How to spot fake Hermes Kelly bags

You can spot a fake Hermes Kelly bag by checking the “HERMÈS PARIS MADE IN FRANCE” text. Fake bags always have thicker inscriptions, or sometimes they’re visibly thinner than needed.

Another good indicator of a fake Hermes Kelly bag is the handler. The fake Hermes Kelly bags are most common to have their handler improperly shaped.

1. Hermes logo

In the real vs fake Hermes Kelly image above:

• The counterfeit Hermes Kelly bag has the S” too thick because of the inking at the bottom of the letter.
• The fake Hermes Kelly bag also has the letter “S” in the “HERMES” floating at the top instead of being in line with the rest of the letters.
  • The fake “S” in the “HERMES” text is placed a little bit higher than the rest of the letters.
• The same flaw is visible in the “PARIS” text: The fake bag has the letter “S” thicker than the real “S”.
• The “MADE IN FRANCE” text is too thin, improperly shaped and less opaque than the real bag’s print.

2. Handler shape

In the fake vs real Hermes Kelly bag image above:

• The fake bag has its handler improperly aligned, as it is crooked.

On the other hand, you can notice how the authentic bag as its handler is straight, shaped the same way all around.

In order to get this tell right, you have to pull the handler up in order for it to stay straight. Then, see if it is crooked or as tall as the handler met on the authentic Hermes Kelly bag.

3. Strap inscriptions

You can notice in the fake vs real Hermes Kelly image above how the fake bag has a few issues:

• The letter “S” in the “HERMES” text is too thick.
• In the “PARIS” text, the letter “S” is a little bit lower than the rest of the letters.
• In the same “PARIS” text, the vertical leg of the letter “R” on the left side of the letter is too thick.
• As for the “MADE IN FRANCE” text, you can notice how the fake bag has the letters “F” and “R” connected, while the legit bag does not have any of its letters connected.
• The letter “C” in the word “FRANCE” is too thin on the fake bag.
• Finally, the letter “E” in the “FRANCE” text is too thick on the replica Hermes Kelly bag.

4. Extra label

As for the fourth and last step of the guide on how to spot fake Hermes Kelly bags, we are going to check the fake vs real Hermes Kelly bags extra labels.

In the fake vs real Hermes Kelly image above:

• The fake bag’s extra label has its stitching at the top right corner looking too thick.

On the other hand, the authentic Hermes Kelly bag has its stitching on the label looking thinner all around the label, while the fake bag has its stitching too thick.
