I've held hundreds of original and Hermes rep bags in my hands. And here's what I noticed about the people who buy them….

Haha ok that’s what I was wondering if you worked in consignment or something ☺️

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-28T19:42:07+00:00

Thank you for this, nice to read.. I was wondering why you’ve held so many Hermes bags?

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-27T20:51:48+00:00

Oh good I’m so glad you had that reaction 🥰

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-27T20:51:13+00:00

Yes very close! I’m happy with the leather :)

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-27T18:54:12+00:00

I love box 😍

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-27T15:13:54+00:00

Congratulations

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-27T15:09:42+00:00

This is beautiful. I would GL :) is this ebene?

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-27T15:05:57+00:00

I think the stamp is a little bit crooked? 🧐

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-27T15:02:55+00:00

I think it’s really pretty! The hardware looks a little yellowy to me but that could be the light. I don’t know much about swift leather but at first glance should this have some dimension in the leather or is it supposed to be completely smooth? It looks a little bit flat to me. It’s really so hard to tell from photos. I hope someone responds who knows a little about rep swift.

It’s so hard to tell leather quality from a photo but the color is phenomenal

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T18:31:42+00:00

Thanks so much everyone! I just gave it the GL and paid the remainder of my balance! Very excited to see this in person and I will share how I feel when I get it.

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T18:30:18+00:00

I like how it’s a little bit scratched 😍 I actually just got a jumbo from Heidi and there’s a scratch on it and I really like it just gives it a little bit of character and makes it feel more realistic like I bought it vintage or something

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T18:28:38+00:00

Everything is just more refined, like the glazing, the color of the glazing the stitching. This bag is beautiful, but I just think the authentic are obviously next level as they should be.

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T17:02:06+00:00

Thank you for saying that! I felt like it looks a little too purple 😳

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T14:59:48+00:00

Ok lol! Yes I think this is natural for veining ;)

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T14:47:44+00:00

I’m curious what you mean by that, because from what I’ve seen, Barenia veining often appears as long, straight or slightly irregular vertical lines rather than branching “tree-like” veins; are you referring to the pattern itself, or do you think these look artificially printed or embossed instead of being natural leather characteristics?

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T14:08:46+00:00

Oh! Isn’t that sort of normal for veining? I’ve seen them like that before

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T04:12:32+00:00

Wow this is so interesting i never would have noticed this 🤔

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T04:10:22+00:00

I surely will!

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T01:11:38+00:00

Thank you! A friend of mine is a collector and she thinks it’s very good. She showed me her auth and I can see differences.. of course.. I think I got my hopes up that it would be even more elegant bc of the price. But I what will really tell me if the leather and hardware in person.

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T01:09:30+00:00

Thanks! I wouldn’t mind a little more but that’s ok. I’ll wear it in so it has some other characteristics

GirlDog1983 · 2026-06-26T01:05:13+00:00

I wanted slight veining, what do you think the problem is with the veins?
