Authenticity

"Do you think my/this bag is real?" 
The greatest fear of any shopper getting an item not from store. 
The other question I get often is " Do you think this looks real enough?" 
Sometimes I even get statements like " There's no way to tell, I don't believe you." 

Thankfully, there is. One just has to take enough time and effort to look at the bags and you'll realize that the doppelgänger really doesn't cut it. 

The really excellent replicas however, will fool many a hermes lover and even some collectors. With replicas getting better and better, authenticators have to be more shrewd and specialized. 

Thus when dealing directly with a seller, always bring along an experienced eye. Preferably get it authenticated. I personally hold Bababebi to higher esteem. However there will always be certain limitations as to what a photograph can convey. But hopefully with the above 2 pointers, it will save you from 70% of the replicas out there.
