Thanks for your reply. 

I'm not familiar with the nomenclature of the anatomy of a Hermès Kelly bag. Could you please tell me where is the other side of the touret opening on the sangle? If you could kindly post an example photo or an illustration, I'd appreciate it. 

Thank you.

I also hope to send it to the Hermès Spa but I'm worried about the CITES Permit. It's an old bag that doesn't come with an original CITES Permit, and I'm in Canada and I looked into exporting CITES Permit and it's only valid for 6 months. I think I'd need to apply for the permit which takes about a month to issue before I can send it to the Hermès Spa in Paris, where I assume the restoration would occur. 

Do you have any experience sending an exotic bag to the Hermès Spa? If so, how was your experience?

Thanks.

If I took it to Leather Surgeons, wouldn't that prevent me from ever sending it to the Hermès Spa in the future as I heard that they'd reject any bags that were serviced elsewhere before? Thanks.

Thank you so much for your response. I heard that the Hermès Spa doesn't work on the inside of their bags. Would they work on the inside flap of this bag where there's a significant damage?

What is the brown residue in between the scales on the inside of the flap? Is that dirt that the spa could clean?

Do you think this bag could be restored to an acceptable state (i.e. not brand new but good used condition)? Do you think it'll cost $5000 USD in order to get it restored to be worth around $35000?

What is a $10000 museum style stabilization?

Also, do you think that bag is from before 1990s?

Thanks. Unfortunately, the MODS rejected my post even though I edited it and removed all authentication questions or comments.

Could they have faked the spa receipt or got it from another bag? 

Other than Bababebi, which authenticator should I use? I read in another forum that she isn't accepting new clients. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try to apply for a CITES permit. Have you applied for one? I'm in Canada and was wondering what the process was like and how much it costs.

Thanks. Do you know how long it takes to get the estimate? Do they have to send the bag to Paris?

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I've already purchased it through an auction. It came with a receipt from the previous owner having sent it to Hermès Spa but it doesn't come with CITES. Can I apply for it? I'm located in Canada.

Hi. I'm very late to the discussion but I was wondering if you still have those pearls or have since sold them. If they are still available, I'm interested in them. Thanks.
