Herm\u00e8s<\/a>\u00a0Birkins can’t be\u00a0called anything other than iconic.\u00a0<\/span>These exquisite handbags are a wardrobe essential – courtesy of their exclusive status and timelessness.<\/p>\n

The Birkin doubles as<\/span> an investment<\/span><\/a> since they are often sold for much more than their original price due to their exclusivity. Unfortunately, the appeal of this bag is matched by its reputation as one of the most counterfeited bags on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowledge and buying from reputable resellers (<\/span>like us!<\/span><\/a>) are absolutely essential to avoid heartache and enablement of black market activity. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 8 tell-tale signs to ensure you\u2019re buying an authentic Herm\u00e8s Birkin Handbag:<\/p>\n

The Price of A Birkin<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"price<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve shopped around for a Birkin Bag before, you\u2019ll quickly become aware of the fact that they\u2019re<\/span> quite difficult to find<\/span><\/a> – there is very limited stock in Herm\u00e8s stores, thus they provide for an interesting (and very exclusive) resale market.<\/span><\/p>\n

A 2017 study discovered that the value of the Herm\u00e8s Birkin Bag has seen a 500% increase in the last 35 years,\u00a0as a result of an astounding 14% increase each year.<\/p>\n

Dust Bag & Authenticity Card \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Hermes<\/span><\/p>\n

Authentic Herm\u00e8s products should be accompanied by a branded, cotton flannel or velour material <\/span>dust bag<\/span><\/a>. These should feel soft, yet durable, and should have distinctive stitches closer to the bottom of the seam. The logo has distinct attention to detail,\u00a0hence you should beware of over-simplified logos.<\/span><\/p>\n

An authentic Herm\u00e8s piece never comes in plastic wrapping. If you\u2019re looking at a Herm\u00e8s Birkin accompanied by an orange authenticity card and\/or hang tags to prove its authenticity, that item is 100% counterfeit. The only authenticity papers that come with any Herm\u00e8s handbags are <\/span>CITES<\/span><\/a> which accompany bags made with exotic skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

High-Quality Leather<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Birkin<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that only the finest leather from select origins are used for Herm\u00e8s handbags.<\/p>\n

The leather of such quality has a particular feel and even smell that cannot be duped. The leather should never be puffy, nor look coated or painted\u00a0because\u00a0leather used for Herm\u00e8s handbags are dyed.<\/p>\n

The Herm\u00e8s Birkin is typically lined with Ch\u00e8vre goatskin, which looks and feels like grained leather, dyed a tonal colour that coordinates with the outer leather, and both the outer and inner leather will always be a colour straight off the Herm\u00e8s colour chart, which are also almost impossible to replicate.<\/p>\n

The Shape of A Birkin \u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"shape<\/p>\n

The \u201cposture\u201d of a Herm\u00e8s Birkin bag exudes a signal of status and discipline. An authentic Birkin bag doesn\u2019t slouch, bulge, and neither do its handles. It stands upright and symmetrical on 4 feet positioned evenly apart – a feature attributable to the superior quality leather.<\/p>\n

It should be noted, however, that a bag can be a little oversized or undersized, which is usually an indication that it\u2019s authentic because they\u2019re handmade, thus not every single bag will be exactly the same.<\/p>\n

Check The Herm\u00e8s Logo <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"check<\/a><\/p>\n

A high-quality Herm\u00e8s logo appears beneath the front flap of a Birkin bag. Each Herm\u00e8s Birkin bag has the phrase of dreams lined up – evenly and centred: \u201cHerm\u00e8s Paris\u201d \u201cMade in France\u201d.<\/p>\n

Check that the accent is correct on the \u00e8 in Herm\u00e8s and all other spelling for that matter. \u00a0Authentic label stamps are lightly embossed into the leather in gold, silver or as a colourless imprint, where metallics usually match the hardware on the bag.<\/p>\n

Most noteworthy here is that Herm\u00e8s never attaches leather tags or metal nameplates with its logo onto the bag.<\/p>\n

Metallic Hardware <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Birkin<\/span><\/p>\n

Authentic Herm\u00e8s handbags are fitted with hardware or metal accents that generally feature one of two finishes: gold plated or palladium finish. There are, of course, rare finishes applied to custom bags and unique designs, including 24K plated gold, silver palladium, ruthenium, burnished, and guilloche. <\/span><\/p>\n

The use of precious metals means that the metal on an authentic Herm\u00e8s Birkin handbag will not tarnish. The studs on the bag are designed to protect the precious leather from damage from contact with various surfaces – needless to say, the finish on the studs always match the finish on the buckle hardware, lock, and keys. Even with heavy duty use, the studs should maintain their fresh appearance and resist major scuffing.<\/p>\n

Lock, Clochette, and Keys <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Lock,<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, there\u00a0are many\u00a0specific details on both the lock and keys that reveal authentic Birkins from high-quality fakes. The pair of keys for the lock come enclosed in a leather clochette, which is looped onto the handle of the bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Locks on newer models feature an engraved serial number on the bottom, which correspond with the serial number on the set of keys. Bear in mind that the locks on Herm\u00e8s bags didn\u2019t feature any serial numbers prior to 2000. These will instead carry a Herm\u00e8s stamp and a single number on the bottom which should still correspond with the key number.<\/p>\n

The clochette cover should be the final piece that houses the keys is made of one single piece of leather – not two separate pieces sewn together and should be able to lay flat in the clochette with no puffiness.<\/p>\n

Stitching and Workmanship<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Hermes<\/span><\/p>\n

Herm\u00e8s bags are handmade with a special type of stitching that has been around for 2 centuries in France. The entire Birkin bag is sewn by hand with the utmost care by expert artisans. With this in mind, these bags can take\u00a0more than 48 hours to make. They\u00a0should, for this reason,\u00a0always look hand stitched.\u00a0In other words –\u00a0not completely perfect, but slightly angled, tight, precise, and always follow the same direction. <\/span><\/p>\n

Particularly things like\u00a0loose or hanging threads are no doubt\u00a0the work of a counterfeiter. Flat, even stitching too is a sign of a machine stitching and\u00a0most probably\u00a0a fake Herm\u00e8s bag. Upon inspecting the interior, the zipper on the inside pocket should lie perfectly against the horizontal zip line; zippers should never lay in a perpendicular to the zip line.<\/p>\n

We hope this list exemplifies the care and craft taken to create an authentic Herm\u00e8s Birkin bag, and why it is such a\u00a0worldwide favourite.<\/p>\n
