I really don't know what to say there are large pieces of navy leather?

Confused...what's wrong with it? Aside from the horrendous shipping, I mean....

This vintage Kelly supposedly was restored by Hermes... I can only imagine what it looked like BEFORE:

Actually, I kinda like the saggy baggy elephant thing. But if you look at the picture on the bottom - third from the right, (the side detail picture) you will see large stripes of navy leather covering the top.

Thanks, Mc! I was on a netbook before and couldn't see that detail as I can now all nice and big on my laptop. That's why I said I couldn't see anything wrong before.

Yipes. The entire body of that bag is cracking.

 

[Luccibag]

The sorry and pity

OMG, how SAD!! Looks like it could be a real Kelly but with a non Hermes replacement handle. The handle looks "newer" than the body. How did it ever get like that!

Yikes! :sunnies

I'm kinda thinking this is different from the original ALpo - but I'll check the thread!

You are bidding on an authentic (*guaranteed* or money back) pre-owned Hermes Kelly bag in a lovely burgundy shade.


The underside of the strap end bears a C in a circle and a smaller letter A; the hardware has "Hermes Paris" on the strap and "Hermes Paris Made in France" on the main metal lock piece.


This bag is well used; it would benefit from a conditioning treatment, and there is a tear of about 1.5 inches on the upper right side, which is somewhat concealed when the bag is closed, but still visible from the back. I have used the bag in this condition without concern.


I'm setting a low and reasonable reserve in reference to the pre-owned condition; please set your expectations accordingly. I have loved wearing this bag! This is your chance to own a genuine Hermes bag for a reasonable price. Please get in touch with me for any questions. Also I will try to get some better pictures of the stamps and hardware.

I am affectionately calling this one the Alpo Kelly! :greengrin:

Seller comments: "I had it reconditioned at the Hermes Store in New York City a year ago.
The Bag has a new Lock and Keys.
Wear on the corners.
Hardware is still shiny with some scratches due to use. "

ALPO'S BACK

That's an interesting way to deal with worn corner's, IF it were worthwhile
