Hey guys! So, I’ve been reading the emails and comments you have sent. And although I haven’t gotten to read them all, I managed to reply to some of the comments and a few emails.
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.
Why I Bought a Fake Hermes Bag?
1. Hermes is unbelievably expensive
Everyone knows that Hermes is expensive, but how expensive? For me, it’s like the king of luxury handbags. 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. Its hefty price tag often leaves me thinking ‘No way!’
2. Not just anyone (even the rich) can buy a Hermes
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 wanted. It could be of a different size, color, or leather.
3. I found the best source for Hermes bag replica
Nevertheless, the desire of owning a Hermes didn’t fade away as time went by, on the contrary, it got stronger. Finally, one day, I decided I have to get one, and a knockoff version would be the best solution to my dilemma. However, finding the perfect replica of a designer bag can be a daunting task – especially if you’re trying to replicate an iconic brand like Hermes.
But thanks to Jess (one of my blog readers) who had recommended a website called Perfect Hermes, I found possibly the best source for Hermes replicas ever! (A shoutout to Jess!)
Some of you wonder if they are still in business, so I emailed them and checked it. The answer is yes, and the link is still working.
To be honest, I was being hesitated because it still required a pretty big investment (high-grade replica Hermes bags are often over $1000, even more). Of course, there are plenty of cheaper sources on the internet, but why spend money on some barely satisfactory bags just to save a few hundred bucks? So I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase a Birkin 25 from them.
Review
Price: $1,400 USD + Free Shipping
Shipping: DHL
Time: Since every order is custom-made, they took about 2 weeks to make the bag and then the shipping took about another week.
Now the process has gotten shorter. When I confirmed whether they were still in business, the seller told me that their bags are available in stock since last year because they manage to expand their artisans’ team. But I’m not sure whether this applies to all sizes and colors, you should ask them again before buying.
- The bag was beautifully packaged, and bubble wrapped so it was flawless when it arrived.
- Hermes box, dust bag, ribbon, cards, etc are included.
Quality -10/10
- 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.
Accuracy -9.8/10
- The shape is well-copied, and the bag is beautifully constructed.
- The leather itself looks exactly the same, the color also looks accurate to me.
- The side profile and slouching are very nicely done.
- Hardware has a consistent shiny finish. The gold tone is not too brassy or yellow, matching the authentic one.
- Engraving is clean and positioned well.
- The logo stamp is visible, and very comparable with others I’ve seen online on Auth reselling sites.
Both the quality and the accuracy of the fake Birkin bag are fantastic! I am thoroughly pleased!
Satisfaction -10/10
I am more than satisfied with my first-ever replica purchase of a Birkin! I showed my friends (who have authentic Hermes) this cutie and they were all amazed at how lit this Birkin knockoff is!
Service/Communication -9/10
Working with this company was relatively easy – they took a deposit to kick things off, followed up with pictures of the finished product and when I approved it they promptly sent me tracking info. It was a fairly smooth transaction minus the fact that my DHL tracking number changed midway through causing some alarm on my end.
So if you’ve been considering getting a fake Hermes bag, they are worth considering.
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.
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 authentic 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 authentic 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 😘)
