I don't know about the 30 but the Lizard 25 Birkin was about $10,600 when it was first launched early last year.

Just realized, I wasn't clear about which bag I was referencing.

I am specifically referring to the 25 Ombre Lizard birkin which was launched last year. The price was $10,600 in April 2008.

Found out:

25cm Lizard Birkin: HKD$89,000 = USD$11,470

Plus saw a woman with a plum colored ostrich kelly as well as a woman in a hideous fur lined coat but with a shiny 30cm brown crocodile birkin. I also went to see the Diamond Birkin. The experience was mind-boggling . To be able to touch the Crocodile as well as touching the 15 carat encrusted lock and hardware.

That is nearly 1k more than the same bag in the US! H has not increased the price on the lizard Birkins in the US since Spring of last year - they are still $10,600.00

Heading off to Geneva and London. Anyone have store preferences? Anyone know if there are any good resellers or consignment stores?

Good luck hermesbirkins! I've picked up a Birkin from Geneva Hermes store a few years ago so try your luck there! They might not have it on shelf but you'll have to ask an SA and they might "check for you at the back".

Does anyone know what types of kelly mufflers there are and how much they cost? Some pics of them would be nice. Are they special order as well? Also, how much do kelly pochettes cost in both leather and crocodile?
