Agree with S'Mom.

Leaving the pictures of the bag itself aside, which are off, if you look at the picture of the model with the bag you will see it is not even the one in the auction. She has what appears to be a 35cm with Palladium and they are trying to sell a 40cm with Gold.

lvchanelqueen, there are things on pictures of the two bags that frankly concern and confuse me. For one, in your reveal thread, if I'm not mistaken, you asked what colour the ostrich bag was, whether it was gold or orange. Yet the receipt you posted clearly states gold. No? I think you also said the black bag is togo but it doesn't appear to be togo from the pictures posted here.

And there are details on both bags that trouble me regarding authenticity. It is, of course, possible this is a case of less than optimal craftsmanship, or relates to the photos. But based on what I am seeing, I cannot at this point give either of these a green light. Sorry.

Well...oh my.

First of all, I actually did take a moment of MY TIME to ask you to use the format. I cannot account for any of the other authenticators but I imagine I am not the only one who spent time on this.

Then---thinking you actually had a real authentication request---I took a little time to put the incorrectly parsed link (below) in my browser and actually make it a live link so I could see the bag...in case you needed help right away on an auction about to close. Then I was treated with a few seconds of looking at this hideous piece of dreck, seconds of my life I will never recover and that were totally wasted.

Then, I took another moment to go back edit my post requesting that you use the format to say that I had checked and that the bag was not real.

Then a few more moments to formulate a polite response, complete with smiley, to let you know that this thread really is for serious requests only, but that you had a pass on this one misstep.

Then, another few moments to read your (rude) response to me, multiquote the whole mess and write this response.

All this....in the hopes that you will take a moment to understand that we are all volunteers here and and that our time is valuable, and that we are here to help serious people find authentic bags and avoid losing serious amounts of money.

I see that you are new to the forum, posting wise, and seem to gravitate toward authentication threads. I hope you will have a better understanding of what we are trying to do here in the future.

No, I have always say the black one is clemence, never togo, and yes, I was told the SA it's a gold, but doesn't it look orange under the sun? After I check the receipt, which I also posted here, it's gold, and I clarified it in my post it's a gold , color code 37 twice.
I bought the bags from flag store, and I am confident they are real, and I have receipt and shipping info. from the stores, so I know they are real, but thanks anyway.

I'm sorry. Language barrier or not, your comment was rude and more than that it was insensitive to the rest of the posters who take this thread seriously. I have a thick skin and even I was surprised.....and that's pretty hard to do.

But let's let water run off a ducks back and start again, shall we? Only this time it would be best if you were to post when you have something of value to contribute.

Respectfully, I think I just did say I have issues with the pictures and the bags. And you dismissed that.

Are you basing this on what I said in my thread? Gold Ostrich is the third Hermes I got, and I was so excited seeing it at Jersey Store, you can call Helena, the SA I use at the store, the store number is 201-487-1111, I also met a fellow tpfer there too, she left me a comment in my thread.
I might have be not as knowledge as you ladies on hermes, and said something you consider as confusing for my poor knowlegde, and also english is not my first language, it got you confused. But the facts here are my pictures are good, and it accompanied with receipt image.
As far as the black birkin, check my thread and I have never said Togo, always clemence. But, again, thank you for you to take time to authentic this the best you can.

I've been an occasional lurker for a couple of years and have lately had more time so have been following this thread the past few weeks. I think you authenticators go above and beyond to be honest and polite and I appreciate your work. You have been much kinder to some of the recent people seeking authentification than I would. Kudos to you and thank you.

OK...lvchanelqueen, thank you for posting the pictures.

This happens from time to time, it is not a reflection of your integrity, just our concern about the bags. Thank you for posting.
