As I said, this was I believe from Bergdorf in the early 90s...I thought the color was unusual and had never seen anything like it where I'm from. Retailed for either $760 or $790.

I doubt this was from Bergdorfs. It's an imitation of an Hermes Birkin. Not the kind of thing BG sells, even in past decades.

Well, I understand that it looks similar to the Birkin bags but it was not trying to claim to be a Hermes - no markings except for the f on the zipper. The dustbag it came with had what I remember thinking was an Italian name at the time - I was in college then so I'm not certain. I'm not sure how old you are, but these were not en vogue or popular in the early 90s the way they later became - meaning there wouldn't have been a demand for knockoffs or "imitations" at the time - and Bergdorf's wouldn't have sold counterfeits either. I remember thinking that $760 was absolutely outrageous then too but I liked the quality cut and feel of the leather (I ,of course, used the heck out of it so it's got 20 years of use as you can probably see). People told me they couldn't stand the color - it just wasn't in style then..yet.

Please note that I didn't say it's a knockoff of Hermes, because it doesn't reproduce the Hermes markings etc to pass itself off as a product of Hermes. But it's an imitation of a Birkin in form and design, and nothing else. There were (and are) Italian and French companies turning out Hermes "inspired" bags, so maybe that's its origin.

There were indeed fake Hermes in the 1990s. The popularity of their most expensive bags is not a recent thing.

Hey guys. I'm looking in to getting a Balenciaga city in black. I came across this picture (first image attatched) - is this a city bag? And which model is it? I noticed there are no tassels. Also which bag do you like better classic or this one? ImageUploadedByPurseForum1407466080.248399.jpg ImageUploadedByPurseForum1407466121.730733.jpg
