I've used the company before, as they used to do cute (and affordable) cashmere baby clothing which made great gifts, but I won't be shopping there again

Good think I just searched this thread because I was about to post the same thing - I'm on their email list and am shocked at the similarities. I had ordered from them before but I also will be removing myself from their list. Bleh

For you sleuths out there...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-Hermes...item3356524258

This link takes you to an auction for a birkin. Look closely at the (enlarged) simgle image--you will see a fuzzy area where a watermark was likely removed.

The seller refuses to accept responsibility for authenticity issues (duh!!). My question--does anyone recognize the image? Only the original owner of the image can report to eBay...

This looks pretty similar to me; but I am posting it here rather than writing Lucy b/c I'd like to see what you think first. Your eyes are SO much better than mine (if anyone is reading through quickly I want to make clear that this bag is NOT a fake):

Perigord · Oct 10th, 2009, 08:21 PM

Yup. The first seller is using an image from lucy's auction, with the watermark erased. Sent a note to Lucy... THANKS--great eyes!

lilybp · Oct 11th, 2009, 05:28 AM

Great! It's an honor to be of help. You (and the other authenticators) do such an amazing job~

mistikat · Oct 22nd, 2009, 08:47 AM

^^Totally. But the seller isn't saying Hermes anywhere so Ebay will let it stand.

In my worst nightmare, we may end up buying from Hermes a good fake bag that has been swop for the real thing by a dishonest member of the staff?

---- oh my god. dear, that has happened at louis vuitton shop in asia!!! i wouldnt say which country but rumor has it that the socialite who was able to identify that the bag she bought was a fake was supposed to sue LV but then was given an out of court settlement.
