deeelite1 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I've had a rare Hermes Birkin bag sitting in my closet for over 3 yrs now..someone from a previous job gave it to me because when he broke up with an ex it was a gift and he wanted it back because it costed serious money.. being that he immediately moved in with another girl , he had nowhere to put this thing so gave it to me because I am bag obsessed..this bag isnt' really my STYLE so i never used it.... now I want to sell it because it goes for a ridiculous amount of money. only problem is I don't have the papers for it or authenticity card.I was wondering If i went to the Hermes store if they would look at it and write something up to verify authenticity..http://cgi.ebay.com/35cm-CLASSIC-RED-Hermes-Birkin-Bag-Gold-Hardware_W0QQitemZ6836402678QQcategoryZ63852QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemany suggestions?

I was skeptical at first and looked into it.. I've compared it to the fakes IN PERSON.. I've seen fake Hermes' before and mine looks nothing like them.. I looked into it when i first got it..Besides, its the jelly bags that are easy to imitate not the alligator one with the 24ct gold locks.
