FYI my other Hermes Lydie bag sold elsewhere (VC) and I likely will offer this bag there there as well 

From all Hermes leathers IMO Barenia is the number 1 leather; it’s practical, scratches can be buffed out, water resistant, lightweight and the color fascinating, from warm cognac light to medium brown to darker brown, depending the lighting. 
 
From my personal collection, bought in 2007 from a fellow TPF member private sale and authenticated by bababebi. a fashionable, yet workhorse, sporty yet elegant and fits any occasion,  
——————————

The Barenia leather developed a beautiful patina. As its a natural leather, it developed a different lighter patina (bottom corners outsides of the bag) versus the rest of the leather. The strap is also slightly lighter. And likely the patina is still not finished;)  

The outside leather and toile is in really good condition, incl stitching, no cracking, light corner wear on the corners (which is only noticable if you look very closely) except for one loser Stich on the side top I discovered upon thoroughly investigation. I used saphir (foamcleanser) for the toile, and the Barenia leather and once in a while the Hermes recommended saddle soap

The inside, is clean, but does have spots, couple small penstripe spots in the bottom side (less 0.5 cm long and 1-2 mm wide) In the bottom of the side I found a small tear in the leather, (yet behind it is the toile) its less then a cm long and smaller then  0,5 cm wide, not noticable as its in the side flab fold, due to the strap) see picture. There are 2-3 darker spots, see picture. in the bottom leather. I considered to have a professional fix cq color this, because Hermes does not fix the inside of a bag) but did not, to ensure the buyer can go to a Hermes spa. inside leather flabs and the outside leather/toile is in very good condition. 

The handles are excellent, and did color somewhat darker at the top, where you would hold it, but not blackened. 

Other then that its clean of any dust or dirt, comes from a smoke free home, the bag smells nice. The toile is clean front and back, the bottom on each end, does have some faint discoloration. 

The gold hardware is in excellent condition, no discoloration or oxidation. Pictures are made while the bag is empty, and holds its shape and stored properly so it would. 

It comes with its clochette and matching keys, also in excellent condition  

Box and dustbag is not included (international) shipping will be calculated. It ships from the Netherlands. I may at some point travel to the USA and could be shopper from there in that case. 


Please ask me any questions (incl recommended professionals in Europe and USA if to fix the darker spots) ) esp if you have a just created account.
