OMG ... Fake Hermès Collier de Chien!!

Look what I've found ... A few fake Hermès Collier de Chien (CDC) cuffs have made their way to eBay! Please be careful when buying CDC online.

What is collier de chien? Literally, it means "dog's collar" in English. CDC was first introduced in 1940s. It was born after a customer asked if there was an accessory that could be used to attach her dog's leash. She wanted free hands for shopping while looking chic at the same time. Then, Hermès came up with this CDC design.

This is a fake CDC in black leather with silver-colored metal hardware. A few areas on the cuff have poor finishing. The best part is this CDC comes with all Hermès packaging.

Another fake CDC that comes with a (fake) store receipt. Remember that receipts do not prove authenticity of an item. You have to examine the item itself. Do not rely on receipts, dust bag, box, tags, etc.
