I Bought Fake Oran Sandals
It was 2 a.m., and I was browsing eBay listings when I came across a stunning pair of pre-owned orange Hermes Oran sandals priced at just $140. They were my size and looked so pristine! I couldn’t believe it; Hermes Oran sandals for under $200? As I examined the pictures, I noticed peculiar details like the stitching and the sole stamp. In that moment, I realized I needed to acquire them to compare these sandals with the authentic Oran sandals from my collection. Without hesitation, I added them to my cart and made the purchase.
Below are a few of the eBay listing photos with the fake orange oran sandals. I am pretty much the seller still has active listings with the same photos.
Yes, I purchased a counterfeit pair of Hermes Oran sandals for research purposes. When I received them, I was amazed by the quality of these fake sandals. If you aren’t a Hermes aficionado, you might easily mistake them for the real thing. However, they cannot compare to the craftsmanship of genuine Hermes Oran sandals.
In this blog, I will compare the counterfeit orange Oran sandals with my authentic Hermes Oran sandals, which I have acquired directly from the Hermes store and from reliable websites such as Fashionphile and The Real Real.
Real vs Fake Oran Sandals – Authenticity Guide
1. Dust Bag of Oran Sandals – Real vs Fake
- Dust bags from fake Oran sandals are not the same size as the 6.5″ x 14″ dust bags for authentic Hermes Oran sandals.
- The logo on the dust bags of fake Oran sandals is usually poorly printed and is brown in color; the authentic ones have the logo in black.
- The logo on the dust bags features a man graphic with a larger head than the authentic one, and the man’s pants and boots also differ.
- The stitches on the dust bags of fake Oran sandals are uneven.
- The cord of the fake dust bag sandals is of low quality.
- The dust bag fabric of the fake Oran sandals is thinner than that of the authentic ones.
2. The Sole of Hermes Oran Sandals – Real vs Fake
- The “HERMES” on the fake sandals has a different font than the authentic ones.
- The letters on the fake sandal look thin and bolder than the authentic ones.
- The fake sandal has the number “37” in bold, with a smaller font than the authentic ones.
- The “semelle cuir” and the “MADE IN ITALY” on the fake sandal do not look clean and flawless
- The sole of the fake sandal is lighter in color and made of a different material than the authentic one.
- When you run your finger along the small heel of the authentic sandal, moving between the lighter and darker color soles, you will feel a smooth transition. In the fake sandal, you will feel a rough transition.
- The heel on the sole of the fake sandal is poorly made in comparison to the authentic one.
- The two visible nails on the sole heel are bigger on the fake sandal than on the authentic Oran sandal.
3. The Insole of Hermes Oran Sandals – Real vs Fake
- The stamped logo on fake Oran sandals has the incorrect font. The letters on the fake sandals have more space between them than on the real ones.
- The soles of the fake Oran sandals have dents and bumps.
- The soles of the fake Oran sandals have holes and imperfections on the soles.
- The cushion on the sole of the fake Oran sandals is thicker than that of the real ones.
4. Top Stitching of Hermes Oran Sandals – Real vs Fake
- The top stitching of the “H” shape on the Oran sandals is not stamped as deep as the authentic ones.
- The thread used on the fake Oran sandals looks shinier, perhaps because it is made of synthetic materials.
5. Hermes Oran Sandals Serial Number – Real vs Fake
- The Hermes Oran Sandals have a serial number on the inner side of the strap. The same serial number is stamped on the right and left sandal. Only sandals made before the year 2010 do not have this serial number.
- Authentic Hermes Oran sandals have serial code stamps where the sizes of the letters and font may differ, but the engraving is always present and appears flawless.
- The serial number on the fake Oran sandal is near the seams, which is never the case with authentic sandals.
Key Takeaways
- Hermes Oran sandals are crafted with premium leather, precise stitching, and flawless finishing details that counterfeit pairs often fail to replicate
- The Hermes logo stamp, sole, and insole construction are some of the easiest ways to spot fake Oran sandals.
- Fake Hermes Oran sandals often use lower-quality materials, uneven stitching, incorrect fonts, and poor packaging compared to authentic pairs.
- Buying Hermes Oran sandals from trusted retailers, reputable resale platforms, or directly from Hermes is the safest way to avoid counterfeits.
- If you are buying from eBay, make sure to buy from sellers that offer an “authenticity guarantee”. That way, the seller is required to send the product to eBay first for authenticity verification, and if it is verified, it is shipped to the customer. Otherwise, if the deal sounds too good to be true without an “authenticity guarantee,” it is most likely fake; therefore, pass on the offer.
