margieb - great thread!!!
piaffe - I love your bags!!
As a librarian, I think piaffe's Birkins are like books that have been well loved, have a little story of its own, and still have some wisdom to share. Ya' know kinda like your favorite cookbook that has wine spilled on it or your favorite travel book that's all bent out of shape and has notes written all over it.
Then there are the others. They remind me of books that have been dropped in the tub, chewed by the dog, and sitting in Aunt Millie's dark and dank attic for the past 30 years but somehow will be made new and shiny with a little love.
Exactly! And my cookbooks are a mess of post-it notes, "fixes" and wine stains, LOVE THEM!!
Sorry to hear that Brennamom. That stinks.
The seller ended this listing early to sell to the high bidder(s) at current bid price.
for $530 to a (1) f/b seller!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what I hear is that with a little routine conditioning, Hermes Spa, and keeping yourbags away from the dog and bath tub - they DONT end up looking like this in 50 years

This stunning bag was carried less than five times and is still in very good condition. It was used in a boutique window display and has been exposed to sunlight. The lizard skin is lighter underneath the flap, under the straps and in several areas on the exterior, including the bottom. When closed, it has a lovely toasted almond hue with variations in the leather. Since this bag has been carried, you will notice some small signs of use including light scratches on the feet and hardware. There are no rips, tears, stains or odors. The interior is clean with a few small scuffs and indentations in the leather. Careful consideration was paid to the photos in this auction. Please see photos for greater details.
The exterior features glossy lizard skin with white stitching, gold hardware, tan leather interior, original Hermès lock and original Hermès key. The bag ranges from beige in the lightest areas to goldenrod yellow in the darker tones. Overall, the bag will seem yellow. The interior is lined in beige leather and features one zippered pocket and two open pockets. The key has "012" engraved on it.

Valencia - you are so well spoken!
I didn't know there was one! I just do it manually.
Awwww...so sorry you missed out on your bag. But as you always tell me, the right one will find you when it's time.
But does this mean another one has peaked your interest?!?!?
I think the ombre is pretty! Who cares what it looks like when it's open? And yes, I am :girlwhack:
