Authentic Hermes Birkin Bags
How to Buy Authentic Hermes Birkin Bag Online
There are many FAKE Hermes Birkin bags complete with replica Hermes boxes, dustbags and forged receipts from a Hermes store being offered for sale on eBay and other sites. Unsuspecting buyers are paying thousands of dollars for these FAKE Hermes bags originating from China and Korea. I have seen these bags being sold for under $50 in stores in China.
It is very unlikely you will be able to purchase an authentic Hermes Birkin bag on Ebay for under retail price (ie US$5,500). This is because there are several dealers on eBay who would buy any authentic Birkin that was under $5000 and resell it at a premium of at least $1,000 more than retail. You will notice that most authentic Birkins listed are at least 30% more than retail because the demand for the bags is so much greater than the number available for sale in stores and online. In short many women will pay a few thousand dollars over retail price to buy the bag they want NOW.
So If you are looking for an authentic Hermes Birkin on Ebay, avoid the Birkins listed at under US$5000…ALL are fakes….The
Ebay dealers will pay up to that price and sometimes more for an authentic Bag. Don’t buy an authentic hermes birkin online Before you read my post: Ten Tips in buying an authentic hermes birkin online

About Hermes Birkin Bag
The Birkin bag is a handmade purse by Hermès and named after actress and singer Jane Birkin. The bag is a symbol of wealth due to its high price and elusiveness to the public.
Authentic Hermes Birkin Bags’ prices range from $9,000 to $150,000. Costs escalate according to the type of materials. The hermes birkin bags are distributed to Hermès boutiques on unpredictable schedules and in limited quantities, creating scarcity and, intended or unintended, exclusivity.
In 1981, Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas was seated next to Jane Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. She had just placed her straw bag in the overhead compartment of her seat, but the contents fell to the ground, leaving her to scramble to replace the contents. Birkin explained to Dumas that it had been difficult to find a leather weekend bag she liked. In 1984, he created a black supple leather bag for her, based on an 1892 design. She used the bag for herself then later changed her mind. Nevertheless, the bag has since become an icon.
