I'm doing my serious research and just called Hermes Paris (5pm, Nov 25 2006) to check on the prices for the 30cm Birkin in box calf. Here's what I found out, for anyone who's interested:
Birkin 30cm in box calf - 4550 euros
Birkin 30cm in vache ligee - 4850 euros
(she could not find the price for it in swift, and said she doesn't know if it comes in swift )
Kelly (sellier) 32cm in box calf - 4500 euros
Kelly (retourne) 32cm in box calf - 3900 euros
Kelly (retourne) 32cm in swift - 3900 euros
*price before minusing detaxe of 10%
The SA informs me that the price will increase right after New Year's, not in February.
