Article | Counterfeit Hermes Birkin Bag or Not?

99handbag.com | 2010.03.09

Everyone is expecting to own a genuine Hermes Birkin bag; however, it is not an easy thing to do. Due to the top handicraft, such kind of bag can’t be bought just by money. It requires good relationship or powerful authority as well as patience.

According to my understanding, Hermes Birkin Bag is hard to be imitated. While strangely, I do find a style of handbag which looks similar as the Birkin. By the first sight, you are prone to mistaken it the counterfeit of Hermes Birkin bag. But actually it is not!! This kind of handbag comes with Birkin design but was fully paved the colorful gemstones of different shapes on the surface. What is more, it is authoritatively crafted by a brand called Leah and Bliss.

A lot of people doubted that this style of bag is the replica of Hermes Birkin but its company reflected that it is not a bedazzled fake Birkin but rather a Birkin-inspired bag. The concept of this bag is to be young and playful and to resemble the wearing of large, chunky jewelry. It is crafted from hand-sewn Italian leather and then paved colorful gemstones of different shapes. Moreover, its price has a large gap with that of a Hermes Birkin Bag, starting from $295 to $495. Mostly, the personal orders can range up to $1,000. While a Hermes Birkin bag would cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As to me, I still see a Hermes Birkin. Though having some detail in different, it has an iconic look like the Birkin. I think most people would feel uneasy about carrying such kind of bag because it is so striking. What is more, the changed style is not my taste. Then, what about your opinions? Don’t you think it is inspired too far?

  1. In their defense, it is called a knock off version. It all boils down to this.

    If a cheaper knock-off version could be legally sold in such a way, why can't fakes be the same? Isn't that double standards?

    Hence, I believe that knock-offs are just as bad as fakes. No doubt knock-offs don't carry the original brand, but they replicate the look. BAD BAD BAD!!
