Known for luxury goods, by 2008, Hermès had 14 product divisions that encompassed leather, scarves, ties, men's and women's wear, perfume, watches, stationery, footwear, gloves, enamelware, decorative arts, tableware, and jewellery.


Possibly the most popular accessory from Hermès and a worldwide famed bracelet, the Clic Clac H earned its moniker following the sound it makes when fastened or unfastened. The Clic Clac H bracelet for women comes in three variations and can be worn solo or stacked in varied colours.

How to spot a fake Hermès Clic Clac
Unlike most of the bracelets from Hermès, the Clic Clac H is not made of leather. Instead, it is made using either gold-plated or palladium-plated metal and highlighted by enamel. The design is minimal, which means it is easy to forge. So, how can one tell a real one from a fake? Let us guide you.

Here are seven easy steps to spot a fake Hermès Clic Clac H bracelet:

1. The gap

The first tell-tale sign to identify a fake Clic Clac H is the gap between the ‘H’ and the enamel. If another leg of the ‘H’ can fit into the gap, then it is likely a counterfeited one.

Fake Hermès bracelets tend to run smaller than authentic pieces. Cross-reference the dimensions with those listed on Hermès’ website. Also double-check the weight of the bracelet. Because bogus bangles are made of far less expensive materials (like plastic or resin), forgeries are noticeably lighter.



4. Leather Stitching

All Hermès leather goods are hand sewn. But there is a fine line though between the natural imperfections that come from sewing by hand and the rigorous standards set by Hermès. Closely examine the leather stitch; the stitching may not be flawless but it should be pretty close to perfect, evenly spaced and no sloppy or loose ends.


Do all Hermès bracelets say made in France?

The bracelets made circa 2010 or later should have 'MADE IN FRANCE' on one side of the hinge. On the other side, 'Hermès' should be engraved in all caps and accompanied by a letter or symbol to signify as the date stamp

Original Collier de Chien bracelets have their hardware well affixed to the leather. The O ring which hangs from the hardware should be closely secured with no visible gasps. Authentic O rings are also a smooth, continuous piece of metal with no visible seam.
