Busted! Counterfeit Hermès Birkin Ring

As reported by Dailymail UK on 15^th June 2012, Hermes managed to catch the mastermind behind the production of counterefeit Birkins. Apparently, this is a large scale operation involving some of the brand's employees. It is a shocking news. So, now we know where all the mirror replica Birkins come from.

Read more of the story here.

Multi-million-dollar counterfeit Birkin ring revealed to be run by Hermes STAFF as police bust global knock-off operation

By Victoria Wellman

Luxury design house, Hermès has finally caught the people responsible for peddling imitation bags - and some of them work at the company. Using internal monitoring systems, Hermès along with the French national police, spent a year watching out for clues and any abnormal behaviour.

Two individuals have now been fired though several others who remain working for the design house are suspected to be involved. The surveillance was part of an investigation into the international crime ring that robs the brand of millions of dollars every year.

During the raid, police found clandestine workshops bursting at the seams with precious leather skins for making the counterfeit accessories. The ring that has distribution outlets in Europe, the U.S. and Asia, is thought to be able to generate $22million through one branch alone.

The Paris public prosecutor told WWD: 'Hermès is very satisfied with the efficient and diligent collaboration established with the national gendarmerie in this case and reiterates its relentless commitment to fighting counterfeiting.

'This action puts an end to the fraudulent project in progress.'

According to the French National Anti-Counterfeiting Committee, Hermès is not the only victim of such a racket which costs France $7.5billion in lost revenue annually.

In response to the threat, French luxury goods association Comitè Colbert has already taken action to raise awareness of the issue by launching a campaign with playful slogans such as: 'Buy a fake Cartier, get a genuine criminal record' and 'Real ladies don't like fake.'

The ads are to remind travellers passing through the country's airports of the zero-tolerance approach the police has towards the buying and selling of fake luxury products.

With its iconic Birkin bag and extravagant silk scarves, Hermès is a popular brand name for counterfeiters.

Hermès CEO Patrick Thomas' attempts to have internet providers, search engines and social media sites held accountable for facilitating the sale of fake goods seems to be paying off however, even if slowly.

A U.S. court recently ordered 34 websites offering imitation Hermès items to pay the company $100million in compensation.

'Eighty percent of objects sold on the Internet under the Hermès name are fakes,' he fumed. 'It's an absolute disgrace.'

Another Fake Hermès Birkin

Are you willing to throw $11,500 away for this fake Birkin bag? Definitely not me! You can't really tell that it is a fake from afar but a fake is still a fake ... No matter what. Please study the pictures carefully and understand that there are actually high-grade fake Birkin bags in the market. If you are unsure about a bag, please ask someone to authenticate it before buying. Trust me, it will save you a lot of headache and frustration.

Fake Hermès Birkin

Pheeeew ... I understand that some people want to get their hands on Birkins without the waitlist and without having to splurge on thousands of dollars before being offered one. Actually, it is pretty frustrating especially if you live in Asia where the availability of Birkins is very low. Some people have to wait for years before getting one and some people don't even get it. 

So, the other option is to go to resellers and online websites. I am not saying that all these resellers and websites are not legit. It is just that you have to be extra careful when you decide to buy something from other sources which are not the authorized retailers.

Taking as an example, this gold Birkin 40. For your information, it was listed on a reputable online website. The bag had been authenticated prior listing and passed as an authentic. Yet, this is actually a fake. Take a look at the pictures yourself.
