Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

Kellybag, see if your dh will take the family to Europe for a trip and you can come home with a Birkin...

Mine has suggessted this. I would actually love to get a Kelly in France or Italy - it would be such a special bag and cost less with the VAT refund.

Thanks a lot BBA for your help.

Do you know how much is an ostrich 30 cm with palladium at where you are? Just checking the price difference, especially since I'm out of the E.U and the VAT refund will be useful.

30 cm ostrich is 8000 Euro.

Thanks BBA! That's a very good price.

I'm waiting to see the violine ostrich here but so far it hasn't arrived yet. If I end up not liking the color, maybe your store might have another ostrich in 30cm and I would love to have one.

I have personally ordered a new ostrich color called SABLE NATUREL which is amazing. Totally chic. And a three-colored combo.

Hi BBA - This thread is soooo informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Do you know if the Hermes stores will authenticate bags?

[La Vanguardia]

I'm really loving the ostrich. I've heard that it is also very durable.

From the color-ostrich catalog I saw my favorites were: Blue jean, orange and rouge VIF.

Not anymore! But if you really need to verify authenticity you can always bring it for refurbishing or ask them to change the hardware. If the bag is fake they will not accept it.

^That's good to know. Thank you!

Is it easy to find ostrich ones at where you are or do you need to order?

I am not a big ostrich fan so I am not quite sure. I know that sometimes they have some available but mostly in basic colors. However last year I ordered a 30 cm Birkin in fuchsia and it arrived within a week. I think ostrich will not be a tough mission to get. I am more into crinolin at the moment.

La VAn, I saw an orange ostrich agenda and mini Trim yesterday at Hermes and the color was divine. Ostrich is wonderful with both fuchsia and orange - so rich!
That is going to be one incredible bag and worth the wait.

It looks like there will be a lot of new red and blue colors coming for Fall at Hermes. They promised to bring back that BLUE SAPHIRE color which was exquisite.

BBA, What leather did you order it in?
My favorite of all the Hermes Leathers is Chevre de Coromandel. In the States we see far more bags in Togo and Clemence (Taurillon) but I'm dreaming of Chevre.
