Thank you for the update. It looks great and I think the cost was very reasonable.
I am glad that my SO Crocodile Kelly is in the works.
I also heard no croc this year.

Congrats on getting you beautiful Kelly back. They did a fantastic job on her! Enjoy you bag!

Your bag is beautiful. You did well to take a chance on her. Hermes did a great job. I think the price you paid for restoration is well worth it.

Oh my, Mrs Vintage what a special bag..this is my grail bag and I will not die until I have one in my hot little hands..

Thanks a lot for all your nice comments.
I'm happy if I've contributed to this forum with maybe some interesting info?
I have learned so much from here, thanks to all you, Hermés experts.

Your croc kelly looks great! The corners look all healed. Thanks for letting us see the results. So - there is a lot of beautiful life left in vintage pieces - but only at Hermes!

Absolutely GORGEOUS bag!! I am so impressed with the restoration. Never thought it would look that great..practically brand new. Then again, they did fix it up nicely with Hermes craftsmanship. Kudos to you!!! Such grace and character with the vintage Hermes. I love them all!!

MrsVintage, what a find! what a great job! on yours and Hermes part
This is all simply amazing and you will be rewarded by this beauty for years and years to come. Don't you already feel like this gorgeous Kelly has been with you forever now?

MrsVintage thank you for sharing your restoration story, I love happy endings!

she looks gorgeous after her spa... I love how Hermes can restore their vintage bags to former glory...

What a fabulous story, MrsVintage - so so happy you got your gorgeous croc Kelly - and for such a bargain! I love how you reasoned her out, made an offer, bought her and I really love the report from Hermes FSH spa - your before and after pics are amazing - a true testament to Hermes I must say. Terribly exciting for you (and all of us living vicariously through you) - many many congratulations!

Thanks Katel, your kind post put a smile on my face!

The story dragged on for a while. That's the fun with buying vintage, the research, the fixing up (TLC) and finally getting to use it. I love it! And like to buy new things as well!

After searching and searching for info your story is making me think I should at least try to go for the old simlar purse I found online. Thank you for sharing your story.
