I have spoken with people involved in this situation and I do know some would like this thread closed. I apologize to those that I have personally offended by reopening, it wasn't my intention. I do believe that many people care greatly about the final outcome, and that was my intention for reopening.
I also want to personally state that bababebi is not only the gold standard in authenticating for thousands, but also for members of our forum. I personally would go to her for anything I wanted authenticated and I know she did not want to be looped into a discussion of this magnitude, nor do I think the OP intended for that. This thread piqued the interest of many and many worry about how Hermes is handling this - that's how I read this.
The post on our site was written by one of our writers who thought this was something that should be covered. Again, I think like many of you on this thread it is a larger issue - we all believe brands should be right all the time and when we realize they may not be, it makes us question so many things. I think it's important to tell - because truth is not everything is always as it seems. This has happened to me in other arenas, even with Doctors making huge mistakes, and I do think we should share when this happens in the right venue. When it comes to bags, this is the venue.
I am open to all of your suggestions right now - I am not looking for this thread to get out of hand - and I am open to reclosing if that is what would be in the best interest of the forum and especially our authenticator.

We thought about it more and decided it's best to close the thread until there is an update from the OP. Please feel free to PM me with any concerns or anything else you may need. Thanks!
