Quick answer

There is no official size database for counterfeit Hermes bags. Every chart you find online for a replica was copied from a real bag, estimated from photos, or made up by the seller. The only figures you can check against something documented are the measurements the brand publishes for its own models and the dimensions auction houses record on individual lots. Treat any 1:1 dimension claim as a rough number until you compare it to those figures.

Why replica size charts disagree with each other

Three things cause the drift.

  • Leather behavior. Togo, Epsom and Clemence bags of the same nominal size measure a few millimeters apart once the bag is filled and settled.
  • Copy of a copy. One seller copies another seller's chart, rounds the numbers, and the error stacks up.
  • Marketing math. Figures get nudged so a bag sounds bigger or closer to the original than it is.

Reference dimensions for the models that get copied most

These figures come from published brand and auction records. Sizes are listed as width by height by depth, in centimeters with inches in parentheses. A few millimeters of variation between seasons and leathers is normal.

How to check a listed size before you trust it

Work through these steps in order. You will know within a few minutes whether a chart is worth anything.

  • Write down the exact model and size number the listing names, such as Birkin 30 or Kelly 28.
  • Pull the documented measurement for that size from a brand product page or an auction lot listing.
  • Compare the listed width, height and depth against the documented figure, one dimension at a time.
  • Ask for a photo of the bag against a tape measure at the base seam, not across the widest point of the body.
  • Check the handle drop on its own. A Birkin 25 or 30 handle drop runs about 10 cm (4 in), and sellers often list a drop that is 1 to 2 cm off.
  • Measure the flat, empty bag yourself when it arrives, then compare again.

    • Red flags in a size chart

    • Only "small", "medium" and "large" appear, with no numbers.
    • Width is listed but depth and height are missing.
    • The chart matches a different model. A 32 cm width with a 9 cm depth is not a Kelly 32.
    • Numbers change between the product page and the order confirmation.
    • No return policy covers a bag that arrives off spec.

    Legal reality

    Counterfeit goods are barred from import into the United States and are subject to seizure and destruction by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Selling items that carry a counterfeit trademark exposes a seller to civil suits and criminal charges under U.S. trademark law. That risk applies whether the listing says replica, inspired, or nothing at all.
