Generally, the levels of high imitation bags of brands are divided into B, AB goods, A goods, A goods, super A goods, one to one.
(1) B and AB goods: usually called B goods and AB goods. The only thing that looks like the real thing is probably the LOGO. You can even find a wallet or bag and stamp it with the trademark. It doesn't matter whether the manufacturer has produced this model before. The important thing is that it has the "LOGO" printed on it. Most of them are street stalls, and the prices are very cheap. Ingredients of the entire bag: The main fabric is the worst hollow material. Worst ingredients. Worst hardware ever. Worst craftsmanship. (Note: The main fabric is the patterned part. The ingredients are white, and goods A and above are paired with leather)
(2) Goods A: Goods A can be said to be mid-range goods. The texture is slightly better than Grade B, the leather and stitching workmanship is average, and the packaging is slightly better than Grade B. But it's still passable, and it won't rot after a long time, but unlike the real thing, it will turn into a waxy color over time. The ingredients of the entire bag: the main fabric is ordinary hollow material, the ingredients are second-layer leather, ordinary hardware, and ordinary handwork. (Note: The main fabric is the patterned part. The ingredients are white. The leather is divided into the first layer and the second layer, and the toughness of the second layer is very poor)
(3) A product: A product is also AA product. It can be said to be mid-to-high-end goods. The surface texture is good, and the craftsmanship is already required. Attention has also been paid to details. The whole package looks classy. Ingredients of the entire bag: The main fabric is solid material. Ingredients: top layer of skin (note: does not change color). Ordinary hardware. (Note: The main fabric is the patterned part. The ingredients are white. The leather is divided into the first layer and the second layer)
(4) Super A product: Made of imported cowhide, it will change color to honey after use Wax color. It changes color immediately when exposed to water. The production process is very delicate and the flowers are right. Right size. It can be said to be the same as the original version. Because the price is reasonable and the product quality is good, it is loved by most people. Ingredients of the entire bag: The main fabric is high-quality solid material. Ingredients: Imported discolored leather. YKK Hardware. (Note: The main fabric is the patterned part. The ingredients are white. The leather is divided into the first layer and the second layer)
(5) One to one: The so-called 1:1 is that the leather is made of imported first layer cowhide It is made and will change color to beeswax color after use. It changes color immediately when exposed to water. The production process is very delicate and the flowers are right. Right size. It can be said to be the same as the original version. All bags are strictly imitations of the original products. The difference from Super A is mainly in manual work. The craftsmanship of Special A is more delicate. Attention is paid to all details. It can be said to be more beautiful than the original. hehe. (Because many of the original ones are made by hand. The imitation ones are of course more beautiful than those made by machines). These packages are more complex in various aspects. Therefore, the factory quantity is relatively small. Therefore, the price is relatively expensive; but my suggestion is that if you want to buy the original version, it is better to buy this grade. It may be difficult for experts to distinguish this product.
Authentic bags in LV stores generally cost several thousand to tens of thousands, and bags with important functions cost more than 10,000 yuan. As the world's most famous luxury brand, it can only be afforded by a very small number of people, and only a few people can use it. Imitation LV products are similar to other copycat styles. They have only slowly emerged since 2002. Due to their low prices, they can satisfy the general public's dream of owning branded luxury goods. Therefore, it is loved by many middle- and low-income people. When this industry first started to develop, the general manufacturers and merchants were very rough, and the materials and workmanship were suitable for ordinary income earners as the consumer target group. At that time, the basic common name was only A goods. Slowly after 2004, some manufacturers began to try to make high-quality imitations, and the consumer groups also expanded to middle-class consumers and some higher-income groups, and the quality of their products became increasingly comparable to genuine products, both in terms of materials and quality. The workmanship and minute accessories are becoming more and more similar to genuine products. If they are well made, it usually requires experts in the industry to tell the difference. At present, the main production and wholesale base of LV imitations is still in Guangdong. Through the development in the past few years, there are currently 50-60 large-scale manufacturers, but they mainly produce super-A products. Only those who can make products with quality comparable to genuine products have grown to 50-60. There are about 10 companies, varying in size. For safety reasons, basically manufacturers will not arrange for customers to pick up goods if they are not very familiar with them.
Because other imitations at the lower level of the pyramid are of inferior quality and unstable, advanced users in mainland China generally prefer LV one-to-one bags.
It is indeed not easy to achieve the one-to-one standard of LV. Of course, the first requirement is that the size and appearance of the bag must be the same as the real thing. The pattern has been made almost the same as the real thing. The most important thing is that there should be no sloppiness in the materials, hardware, workmanship, etc. LV is very close to the original one to one, with a similarity of appearance and workmanship of more than 95% to the original.
1. The fabric is made of high-grade fabrics
It is impossible to completely copy the high-grade canvas fabric for LV bags, but we can use the closest high-quality fabrics on the market. LV is more than 95% similar in appearance and workmanship to the genuine product.
2. High-end hardware accessories
For LV one-to-one comparison, you must first choose good hardware materials for accessories, which are not easy to fade and paint, have a good protective layer, and look Heavy, thick, textured, smooth and smooth. The color of general locks and chains should not be too bright and eye-catching, and they should look perfect from all angles. The requirements for pot nails are: First, choose high-quality hardware and non-electroplated products. The zipper should open smoothly and naturally, and the hardware buckle should open and close smoothly and have a very clear sound. The teeth of the zipper are very thick, and the distance between the teeth is very close. Currently, the best zippers on the market are YKK zippers, which are made of the best brass. They are very easy to use, beautiful, and not easy to oxidize and fade. Zippers are an important inspection standard. Some zippers are electroplated and will all fade after a few months, making them ugly.
3. Leather matching of fine genuine leather
General leather matching has three parts. One is the hand strap, which is divided into crossbody strap, shoulder strap and hand strap. It is the leather piping of the bag, and the third is the decorative strips, which are similar to tassels. The most important requirement for matching leather is that it changes color when dripping water. Of course, the requirement of discoloration due to dripping water can be achieved even with super-A quality goods. When comparing LV one to one, you have to look at the materials used to match the leather. Generally, there are top layer of leather and second layer of leather. One-to-one LV bags must use top-layer leather. The top-layer leather is very thick. If you look closely, you can see that there are small pores on the leather. The second layer of skin is generally thin and very smooth. Calfskin and sheepskin are suitable for soft and hard leather, because they mostly serve a protective role, and they need to be able to adapt to the friction between hands and shoulders.
4. The strong lining and inner lining cloth are also made of lining cloth made of materials similar to the original ones.
The production and processing requirements such as stitching are very high. This can be seen by checking the three-dimensionality of the bag body and the neat sewing lines. The accessories are consistent with the original: LV is matched with LV and original in a one-to-one ratio. The same production serial number, as well as instructions, special dust bags, special gift bags, etc.
