We all know and love Moda Operandi as an exclusive website to pre-order runway looks before they ever hit stores, but the e-tailer offers more than you may realize. For one, it’s not a strict members-only club anymore; all shoppers are welcome. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, MO fleshes out its pre-sale schedule with some of the most gorgeous vintage around from time to time, and until April 3, that includes some of the most spectacular pre-owned and vintage Hermes Kelly 2 Double Tour Replica bags on the Internet.
The menthe green Hermes Kelly ($18500) up top is my easy favorite, but the sale includes everything from several not-so-basic black Birkins in a variety of leathers to a gorgeous aubergine crocodile Travel Birkin. Prefer pastels? There are also Birkins in white and rose dragee. Feeling rich? A custom-made black and graphite crocodile 35cm Birkin rings up at $98,000. Check out all of the bags in the sale after the jump, or get to shopping via Moda Operandi (no invitation required!)

Life back then was much easier. Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga were considered the “top” luggage to bliss- for and to possess, and well, too since these bag- adoring women were not yet going crazy over Hermes. Women back then had sticker shock when they find out the cost of a Hermes Kelly France Replica bag. And back then, Hermes bags were not even that easy to buy yet because stores in Manila understood nothing about the brand. I even remember teaching one reseller (who had been used to selling Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga bags) about Hermes birkins when we met in Rockwell Powerplant Mall since this person knew absolutely nothing about it in the moment. But hey, that stated, I’m definitely not the best Hermes resource person around– for the most complete information on Hermes, visit the Hermes boutique.I find it astounding that the brand which once had no existence in our nation, abruptly became the top bag manufacturer that lots of women aspired to own. The new had been introduced to me back in college (from the late 90s *don’t bother counting to understand my age please LOL*) by a Japanese classmate of mine that was in the time wearing a Hermes Kelly watch to class. This was the bag that I stared in within the Hermes store in one of the shopping excursions with my fellow international (Asian) students. And it was one of the bags I aspired to own one day when I receive my very own paycheck. At the moment, the birkin was priced under US$4,500.
