Duping the Birkin- Birkin vs Teddy Blake

- Something a bit different today. I've got my Birkin and the Teddy Blake Caty bag side by side for an in depth comparison.
Price of the Teddy Blake 14inch- currently $549 (reduced from $789). Exotic- appearing bags are $649 - Jak na to + styl
Excellent comparison video! Just what I was looking for. 6 years later, and it's still bringing value out here. Thanks so much! ♥
I SWORE that the Teddy Blake was the black bag and my jaw dropped when you said it was the Birkin. I have been FOOLED.
that's the whole problem with the TB bags! it is illegal, I posted a lengthy response above that explains why!
To the untrained fashion eye I can see why you were FOOLED.
SAME!
Same!!
Me too!
LOL before you clarify which is which, I had thought the black one is Teddy Blake and the grey is your real Birkin hahahaha
Maple Tse me too lol 😂
Me too lol
ME TOO !!!!!
Me too omg 🤦🏻♀️
I thought so too!
I’m surprised that everyone feels a way about this bag but no one is upset about Gucci copying Chanel’s classic flap with their Gucci marmont collection?! Or every brand knocking off the Gucci horsebit loafers? Every brand copies each other. Don’t be a hypocrite and approve of one copy and not approve of the rest! Anyway loved the video and you convinced me to by my 2nd TB bag. Xo
There is a big difference between copying the style of another designer and copying their very product.
I agree, they all copy each other just like in the automotive industry. As soon as any company notices that a certain style is popular they all start to "copy" each other. Its business and to be honest I will never get a Birkin on my salary so for me I can enjoy the style without have to sell a kidney.
Urma Bee isn’t their product just essentially another design? Idk why people care so much about these multimillion dollar companies being ripped off/copied. Lol let me know when they start to pay some of your bills. :)
No, it is not "another design". It is a 1:1 copy.
it is only a 1:1 copy if they have the Hermes Paris stamp with the alphabet year stamp, Hermes dust bag and box etc. some people can afford an Hermes bag but handbag is not top priority in their life so they don't want to pay a lot of money for one yet they like the style of it so why not go for alternatives. life is too short and full of ups and downs to be fixated on whether a bag is a copy. there are more important things in life.
Great comparison! So torn about the Teddy Blakes, and a bit mad at myself for being such a brand junky....... Why should I feel "less" to carry a well made bag, in good quality but not an Hermés, Chanel or whatever? Also so sick and tired of the dupe discussion. What's really new under the sun? I would be more upset if they tried to price it the same way as Hermés. I think it's OK to appreciate the style but not wanting to spend the crazy amount of money it actually is. And if you want to try out a style to see if it fits your needs and lifestyle before taking out a mortgage on your home? Wish I weren't such a snob, ridiculous really! Well done Emma
I'm totally buying this bag as a precursor to the Hermes. I'm really trying to figure out the size of the 30 and 35, which translate to 12 and 14 in TB. or Buti now. Also on CND the Buti is 750-850, so STILL a steal on comparison
Oh yes, I would love the opportunity to own a higher end bag!!! Thank you for your review and not making any comments that felt shaming for those that love the silhouettes of Hermes, but definitely cannot affoard it!
I think the Teddy Blake bags are great quality pieces. The price says everything about how over priced Hermes is. It's just a hype. I am a luxury lover myself and have everything but an Hermes bag, but can't bring myself to spend that much on a hand bag. Besides, I find Hermes' customer service horrendous. I refuse to beg for a bag when you are going to put down that much money and maybe even have to settle for a color or a leather version you initially didn't want.
This is THE BEST Teddy Blake review EVER!
Thank you for your honest opinion and super detailed comparison.. it's the best I've seen so far!! I too am a sucker for neatness. You are so much fun to listen to!! 😊😊😚
I totally agree with what you said at the end! A scratched up lock and uneven finishes are unacceptable for $500!

Nicely done! I enjoyed this tremendously - you have hit the delicate balance of comparing the Birkin and Teddy Blake.
Thank you. I spent quite a bit of time working out how to get that balance so its much appreciated xx
Love your video! I always learn so much when I watch you and have a great laugh with your comments😂. Have a fabulous day!
