I just bought a new Hermes bag, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s a fake. I feel like a million bucks as I carry it around with me, but I’m proud of the purchase but also a bit skeptical. What if someone finds out that it’s not real? That would be devastating!
I became obsessed with finding out the truth about my bag. I was Googling different compilations of the brand, comparisons of supplies and design numbers and tearing the bag apart inside. I studied the details of my bag. I looked at the original pieces from the brand and even wanted to compare the samples myself to really determine the authenticity.
I was so sure that I was doing it right but I just didn’t know for sure. I asked myself, ‘How do you really tell if your Hermes bag is a fake?’. I was really frustrated because I just couldn’t figure it out. So I decided to take a break and just relax.
I talked to my friend about my dilemma, and she asked me, “What were your feelings when you saw the bag? Was it love at first sight?” I had to stop and think for a minute. My answer was that it was indeed love at first sight. I was captivated by the bag and knew that I would not take no for an answer. After hearing this response, she advised me to just go with my gut.
So I went with my gut! I believe in the authenticity and quality of my purchase. I trust my judgement of the brand and the craftsmanship. Most importantly, I trust my own instincts about the bag.
I’m really grateful for the advice! It was a difficult decision to make, but I’m really happy that I decided to stick with my own gut feeling. I’m over the moon with my purchase and there’s no way I’m turning back now.
So if you’re ever in doubt about purchasing a luxury item of any kind, I’d definitely advise you to trust your feelings and go with what your gut says. That’s the only sure way to determine authenticity.
