HEREMES: The blind stamp under the strap is usually the first giveaway. People even sell these fakes on eBay as authentic for thousands of dollars! So how do we spot the fakes? Here are a few pointers: Then there are some fakes called “AAA” that look so much like the real thing that the stores have a hard time spotting them. You can go on Canal street and pick up the “birkin” or the “spy bag” for a mere $50, but those are so obviously fake that you’d be chased out of Hermes if you ever took one in there (Louis Vuitton will actually confiscate a fake and try to have you arrested and fined!). Reproductions of designer bags are everywhere these days.
