Beware of Chinese manufacturers who sell “real” Perkins at a cheap price

This translated article depends on a conversation with Koyaana Redstar, the luxury purchase head in Luxe du JourLuxurious online boutique for ancient designed handbags. It was released for length and clarity.

I have worked for the other Rebag, The Realreal and Eassignment Ensignment and has 20 years expertise In the re -sale industry.

With the definitions that are now concerned, my Tiktok page is immersed with videos from Chinese manufacturers that it says produce luxury handbags for brands such as Hermès and Louis Vuitton, and urges American customers to buy directly from them.

They are not only promoting them as deception. DUPE culture includes finding a less expensive version of a very desirable element, such as Walmart Birkin. The deception is not specifically designed to repeat luxury elements.

Here is why I think people should think twice before buying from those Tiktokers.

Hermes? Think again.

Some brands are known to make their products in China – no one is surprised.

But some Chinese China have gone further and claimed that they are making advanced goods that slap with luxury brands only.

But this is not true. Hermes, for one, has Applapsed again in these claims.

Hermes has invested a lot of money in Atelors in France and other parts of Europe. They are also handcrafted by trained craftsmen.

Some people pass on Tiktok and Instagram and think that if something is placed on the Internet, it should be real. Do not believe everything you see on Tiktok.

Do not expect similar quality

If you look at these Chinese versions of these bags – this is where my job experience comes – I can tell the fake Tiktokers versions at a glimpse.

The handles are the wrong form, and the proportions are suspended. Fake bags are often a dead gift. They are either very long or very round.

Some bags in videos are very wide below, some are very narrow.

She watched a video where she was a girl who stood up what she said was young, saying that she got it directly from the brand manufacturer.

But she was fake. He did not even have the right handle – a flat handle instead of a regular buried handle, which immediately raised a major red mark. She also had a leather pill that I had never seen on the Hermes bag in my whole life.

Why don’t you buy a resale?

When buying a new authentic reselling, you have the option to sell it. You do not have this opportunity with fake.

I recommend that if you are looking for a luxury handbag at a noticeable price, buy the used bag instead of people who claim to be the Chinese manufacturer of the brand.

The cost may be a problem for some buyers. If luxury stores raised prices due to tariffs, you may look at a bag outside your budget.

But you can also buy bags on resale platforms. People can usually find famous bags in excellent or even completely new condition, and prices will remain less than retail.

Think why buy a fake bag

If you are still dead to buy a bag you see on Tiktok from someone who says it is the Chinese manufacturer of the luxury brand, I urge you to ask yourself why you want the element.

I will not look at someone who decides, “I cannot bear the cost of a $ 10,000 bag, but I love the shape and I think it will suit my life style.”

If you like it, you have bought an inexpensive trick because you cannot bear $ 10,000, more strength for you. I made this decision because that was the best for you.

Don’t buy a fake bag that is passed as Hermès Birkin, a sign and everything, just because Tiktok. Please do not wander with the fake Birkin, saying: “Look at the Hermes bag,” when it’s, in fact, Hermes.
