7 Signs to Recognize if the Mayfair you're about to buy is Original or a Fake, #4 will make you delete your cart

In recent months, dozens of websites have popped up selling the same leather/raffia bag at half the price of the original. But there's something you don't know...

Note: read this before buying another bag that will end up forgotten in your closet after a few weeks.

1. The price doesn't add up.

Just the calf leather for a real Mayfair costs around €84. The Viennese raffia, €70 per meter, plus accessories, interior, labor, fixed costs, marketing costs, and 60% taxes in Italy. 

 

If someone sells you the entire bag for €98… what did they make it with? The numbers, simply put, don't add up.

 

👉 Buy the Mayfair Raffia now for €145 instead of €290 

2. Identical bags on multiple sites

If the exact same bag appears on multiple websites at different prices, stop. Most likely, they stole the photos from the original to seem credible. 

 

But what arrives at your home is something else entirely: different materials, different finishing, a bag that in person has nothing to do with the one from Voemièn.

3. The founder who doesn't exist

Who is behind the website? If you only find "our artisans" in the plural, without a name, a face, a person with a first and last name... ask yourself why they are hiding. 

 

True brands have a face and stand by their work, just like Cristian.

4. EUIPO registration (check it in 30 seconds)

This is the definitive proof. The design of the Mayfair is registered in the European public register EUIPO since 2024 in the name of Cristian Ibba, founder of Voemièn

 

It can be verified by anyone. Anyone selling the same bag without being the owner... is selling a counterfeit.

5. The Invisible Laboratory

Do they show you the workshop where the bag is born, with real people working? 

 

Or just perfect little photos that could be anywhere?

 

Those who truly produce, show it with their name and surname, just like Voemièn. Those who import and resell have nothing to show.

6. The rustling raffia

The real raffia, the one from Vienna, is hand-woven at €70 per meter, it's soft, it doesn't fray. 

 

The copy is plastic that comes from China at €8 per meter: you bend it and it creaks, you smell it and it smells of chemicals, if by misfortune you brush it with a key, you throw it in the bin.

 

At the first touch, you can feel the difference.

7. Reviews that are too perfect

A thousand identical 5-star reviews?

 

Remember: on these platforms, the company chooses who to invite to review, and "verified" only means you bought it, not that the product is good.

 

Beware of overly uniform perfection.

So what does the REAL one look like?

Now that you know what to avoid, here's what you're choosing when you choose the original Voemièn:

 

- Viennese raffia, hand-woven one braid at a time, soft, durable, and increasingly beautiful with time. 

- Pebbled calfskin, only the finest part, processed in one of the best Italian tanneries. 

- True Italian craftsmanship, made by expert hands in our workshop, not mass-produced on the other side of the world.

 

It's not "a raffia bag." It's THE raffia bag, the one everyone else tries to copy. And you can feel it, from the moment you pick it up.
