"S" stamp and employee sale bags

Yes, seller did not confirm with me on this. But she did post the stamping in the pics which I failed to notice. I just knew it is a staff bag when my collector friend pointed out so I confronted the seller. We just had an agreement, for me to return the bag and she would issue refund to me. To be fair, she did incur the shipping fee and wire transfer fee so we had reached an agreement that she would retain smaller amount than before just to cover on this costs.
 
I personally feel she should have written the S stamp information in the copy.

Regardless, Hermes will accept the bag for spa treatment. A few S employee stamp bags have been in my possession and I was told definitively that they would indeed work on them.

I was also told that if the bag ever needed a major repair and was sent back to Paris that the employee would be contacted because these bags technically are never supposed to be resold.

Everything said here corresponds to my understanding. :yes:
 
Hi Lovelies,

I have come across a brand new Kelly that was a staff purchase probably because it had a major defect - a discolored area on the side of the bag.

It's stamped s followed by some numbers which I presume would be the employee number and also has a HD stamp under the flap.

Could you let me know your personal opinions of the pros and cons of buying this bag?

Really appreciate it, thanks. :)
 
I just got this Epsom MiniKelly Pochette from the Hermes store and saw the S stamp and found this thread. Can someone help me confirm if this is normal? Thanks!

I am now curious ladies about these S- _00000_____stamped employee sold bags ...
Are they good to be sent out for spa or be resold or are these still declined , frowned upon or refused altogether ?
I have seen one or 2 being offered by resellers and I'm not sure if this is acceptable practice?
Thoughts?
Any owners of these used to be employee owned bags or buyers of these bags that have first hand experiences to share with us?.
 
I dont doubt your SA at all, LOL! Things change all the time at H. What happened before may not be the same today, and vice versa.



Today, anyway, the employee sale stamps look like this one on a recent Kelly. So if ever you see this kind of stamp, you will know.
