Hi I am a huge fan of vintage bags. I just purchased a Lucille de Paris black alligator skin with a silver filagree clasp and in perfect condition for a very reasonable sum. Looking on the website of vintage skins a similar bag is being offered for 1,300. so i am pretty happy with my buy, not to mention i luv the bag and the history of it.

Hi! Congrats on your Lucille!! Have you seen the Lucille de Paris thread on here? http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags-and-purses/lucille-de-paris-359398.html
Glad to meet a fellow Lucille lover! :smile1:

I am a huge fan of vintage bags. The quality is far superior to anything made today. That said, I recently encountered a vintage Kelly (from 1960) that I'm interested in, although it needs a little spa time... the "Hermes Paris" engraving is on BOTH straps reaching across the front of the bag. I have only ever seen it on the strap to the right (if you're facing the bag). Has anyone ever seen something like this before?

You will get better responses if you post this on the Hermes forum. Be forewarned that the Hermes forum is very conscious of following rules as far as posting in the correct place. They don't want random questions like learning about fakes or price on the authentication thread.

And if you do authenticate, be very sure you follow the required format. And with a designer bag, it is always a good idea to authenticate. .

Since this bag is from the sixties, this thread may be of interest to you.

I am not a Hermes expert but have been reading in that forum. People usually call the stamps on the straps "blind stamps". I have only seen pictures of inside of the stamps showing date codes not the Hermes stamp. Here is a thread on date stamps.

You probably want to do a search on "blind stamps" limiting the search to the Hermes section of the forum. It is always a good idea to try to research your question before posing it to others.

You may also want to review FAQ and the Kelly thread.

Actually I do collect vintage LV. I am in absolute love with vintage LV trunks :love: :love: . I only have one vintage LV bag though, the others were new. I literally get giddy when I see a vintage LV for a steal of a price. :nuts:

I purchased this LV from the wife of a doctor.
She travelled to Europe in the 80's and we were discussing handbags.
She offered to sell me this bag for $50, of course I couldn't refuse. It is in great condition, but the bottom could use a little TLC.

I purchased this one at a resale for $80.
