Recommendation for Birkin Purchase

[sunrayminor]

Hi guys,

Wasn’t sure where to post this, but here goes.

I would like to buy for my wife a Hermes Kelly pictured below. Back in the day I used to deal with Bergies/Ken, but understand he is not around anymore so looking for a new high end dealer. Anyone have any contacts they can share via PM that specialise in top quality? Was looking at Aadi, but not convinced they have the best quality for Hermes? Thoughts and suggestions welcome. Thank you Sunray.

Check out Sead and his crew. Only good experiences with them.

Check this list of Hermes rep dealers: https://www.reddit.com/r/WagoonLadies/wiki/hermes-resources/hermes-contact-list/

Rachel is supposed to have the highest quality bags. However you need even more patience than with watch reps as the bags are usually hand made to order. I'm still waiting for my purchase from Feb.

Yes I PM’d the original poster about Rachel from uncle bench.
Take a LONG time, but getting one in that color you want will be custom.
Also any ready to ship from them are
Often bags that were RL from other buyers

I bought my wife one about 8 years ago. I think it was from Uncle Bench. It was custom made and cost around 5k. It was spot on. They were offering the Croc ones at the time for 8k.

Yeah, nice leather with upgraded hardware gonna run around 2k.

That's a solid starting point. The cheaper stuff just doesn't pass the test

Trust me. My wife is a bag snob. She refuses to use reps and judges people..

Personally I'd not use UB anymore as their communication isn't great and they take way too long to get product made and sent. I found la_paris27 on IG who are excellent; products are great quality, communication is on point and shipping times are very fast. A key point worth noting is they ship from Malaysia, not China, so they raise less suspicion when shipping to to many countries (I'm in the UK so it's definitely easier to get things through customs).

For reference, I bought a gen Birkin from Hermes, sold it for a pretty hefty profit and got laparis to make me an identical bag - I'll let you guess which is rep and which is real (pics below)...
