Great look!



Yes, Barneys in Beverly Hills has a section of preowned Hermes. Mainly Birkins and Kellys. It's very quiet over there. Kind of like a museum. The sales associate said that most people don't touch them. They have a white exotic on the top shelf to insure that never happening. So I was just paying my respects to the greatness in front of me and eying the turquoise 25 when the museum guard, er, the sales associate hovered closely and pronounced, "That bag is $27,000." I said, "That's a bit over retail." She said "It's a lot over retail". The conversation had reached an end point.

Yes, maybe we can write a script. We won't need to invent anything. Imagine how many times a day she has to defend that pricing.

Thank you, ari.
I would think the buyers are a fast-moving crowd with more assets than math skills.
First floor in the regular handbag section.

These are bags from Heritage Auctions - they basically have their own Barneys section. It used to be one cabinet and now they have their own little showcase :) I wonder if they pay Barneys for the brand exposure....
The prices are hilarious! But the sales guy told me they sell. Some people just want a bag no matter what.
Maxfield in LA also has an Hermès section - in fact, they have a lot of very cool vintage items such as desk items, clocks, etc. They have a selection of bags, most of which are pretty "vintage", and all of which are as hilariously priced as Barneys, although there's a well-loved black Barenia B30 which makes me wish that $25K was nothing to me :amuse: :back2topic:

I'm planning to wear my K (almost) daily...
here's me this morning heading out for back-to-school supplies with my daughter. casual enough. I did end up at Bongéne, but that's for another thread. (yikes must learn to minimize photos & clean mirrors!)
