This product(The vinyl kelly bags) was sold at Mitsukoshi department store in Fukuoka, and it did not associate with dust bag or box either unlike regular merchandise because this was sold as the exhibition souvenir product held in the only selected department stores in Japan in 1997. (The orange clear vinyl kelly was sold in 1998.)
So, the quantity was also limited.
Therefore, this item cannot be treated as a regular merchandise at any of the Hermes stores worldwide.
They WILL NOT accept for its repair either.
