There have been thousand’s of years of disputes and curiosity arising from luxury designer handbag replicas. Some say Triple A is the best quality out there. Others say Mirror copy is the best. So which is which, and what are the actual differences?

Today we are here to debunk the age-old question so that fans can understand clearly the quality level that they are purchasing and whether the price range is reasonable or just a rip-off by some online scammers.

In China, There are basically three grades of replicas that are considered ABOVE street level quality. We will not discuss the qualities that are BELOW street level here as it would be a waste of time.

Here goes!

Triple AAA — Reasonable craftmanship, imitation leather, moderate quality imitation accessories

Price range — $50 — $150 per bag e.g. LV, Chanel

One to one 1:1 — Very good craftsmanship, genuine leather, near 100% imitation of metal accessories

Price range — $250- $350 per bag e.g. LV, Chanel

Lushentic Grade — Craftmanship by pioneer crafters that worked in the original factory, leather using the exact same supplier as the originals, and metal accessories bought off from backdoor original factories.

Price range — $400 to $ 700 per bag e.g. LV, Chanel, and up to $2000 for Hermes Birkin Limited Edition

Here are some examples to illustrate the differences among these few quality levels:

So what do you fancy? Triple AAA, 1:1 or Lushentic quality?

Happy Shopping!
