I agree with the colors, I love rouge vif with gold!,

maybe it's worth the wait? the rouge grance is very nice too.

Thanks for compiling this list Japster! It is extremely helpful. OMG, the Rouge VIF Chevre is TDF...but the price! Did they happen to mention whether or not it was new or used---for the price, it better be new! Rouge Garance is beautiful---I am still mulling whether or not to change my request from the Vermillion Chevre to the RG in VL.

Orchids, It is brand new.

Here are some of the gorgeous bags from Decades....

Hermes Bone Ostrich 28cm 'Kelly' with gold hardware. This bag is dated in the 80s and is great condition. An unusual color that has been discontinued, the skin is worth the wait alone.

This Pochette Jige is electric blue and one of my personal favorites from the Hermes bag collections. It’s simple and understated, even with the large H, somehow being Hermes it works.

This 1950s Hermes Havana colored luncheon purse is quite stunning. The crocodile skin is in extremely good condition

Electric Blue, 1996, 35cm Birkin

Someone that I know from another board told me about Didier Ludot as well. Apparently HK celebrity Maggie Cheung has bought quite a few pre-owned Birkins from them!

I haven't personally purchased from Jemznjewels, but I know that there have been some issues by others on the forum concerning their representations:

MJ Scarlet blue bag -- where to find this??

Just thought I'd give you all a head's up.

Oh, Good to know, ...I guess just because something is authentic... does not automatically mean it's in good condition!

wickedassin · Aug 24th, 2006, 01:53 AM

^^I don't question the authenticity of the goods that are sold, especially since I have not purchased from them. But I've read and heard a number of negative reviews on the representations concerning the bags' conditions...

I totally second Avandome.

Recently, a member PMed me to share her experience - She bought a pre-owned Birkin a few years ago from a eBay Powerseller with 100% feedback. Although the bag was authentic, it was in very poor condition! Totally not as described in the listing!

IMO, when buying Birkins from resellers, it's important to buy from someone who's reputable, honest & trustworthy. Need to do a lot of homework & research before taking the plunge..Need to come to this Forum..

I agree, esp. with the "HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY" part...
it seems that condition of the bag is in the "eye of the beholder"!
what we may think is pristine may not be so with someone else!

I have to say, I've purched twice from her, prada and hermes, and both were perfect experiences and 100% accurate description--I think it's a good idea to mention any problems with resellers in our new thread but I'd hate to throw the baby away with the bathwater, as they say, by giving someone a negative review when there have also been positive transactions

jag · Aug 24th, 2006, 10:04 PM

That is a good point lulu! I guess taht is why threads like this are so helpful- we get to hear the good with the bad, and then make an informed decision based upon what we have read.

koukanamiya · Aug 24th, 2006, 10:05 PM

I'm thinking that some members may hesitate to come forward with any bad reviews for fear of retaliation.
