Authenticate Other ItemsHow to Tell if a Hermès Bag Is Real: Key Signs of Counterfeit Hermès Handbags
Spotting a fake Hermès bag can be difficult, especially with counterfeiters getting better at mimicking the luxury brand’s iconic styles. However, there are still several signs that can help you perform a basic Hermès authenticity check before turning to a professional service. Whether you're researching how to authenticate a Hermès bag or just trying to avoid a costly mistake, here are some of the most reliable indicators of a counterfeit Hermès handbag:
Sign 1
Inferior Leather Quality
Authentic Hermès bags — especially Birkins and Kellys — are crafted from premium leathers like Togo, Epsom, and Clemence. Fake bags often feel overly stiff or plasticky, and may have a chemical smell. If the leather doesn’t feel luxurious, it probably isn’t.
Sign 2
Incorrect Hermès Stamping
The logo should read “Hermès Paris Made in France” and be evenly aligned, with clear, crisp font. Learn how to check the Hermès stamp carefully — it should be properly embossed and not printed. Uneven letters or faded print are immediate red flags.
Sign 3
Misplaced or Flimsy Hardware
Hermès uses high-quality, heavy metal hardware, often plated with gold or palladium. The engraved markings should be clean and sharp, not etched poorly. Counterfeit hardware may feel light, chip easily, or be the wrong color tone.
Sign 4
Incorrect or Missing Date Codes
Every Hermès bag has a date stamp and a craftsman's code, usually hidden on the interior. Use a Hermès serial number lookup or Hermès code checker to cross-check the authenticity. Missing, misplaced, or incorrect stamps are a common counterfeit sign.
Sign 5
Uneven Stitching
Hermès artisans use saddle stitching — done by hand, not machine — for incredible durability and aesthetic. Sloppy, irregular, or loose stitches indicate poor craftsmanship and likely mean the bag is not genuine.
