Instructions
Step 1
Hermes Birkin bags are hard to come by, which is why even those that want to purchase a new one, are put onto wait lists. Many used Birkin bags are sold for the retail price, and upwards, due to the fact they are so hard to get by. A new Hermes Birkin bag sells for $6,000, or more (depending on the style and materials used). So if you see a New one being sold for a couple thousand dollars, it’s just a "high quality" fake.
Step 2
The first physical sign that a Hermes Birkin bag may be fake, is the leather. Hermes is very particular with the quality of leather they use, quite simply they only use the best. If you’re unsure about the quality of the leather, it’s definitely a fake.
Step 3
Hermes Birkin bags come with a lock and key. Both the lock and key will say Hermes on them, and they will also come with a matching engraved code.
Step 4
Hermes Birkins are embossed with markings, they do not use a metal nameplate inside (which is common with many fakes).
Step 5
All New Birkins will feature the signature orange dust bag, older used bags may have a tan colored dust bag but they suspended manufacturing those a short while ago and are rarest.
Step 6
Keep in mind that Hermes bags NEVER come with a paper hangtag on them. If you see this in a listing, it’s a fake.
