Genuine Hermes bags are handcrafted by skilled craftsmen. No stitching in the bags will ever be out of place. The materials used on Hermes Birkin bags are all authentic, like the leather it uses. You can feel the authenticity of the bag just by feeling the material. And remember, no Hermes Birkin bag would ever be sold for half the price! So before purchasing an authentic Hermes bag on an auction or a sale, think twice before reaching for your wallet. Owning an original Birkin bag is a huge privilege, and the back will most definitely last a life time.