Thank you so much for your thorough and honest review/comparison. I have watch several videos on Teddy Blake bags but never felt comfortable buying one bc I felt that the reviews were bias bc the person recording the review received a free handbag. I am now comfortable buying one bc I feel that your video pointed out the minor details that would mean a lot to a handbag connoisseur such as myself who can’t afford a Birkin. I now know what to expect.
I like how honest you are mentioning each time that they sent it to you so you could do this video :) Unfortunately not all CZcamsrs state things as clearly or as honestly and that is one of the many reasons I really enjoy your videos, plus your sense of humor and willing to laugh at yourself over things just make your videos fun to watch :)
I really appreciate your review! I love how you went in with a very non biased opinion. You reviewed them as two SEPARATE companies that have a (pretty much) identical product. Yes the style is based of off Hermès and you could argue Teddy Blake ripped them off but the general population isn’t too interested in spending $10,000+ on a handbag. Teddy Blake makes a beautiful timeless style available for everyone and I’m great for for that! Thank you so much for not snubbing your nose at teddy Blake like some of these other people! Subscribed!
I really like the Teddy Blake bag. It’s affordable and looks great! At the end of the day handbags are just handbags. It truly doesn’t matter if it looks like a designer bag. There is a lot more important things in this world to worry about. Don’t believe me, I’ll let you follow me around the hospital 😉
Too true! xxx
Emma Anders Great video! I really enjoyed your comparison! You gained a new subscriber due to this video. I hate that some were getting upset with the fact it’s very similar to the Birkin. If you ever decide to give up the Teddy Blake I would gladly take it off your hands😁😁
Thank you for doing this video. I like how you compared it with a Birkin and show all the detail. Great video!
"quite a few miles on it..hmm" hahahah you're too funny!
I'd definitely be interested in the bag!!
I was looking for someone to see the reviews for teddy blake , and i found this video..
Thanks for explaining so nicely and clearly..
I do not own a Birkin but I knew right away that the black one was the real deal! I love that you gave us this review and comparison video. I love Teddy Blake handbags, for those us who can not afford a real Hermès Birkin it gives us the chance to experience a luxury handbag with out having to pay the Birkin Tag 🖤🤩🙌🏽
It is amazing how similar they are! I would love to have the Teddy Blake- I promise I will give her a good home:)
So happy to see your subscribers list increase. Glad to be able to say I was one of the originals because I can only see major growth on the subs horizon. Your natural, honest, funny personality shows through in your videos. Absolutely Love them!. Thanks 😘
thank you so much- sorry this reply is so late! xx
By far the best Teddy Blake video I’ve seen. Thanks Emma.
I absolutely loved your video! I appreciated your honesty and your detailed descriptions. I’ve never carried a fake handbag and the only reason I’ve considered the TB is because it’s inspired and they aren’t stamping it with a Hermès logo or trying to pass it off as such. Based on your review I’ve decided to dive in and order one. Thank you.
Emma I adore u & your videos. Your presentation of both bags was awesome. I’m shocked at the pettiness of so many people. Just look at the big name designers Prada, Gucci, Michael kors etc. they all get ideas from each other but these people don’t put them down like this. I m glad I don’t know any of these people. It seems downright mean to me to be so judgmental. My only concern is what color should I pick. I love the orange but I know the black is much more sensible. I watched your car video & loved it. My husband is “building” our new Mercedes now. He’s the car person in this family. I laughed so much when above all else u love your heated steering wheel. I totally get that!❤️❤️❤️
The car search cracked me up! Your sense of humour is stellar!
Been obsessed with Teddy Blake’s current collection and I had no idea they used to make this exact replica style. I wonder why they stopped making these.
I heard the teddy Blake bags are made in Italy by Buti company. Buti is in business since 1958, and also in a video I heard that the Hermès birkin was made by them first , before them.
If Hermès made the Birkin a little more accessible in availability and price...it might not be such a duped bag! And it’s not a replica without them stamping the logo on there....it’s just inspired. Every designer everywhere is inspired by something...if you have ever worn clothes....then you’re prolly wearing a replica of some high fashion design...
When you're inspired by a design it shouldn't be "fooling" these people in the comment section thinking that the TB was the Birkin. Being inspired is to take something and change it up so it makes it your own, not copying it exactly alike. And yes, fast fashion such as Zara and H&M has taken "inspirations" from luxury brands but at least they change it up enough where it's not a replica and also have the money to pay off the legal fees.
