More than half....when you can order a handmade Mini Kelly to your specs for $800...I just wonder what happens when these folks unload these bags. I pray they don't sell them as real.

That's what they do, sell it as real. I believe that's why Fashionphile and The Real Real have sold fakes before. It even passed their authenticators, they are that well made. (That's probably not saying much). The only way they find out is when they take it into H to the spa. Crazy!

What I have heard about her channel, is that she has both. Real and Superfakes, allegedly. If you look at her unboxing, she has the same Birkin shown above and the stamp is fine. I think the image above is a screengrab from a computer. And it could be just the angle. I agree on the stitching, especially around the handles and the very bottom where it comes to a point. The stitching looks like it meets and touches each other, which I find odd. But then again, I have seen some not-so-great stitching on H bags in resale shops too. If you look at her unboxing of the bag, there's an edit where she takes it out, with everything intact, and then poof the bag is opened and ready to go, sangles already tucked in. She may have done it so that to save time, but she went on to tell her story for another 25 mins. Even if it's a 25, when the sangles are released from the lock, it falls/droops. Maybe less if it was Epsom, but this is Togo. But I never saw that in her unboxing. Her first B was a Black 25. And she had a video of it debating on the black or gold, which I believe her black one is real. She was in the Boutique filming. IMO, if I was offered that bag with the stitching detail looking like that, I would have said something about it and probably refused the bag.

If she was smarter she could have got a fake with no contrast stitching, it would be less noticeable. ‍♀️

Yes, I know. Seriously if anyone was at Hermés and saw that craftsmanship, would you have accepted the bag, when you were paying 8K+? It's really hard to tell too besides the stitching and also the engraving on the hardware that says Hermés with the square on the side. I tried to skip through to see if she had any close-ups or details of the bag, but I wasn't able to see it.

Maybe someone else has seen close-ups? :)

Here's a closeup from an old IG story

Below is a real Birkin from Saclab

Her gold birkin is definitely fake. The stamping is off. I won't say what the differences are, but there are differences.

I have tried to look, but it's hard to see the sangles and the imprint of the "HERMÉS" on the GHW. I'll keep trying to see anything else! HAHA The H Busters!

Anyone else find it weird when influencers do “unboxing” and then they’re like “oh I got these things a few months ago but just never got around to unboxing it.”

Am I the only one who can’t wait to go home and take my things out of the box and start using/admiring it?

Who waits “months”?? I mean unless you got a cashmere coat in summer for fall ….but belts and cardholders?

I actually don’t get around to opening things right away (even a year) :( which is pretty bad in case an item is damaged. Also, I know people who buy things and wait a month or two to open them as presents for themselves even.
