I hope this isn't a problem listing this again for authentication. I inquired last night and heard from 2 of our lovely members, but none of our authenticators responded. I wasn't sure if it got lost in the closing of the old thread.


Item: Lindy
Listing #:110338193002
Seller: finerthingsinc
eBay link:
FTI Hermes Lindy Grey Clemence 30 Handbag Kelly Purse
Comments: Not sure if it is my computer, but on my monitor the color appears more Etoupe than Grey.


The posters last night agreed with me that it looked like Etoupe as opposed to Gray and it certainly looks like swift instead of clemence.

If reposting is a no-no, I will gladly take my punishment as long as it is 20 lashes with a Kelly strap! Thank you.

Hi, it's definitely etoupe swift. I am not an expert on Lindys so I'd wait for someone else to chime in the but the details look good to me. Am not familiar with the seller. The photos are excellent--if only all bags came with photos that detailed. No Kelly strap lashes for you I'm afraid!

tnw - I have compared with my own Lindy and there is no flag waving for me here. As others have said it is Etoupe Swift and it certainly has the "fine" look of an Hermes bag.

The pictures are excellent and it doesn't appear as if the seller is trying to hide anything. Hopefully MrsS will chime in here as a fellow Lindy owner but what I am seeing is good.

Thanks Handybags. You know I love your (hubba hubba) Lindy.

tnw, I have Etoupe Swift Lindy in 34cm and these pictures are great, as commented by Pepper. It has every bit an authentic Lindy has. But I still would like to be cautious only because I am also not familiar with this seller. I would like to PM you to ask you to ask the seller for a particular closed up picture inside the bag.

I am not an authenticator, but from what I can tell, all things look positive to me. Fingers crossed. I searched for auction and seller and found no past data. Please wait for additional opinions.

Found this little tidbit in the historical authenticity thread but couldn't find more after the two posts regarding who the seller was, but Hello2703 liked her bag she was selling before, so that's a good sign:

Archive: Authenticate This Hermes

I'm no Evelyne expert so will need input from others. Also, seller says she is on tPF but I don't know her ID. Good luck!!

Quite fake

The reseller also has a 25cm Birkin for sale. I looked at that. Makes me unsure about this seller.
Hello Pepper & MrsSparkles -Welcome back, missed you both.
Thank you very much for evaluating these bags.

Seller said that Picotin was purchased in San Fran, limited addition...

Please authenticate this Evelyne Bag, thank you!!!!

Item: AUTHENTIC Hermes Evelyne bag
Item no:220346147990
Seller: ebarr20 (tpf member)
link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Comments: This maybe a better/bigger bag for a daily use. Although, I'm still on the hunt for a birkin. (belated x-mas present from my DH)

Looks good. Note that the shoulder strap + clochette + lock + keys are not the original ones with the Kelly. No alarm bells with this listing but you if want, you may want to request to see the receipt for the purchase of these items from the H store, presumably it wasn't too long ago.
