First copy or also known as mirror quality, are items that the average person would consider owning, as they really look very similar to the original and if you own a first copy item, it is hard for anyone to tell. These first copy quality bags are actually made using the leather and metal hardware that are sourced by the same suppliers as the original. It may be hard to believe, but luxury brands often contract their materials and hardware to third party manufacturers who can produce the designs they want.  They do not make their own materials.
