How much to pay for an employee bag?

[teddy61]

Hi everyone,

Could someone please let me know if it's worth it to spend over retail for a Kelly sellier in lime? The thing is this bag was offered to a Hermes employee so the bag has a stamp code underneath of the Hermes print. I have not seen the bag in person but it looks good to me in photos except for that code.. it does bother the eye the little...

Thanks for your help!

U mean the metero stamp? I heard the bag cannot be sent to spa should it has any problem

How much is this "over retail"?

If the bag has a good price and you don't mind that stamp... It depends on you.

The code bothers me as well,I have been offered a employee bag once rough with ghw,and was asking for £8500, over the retail price but less than the reseller,saw the bag in person loved everything about it but couldn't stand for the code underneath,have to let it go
I mean I wouldn't pay more than £7000 for a kelly employee bag..but it depends how much u love the colour

Also a reseller has offered a employee bag to me kelly 32 Epsom PHW Tosca exterior and RT interior lovely lovely colour combination, was asking £6800 didn't take it for the same reason.

Do you know if employee bags are more cheap than regular bags?

You cant sell employee bags to anyone,it is made for the employees,but some of them offer to customer in private for some quick cash that is why they are cheaper than the reseller ..

I am sure some experts here can help u better .

It's the blind stamp code in the middle that starts with an S and employee # I believe. Yeah I heard the same thing...

It's about $2k over store price but still inexpensive compare to reseller price for the Kelly sellierr

Omg that color combo is so pretty... Yeah I guess that stamp is a big deal... And I love to wear my kelly open so it's definitely very important..

If you really love the bag and you don't mind the stamp... I would buy. Unless you think you can get the bag directly from a special order in the boutique.

I personally would not buy an employee bag since its loose its security of bring it back to the spa for repair and treatments and value for resell

I actually think it depends if you ever want to re-sell the bag.

If you love it and death do us part, named in your will and would even 'tattoo' it with your initials then 100% go for it

but

if it's capital/collateral/ a lime investment then absolutely
