermès along with a number that will match the one written on the key.
6. Hermès never places metal plates inside their bags. So if you see one, you are facing a fake Birkin bag.

If any of the aforementioned points does not convince you or is simply not met, what you have in your hands is a fake Birkin bag.

Finally, the best advice we can give you is that when buying a luxury bag, always be careful and do not make impulsive purchases.
