Item: Hermes Birkin 35 Indigo Fjord Gold Hardware
Listing number: 220563784657
Seller: honeybunny78

Comments: I know there might not be enough detailed photos in the link but I have e-mailed the seller and requested additional pics per post #1. I have yet to receive maybe due to time difference. I thought I would post the listing anyway and will update later if I do receive the additional pics. Thank you for any input.

Yes, get the additional photos (I would want to see those corners up close, honestly) but if I had to make an assessment, based on what I am seeing so far, this bag is authentic. Also, some of the photos are old (2008) including the corner ones, another reason to take a look at them now. I would also ask if those corners have been treated.
 
OK. The last post about online seller couturebykate (bonanzle, ecrater, and more).

Admitting that a bag was fake, this is what she wrote next in one of her listings:


Don't be fooled by lesser quality handbags out there- these are as real as they get! I am a memeber of the Purse Forum, and the "experts" on that site aren't able to tell that these bags aren't the real deal!!!


Our work is never done.....

what bawlz ~ in response to her earlier authentication request we declined to comment beyond saying that she needed better photos than the poorly-lit and unfocused ones she had posted.

though i suppose i shouldn't be surprised given that she has the cojones to be selling fakes.

I definitely think the corners have been recolored. Pepper excellent point about the pix. They could be from a prior auction where this seller bought the bag. Need to see something current.

Comment: Haven't seen this before. Since it is Ardennes, it's probably pretty old, right? Is it authentic? Have any of you had experience with this seller? Thank you.

The Seller says that she bought this bag from an Hermes store last year. I know ardennes has been discontinued in Kellys/Birkins for many years, but is it possible they still uses ardennes for smaller bags? Thanks in advance for any help.

I think the bag is authentic.

It could have slept in the store for a few years....

It would be interesting to have a picture of blindstamp or of the label you see partially on the fifth picture.
 
I wish someone can help me to authentic this lovely CDC fuchsia 30 B, as this is a private seller, so I can attached some photos here. Seller mentioned that she ordered it paris last yr., and with a blindstamp M. Thanks in advance!!http://hk.image.auctions.yahoo.com/...cky-img600x450-1267159116604174____4117-5.jpg

sorry I m trying to resize some other pics, will get more after

Please go to page one, read the instructions, then repost according to the requested format. I fear that your authentication request may be overlooked if you don't follow our VOLUNTEERS' instructions.

Good luck.
