I am a very seasoned Hermes reseller and I have seen and sold bags from Omas, Beausac, and Jacky. First I want to say that many people say that Omas is overated, this is not true. Jacky bags are in no comparison at all to Omas and Beausac Hermes Birkin bags. Jacky quality is nowhere close to the others because her birkins are mishaped, and her fjord leather is NOT Jford leather. Beausac has beautiful birkins, but some of them the coloring is way off, and Beausac creates many of her own colors that Hermes simply does not produce. I have noticed her Parchment white, and Curry are not correct. Beausac bags do not have good hardware, I have had the inside zippers to break on her bags, and the handles on Beausacs birkins are too thin and flimsy. The leathers that Beausac uses are beautiful and very close to the authentic Hermes leather. Beausac Hermes Birkin bags many times are shaped correctly, you may get a Beausac bag that is not shaped correctly on one side. Overall, she has beautiful birkins, but never order a bag has been sitting in her factory, only order the newly produced bags, or the bags that you have special ordered for her to produce. As for Omas, his birkins are 100% shaped correctly, the stamps are cleaner, his bags always come with the correct number, he never will send you a bad number lock key like 121 that is a known fake. Beausac and Jackie both have Birkins with the wrong number lock and keys. Omas has the correct Clouchette stiching, Omas has the most beautiful stich overall from the other vendors on his bags. Omas bags are true to the authentic color. Omas birkin bags that are not made from authentic Hermes leather, I think the leather is a bit too stiff compared to a authentic birkin, but the overall postive aspects of his bags out weigh the one negative which is the togo leather is not as supple as it should be. I can say that Omas authentic Hermes leather for Birkin bags makes his bags as close the authentic bag that you will get. My clients who have paid top dollar for my Birkins has complained about every bag at least once from Beausaic and Jackie. BUT Omas bags I have NEVER had ONE COMPLAINT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT FROM AN OMAS BAG, FROM MY CLIENTS, OR EVEN FROM FRIENDS OR FAMILY. Just remember the old saying, you get what you pay for. This is totally true. Oh yes I forgot to add that Beausic has Amazing Chevre Leather that she makes some Birkin colors in that is just like Authentic Hermes Leather.

I've been eyeing the Donna Hobo since Catty posted it on her site - I think your pics have convinced me to make a purchase

Do you love Catty's Maxi flap? I have one in black caviar with SH from her and just adore it. I've compared it to the auth and the differences are so minor that I'm sure most people wouldn't notice. B)

Good to hear from a happy a Catty maxi fan, are indeed great bags. I really do love my maxi flap I got from Catty. I'm thinking about getting another one in another color. Everyone says jacky's Chanel's are the best but I think Catty's are pretty darn good too. I highly recommend her caviar maxi's.

Cloudyblue, thanks a lot. I'm really pleased with Catty's AW hobo. She told me her AW supply is from the same factory as Jacky's. She even quoted his name....lol. I think they're really best friends.

TrendHaven: Interesting that you were a regular buyer from Jacky but were unaware that Jacky's NOT a "her". This isn't a thread for sellers to promote themselves.

ohhhhhmy: I think the Work looks great on your shoulder!! Rock it!! I also love the PT!! You should def get one next time!

ame: The boys will do a flat clutch if they can get the pattern. Anyone have an auth they're willing to part with for a few weeks? They won't harm the bag!

 

[TrendHaven]

I have been a buyer from Jackie since 2007 I had no clue if she was a man or a woman. LOL. I am not trying to promote myself, please dont take offensive, I just have been reading this blog, and alot of people do not have correct information on these vendors, I am just trying to save people time and Money. Thank you.

 

[amethyst_sparkle]

TrendHaven: WOW long post there. Haven't seen you in this thread before. Howdy. Thanks for the info but yeah, Jacky's a dude.
How much are Omas's bags versus Beausacs?

 

[bubuREE]

I do buburee, I can post pic. for you if you want

o yes! please do!

 

[TrendHaven]

Thank you guys for letting me know, I always thought Jacky was a woman because he is so organized, and nice, most Men vendors are Mean and blunt like Omas. To be honest we really don't know the truth about their gender, I just go with my instinct. I have been reading this blog for awhile, and I just had to let everyone know from my experience. I think some vendors have several people answering emails and MSN IM's. We are really very nieve to think all of this business is handled by just one person. I have many years experience in this business, and I dont think that is the case at all.

Beausac 35cm Birkin bags in Togo and Chevre Leather are about $530.00 with Shipping added. 40cm Birkins are about $630.00 shipped. Swiftleather is about $480.00 shipped.

Omas 35cm Birkin bags with non authentic leather are about $750.00 shipped, and His 35cm Authentic Leather are double the price, they are anywhere from $1100.00 - over $1300.00 depending on the demand of the color, and the size.

 

[amethyst_sparkle]

YIKES!! wow that's hardcore. If I was willing to spend $1100 on a bag (which I'm not, as it's ridiculous) I would definitely not be spending it on a fake. I mean, for that much money I could get an authentic Bal. And then at the same token, for that much money I could get 5 NBFs, which is truly what i'd rather have any day

That's not to say I'm not interested in one though. I still am.

 

[TrendHaven]

That is true, but I have sold those 1100.00 bags for up to $9000.00 so its totally worth it, especially when you are dealing with exotic colors like Brighton Blue, and Ceil.

 

[shopaholic48]

wow have you been selling those birks as authentics?

 

[bubuREE]

That is true, but I have sold those 1100.00 bags for up to $9000.00 so its totally worth it, especially when you are dealing with exotic colors like Brighton Blue, and Ceil.

[ZenEssence]

Catty's chanel is the same as Jacky's??

 

[Peaches_]

Just saw the pics of the praline & it looks way too white for me. I was after something more beige & warm. Oh well. Saved myself $300

Agreed. Authentic Bal or 5 NBFs for me too

 

[Funkyshow]

TrendHaven Thank you so much for all the valuable info on the Hermes Birkins. It is all really useful for me cos I'm a Hermes lover. I did buy a couple of Hermes from Jacky and to be honest with you they are not that bad considering the amount I paid for them.

My mum has a few auth Hermes Birkins and Kelly's and I have compared them side by side with Jacky's. There are some obvious flaws I agree, but I think they are passable to the untrained eye. People don't generally grab your bag from yoou and inspect the stitching.

That said I would not carry my Birkin in certain cirles when I know a few of the gals have the authentic.

There might be some truth to this. My parcel from Jacky was from a gal's name address in HK, and the return address is to another gal in shenzhen.

That is true, but I have sold those 1100.00 bags for up to $9000.00 so its totally worth it, especially when you are dealing with exotic colors like Brighton Blue, and Ceil.

gulp!
