This one is different from the Alpo Kelly

I don't know what I dislike the most about that bag -
I'm trying to figure out if that is mold or discolouration on the base
And why would you try to restitch it? Especially when it is that bad of a job.

I love train wrecks. A lot of them just look like they have had heavy wear with a careless owner. A little TLC, and they have a gravitas. This one looks like someone left it in a shallow puddle, then said, "This is Worth Something on Ebay!"

Please. Don't try to repair it. Honestly.

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 don't know what ALPO means, but I really feel sorry for this bag. Seller also set a "low and reasonable" reserve price!
 
That's was I was thinking, sorry for not making it clear. A reserve price for a bag in these condition is ridiculous

She and I have swapped emails, and she is very nice, but the reserve is unrealistic for the condition and/or any work that might be attempted...

I have older bags in better condition that I got for less than her reserve - COMBINED!:p
