I was *very* curious myself, HC, so I found the links last night and was going to make a chart (way TOO interested!) but haven't had time, so here are the links.

(I believe) this link shows the last three numbers of the auctioned item, for example, the A BLEU SAPHIR CROCODILE MINI KELLY BAG HERMÈS, 2001 is lot 0259:

http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/...ot+#&entry=HERMES&searchbtn.x=0&searchbtn.y=0

so I think this second link shows the BRITISH STERLING amount of the item sold (with the zero dropped on the item number), so #259 is 0259. It shows that bag sold for £7,500. :wtf: (these prices include fees, etc)

http://www.christies.com/auction/results/results_lotlist.asp?saleno=CKS7525&page=3

And darn - the pics are gone. They were there last night.

The braise 35 went for £19,700
The rouge h 35 went for £31,700

The Hermes collector's items were #253-325.

I may be wrong in how I'm reading this link....I'm just guessing cuz I want to know the answers!! Please chime in if I've got this wrong - thanks.

katel, i was on live and the prices i wrote down were the hammer prices as stated by the auctioneer -- so the figures will be lower because they don't include the 25% premium (i gave up on unnecessary math the moment my high school diploma was in my hot little hands).

London is totally awash with
The filthy rich right now, its a tax haven for russian billionaires
Very rich arabs etc etc some are my customers

And nothing would stop them bidding if they wanted something, this amount is pocket change to so many of them.

Good for the lady who sold the items though, and proof that Hermes is a good investment for all of us with whatever budget

( Well thats my excuse to go order my Croc Kelly he he he :graucho::graucho: poor Miss Bubbly has to be replaced )

Hi
Saw a snippet in the Daily telegraph today, cant find it online so will retype..

Handbag chic comes at £31,000
A red crocodile skin handbag fetched a record £31,200 - three times the asking price-in a sale of the contents od the homes of an international art entrepreneur at Christies in London yesterday.

The 14 in classic Hermes Kelly bag with gilt fittings, a symbol of international chic, made almost three times the 10000-12,000 estimate. Its owner was Louise Macbain who was disposing of the contents of her recently sold £16m 10 bedroom house in Holland Park, west London and her ski chalet in St Moritz.
Mrs Macbain is a 40 something Canadian divorcee who numbers Prince Andrew, Bill ******* and Henry Kissinger among her friends.

GILT fittings!!!!!!???
