I am in the process of buying a 32 Black box leather Hermes Kelly from fashionphile.com and would appreciate an authenticator's opinion.

Item: 32cm Black box leather Hermes Kelly
Listing Number: N/A
Seller: Fashionphile.com
Link: www.fashionphile.com but the bag is no longer there because I purchased it.

The bag has a scratch which I plan to have polished at the Hermes store in my city. The date code is R (T) with the T stamped inside a circle, which I believe means that the bag was made in 1990. It is missing a lock but comes with the keys, clochette, and bag strap. I has a 5 day return policy. I am buying it for $3500 from fashionphile.com

I would really appreciate an Hermes expert's opinion on this bag, or any experience with fashionphile.com. Is this Hermes real or fake?

Thank you so much!

Yes authentic. Price is high for a bag this age.

Gracekelly, the 32 Hermes Black box leather Kelly above was described at fashionphile.com as having "gold tone hardware" but don't all Hermes Kellys and Birkins that look gold in actuality are gold-plated? Perhaps it was mistake in description?

Not all sellers know what metal hardware is made of. Older bags have brass hardware. More recent ones have gold plated. Anyway, "gold tone" is a way to describe the color without beeing specific about the material. I would not take this as a mistake.
