After so many years, this note serves as a reference and guide — 90% of your questions can be answered here:

1. What’s the real difference between your products and those from the boutique stores?

There’s virtually no difference when compared to originals.
The leather, hardware, and bag shape are almost identical.
Aside from a few key alignment points with minor variations, other areas are nearly indistinguishable — you could even hand it to a boutique sales associate, and they wouldn’t notice; only an expert could tell.

But — they’ll never be 100% identical, and here’s why:

  1. Version differences:
    The official versions (ZP) make small updates every March and major updates yearly.
    There are also regional versions — French, Italian, American, Mainland Chinese, etc.
    Even among official versions of the same model, differences large or small always exist.

  2. Production and process limits:
    There’s a professional term called “batch difference” — look it up.
    It’s common across dyeing, plating, and leatherwork.
    So, between different batches, subtle differences in texture, color, and gloss will always exist.

Additionally, these are handmade bags, not standardised, machine-made electronics.
Even bags made by the same craftsman will vary slightly in stitching or structure.

👉 So, even authentic bags from the same line are never exactly the same.
Those familiar with or dealing in pre-owned luxury know this well — feel free to verify.

PS:
If you believe “same model = must be 100% identical,” please do not order.
That’s a misconception — even if we sent you an original, you’d probably still complain.
Go visit a secondhand store and compare — you’ll see differences across versions, batches, and production sites.
Come back to order after verifying, or just buy from the boutique if you’ll feel safer.

PS:
Authentication isn’t about spotting differences — that’s easy.
The real skill is knowing which differences are normal and which are not.
That’s what makes an appraiser valuable — otherwise, everyone could be one.

Example:
Our H Custom Series has no connection whatsoever to the “Wang Sijia incident.”
Read “The Secret of BKC Custom” for a quick understanding of our brand.

Another example:
For LV monogram canvas, some appraisers judge by whether four points form a diamond or square pattern.
This detail is invisible to the naked eye — you need a macro lens!
(PS: Some of our LV bags also use the diamond monogram. But remember — you judge a bag by its overall craftsmanship, not one micro detail. Some poor copies may also have “diamond” prints!)

In real life, you’re not walking around with an appraiser and a magnifying glass.
No one’s going to inspect your bag that way.

2. Can it pass verification or authentication?

First of all — fakes and originals will always differ, no matter how perfect they are.

  1. Occasionally passing authentication is normal — appraisers are human too.

  2. Some new batches initially pass more often, but appraisers share info quickly:
    “As a factory owner myself, I’m in several authentication-related groups — dozens of appraisers discuss which models just dropped and what to look out for.”

  3. Many customers have passed authentications, but we always clarify — it’s a probability, not a guarantee.
    Fundamentally, there is a difference.

👉 The essence of our products: “100% confidence to carry them out the door.”

Anyone claiming “100% pass guarantee,” or using terms like factory direct, QC batch, customs stock, etc. — are scammers.
These existed years ago but not anymore.

3. How can beginners buy reliable products and avoid being scammed?

Here are a few tips:

  1. Focus on the product itself, not on fancy labels.
    Terms like MB, SP, channel stock, daigou grade, etc., are all marketing fluff.
    As a factory owner, I can tell you — our products are sold to 10–20 vendors, including those using all these buzzwords.

  2. Buy through secure links — 
    The market’s messy — some sellers aren’t real suppliers, just middle agents with flashy pages.
    You may wait two weeks for one item, then get blocked after payment.

  3. If you plan to buy regularly — choose a few sellers you trust.
