NOTE: All Hermes Handbags are Final Sale due to the sensitivity of the leather and handling. Also, all (Chanel and other) items which state "NWT" (new with tags) or "New" in the title, store-fresh, are Final Sale as they have never been handled by any individual other than the photographer. We do not mark like-new items which come in on consignment from a previous owner as "new" but as "pristine"; all items that are marked "new" have never been handled by any other customer.

There is NO DEADLINE or expiration for this policy - you do not have to get your bag authenticated within 3 days or lose the chance to return something due to authenticity-related issues. Selling a fake is a federal crime, and every consumer who purchases a counterfeit should be aware that they are entitled to not only get their money back from any fraudulent seller, but should also request the seller be prosecuted by the federal government to the fullest extent of the law.

- Every piece we list is manually inspected and pre-authenticated prior to listing
- Photographs for each listing are unique to the bag for sale that the customer will receive. Even if it is the exact same model, we will never re-use photos
- All of our items come with a double-your-money-back guarantee on authenticity. That means that we guarantee the authenticity of this item to the point where if you ever were to find it not authentic, we would refund twice the amount of your initial purchase price.
- Recently, we also started offering complimentary third party authentication vouchers along with each Chanel purchase, and these voucher codes can be redeemed with Etinceler Authentications, the go-to authentication house for federal cases, investigations, Ebay and PayPal claims, on Chanel.

The Hermes Birkin is probably one of the most coveted and desired bags in the world. Hand crafted and hand stitched, these bags are extremely hard to find.
Interior is lined in chevre (goatskin) leather, and features a side pocket and a side zipper pocket.
The 30cm size Birkin is probably the most coveted size birkin, in between the smaller 25cm and the larger 35cm. At about 11 inches wide, this size is petite, easy to manage and easy to keep clean. The 30cm currently demands a higher price point than its larger counterparts in the preowned market.
In Black Ardennes calfskin leather and 24k gold plated hardware. Ardennes leather, now discontinued, remains a favorite find amongst Hermes enthusiasts for its scratch resistance and its ability to hold its shape and not slouch over time like the other grained leathers. The grain is firm to the touch and perfect as a workhorse birkin.
This item is in excellent condition with very few signs of normal use. Corners are clean with no rubbing or scuffing. No slouching or creasing - crisp, clean lines and resin. Hardware is clean and shiny. It is a deep, yellow 24k gold plated hardware. Interior is clean. Please view all 12 to 16 images that are uniquely taken for this item.
Measures 11.5in. W (at base) x 8in. H x 6in. D, strap drop is 4 inches
"E" in a square, but barely ever used. Never refurbished.
Comes with Dust Bag, Cadena, Clochette
