^Ah, I thought you'd bought Hermes from her...my mistake!

No, I actually did not. I haven't really been into them. I just sort of found a small passion for Hermes and decided to get one...long wait though, but when I did, I wasn't as excited as I thought I should be. I am an LV lover for sure. I have everything I could possibly get in LV. But, Hermes is much classier.

LadyCouture, it still sounds like you are singling out iluvslux and actively promoting her. I do not know what you bought and I do now know where it was authenticated (we all know in the case of Hermes that you cannot do this) but the only conclusions I can draw are that you are (a) in a buying situation that may be risky, or (b) that you have a connection to the seller and are here to promote her.

It is rare for someone who is a member here only for days to suddenly "spot" the mention of an unknown seller in a thread post and recognize her instantly and come to her defense.

I just want to say again that readers here should start their buying at the boutiques or from sellers on the "good seller" list here. At the moment I have seen nothing so far from iluvslux that I do not consider a real risk.

I do agree with you. My not being savvy as a Hermes buyer or seller or authenticator, then I am very inclined to listen to what you are saying. And, yes I did buy a Hermes for resale, but it was from a boutique which I thought was owned by this seller and it was not, it is someone else, so I made a HUGE mistake in endorsing him or her on the sale of her Hermes bags. I will be certain not to do this again.

Looks authentic but it's definitely NOT epsom. With the flash, having a hard time saying for sure - possibly Gulliver or box? And condition is worse than they let on in their grading.

Agree with Mistikat. It does look authentic and the leather is a bit of a mystery. Not courchevel. Gulliver or, very softened with age, box leather is my best guess.

Help please. I am new here, but heard that you guys are the best and that you can help me authenticate. So, here it is.

Item: In-Boutique
Listing number: None
Seller: Fantastica - Store Name
Link: Please see below
Comments: This boutique is out of state, but it is a consignment boutique. I keep in contact with the owner to purchase every now and again. She e mailed me pics of a Birkin she has that I have been interested in. The first pic is of two bags, but I'm interested in the 30cm purple one. I uploaded the pics to Picasa so that you guys could share your expertise. Thank you all so very much.

Hm.. but this looks like an authentic Passe Passe to me.
Seller has sold authentic H in the past. Hopefully someone else can give an additional :tup:
