Hermes Crazy

I know I get into grooves and then spend eons promoting one make over and over again.  I am really into Hermes right now.  I know.  I know.  A few months ago, I couldn't even utter the word without thinking, "garbage", but I'm telling you my rep sent to me some samples THAT I FINALLY GOT LAST WEEK and they were kick ass.  Kick Ass (a lot like the Canadian US hockey game that took place today - shameless plug, but what a game!!!!).

I'm thinking of a special.  A sale.  A promotion.  Remember me?  I love contests, specials, sales and promotions.  I swear I was born to advertise.

Here's the best part.  I think I will do a sale on Hermes replica bags.

They are VERY expensive and start at $300.00USD (not just my site...go to any "good" replica site and you will see similar prices).   Some Birkins handbags are around $325.00USD on my site.  I know, eh?

So I was thinking of having a sale.  A sale that lasts a month so that you guys can get your orders in for the 15th and 31th of March!  Not like the dud of a wallet sale I had for Valentine's Day.

Don't get me wrong, I sent a lot of free wallets but I was hoping that sale would start and finish in February.  I kinda forgot this little thing called Chinese New Year...major duh moment on my part.

So this is what I'm thinking.  I am thinking of having a sale on Birkins, Kelly and ALL other Hermes bags to get them promoted on the site.

I am also thinking of offering these as a promotional bonus:

If you buy an Hermes product from the site, for a limited time, you get the items shown in the above picture which include the Hermes box(!!!), dust bag, ID cards and tags.  Now usually there is no charge for dust bags and ID cards because they are novelty items, however, getting a box is HUGE.  it's HUGE.  My rep never, ever sells me boxes.  They cost too much to ship and they damage easily.  Just as an aside, and this will make you gag, but the Hermes bag on replica sites goes for $50.00USD as an add on.  If it's not an add on, trust me when I say it's included in the price of the handbag.   

If I get a good response to the Hermes special, I will upload all my Hermes pictures in a day or two so that you guys can see the entire selection...all 1200 pictures of classy Hermes handbags.

If it's any consolation to some of you that might be unsure if you want to get an Hermes product, I just started using my 40cm dark brown Hermes Birkin.  I absolutely love it!!  I have always liked a "flat, with shape, briefcase bag, over a large shapeless bag (like a Balenciaga or a Mahina - don't get me wrong, I love, love, love those bags but they can make finding something in a hurry difficult).

The only thing, in all honesty, that I'm not 100% about is that it has no strap.  It's handles only and I'm not good with always carrying something in my hand or on my forearm.  Man, I need my hands free!!  I am in love with everything else.

You have to see the leather on these bags.  It is Togo leather (bumpy grain) and it is just to die for.  Solid, strong, well put together.  I am telling you right now, in my most honest way, that if these Birkins did not cost  so much in real life, and thus make them a dead giveaway for replica item, it would be VERY hard to tell that the bag was a replica.

If the sheer prices of $12,000-$99,000USD did not give away that most of us cannot or DO NOT want to afford these bags, it would be very hard for the discerning eye to spot a replica.  That is how good the quality is. 

So I walk into the office for my going away party at work last week and first thing my boss said to me, "Jesus, we pay you too much!".   I told her it was a replica that i got through a "friend".

She immediately pulled me aside and quietly put her order in for one as well.  Great.  Now I have to "through a friend" to get her a replica too.  Nice.

My point is this folks:  My boss must be earning $700,000 a year by now.  She's a powerful woman in a major firm.  She kinda has the money to buy a real Birkin (not saying they'd sell her one) but she could afford it if she wanted to buy it (she wouldn't - she grimaced at $300.00 for the replica and I don't blame her) and she's perfectly fine with a replica.

Most around her will assume it's real (because she can carry it and has the earning potential to own it).  Some will correctly assume that it's a replica and she, a woman who can afford this bag, is totally fine with it one way or another.

Last piece of information here that is important.  If I do have this sale, I am thinking of pricing the bags around $275.00USD with shipping to most areas!!!  That is a steal.  Go ahead.  Check out any reputable site and see how much they charge for Hermes bags.  Most sites don't even offer them because they are just too expensive.

If you're interested in this special, let me know!

