It's not like Hermes bags are original, they're just exclusive. That suitcase/briefcase/noteholder style is classic.

Or if you could just describe them, that would be wonderful as well! Much appreciated! jenn

Hi, Jenn! The lock is plain, no markings at all. All hardware is highly polished with no markings. The head of the key is engraved with some vertical lines, but that's it.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, but I haven't figured out how to take good ones yet! If anything looks scratched it's just blurry; I thought I'd shined everything up nicely, but I missed a few spots.

The first one is to show the size of the lock, and the other three are very bad closeups.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOXMONKEY!

How sweet of you to post pics! I really appreciate it. I have been emailing Angelo, and you guys were right, this company has outstanding customer service. He always answers all of my questions and is very sincere and helpful. I'm pretty impressed. I think I'll order this weekend. So you think silver hardware would look the best with a black one? That's what I'm thinking right now... :)

Thanks again for your help!
Jenn

Not a problem! I'm sorry the pictures are so blurry. One of these days I'll figure out how to take closeup shots.

I think ETenebris got silver hardware on her bag and it's just beautiful! I'm planning to get gold hardware on mine, because I prefer gold with black.

Glad I could help.

oo these look like nice bags! Does anyone know how to convert it to US money though? I'm thinking of ordering from there since it'll prob be quite awhile before I have a trip to italy.

I know a lot of people who went to Italy that say they make great quality leather products. Isn't hermes made in Italy anyway (no tomatoes if I'm wrong lol but I don't really have any desire to spend more than 1,500 on a bag. that's my cut off). There are places that can custom make things for you as well for a lot cheaper then a hermes and I heard the quality is awesome for the price as good as any 1,000 bag.

Just click on a bag, and then where it has the price, it has the option to View in $. Just click on the $, and it will show you prices in USD. Let us know what you get!

Can you inform us now, 2 years later, how the bag is doing?
Does it stand test of the time?

I purchased a bag from Pierotucci about six months ago - the Kellyesque one and it has held up really well. The hardware is in good shape and the leather is gorgeous. I am contemplating another purchase from them when I am in Florence in March.

^horsetrader...I was in contact with pierotucci this week and they are discontinuing all of their "inspired" styles at the end of this week.

Their embossed leather is wonderful, I have bought a bag from them and quality used to be amazing (about one year ago) - the bag is durable, keeps the form...amazing. I would say - IMHO much better quality than some of the big brands I have in my closet...

rainrowan · Nov 6th, 2009, 09:15 AM

Pierotucci has an annual sale between now and the new year, I think its worth looking at if you like good craftsmanship. I may be getting a wallet.

Wow, a zombie thread from the past!

baglover78, that is a really pretty bag. I wonder if that leather is as yummy and soft as it looks?
