Materials are mostly man made, and a majority are constructed from various types of synthetic leather. Others are made from jacquard fabric, and vinyl.

Controversy

Although the handbags manufactured and sold by XOXO offer fashion handbags at an affordable price, some of their designs resemble the originals too close for some handbags lovers' comfort. The LV monogram multi-color bags, bears resemblance to the XOXO multi-color handbags. The XOXO cherry bags may also set LV lover's teeth on edge, as they also are quite close to the LV cherry pieces. The use of the lock on the XOXO Keepsake satchels and bags is obviously influenced from the infamous Chloe Paddington.

XOXO never pose themselves as the original designers as many replicas do. Instead, they offer fashionable, fun, trendy, and affordable bags that can be distinguished from the original designers, even though the influences can't be hidden. The bags are also like by those who are in favor of using synthetic, rather than animal, materials for fashion purposes.

For lovers of designer bags, the XOXO lines may leave them unsatisfied and perhaps even angry, but for those who want the latest fashion trends without the high prices, XOXO bags may be the perfect answer.

Unlike XOXO handbags, that clearly depict their designs without claiming to be the designers they are inspired by, many handbags label themselves as the genuine designer when they are, in fact, just poorly made fakes.