Hermes Alternatives

Some of you wrote to me last week and told me that you've resigned to the fact that an Hermes Birkin is just too expensive to pull off as a real one in your lives (hey man, welcome to the club).  You wanted Hermes bags but you did not want Birkin stigma.

I have alternatives for you!

Hermes doesn't just make a Kelly bag and a Birkin.  They have tons of other bags too.  They are super, duper pricey as well but man, do they ever look gorgeous.  And because they are not as distinctive as a Birkin or a Kelly bag and not in anywhere near the same demand, they don't get labelled "gotta be a replica" as quickly as the popular makes.

One of the best things about Hermes bags is the variety of colours.  I wrote about this in my Birkin post as well.  This bag alone comes in 6 colours. 

Under normal conditions, I'd post all 6 colours for you but my computer is doing a back up right now.  I left my old job last week and I had to give back a work computer (that I used unabashedly for handbags).  I had to transfer 80,000 images (no joke) to effing discs and then transfer those same 80,000 images my home laptop (which is what I should have backed up on to a long ass time ago but never got around to it). 

Naturally, the MOST important disc with my working pics, labelled from letters D-H (ummm, CHANEL!!, CHLOE!!, DIOR!!, DOLCE GABBANA!!, FENDI!! HERMES!!) is messed up.  It did not copy properly, sector this, has bad something or another and now is not readable.  Arghhhh.  I am currently installing a software that will hopefully be able to extract the corrupted data so that I can breathe again.

Drama, drama, drama.  Now even discs give me a hard time!

Imitation - Ha Ha Part II

So I hear from several of you that there is some chick out of Atlanta, Ga who is pretty much copying my site word for word and taking stuff from this blog, and passing it off as her own.

I love how some of you are like, go get her.  She even has your pictures with your watermark on them!  I know she does, folks.  I know of several sites doing the same thing. 

You know what I say?  More power to them.  The greatest form of flattery is imitation.  I don't blame other sites in stealing my stuff and my words (stands back all proud as punch).  I write well (debatable but I get my point across well) and I know my stuff.  If other people want to ride on my coat tails, hang on, it's a good ride.

There is plenty of business out there for ALL of us.  Replicas are in super high demand.  I don't need the Coca Cola monopoly on them.  I just do this for fun.  If someone else needs to steal my blog posts (and sound bitchy like me) and steal my pictures, hey, good on you.  Enjoy!

Thanks to all who have let me know.  I appreciate you looking out for me!!

Happy Shopping!! (God, I hope she doesn't steal this cheesy line as well!)

Gucci Babouska

This bag is in high demand of late. 

I can see why, it's just plain gorgeous.  Pictures do not do this bag justice.  It's very glittery and very sexy at the same time.  It is THE bag to have for a night out. 

I get those about 3 times a year now with my lifestyle, but I was lucky enough to be out with the girls last night.  I carried this bag and it looks fabulous. 

At dinner, I had 2, TWO, people come up to me to ask me where I got it, and then upon a closer look, saw the Gucci name and remark, oh, I would never think Gucci was so showy (clearly they do not know Gucci)!

Folks, that is always a good sign of a good handbag, real or not, when you get compliments or queries about where you got it or who makes it from complete strangers.  Remember people would not bother coming up to you and making conversation in a restaurant.  This bag definitely does not go unnoticed.  It is a real eye catcher.  On top of that it is a VERY good quality bag.  It is made well, and despite having risky rivets and decorations all over it, they are securely in place.  I don't recommend doing the monkey bars with this bag because you will break pieces off if you are TOO rough but you do not have to worry about standing there, having a conversation with someone, and having any thing come off mid sentence. 

The leather is great and it has a super luxurious feel to it.  The entire bag is a go getter.

It's one of the pricier Gucci bags at $290.00USD with shipping to most areas. 

Happy Shopping!!

Ha ha ha

What a week.  So I have left a job that I absolutely loved and moved onto another job that I'm also hoping I will love as much.  Life for me is about risks, and trust me, those risks don't always pay off.  They do however, no matter what, work out.  At least that's how I see things.

