10/31/09 ARCHIVE: Authenticate This Hermes Bag

[perlerare]

Poor fake

can anyone please tell me whether this bag is authentic? I apologize for the large size of the pictures, but these were the only ones the seller sent to me.

Thanks in advance to all of the purse forum members on this thread who are so generous with their time! :d

item: Hermes birkin (white w/ gold hardware)
listing number: None
seller: Private seller
link: None

Those Luxwear bags look fine. One has veining, one does not. The first bag, ending in 938 looks to have some kind of indentation on the back, so I would ask about that.

Also, the same close up HW picture is in both auctions...

so you might want to ask for a picture of the HW for the bag you actually choose.

Hope I did this the right way! On Ebay,


Item: Black Clemence 35 Birkin

Seller: Luxwear

Comments: Seller said the bag is new. I know this is a seller on our list
but thought it best to have it authenticated.

Here is the other one:

Poor fake

Perlerare, thank you so much! I'm new to Hermes, so I had no idea what to look for and if it wasn't for you, I'd be scammed out of my hard-earned money by this seller claiming this Hermes bag is authentic.

Really, really appreciate it!!!

Authentic

You just have to decide if you want clemence or togo

Orchid, This one had may red flags. Sorry it is a fake.

I think you can see from the other posts, that these girls did not regret their decision for a moment. That counts for quite a bit when purchasing a first bag. But...still...you have to want it.

Gracekelly: Your advice is so true. Ultimately, I'm the one that has to carry the bag so I've to be comfortable with my decision. I'll get a better idea when I see the bags 'live' when the Seattle H store opens. The pictures sometimes don't do all the justice.

Thank you so much CobaltBlu and GraceKelly, your opinions are invaluable
to us all. I will ask her for a pic of the hardware and also about the indentation.

jjanais, not ignoring you. I don't own a Lindy so I don't like to opine about them.

Hi Gracekelly,

Is ok i understand.
I am very happy already that i know that you have read my post and given me an answer.

 

[CobaltBlu]

The indentation is probably accentuated by the photo, I would imagine. But best to ask, this is a lot of $$.

Jeroboam, Methuselah or Nebuchadnezzar?

Orchid, This one had may red flags. Sorry it is a fake.

Gracekelly, thanks for offering your opinion also! The seller even offered to go with me to the Hermes store with the bag to compare, so I didn't know what to believe. I'll definitely have to be more careful.

Very grateful to all you lovely ladies on this forum!
