How To Spot Bad Replica Bags

Oct 20, 2011 / Louis Vuitton - Eva Knox

Replica Louis Vuitton Handbag

A lot of readers ask me what they can do to spot poor-quality replica bags online, so today I’m going to talk a bit about how you can tell if a bag is worth buying or not. This should help you guys become smarter shoppers, with better bags and fewer headaches!

The first thing is to make sure that the site you’re looking at is using real photos. By this I mean real photos of the replica bags, not of the real bags! Always do a Google photo search of the product you want first, and see if the images at the site have been taken from somewhere else. If so this is a bad sign! A proper retailer will always take their own pictures.

The first knockoff handbags I bought were terrible, but once I got the hang of it, I found it was easy to find great bags, like this Louis Vuitton Neverfull I picked up last week. So don’t be discouraged, and never be shy about returning a bag you don’t like.

Find out what materials are being used in the bag you want. Never buy anything in vinyl or plastic, as these cheap materials will never look right. What does the interior of the bag look like? Make sure it has a proper lining – luxury bags always have leather interior. I always try to bring up a picture of the real thing as well as the replica and have them side by side on the computer screen so I can compare the color and the print.

Once you have a bag in your hands, there’s a few other ways to tell if it’s one of those cheap knockoff handbags. Check to see that it has the right size, weight and feel, and that it comes with serial number, tags and dust ruffles.

  6. Erin M ~ 10/24/2011 at 11:13 pm

    Eva, I’ve been reading your articles for a little over a week now and have been looking for replica sites in the meantime, and came across this one:

    http://www.handbagsbase.org/

    -Do you think its legit? They have their own pictures at different angles, and the description spelling seems alright, but I’d like your opinion before putting down a purchase with them. Thanks for any help!

    • Eva Knox ~ 10/26/2011 at 2:43 pm

      I`m waiting on a purchase from these guys as we speak ! Should have an answer for you very soon…. :)

  7. Lesha ~ 10/26/2011 at 9:37 am

    Hi , you seem expert in replica’s (: and i wanted to ask you what do you think of this one : http://www.ioffer.com/i/cuoio-m40143-della-borsa-di-neverfull-millimetro-del-monogramma-di-louis-vuitto-n-473898340 .. to me it look alright , but i dont know how to spot poor quality ._. its my first replica, i want to buy from PV but since i’m a Teenager i have to pay with my own money.
    I just dont want to walk in street and know that people knows i’m wearing fake , i want a fake that looks identical :)
    What do you think ?

    • Eva Knox ~ 10/26/2011 at 2:42 pm

      What are the payment methods accepted by the seller ? Let me know
      The pictures are stolen first of all, that is the reason why I`m asking

      • Lesha ~ 10/27/2011 at 8:19 am

        You can pay with Western Union and get 3% discount or pay with Paypal ..

        • Eva Knox ~ 10/27/2011 at 11:01 am

          Then don`t even think to make a purchase. If credit cards are not accepted in the first place, then something fishy is going on…. RULE no1

          • Lesha ~ 10/27/2011 at 2:34 pm

            Ok thanks (: ill buy one good replica at PV and use it for a year than 4 bad replica’s that last only one month(:

          • Eva Knox ~ 10/28/2011 at 1:30 pm

            Hahahhaha good point :)

  8. desel ~ 10/30/2011 at 5:49 am

    • Eva Knox ~ 10/31/2011 at 8:48 pm

      This is a PV purchase
      One heck of a to die for Neverfull

  9. Angie ~ 10/31/2011 at 8:18 pm

    What website would you recommend for a Hermes bag?
    I was looking at luxuryreplicabags.com. What do you think?

    • Eva Knox ~ 10/31/2011 at 8:21 pm

      I made a purchase just one time and was happy about my order. Got another review in from a reader an it sounded like she was almost satisfied, around a 70% perfection in replica. I`m planning to get another now to see where it stands now. What Hermes are you thinking of getting ?

  10. Angie ~ 10/31/2011 at 8:24 pm

    Garden party bag or bombay

  11. Angie ~ 10/31/2011 at 8:26 pm

    I figure the less labels the better

  12. Jennifer ~ 11/01/2011 at 2:49 pm

    Hi Eva,

    How long did it take for your neverfull to oxidize into that pretty brown???

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/07/2011 at 11:03 am

      The oxidation process depends on how often you wear the bag. I always let mine darken naturally, and considering I`ve been weaing the Neverfull quite often, it turned into that beautiful color in two months and something from what I recall. I also recommend others that are “in a hurry” fastening the process using tanning oil, which works just as great. Why do I choose the natural way? I`m just into classics methods :)

  13. Eve ~ 11/08/2011 at 4:40 am

    Hello Eva, Just found your site by accident. I noticed that your really good at determining which would be the best for replica purse. I was willing to spend a little bit of $$$ to purchase a Chanel Medium classic flap in gold chain. What website would you recommend me to get a replica Chanel Classic without it having to look fake. Please let me know. Thank you!!

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/08/2011 at 2:33 pm

      Hey Eve, great to have you as a reader :) Check out this site here http://iker.co/qk

  14. Angela Nordskog ~ 11/16/2011 at 7:27 pm

    Can you please tell me where I can get a LV Monogram Vernis Alma GM? They only had the smaller one at PV. Thank you! I love reading your blog!

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/18/2011 at 3:46 pm

      Try Beu-bag.com and let me know if they still have it :)

  15. Angela Nordskog ~ 11/16/2011 at 7:44 pm

    I should of been more speific – LV Alma Amarante. PV does have this but it is the smaller version, I would like the bigger bag.

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/18/2011 at 3:45 pm

      Then you should check Beu-bag.com :)

  16. Sam ~ 11/18/2011 at 11:55 am

    You recommend PV but the color of the handles of the Damier canvas is wrong and the print on the Damier azur speedy 30 is a darker blue . Is it possible to even get an exact replica ?

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/21/2011 at 1:54 pm

      I suggest you link me to an exact product Sam, because as an owner of so many bags from the Damier collection, I cannot agree with what you just said.

  17. Marie ~ 11/19/2011 at 11:59 am

    Hey Eva,

    been reading your entries for a while an I must say: They are very enlighting. I have spotted a bag, that I really like: The Tom Ford flap over zip bag. Unfortunately it is only sold on sites, you absolutely could not recommend. Is there any chance that you can point me to another direction?

    That would be great!

    Best

    Marie

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/21/2011 at 1:42 pm

      Try gifthandbags, I remember they used to sell this brand, but I`m not sure if they still do. Let me know !

  18. Clara Novoa ~ 11/19/2011 at 12:43 pm

    Hello, where can I find a good coach replica bag? Any feedback I will really appreciate. Thank you.

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/21/2011 at 1:42 pm

      Coach replicas are really hard to find these days. Only a few websites will sell this brand, and it won`t be good quality. That happens because Coach handbags are more on the affordable side…

  19. Monique ~ 11/21/2011 at 9:58 pm

    I am looking for a LV Monogram Vernis Brea MM. Do you have any sites to recommend?

    Thanks

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/22/2011 at 11:31 am

      I suggest you try Beu-bag.com ! :)

  20. m ~ 11/28/2011 at 6:21 pm

    looks like beubag was shut down??

    • Eva Knox ~ 11/29/2011 at 2:26 pm

      M, I’ve check it and beu-bag.com is still running :)
