Hermès International S.A., or simply Hermès, is a French luxury design house established in 1837. It specializes in leather goods, lifestyle accessories, home furnishings, perfumery, jewelry, watches and ready-to-wear. Its logo, since the 1950s, is of a Duke carriage with a horse.

It was in 1997 when renowned luxury shoe designer Pierre Hardy first conceptualized and created the Hermès Oran sandals. He merely envisioned it to be a simple and almost invisible flat-“like a bare foot with something painted on it,” he said in an interview. He wanted a simple sandal that just about any woman can wear. A part of the Year of Africa collection of Hermes, the Oran was actually inspired by the house decorations of Africa's Ndebele tribe.

2) Now, fast forward 20 years later, it's become a year round classic shoe staple for fashion enthusiasts and the like. Because it's simple and it still makes sense, the sandal transcends time and trends. This iconic piece of footwear comes in a whopping 40 different designs. From bright and bold hues to neutral and classic tones, you'll definitely find one that suits you perfectly.

The Hermes Oran are a really nice pair of sandals, and as nice as they are, lots of replicas are manufactured trying to copy the real deal, and at the end of the day, nothing really compares to the genuine sandals.

This fake vs real Hermes Oran sandal guide will show you everything you need to know in order to differentiate between the legitimate sandals and the fake ones.

First of all, Hermes’ logo looks too little detailed, as the horse is not perfectly visible, when it should be the opposite way.

On the other hand, the genuine Hermes shoes have their horse in the logo looking more defined, as all of its shapes are easily visible.

Up next, the fake shoes have their “HERMES” text looking too thin and too tall, while the authentic shoes have the same text logo looking thicker and smaller.