So I have some funny stuff to share with you all.  Firstly, a genuine ha ha ha.  I have had about a hundred people write in this week (that number really is no joke) and almost every single one of them started their query with, "hi, I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass but I'd really like to know if this bag comes in pink or if do you have this bag from this designer?"  LOL!  Okay, I know that pain the ass post was harsh but it needed to be to keep a very small number of crazies off my back.  Read this well:  YOU ARE SO NOT BEING A PAIN IN THE ASS BY ASKING ME QUESTIONS.  Nope.  No way.  You are asking me to do something I love.

You wanna know pain in the ass?  Here are examples of pain in the ass.  These start off mild to just downright, wow, you're a whole new special breed of pain in the ass...

PITA#1:  Hi, I just signed up for your website and it says "membership pending".  What does that mean? 

This is not really pain in the ass.  It just produces black stares and an, "alrighty, then".

PITA#2:  Hi, I saw that handbag so and so was $260 on your site but it's, like, only $135 on this other site.  It totally looks like the same bag.  How can you be charging so much more?  There is clearly no difference.  

Dude, you found a deal!  Congrats.  If you've already decided that the bags are the same, why bother telling me?  Seriously, you think that I'll lower my prices to $135 per bag?  Unlikely since any good bag, at reseller cost, is more than $135 per bag.  Imma thinking your $135.00 is a piece of junk being represented by some good or high end pictures.  Good luck with that!

PITA#3:  I wrote you at 9:00am, 9:02, 9:05, 9:09, 9:13, 9:17: 9:22 and I'm writing again now.  How come you haven't replied.  Just to make sure you got my email, I sent it to every single email account associated with this site.  Where are you?  How come you haven't written back yet.  Is there a phone number I can call?  Would that give me a response faster?  I don't know what is going on but I need to know if this bag is in stock.  I need to know!!!  I will literally die if I don't find out.  Are you there?  Please reply ASAP.  I'll write again in a few minutes!  I hope you reply the next time. 

Seriously, have a glass of wine or a hot chocolate.  I mean seriously?  Is your child sick?  Are you in need of medical attention?  What's that you say?  Oh! You're inquiring about a REPLICA HANDBAG!!! Right, now I'm getting the urgency!  I am no doctor but I am pretty sure no one has ever died from not knowing whether a particular Balenciaga bag comes in both dark blood red AND candy apple red.  Chill.  I think I hold record times in responding to people and so if I am taking too long to reply, it's definitely you.  I am probably not responding on purpose and waiting to see how long it will take for you to get bored/tired and stop writing.

PITA#4:  Hi, I am thinking of buying a bag but I only want a bag that looks so real that if I took it to the LV or Chanel shop the salesperson would give me hours of accolades on how nice my bag is; she too would be totally fooled by my $260 replica bag, because you know, I'm hoping that the salesperson is new and really stupid and totally doesn't know her products and hasn't been given a stitch of training by GLOBAL billion dollar conglomerates like Louis Vuitton,  Chanel and Gucci.  I'm hoping she likes my replica so much that she takes it around the shop and shows other customers how good quality the product is.  All the time, [giggle, giggle,] she has no idea she is losing her shit over a replica handbag.

I'm not sure if I should be selling you a handbag, prescription meds or some swamp land in Canada's north.  I'm still deciding.  Those stories you read on other replica sites about their replicas being so good that a customer of their site broke her replica LV bag, subsequently took it the LV store in Beverley Hills (of course it has to be the BH location - the story doesn't work so nice if it's the LV store in Manila, Phillipines or Buenos Aires, Argentina), where every single salesperson there is flabbergasted by the beauty of the LV replica, and don't even realize it's a replica, and therefore fixes it for her free! - That's just a story.  It's not true.  It has never happened.  LV sales people are pretty darn snooty, but they are definitely not stupid.   

In fact, I dare you to go take the bestest replica you have, from my site, from ANY site, the absolute bestest one you can produce, to the LV store and try to see if you can elicit the response noted above.  See if the sales person will lose her shit over your bag.  Go ahead.  I double dare ya.  I'm pretty sure LV sales staff is highly trained in spotting a replica.  If nothing else, PITA#4, they have these neat new things called "computers" these days.  These newfangled gadgets keep something called "serial numbers" on them.  These strange but fascinating numbers tell the LV salesperson everything [right down to the very day the handbag was produced, where it was made and the exact team of seamstresses, cutters, and assemblers who made it] she needs to know about a bag.  Here's something else that might be new to PITA#4, replicas handbags also have FAKE serial numbers.

