Thanks, CobaltBlu. I'm on the fence about it, since I've never examined this "new" version in person. The finish at the top of this one is different from the original version. Also, the no date stamp has me a bit concerned. It looks like a useful little thing, though, and then there's the yummy raisin box leather to tempt me. I'm going to watch and ponder it.

I believe this to be authentic.

Caveat, I dont own this bag, but I have shopped for millions of them, LOL...and in the boutiqe as well...and as you say, this is indeed a reputable seller and this one is consistent with the ones I have seen. Very cute bag and a little mini-grail of mine in raisin box! I hope you bid victoriously.

Know that this is a wee bit of a bag and doesnt have the "heft" of other H pieces, the strap is minimalist and it is made to be featherlight....cute though!!

I do not have a good feeling about this bag. I dont think it is authentic. I notice that the seller has lots of pictures of the outside, but the interior pictures are poor. I would advise against.

I also just have a personal pet peeve against auctions with lots of pictures of celebrities carrying the bag in the auction. Maybe it is supposed to help sell the bag, but i find it a negative rather than a positive. But that is just my personal view.

I have compared this to my Herbag and to another vibrato Plume in a similar vibrato that I own. Herbags are often faked. Because they are pretty much all machine made this is easier to do. Vibrato is hard to fake, although it has been done. I would say that the bag is OK.

Vibrato is a bit delicate. When you buy a Vibrato at Hermes, they give you a special eraser to help rub out dirt marks. I have found an ordinary pencil eraser work just as well. I think you should ask for pictures of the bottom of the bag as it could well be dirty, to make sure you are OK with the condition.

I'm having a hard time with this one. I think it may be authentic, but not one of the finer examples of Hermes craftmanship. And, I certainly agree with Bababebi, re: pictures of the inside.

Here's a case where I think we may benefit from a second or even third opinion.

Beautiful and authentic. Lovely seller. It'll be interesting to see where the price ends.

This is a seller that has sold tons of hardware supplies and nothing remotely close to anything Hermes that I can see. I think you should ask some questions....ask to see a better picture of the interior and close up shots of the body of the bag. Find out where he got it......otherwise, I'd pass and wait for a reputable reseller with Hermes experience and knowledge to offer one.

Authentic, and not a bad price. Looks almost new. I'd guess it's about the price of a new one plus tax.