I agree, but diagree that my clothes are inspired by high end fashion. How do u know high end came out with clothing designs first? Might be a normal clothes manufacture an high end saw an put their own spin on it. We people have the mentality that high end came with something first, which is not always true, its just marketed an so lusted over our minds are brainwashed lol.
Interesting and informative comparison, Emma! Thanks for doing this 👍😊
xoxo M.
Thank you so much for the comparison I really enjoy the breakdown!!! I was considering the Teddy Blake but thought it was just me that the quality was still not up to par either. Love your honestly and humor as always xoxoxo
Love listening to you talking about handbags, it is obvious that you enjoy researching all the features. This comparison was excellent. Enjoy your Birkin, it is lovely but I would love to have the Teddy Blake as it is beautiful also.
You’ve really educated me on Birkin, and now Teddy Blake. (Which I probably spelled wrong!)
Thank you so much. I really enjoy your videos. So informative. Thanks for the time and hard work you put in. ♥️Melanie
The variety of textures in the *yutulu* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Best review I’ve seen! Perfect dahling!
What a great comparison! Love your review.. subscribed!
What a great video and review! I’m very curious to know the ware and tear on the Teddy Blake over time? Does it hold up? Thanks for sharing.
I like the Teddy Blake a lot more than the Birkin.
I feel the same way.
Made in Italy the best

This review is perfect! I really wanted to see this compared with the real thing. You're awesome, thank you!
Great comparison, thank you!
I realize this is a 2 year old review, but sending thanks! 🙂 although maybe a bit late. I’ve been looking for an honest and comprehensive comparison between the two bags and you provided just that. Plus, your accent is lovely. 😁
I actually love the dupe almost as much as the Hermes, fab video as always xx
Appreciate your honesty about TB. It's nice to know that you like the quality as well!
Thank you for this video! I’ve been seeing Teddy Blake ads on FB but was worried I’d be disappointed. Now I will get one!
I couldn't find this bag on their website and I'm about to cry. also, thank you so much this video was very helpful
Hi Emma, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have this bag. Loved your vlog. Thumbs up!!!
I like you clearly indicate and mention the brand of those dupe bags 😍
Love your videos. And yes I would be interested in the bag!
Thank you for the wonderful review.
I would love to have the Teddy Blake bag, since I don’t anticipate having an Hermes bag.
Thanks for your honesty. I'm a detail junkie too.
Thanks for the fair and honest review.
I'm not a handbag person and I really thought the Teddy Blake one was Hermes 😆
Of course the Hermes one would be more opaque 🤦🏽♀️
Great comparison video and I like that your not biass when talking about the two. Do a giveaway....it would be fun!
Such a fab video! I really enjoyed it!! I'd love to see your new car! X
Personally I'd love it! No way I could ever afford a Birkin but always liked the style. Giveaway all the way. 😀
Damn, they don't make that one any more at Teddy Blake and after watching your amazing review, I'm wishing so much I could get one! I know you said you might gift it or give to someone in your family, but if by some wild chance all these years later, you still have it, I'd be so happy to purchase it from you!!! Love your channel by the way :)
did you show a grey bag when you had your jacket on? is the Katie the largest size?
Do they make this bag anymore?
is there a difference in the leather quality ?
Ooh yes that bag would be very welcome in my home. However I also think your sister in law would be very appreciative of it as well. Great video as always. X
Thanks for this review
I just had the opportunity to purchase a teddy Blake and your review helped me decide
I will say that my edges were very clean and precise but of course nothing compared to an actual Birkin.
Cars and giveaways, can’t get any better! ❤️ You will love your heated steering wheel on cold mornings.
I prefer the look of the Teddy Blake. The leather is gorgeous. Nobody really sees the small details of the hardware they notice the leather first. Great review!!!
I would love the bag! 😊❤️
Thank you so so much for your in-depth comparison! Most of the youtubers I’ve watched teddy Blake videos from weren’t even close to being as knowledgeable as you ;)
Oh, and I’d looooove you to do a giveaway on it
IDK whenever I get a craving to check out a Birkin bag and then I realize it is the cost of my grad school and that always makes me rethink that option.
Hey Emma, Great review nicely done!!😘
The Teddy Blake bag is really nice! Thanks
Another great vid, enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this bag, it would be interesting to compare its quality
You sold me on the teddy Blake again. Fabulous review and color
Emma you are so good at explaining in this video, a new subscriber from me! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments! 😘x
Thanks for the honest comparison. I fall into the category of can't afford a Birkin but I would love the Teddy Blake. Now going onto the Teddy Blake website.
Such a good review Emma and the best I’ve seen. Being in Sydney I’m not sure if that qualifies me for the giveaway but either way I’m sure whoever gets it will enjoy it for what it is, a decently-sized leather bag, with a shoulder strap! Mimi, xxx
How does the quality of the leather compare? I did watch the whole video but didn't catch that. Is it similar to Togo or in no way comparable?
The quality is not up to the Birkin or a luxury piece but it is better than high street x
This is interesting..and is there significant weight difference between the two?
They're very similar xx
I love this bag. I will never be able to afford a Birkin but I always look. I went to the website and checked out their bags and they are very nice. I wish I was given one like you were, you lucky lady.
if you are a bag lover, never say never!
Thank u for this lovely video.
i would love this beautiful Teddy Blake bag. i could not afford a Birken, i do love Italian leather so i would love it, thanks for the great video❤️
Love your videos. I have a Caty 10 and waiting on the Eva 11 from Teddy Blake. I am loving their bags. Please do a car video. I would love to see it. Thanks!!
I hope I can get or buy one
Hi Emma could you do a similar comparison review with the Cordae brand bags?
Could you do an update on this bag?
Great video - very interesting and informative. A giveaway would be great!
Thanks for the review. A giveaway would be nice! I'd like to be considered for that. Thanks for the details and your Birkin is beautiful
thank you for explaining to us the difference between the two bags. for me they both look the same.
Has this bag been discontinued now?
Very nice review. I love handbags but I’m yet to become so emotionally attached to Hermes to freak out or get mad over a dupe. Especially that Teddy Blake has decent price and quality. And I would never shell out the price of a Birkin or any other Hermes bag even if I win the lottery and become a billionaire
Wow! I'm surprised how similar they are. I am definitely interested if you decide to give away the Caty! 😍
I like that they added the shoulder strap. That makes it SO much more functional. Although I feel like it's a bit small for the size of the bag.. OMG I have been a bag lady too! 😅 I often lie and say I just have "important medication" that I cannot leave unattended...which is effective, although they probably think I'm crazy haha
I would love to have that bag!!!😍😍
I appreciate your honest review! I'd love to know what you think of the quality of the leather itself? Also, is it a heavy bag to carry? If you do a giveaway I'd love to be considered. :)
It is a thick leather. It doesn't have the delicacy or form of a luxury item but is better than most high street. Its not particularly heavy especially with the shoulder strap. I will close the giveaway later this week x
Emma Anders thank you for the information! 💕 i’ve made the mistake in the past of not considering weight when looking at bags and i’ve definitely learned my lesson! 😋
What is the name of this bag??
Great video! Thank you! Do they still have them on the Teddy Blake website? I can’t find them, please help. ❤️😊💕💋
Thanks so much for this review. I just bought the Teddy Blake Eva 11" bag and love it, although like the Caty, I feel the strap leather could be better - thicker, for the cost of the bag. One thing I think a lot of critics of Teddy Blake don't seem to know is that Gucci used to make a bag that looked like the Birkin. I found this out while researching vintage Gucci bags. And sometimes you will come across one of the Gucci bags while looking for a vintage Birkin to buy.
ooooh... interesting... xx
Omg the teddy Blake 😍😍 I would love this! As I say on instagram I live vicariously through you but I'd love to experience it myself :) thanks for the chance

Great review
I had thought the black one is Teddy Blake and the grey is your Birkin. lol! Great video 😊
I bought a teddy Blake about a year ago to see if the Birkin will be for me. I’m aiming to purchase a Birkin when I get my doctoral degree in two years. I know a lot of people on CZcams have said they found out the Birkin wasn’t for them because of the weight and the way you carry it. I felt if I am comfortable with carrying the teddy Blake then I’ll be fine with the Birkin.
Hi Emma - love your videos! Wondering if you still have the Teddy Blake bag and if you'd sell it? I"m looking to buy that very one :) Thanks, Jen
