Very amusing! What a hoot - your statement and what a mess - the "handbag"!
Jesus Christ
That is just horrific, how in the hell can a person let that happen, surely there's someone in every family that knows the brand name and would hoick it out before this happened ?
Honestly. I just don't understand people anymore

I don't think he had anything to do with it.
Really a shame because a kelly from Bonwit's is such a wonderful item.
They say this bag is in very good condition. What on earth could we expect if one of their bags was in poor condition?

Someone desperate for a K or B to say they have one, or someone who thinks they can buy a bargain and sell it for more than they paid to someone desperate. Not that $2500+ for s bag that appears to have been attacked by weevils is a bargain
That being said, the DIY thread is proof a talented person can resurrect some of them. Doc did amazing things with a lizard K!

This bag has been redyed many times over and not by Hermes. And even Doc can't fix cracks in leather. Cracks to me mean a very brittle bag.
There are others who are more experienced than I, but I am sure there are limits that even Hermès craftsman have. Since I've seen posts on here about new, one-owner bags being replaced completely due to issues being unfixable, its entirely likely that they can't and won't try to fix it. That said, if you love the bag and can live with its characteristics, there may be ways to manage the issues and breathe new life into it. The question I'd probably ask is: on the docride scale of train wreck, how bad is it? Hope this helps!
On a more general note, some of these make me

Makes sense. I'll see what doc says. It's a vintage bag that I've been searching for (hint: it's in my signature) and I'm willing to take the plunge but it's a mess. I will wait for doc's response before I send payment.
