Description bluesmart Store Up for sale is the  IT-bag by Dior Homme currently as hyped all over the world through numerous add campaigns etc. Not much to say about that one as every serious Dior Homme fan knows this bag and everybody wants it. This bag is so hot, even Hedi Slimane himself uses it for shooting his famous rock star photos (see pic!). So you know this must be one of THE BEST Dior Homme items as Hedi is known for hardly ever wearing much Dior Homme but prefers true vintage classics instead. He even refuses to wear the Dior Homme watches he designed himself and prefers a classic vintage Rolex. So you know: If Hedi ever actually wears a Dior Homme item, it must be a special one.The leather of this bag is just gorgeous! Deep silver coloured washed very soft lamb leather. There are quite a few outside pockets and silver vintage finished (darkened) hardware. The later one is all marked Dior Homme (see pics). Comes with a silver removable wool tassle also marked Dior Homme, which alone sells for 160 USD. Brand new with tags and authenticity card, never worn. Comes in its own XL grey Dior sack. Tag says AGNC1292 AGN N0.Measures  48x22x21cm.This bag currently sells for 1,250 EUR (=1,975 USD) on the Dior Homme online store (see pic 6) so you can get yourself a great deal especially considering that Dior never put these classic bags on sale.The big german newspaper DIE WELT (comparable to NY Times) has just recently picked this exact Deville bag by Hedi Slimane as number two of the ten best bags for the modern man (see pic 7). Here is the link: http://besten.welt.de/dior+homme+deville+bagAnd here is a translation of what they wrote on this bag: With his styling for Dior Homme, Hedi Slimane formed the fashion image of the modern man in the past few years.  His style was as meticioulsy transformed for bags, leather goods and accessoires just the same. For seven years, Hedi Slimane formed as head designer of Dior Homme the style and he silhouette of an entire generation: skinny legs and tight jackets. In March this year, Slimane spectacularly left Dior Homme. Now he is working eclecticly as a photographer, artist, curator and furniture designer. His inspirations he found in London's underground scene of London an the music of Franz Ferndinand, Babyshambles and the like with Pete Doherty as one of his icons of style. The style and codes discovered there, he transformed glamourously into his clothes designs as well as into luxurious accessories and bag collections. The Deville Bag in silver dyed lambs leather is the essence of Slimane's style with numerous zippers, tassles and inner as well as outher pockets. It is also available in black or white leahter. And before the last designs of Slimane are vanishing from the stores, one should definately snatch one of these last iconic pieces.This is the original design of Hedi Slimane (see also the article of the WELT newspaper linked in my listing) and was designed by him in 2006 for FW 2006/2007. Originally they only made this in black washed leather and later on for SS 07, which was Hedi's last summer collection for DH, silver , gold, dk. brown and white were added. These colors and leather types were designed by Hedi Slimane as well and are basically the same palette as on the first Duffle he designed for Dior Homme around 2005. This exact duffle in silver has been shot by Hedi Slimane in July 2006 for the SS 2007 DH ad campaign and is now presented in Hedi's fashion diary. See the last pic in this listing before the Paypal logos as well as here: http://www.hedislimane.com/fashiondiary/index.php?id=28 THis pic also shows nicely how this bag can be worn like a rucksack but with a much cooler look than a rucksack. Great and very versatile design! This listing is for one silver Deville bag as pictured.  But I also have the following two different messenger bag variations from the same collection, made of the same leather and with the same silver hardware. They are inspired by the Dior Homme leather jackets. Let me know if you want any of these and I will list them on Ebay for you:1.) Silver shopping bag/tote bag from the Deville series made of the same silver washed leather. Same as on the last two pics before the Paypal logo but silver instead of black leather. USD 1.4002.) Deville bag same as listed here but in white washed leather instead of silver leather USD 1250: see my old ebay listing 190240086136 for more pics and details:DIOR HOMME Deville white leather duffle - The IT bag! PAYMENT TERMS: Wire bank transfer to my USD account in NYC, USA or to my EUR account in Germany.

Paypal is also possible but acceptance is subject to certain conditions. It also involves higher shipping costs (see below) and is only accepted from verified buyers with confirmed shipping addresses and/or a credible long time ebay feedback history. Due to hightened security problems at Paypal, I reserve the right to accept and refuse Paypal on a case-by-case basis on my sole discretion and depending on the aforementioned factors. So please ask before you bid if your only payment option is Paypal. Anyways, I think I offer a lot of very attractive other payment methods which a lot of buyer have used before. Payment is due to be sent immediately after auction end. Don't bid if you cannot pay.  SHIPPING TERMS: Will be shipped from Germany. I will work with the buyer on the different shipping and payment options etc. Let me know if you have any questions. Shipping anywhere in the world if you do not pay by paypal: USD 25 surface mail or USD 50 airmail. This is registered mail and includes USD 45 insurance. Shipping anywhere in the world if you do pay by paypal: USD 85. The reason for this is that I ship from Germany and the standard German postal service does not meet the requirements of the Paypal rules so I need to use a different shipping service which is a lot more expensive . Full insurance available for addtl. 35 USD. Buyer assumes all risk of loss and/or damage after I gave the item to the mail service. Buyer agrees that he will not make a claim for non receipt with Ebay, Paypal or anybody else if I show him written proof of item shipped to him. In case of loss and/or damage I will however return any insurance paid to me by the shipper to the buyer. Payment is due immediately after auction end. Don't bid if you cannot pay. AUTHENTICITY STATEMENT:I am not a  dealer, I am only very much into fashion and an extreme fan/addict of Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane and as such a collector of his beautiful fashion/couture items. I, therefore, buy and sell only for and from my private collection. I often buy Dior Homme items for the mere joy of owning these works of fashion art or out of a buyers impulse. So often my items are not used and  sometimes they are hardly used and sometimes they are used more. This is always clearly described in the auction listing.  What applies to all my listings, however, is that all my Dior Homme items are 100% authentic Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane. This is backed by a 200% money back guarantee. Back a year ago it was not necessary to explicitly guarantee that because there were hardly any Dior Homme fakes to be found. This,unfortunately, has changed a lot recently with multiple spam listings of fake DH t-shirts, sweaters and jeans from Hongkong/China appearing on Ebay.  I sold quite a few  Dior Homme items from my collection and only had happy buyers, most of them being die-hard Dior Homme addicts like me who, like me, would never even think of even touching a fake DH piece. My feedback rating speaks by itself, so bid with confidence and feel free to ask whatever you want to know about the item's condition.Please see those two very educating Ebay Guides on how to avoid buying fake Dior Homme items on Ebay:http://reviews.ebay.com/Dior-Homme-fakes-How-to-avoid-buying-DH-fakes-on-Ebay_W0QQugidZ10000000002352312http://reviews.ebay.com/Sellers-of-fake-Dior-Homme_W0QQugidZ10000000002357491       Japanese Buyer Assistant Place a Bid!
