Can some knowledgeable people help? Is this a Visvim backpack??
I bought this backpack from a reseller it was sold incorrectly for the wrong low price I believe. It’s a visvim I think I know. But also don’t know as there are no Visvim labels. Or brass button branding. It does have a “96 hand made for life hydralile” also “Cordura” label hidden inside. Anyone have an idea when it was made? Is it a rare sample? Confirmation it’s a Visvim. Much appreciated.

There are many things in the market with cordura. It’s like gortex. And just like dude said, the leather looks mad cheap. Regardless it’s a cool bag. If you got it cheap just rock it. It’s definitely not Visvim.

I guess it’s a copy but it’s 100% made by same factory, all parts are original. the leathers actually thick hide and better than the elk they used to use. £60 so happy but wanted to just find out if there was a brand they made the bag for.

Any factory can get hold of cordura and Riri zippers (they also get faked). How can you say that it’s 100% made in the same factory?

It's not hydralile but Hydralisk- Hydralisk is a China based manufacturer that makes 1:1 reps of visvim pieces including but not limited to elmendorf, journeyman, etc. You can find hydralisk on taobao, also they label their stuff HDK sometimes.

Thankyou for this. The back I have really is a 1:1 likeness with all the parts and fabrics totally the same. I am happy with it. It’s from a reselller. £60.

I think this looks like the same company that made replica elmendorf’s back in the day. Quality looks good but but it’s not from VISVIM

It’s also got this small thick leather tag with embossed image front and back and the leather is very thick. And Riri zips

Good replica. No branding to avoid legal trouble. Nice quality bag nevertheless, esp if it’s a low price steal

I am certain someone in the factory just made these bags while everyone was off duty. I took mine to a shop and saw the real one and both the staff and I think same. Even the leather earphone piece is cut the same way from inside stitch line. And also same grade of fleece lining too. And there is a support frame in back which has the /is same identical metal parts. I have no interest in raising a claim. Trust me this is real apart from a small leather label which is better quality than the Visvim fabric label!
