Look out for my future picks!
I love the side by side comparisons! New to this site and looking for a bag for my fiancee and don't know much about all this yet. This is exactly the kind of straightforward reviews I need!

Hi Posh,
Wanted to chime in with my thanks for such great posts. Great reading and some useful links. Your posts motivate us to look our best. Someone recently bemoaned the fact that Americans (I can attest that this applies to many people all over the world) seem to be perpetually dressed for yard work!! Loved your post referencing Steve McQueen. Spot on! :thumbup:
Sent you a pm, but wanted to give you a bit of public praise also.

There's a lot of apathy in the world at large, and it starts at home, I think. If you don't care what you look like when you leave your house, you probably don't care about much else either. That's how I view it; it's something that pervades one's whole life.
In my mom's field, it's also usually the first sign of some kind of mental illness. :D
about the Mahina XL's feet.. I got my gf a Mahina XL rep from and it has four feet...
I just checked the Runway Handbags site and their Mahina also has four feet... :S

I will update the picture. Thanks for that!
This is an excellent list! There are several on this list that I have on my own personal want list - the XS Mahina and the Burberry bag to just name two. I don't think I'd ever buy a replica Hermes simply because, as you've stated, I personally couldn't pull it off. I drive a Jeep, not a Mercedes.
I'd love to have the Prada bag, but I've had difficulty in finding a replica looks authentic. I know that the majority of folks where I live probably wouldn't know the difference anyway, but I am a little anal; I can deal with a flaw or two, but that Fairy bag is more than I can handle.
Speaking of the XS Mahina, I have wondered if it is too small for my frame. I don't know how to put this well, but I'll give it a shot - I love the Mahinas, but something about the XL and the XXL really bug me. It isn't so much the shape, but I hate the part of the bag where the handles meet the actual bag. I really love almost everything about the XS, but I wish it was bigger.
Posh, your analysis was absolutely incredible! Thanks for the side by side comparisons. There are waaaay too many sites out there with serious rep duds, and it's been disheartening wading through them. There's nothing worse than carrying an obvious fake (or one that you can tell without checking the lining, serial number etc) eeks!!
Really appreciate it. Please please post more! Will definitely be looking out for more of your stuff =)
Oh, and my first (and now, second) post is dedicated to the queen of fabulosity!!!
ps: hope david knows what a gem he has in you hehehe
And here's my first post as well thanking Posh for a wonderful thread. Gosh, I'm sad it took me so long to find this forum! Now off to hunt for that elusive perfect rep Birkin..

I understand not liking a particular detail on a bag and then just saying to hell with the whole thing. Is it a detail you notice more with one color than another. The black bag obfuscates that particular to detail fairly well so you can still enjoy the whole Mahina effect, I think.
Thanks! Glad you're posting and getting involved. Was that a Kimora Lee Simmons reference? Because I LOVE her!!!Quote:

Great write up, especially for those looking for Christmas gift ideas ;) . Thanks for sharing Posh.
Omg amazing post. I've been searching for a while for an accurate replica of the XL Vuitton Mahina in Black. Excluding the bottom feet, how accurate would you rate the rest of the bag compared to the gen. Does the leather feel the same?
the Mahina is one of the best rep bags available!!
I got one for my gf from Catty and it is 1:1 with the gen in look and feel.

And it looks like DVS has answered your question AND has even given you another option as to a source from which to get your new Mahina. You are set, for now. Enjoy!:DQuote:

This might be a silly question, but who knows where to get a good Chloé Paddington rep? Preferably a tan one. I've been looking all over the place but most of them just seem off somehow, and I'm not a Chloé expert by far, so I thought I'd ask here!

Any site that has detailed pictures so you can compare it to the real thing. Sometimes hardware is the most glaring thing on this bag so that has to be seen closely and studied.Quote:
