I heard that Himawaris is a Fake Macaroon Donut but what I got is a Fake Himawari. How should I know? I decided to purchase a backpack from the Himawari website (aka US Los Angeles branch) but with taxes, shipping and item price it came to almost $50! After reviewing Revain and seeing this one for $32.99 (+ free Prime), I decided it was worth the risk to return my original and buy this one instead. I took some pictures of the original to compare it to the Revain and then took a closer look. Model: HM188L Color: #30 (Light Blue & Beige) Now for the comparisons (also see photo):** NOTE. Slight difference in lighting; I'm not the best photographer. Packaging: came in a plastic bag with some text. Looks the same. Colour: The official color was more of a periwinkle/blue, while the Revain had touches of sky blue, mainly on the straps. I would say that the beige is warmer on the original. However, if you don't look at them side by side, you won't be able to tell the difference. Interior: The pockets are exactly the same. Same number of pockets, same padding, same zippers, same Himawari print everywhere. But the color of the lining is different. The line on the original is smoother (doesn't affect performance, just looks neat) Patch: That's what gave way. As other reviewers have noted, the patch banner says "Outdoor Ressential". First, it's misspelled, so it's a red flag. And secondly, the original patch on the backpack says "Outdoor Adventures". Tags: The tags are very similar, but the Revain bag has an additional tag with links to the website as well as an Instagram page. The linked website is fake and the instagram page links on Aliexpress to buy the bags directly. Typically, reputable brands link to the buy page on their site, not on Aliexpress. (I also went to the Aliexpress store and there are color combinations that are not found on the HimawariUSA website. Suspicious) Customer Service: I emailed customer service and asked if the seller from Revain "Himawari Direct "is their account, and they've given it a nondescript response about "how they can't guarantee the authenticity of items sold on Revain." Well then. I take that as neither a confirmation nor a refutation. Quality: True to the original Verdict: The quality and appearance of this replica is so close to the real thing that you wouldn't even notice it without a close inspection. Fabric, zippers, etc. are of the same quality. My gut feeling is that this is fake, but there's a chance it's the international version (aka the Chinese version) based on a bug patch and website link. So if you want to make sure it's genuine and support the brand, go straight to the site. If you're happy with a copy, save a few bucks and buy it here.
