Up for bidding is this genuine, authentic Vintage Hermes Paris Birkin Bag from the 50's. The description of this bag is Haut A Courroie, 50cm, Gold Hardware, Vache Natural. The leather is real cowhide and has aged very nice. It now has that distressed look which is very in now. I have included in the description, many detailed pictures showing the condition. For its age it is in great condition. The bag was taken to the hermes store in manhattan, ny where an appraisal was given of $11,000 in august of 2008. If this bag was brand new it would sell for over $40,000. There are receipts also pictured showing that the bag was cleaned by hermes of manhattan and that an additional lock and key was bought for the bag which will be included. The bag will include all documentation pictured, the dust cover and orange hermes paper bag. The bag measures, 19inches long, 16inches tall, and 10inches deep. This bag can be used by a woman or man, it is not gender specific. If you have any question feel free to email me. This bag is guaranteed to 100% authentic by the manhattan store on 601 madison avenue, by Stephanie Torrieri.

My favourite thing about that auction is that condition is described as "fair plus". The plus must stand for the decay.

I thought it meant "Pathetic Little Unusable Sac"...

I agree, the price is ridiculous. What did they DO to this thing? In my mind, it's worse than the Alpo bag (that horrible red Kelly, also on eBay currently) because of the "repairs."

At least no one's bidding on it...yet!
