I've been eying this Victoria 45 on TRR. The description only says light creasing at exterior. To me the exterior looks discolored but I'm not familiar enough with the bag in question to know if that's how it's supposed to look? Any help would be much appreciated.

You might ask them to send it to a TRR near you so you can get an "in person" look. I've done that- gone into my store, asked for the transfer, looked/taken photos, had it authenticated separately and only then purchased a bag.

Canvas gets dirty very easily and it's tough to tell if that's shadows or dirt on the bag.

I just kind of want to vent here if that is okay. I had a negative/weird experience the other day trying to buy an Hermes scarf from ebay. I have never purchased from ebay before, but my DH has. I purchased the Into the Canadian Wild Scarf from 2017. It charged my credit card and said it was being delivered from Canada through Canada Post. Then a few hours later it cancelled my order saying there was a problem with my address and I would be getting a refund in 3-5 business days.
I had seen the exact scarf on both ebay and Etsy and placed both in my cart at the same time deciding which to purchase from. I have purchased a few times before from Etsy. Anyhow, I purchased it from Etsy. I was wondering if this was the same scarf on both sites? It was just so strange.

Another thing that is disturbing is seeing quota bags go from the Toronto boutique straight to the reseller. I understand after a year or so you may not like the bag or realize maybe it was an impulsive buy. But buying it and then flipping it to make a hefty profit? That's 2 so far I've seen in a short period of time and wondering if this is the same person. I understand once you buy your bag it belongs to you and it's your right to do as you wish but is it right to flip it? I'm just curious to know how other people feel about this.
I'm sorry if I'm not supposed to post this here. Moderators go ahead and move or delete me if need be. :smile:

I have definitely seen sellers list the same scarf on multiple sites. Sometimes you can tell by similarities in the seller's name on the different sites. In any case, if it sells on the second site before they can cancel the listing, then you should get a refund, like you did.

On 10 Nov, I paid a deposit for an Hermes bag by a reseller in Singapore who has a store in Orchard Road. At first I was told the bag would arrive in a few days. However, I was told later the seller would like to get a tax refund so the bag will only arrive in Sg on 22-23 Nov.

Yesterday I texted him to ask about the bag and I was told it would arrive later or today. I have been trying to get in touch with him regarding the bag but he did not reply even though he is online.

I would much appreciate a reply to let me know when the bag will arrive or if the bag will arrive. If the bag is not coming, just refund me my deposit. I have been waiting for some time. Sadly, it’s quite an agonising process. Let’s see how this will go.

Can anyone opine on why nearly all of Finklepuff's bags do not come with boxes? She also refuses to charge extra to ship a box. Just seems strange to me, but maybe I'm missing something. I've never purchased from her nor any reseller so perhaps I just don't understand the game. something

Have you ask her ? I am curious too.

I found my dream Kelly…the right size, color and price (a tad on the high end but I can deal with it) but it’s on TRR. I would feel more comfortable with many other resellers but this one gives me pause.

I have a number of Hermes items but I am not confident enough to be able to tell if I got a fake or not, they have a final sale stance on designer bags AND I am hearing rumblings of financial trouble for them.

Would you do it or wait for another reseller, knowing I will likely pay even more with no guarantee when or if it will come up again in this color, HW, size combo?
