i almost did not want to publish this post, but maybe my good karma will score me some points. i love vintage, i love hermes. and when i heard there would be 766 vintage hermes items up for auction, i quite literally cummed in my pants.
all sorts of birkins, kellys, pouches, scarves, porcelain, shoes etc. the auction is curated by french auction house "artcurial" and will take place on 20th may at hôtel marcel dassault in paris. i also hate to tell you this: we can bid online.
now let's play friendly and stay away from below 9 items ok?
carré en coton, à décor d'ancres rouges sur fond blanc. no idea what that means, but their estimated auction price is Eur20 - 30. i want a piece of this action!

This is fantastic!! I am loving all of it. I wonder if they ship to the U.S...OK, I will stay away from the briefcase, but i'm not sure I will be able to sty below 9 items;)
ReplyDeleteGreat scoop!
thx
oops. I forgot to log out of my girlfriends computer. It's not Elizabeth, it's Philip;)
ReplyDeleteare they freakin serious with those prices? the TPF women will jack em up into oblivion!
ReplyDeleteThe prices are astounding.
ReplyDeleteit's ALL about the green portfolio.
ReplyDeleteI love the Horsemanship bag with the "Hermes Sellier" letters and the black comb they are selling. Thanks for the info, and I wonder if they ship to Canada?
ReplyDeleteshipping has to be separately arranged with the auction house, and estimated prices as just... estimates. from what i hear, actual prices transacted were actually much much highly. :(
ReplyDeleteoh me likey! i doubt they'd go that low though. :-( goodluck with the green portfolio! :-)
ReplyDeletebased from a few discussions at tPF, the prices of these can reach astronomical heights.
ReplyDeleteyes, the red briefcase is a Kelly briefcase.
good luck, joe.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine gave me four vintage Hermes knit/silk pieces to sell for her but I cannot locate the print name or determine what era they are from. I've been searching online for days and have come up blank. Do you have any suggestions that might help us out?
Thanks so much.
