Hello all, my friend have recently bought a Birkin bag at Hermes Bern and unfortunately she left the receipt in the tax refund envelope and have since sent it off, so she is without one now.

She's wondering what's the best thing for her to do. Whether to contact the store directly (which could be quite inconvenient as we're now in Australia) and ask for a reprint for the receipt or whether we should just go to the local Sydney Hermes store and ask for the bag to be authenticated and get a proof of authenticity statement of some sort?

Finally, does anyone know whether a Birkin without a receipt makes any difference in terms of getting 'warranty' and future refurbishments? I guess Hermes is able to identify everything about the bag (which craftsman made it, when etc) without the receipt.

Thank you all for your advice!
