^^ Right. It's wrecked in a good way.

I can't tell if this is an authentic Hermes, but it's a train wreck for sure

It looks like the handle has rotted off.. Maybe it's just bad pictures, but... Poor baby!



Oh, and am I the only one to watch train wreck auctions on evilbay, thinking... Poor baby, and what are the bidders thinking?

 

[mezzopiano]

^^ My guess is that they bid out of pity; when they win, they would send those bags to Intensive Spa Unit or induce euthanasia.

My thought goes more to the previous owners... what they were thinking?... May be they are train wreck themselves?

This poor thing shows abuse history... sad.
How can people make such many pen-marks all over a bag!? :weird:

OMG I seriously can not believe what some people do to handbags. I hate to see what the rest of their stuff looks like YIKES

But you've got to love the honesty of the description: quote
Hardware is in good shape though unquote!!

^yes, exactly the same as Grace Kelly's one in the exhibition!

 

[mezzopiano]

^ If it were authentic.
Authenticity may not be a matter at this stage of bag's life, though... lol.

Wow!! That is so sad it makes me cringe!

 

[mezzopiano]

Woa! May be the owner was a oil painter?
Or was it dug out from remains of ancient Rome?
