My mom is going to HK (where she is from). My BIL asked her to "get a Birkin" for my sister when she is there (from H store, not second hand). I told here that I thought that there wouldn't be any Birkins available for walk-in sale, though there might be some Kellys. Also, he told her that they would be $3-4K, which I think is way too low! I don't own any H bags (yet!!!!) so I thought I would ask you experts!
Thanks!

I went into one of the shops the other day with a Birkin that I bought in Paris. they really looked me up and down then walked past me a couple times to see if my Birkin was real. Then they approached me. I tried some Bolides but they didn't have anything I liked so I asked about Kellys. The saleswoman said no at first but then she showed me one Kelly I've never seen before - apparantly it's a new style. It's a lot more casual - half box leather, half cloth with two outside pockets (or maybe it was three). It was more than HK$60,000 - so about US$7,700. She also said there was another Kelly in a pale leather - can't remember what - but I didn't bother to look at it.
The good thing about HK is there's no sales tax. I didn't bother to ask about Birkins because I heard they go only to their VIP customers.

Hi aprilmei,
the Kelly that you saw was Kelly Lakis, a toile leather combo with 4 zipped pockets exterior, also comes with a shorter length leather on canvas shoulder strap.
Hi cph706,
think your mum might be able to seek a Kelly for you (either Kelly, Kelly Flat or Kelly Lakis) ranging from 40-57K (HKD), whereas Birkins are a little harder to obtain (still) and ranging from 50-60K (HKD). If I were you, should try Lee Gardens in Causeway Bay.

This information is definitely not correct. This price quotes is like 1/3 of the retail price. Sounds fishy. I don't mean to offend but I am thinking it is Hermes inspired (fake) maybe?
