I don‘t even know how to express my excitement about my find. It‘s a dream come true and two bags had to go to make up for it.. It was a comparative steal at WELL below 20k usd and despite my Hermès knowledge, that made me have some doubts of its authenticity, but thanks to bababebi, those doubts are out of the way. I was told by serious Hermès collectors that it‘s condition was poor, but to me it‘s the perfect vintage.

Here you go… My forever dream come true… A 1995 Vintage Birkin 35 in Ficelle Alligator. I know… it‘s unbelievable… I just had to share.

Hello! I have been looking for a Balle de Golf bag for a while finally found one on Rebag recently and purchased it.
While the listing says it is Courchevel, I have never seen or held this older leather in person. So, I am not sure.
Overall, the bag is in good condition, but I can’t be sure about authenticity. Here are some pictures to admire. The stamp has faded and depending on the direction you read it in, it looks like a A or a V in a circle

Courchevel is the predecessor to epsom. I have a vintage plume in Courchevel and love it.

Congrats on the find! Looks like V
 
Thank you! I took it to the spa for repair (Madison, I’m in NYC) and they sent it to Paris because it needed a lot of work. I was so happy when it came back with a new strap, hardware and stains removed.

I’m not exactly sure of the year and I can’t find a stamp to tell me for sure but would guess it’s late 1990’s or very early aughts.

What a beautiful color! Also, the condition looks great. How old is it?