PITA#5:  [My personal favourite for laughs, but least favourite to deal with]  Hi, I was wondering if you could do me a favour.  I am going to be laying down a ton of money for ONE bag ($260.00) and I was hoping that YOU could go to a department store and check the real bag for me against the fake ones you sell.  It's really important to me that everything matches up on the bag and so I need to know the exact measurements of a real bag and the replica bag.  I also need to know if the number of stitches on the front side match up on both bags.  I will REFUSE to buy the bag if it's not 100% perfectly the same as a real handbag.  My husband is an executive in a very large company and it's important for us to make an impression with our friends and his business colleagues. 

I also will not buy a replica from you or anybody if the serial number is not in the EXACT format as the original handbag.  I absolutely refuse to buy a bag if the colour of the replica is called something stupid like "Garden Green" on your website, when we all know that the original is called "Jardin Vert", because it's, like, a French company and like the names of the colours should be in French as well.  To me it`s a clear sign it`s a fake handbag if the names describing the colours of the bag don`t match up.  I read that on a site that highlights what to look for when buying a replica handbag.  I thought I`d let you know as well, in case you have future customers that ask for the same level of accuracy as me. [insert me laughing here]

I also refuse to buy...

I'm usually done reading by this point and have deleted the email.  Seriously, there are so many things here that don't match up.   Let's play Sherlock Holmes, shall we?

1. Your husband is an executive, yet $260 is a ton of money (I'm not negating that $260.00 is not a lot of money - it's just not a lot of money compared to an executive salary in a large company is all I'm saying);
2. You want me, ME, to go to a Macy's or Nordstroms and check features (which involve me to be there for at least a couple of hours with a measuring tape and a magnifying glass) for you (Girlfriend, you are a brave one or your under some very delusional impression that I really need this sale);
3. You adamantly state that you will refuse to buy the bag if the slightest little detail is off (makes me jump up and say, THIS IS THE SALE I WANT!  OH God, I hope she buys from me.  It will be such an honour!);
4. You're getting your panties in a knot because the CHINESE manufacturers and factories decided to call something Garden Green and did not stick to traditional French names (wow, you're now bordering on special breed of PITA and CRAZY);
5. And yes, because the colour arbitrarily given to a bag, by CHINESE speaking people, on a non official website, no less, should really be the deal or no deal factor when it comes to buying a replica handbag.  [mouths "wow" and does finger twirling around side of head motion]

So here's the skinny on the above notes.   If you're writing to me, and even if you write 100 times in a day, and you are asking questions about a bag, a colour, a style, durability, quality, looks, ideas for what matches, versatility, boardroom usability, sizes of bags, return policy, cost to ship to the Republic of Togo, different designers, good quality vs. bad quality handbags, your order, tracking number, or even just to chat about nothing to do with a bag, you are SO NOT being a pain in the ass.

I think we know each other well enough now to know that I don't skirt around issues and I would definitely tell you that you're kinda bordering on loose canon territory and that I have to go now.


Please I encourage questions.  I have two ladies that stand out yesterday who were emailing me asking about a bag or two.  One came right out and asked me, "can I return the bag if I am just really picky and don't like it?".  You know, there is NOTHING wrong with this question.  That is an awesome question.  It gets all the formalities out of the way.  It tells me exactly where she is in her line of thinking and in turn it allows me to give her an honest answer, therefore giving her the ability to make a decision on whether or not she wants to buy a bag.  There's no himming, no hawing, and no deceit.

I had another girl write to me several times and ask me about colours of bags and what would give her the most versatility and use, and if a certain colour of tan was too light or just right.  Again, these are good questions.  She needs to know something and she is asking valid questions.  There is no way I would in anyway bitch about these questions.  This is what I'm here for.   This is why I started this business.  I want to talk colours, designs, bags, styles, good, bad, ugly.  I would be a sour puss deluxe if good questions like these were being labelled as pain in the ass people.  Those are so not pain in the ass questions.  Those are questions that need to be asked to avoid disappointment later.  That makes sense to me.  If that kind of stuff upset me or anyone, then seriously we'd  be doing this for the wrong reasons.

Birkins, 35cm, 30cm, 40cm, 42cm, Silver Locks, Gold Locks, Oh My!

