Replica/imitations fashion items had been around the market for countless decades. And these replica manufacturers aren't even afraid of being caught. The printed bag stitching was definitely terrible. Would be super disappointed if it's authentic because Kipling bags are not cheap, even if Kipling outsource to china, don't make your bags look cheap. Kipling should keep up to their standard(quality & workmanship). If the workmanship was poor, consumers will not come back for more items. Actually thought of getting a pouch, saw the picture from their official online store, was shocked that the stitching inside the bag was terrible and it really looks exactly like your printed bag. Need to go to their retail shop to get a closer look. Anyway thank you for your video.

I have a Twsbi vac mini with the 1.1 nib which I just cannot get to flow consistently. I think maybe I got lucky with the Lamy and unlucky with the Twsbi? I would recommend exchanging the Lamy nib and see if you have the same experience. I really enjoy my one. I will say though that the Lamy nib has much sharper corners then my Twsbi.

i'd been scammed once on IG for some clothing. Many of these factories steal designs from boutique brands and steal their pictures, usually you can tell when the model's head is cutoff from the product image. They send you a really cheap knock off and the only way you can get your money back is through paypal dispute. For Kanken, the way i can tell at first glance is the logo, the eye of the fox is sharp, the one circle on top of the A in "Kanken" should be touching, and the back of the buttons have 2 concentric circles - on the fake ones, the circle of the A is detached and the eyes of the fox is rounded and the back of the buttons are not similar at all. The material tag inside should also be silky and seams are always sewn if its authentic. Ive seen authentic Kankens without the swedish flag too btw, so I dont usually go with that.
