Just for the after service you get from Hermes actually makes the hefty price tags on their bags worth it. so you are fortunate to have inherited the bag from your mum. I have 3 hermes Fourre tout bags. Small, medium and large. and the small and medium look brand new. The large version is slightly faded and would love to see if Hermes can restore the colour . In total they all cost me less than £800, but compare to your which was a bargain.
The Spa really did a great job ! I wasn’t expecting it to look so great after the initial photo you showed. Definitely a timeless piece, although not the most easily « wearable » but the trend is back again to roomy bags, so you should be fine and you can definitely pass it on to your daughter or son (been seeing a lot of men wearing the birkin 30’ in a very stylish way). But very interesting video ! Khoudia your inheritance to the most 🎉😊
The 'clasp' you are referring to is called the 'Touret'. Loved this video and hearing your restoration story. Wow, wish my mother had a Birkin stored somewhere!!! 😅 Beautiful bag and congratulations! ❤
I had to pause @12:56 my goodness. It looks stunningly beautiful from the original condition it was in prior to spa!! Momma might just take that bag back when she visits 😂. Ok…back to the video
Loooooove the bag!!! I love bags and my mother is the same, she does not take care of her bags. I stuff them when not in use to keep the shape and I put them in dust bags. $450 for an authentic Birkin…WOW! Love it😊
You must make an update after you get the story from your mom on how she came to own a Birkin! Did they give you options for personalization or recoloring? My B40 has gold initial stamps on the inside of the sangles so if the H spa wouldn’t do that now I’d know not to try to send it off. Would the H spa replace the sangles anyway?
Hi - Hermes expert here. Your bag seems to be Togo leather (possibly clemence) so despite any support it would’ve slouched anyway as this is the nature and beauty of the leather. For structured Hermes leather Epsom is not only stiff but very light too! By the way, they have repainted the bag. You mentioned a few times “dusting off”. The inside (chevre leather) was also repainted from I can see. Enjoy your bag in good health it is my holy grail! I only own a 35!
Happy Tuesday fam! Links to everything are in my description box and please don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it!
Oh wow. As a fellow handbag obsessive. This gave me life. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the whole experience. Thank you so much for sharing. X

Wow what a difference! I remember when you showed it in a previous video 😭 glad they were able to help!!
I know!! They did such a great job, thanks for watching 💕
Looks beautiful! Beauty is in knowing an item has a history - and a beautiful family history!

Glad you had a great experience and it’s always nice to inherit, quality goods!

Thanks for sharing your experience! My Kelly is at the spa right now and I can’t wait to see the final result. Beautiful B40 btw!
I’m so excited for you! They do such a a great job!
I actually remember when Aunty bought this bag 🤣they did a great job restoring it x
Haha memories! They really did an amazing job ❤️
The bag is gorgeous thinking of taking mine Kelly to the spa she need some TLC
It looks amazing. What a great spa treatment.
Thank you!

Awww thank you!

Thank you lovely! I am fully expecting her to ask for it back now haha
I don’t think I wld have asked….. it would just magically disappear 😂. They did a really great job!
🤣🤣🤣
I enjoyed this video. This was the perfect way to get a Birkin
Thank you so much!
Looks great. I would get a maitai organizer or a microsuede organizer not felt. To keep its structure
Good idea, thanks!
You can find the age from the stamp 😊
Lovely bag! Please can you share the details of the guys that repaired your channel bag?
Yes it's called Luxury Bag Repairs at 19 N End Parade, London W14 0SJ they're on Google x
The Birkin is stunning 😍 what did ur mom say when you showed her?
I haven’t showed it to her yet but I’ll come back to tell you what she says when I do lol
They did an amazing job!
They really did!
You can see the year it was made on the sangle, there is a code
Oooh thanks!

Haha we have to love our mothers 🥰
It looks so good! What was your mom's reaction when you showed her?
I haven't shown it to het yet lol

I know they don’t recolour (if you mean changing the original colour of the bag) but I have no idea about personalisation sorry
New subbie ❤
Thanks for subbing!
You can definitely ask for a replacement for the key and padlock for a small fee
Thanks I'll look into that!
It looks lovely.
Thank you!
Did they want any receipt or proof of purchase from their boutique?
I didn't know the bag could lose its shape like that. Adding the organizer was a good idea.
Remember it hasn't been stored properly for years, it probably would not have been this slouchy if it had.
@@Ifeyinwa that makes sense.

You’re saying the name wrong! It’s not “Eer-mes” It’s “Air-mes”