I'm not gonna lie.  I love to carry a Birkin.  I absolutely love the size (40cm for this girl), I love the feel and I am not shying away from the exclusivity and major opulence factor either.  I like those qualities and I have no problem fessing up to my own superficiality. 

There is no getting around this one, folks.  Birkins are so expensive that if you carry a Birkin people will automatically assume, because it's their first logical impulse to do so, that it's a fake.  Hey, if you carried a real Birkin, people will assume it's a fake too!   There really is no way around this one.  Some Hermes handbags cost more than what most people put as a down payment for a house.  They are uber pricey!!

And up until very recently the replicas were poorly made.  Stitching was all lopsided and uneven.  The leather was excellent but what good is  that if the stitching is lumpy, loose or crooked?  I mean stitching should be sharp, straight and even on a handbag, not coming undone and loose.

The factory producing Hermes products was recently amalgamated with another factory that has been making replica handbags for a long time.  The marriage was a good one since the Birkins, Kellys and other Hermes bags I'm seeing lately are pretty darn good.  As in very, very good!

Good Birkin replicas come in 35cm.

with silver hardware:

or gold hardware:

30cm which is ideal for the spring colours only.  The darker colours look funny and the bags look too small.  But having a pink Birkin seems to fit at 30cm!

in gold:

or silver:

and 40cm

with gold:

or silver:

There is also a half Birkin at 42cm.  It's very wide but short. 

with gold:

and silver:

About 8 million of you have asked me to bring in the Hermes bags and I don't see why not.  They are better than ever.  The Togo leather (the bumpy leather you see above) is divine!  Very strong.  Very good quality.  And very well sewn.  Durable and it will last you a good, long time. 

Maybe, just maybe, when I'm done running around trying to get over what Chinese New Year has done to me, we should have a sale?

Hermes handbags, real and replica are expensive.  They start at $300.00 for the replicas!  That's okay!  The real ones start at about $12,000!

Here's a tip for you guys in case you're new to the Hermes bags and Birkins in particular.  If you buy the 40cm (the mother of all bags - big, can hold a small computer, books, files, etc.) get it in a DARK colour.  It looks better and it looks more professional.  This would be a bad time to give into your craving for sunburst orange:

Don't get me wrong.  It looks fabulous.  Absolutely gorgeous, however, it's limited in it's wear and daily use.

If you are really into pink, orange or lime green, then get the 30cm sized bag.  It looks cute, matches you and doesn't overpower you.

Then there's this puppy:

What better way to let the world know that you're DEFINITELY carrying a replica (with mock ostrich skin to boot!!).  Because I know for a fact that if you had $12,000 lying around for a handbag, there is no way in hell a sane person would buy this bag.  Victoria Beckham gets her Birkins for free.  I have never seen her carrying around the multicoloured "Bozo The Clown" Birkin.

Alexander Wang

A reader of mine brought up this little treasure trove.  I've always liked this designer.  I love his coats and jackets.  They have the best fit I have ever tried.  His bags are young, fresh and funky.

He's big on the studs / feet on the bottom of a bag, and sometimes puts same studs all around the bag as well!

I don't think Alexander Wang is for everybody, but I do know that I've carried his stuff into a boardroom and had no problems.

The replicas are top notch.  Alexander Wang is relatively new to the scene however the replicas are very high quality leather, really well sewn and put together well.  Like them 100's of feet are attached firmly!

Alexander Wang products will be on the site soon enough and range in price from $270.00 - $290.00USD with shipping.


Happy Shopping!!

Well, Slap Me Silly and Call Me Martha!

I never thought I'd say this soon enough, ORDERS ARE MOVING!!

There is a God and hallelujah!!!

So I'm gonna go through stuff chronologically.  People have been waiting since the beginning of February and they get to go first.

I will start charging those cards and hope to get those orders out very shortly.  If you ordered after February 21, 2010 with the NEW Terms and Conditions in place, you guys already know that your orders will be going in for February 28, 2010.

Lastly, if you ordered some time between early February and up to February 21, 2010, expect a wait of at least 4 days.  I have a college kid helping me get through stuff as fast as possible.  I have a ton of bags that need to go out and I am getting through them one by one.

I will also be in touch with some of you live. We have some, umm, issues.  Nothing big.  Just need further clarification!

