Hermes....Real or not...Hummmm?????

Hi Girls...has anyone ever heard of a Birkin losing one or more of its feet?? Another naive question...why do some Birkins have Hermes-Paris engraved on the hardware with the icon for Registered Trademark and some do not? Any help greatly appreciated. jrt

i have been told that the registered trademark on the strap hardware is the required mark to show that the item is gold plated, not solid gold. that is why it appears on the gold hardware and not the palladium hardware. a little misleading when sellers say 24kt gold hardware. it's really plated.

Oh okay, she was talking about what I call the "flower symbol" even though I know it's not a flower. Got scared for a minute.

Hahah, you don't want to know what popped into my head when I read that. :shame:

jrt, perhaps you are referring to the little square on the gold metal of the strap closure? It just means the hardware is gold (as opposed to palladium or other metals that do not have this mark).

Oops, just saw that this was already answered (I missed that there was a page 2)

Hah hah I love the names you guys give to the trademark! I call it "the squarey" Please don't laugh AT me LOL