In the meantime, shop away, but keep in mind that your order will be processed February 28, 2010. 

Happy Shopping!!

Chanel Beauties

So I think we know each other well enough by now to know that I'm not usually crazy about Chanel bags.  Too dainty, too feminine and way too small for me.  Nothing that is flawed in the bag; it's just not for me.  Every now and then though....

...Chanel makes me look twice.  I do have to admit that I absolutely love the class Chanel bags exhibit.  They're shiny and fancy looking and they always make my head turn.

Love this bag.  Love this colour.  Love this style.  It's just perfect.  Look at how the mix the puffy odd fabric that would look nuts by any other designer, with a leather woven chain.  I mean look at it.  And they pick one of the season's hottest colours:  taupe.

 

This is a great a bag, however, and there is a BUT, chanel bags with the woven chain + leather are DELICATE bags.  They are not meant for people like me who want to carry everything we own in them.  To some extent, I'd go as far as saying they are not even meant for everyday use.  I know Coco Chanel (and Karl too) would have a heart attack if she saw me carrying a computer, a power cord, Thomas the Train pieces, lego, books, files, papers galore, my son's half eaten bagel, snot rags, etc. in this bag above.  And I know for a fact that Karl Lagerfeld would simply faint if he saw anyone carrying this bag day after day.

It sounds crazy but some designer bags are just not meant for daily use.  They are not knapsack worthy.  They are not meant to carry everything that we have in our bags from the past week around.  For strictly snotty purposes, they are meant to be chic, ritzy and fabulous.  No where in there is the word practical, which is why when I showcase a bag here, I always write "versatile".  

Regular people need versatility in their handbags.  I know I do.  I have no need for a clutch or teeny tiny little bee bop bag.  Yeah right.  Like that gonna come in handy for me.  I'd end up putting that little bag into a bigger bag and then after a week I'd be like, why am I carrying this useless bag?

This entry will lead into my next entry which will revolve around DELICATENESS.

Still In Love With Gucci

The Gucci factory is still making awesome replicas.  I know I'm getting this one next.

Guccissima leather, dark brown, just the right amount of metal to leather ratio...OMG, heaven!  Don't let the picture fool you, that strap can fit over your shoulder, provided you're not wearing a parka (then it will be snug and uncomfortable).

It comes in two colours:

I prefer dark brown as I wear darker coloured shoes, but I'm torn here.  I like the light brown one too!  That one, to me, will just stand out more and the leather over time will get nice and worn in, and of course, darken as well.

Tough decisions for a Sunday morning.

Gucci bags are $270USD and include shipping to most countries.

UPDATED:  found another colour.  I knew this one existed.  I just could not find the picture.

Happy Shopping!!

December Contest Winner!

I have to start by saying this was one of the hardest decisions I had to make.  Each entry I received was amazing and the way all of you have helped people in your community is just plain awesome.  Good on you, folks, to be reaching out and helping others when they need it most.

Having said that, I have a winner, but I also have a runner up.  These two ladies both helped their own communities, despite overcoming their own hardships of being a full time law student in Miami and being a full time business owner in India, and have reached out to their community to help people less fortunate.

I use to be a law student.  I know that it's virtually impossible to make time to shower and eat regular meals when you're reading case after case and writing briefs, dispositions, essays, reports, summaries, etc., let alone also reach out and volunteer precious time.

Having said that, my grand prize winner is Anisha D. from Chandigarh, India and, even though I wasn't going to have a second place winner, my runner up is Leslie M. from Miami, Florida!

CONGRATULATIONS, ladies!  Good job.  I have been in touch with you both regarding your prizes.

Longest wait for a bag of the day

This has to be the longest wait for a bag of the day.  I have recently met a new factory owner who is making really good Versace bags.  Versace is very popular these days (for their clothes) and so their bags are right on up there.

When Gianni was alive, this house of fashion was the cat's meow, then it kinda went down hill after this death for a bit, and in the last couple of years, has come right back with killer style. 

Their handbags have always been a bit "out there", not classically styled, but definitely chic and ritzy, different and versatile.

Versace bags can go to a boardroom and definitely out for a night on the town.

Versace bags are priced like most bags, $260-$280USD, including shipping for most.

Versace bags will be on the site shortly!
