Luxury goods retailer Ginza Xiaoma has shared more details about the 66 Hermes handbags taken during a burglary at its Hong Kong store, with most of the stolen goods coming from the highly popular Kelly and Birkin lines.
The company also reiterated on Wednesday night that it had fully compensated clients who had entrusted their Hermes handbags to the store for resale, days after robbers made off with millions of dollars’ worth of items.
The goods stolen from the store at Central’s New World Tower include a Kelly 25 Epsom handbag with a market value of HK$198,000 (US$25,400), as well as a HK$168,000 Kelly 25 Togo and a HK$148,000 Birkin 25 Tadelakt. All three are brown.
“This sudden incident in Hong Kong’s prime business district has not only caused us great distress but has also attracted widespread public attention,” a spokesman said.
“Despite the sudden nature of the incident … within the same day, we completed 100 per cent full compensation for all affected clients, including lost and damaged goods.
“Regardless of the outcome of the police investigation or whether we can hold relevant parties accountable, we have always insisted on putting our clients’ interests first and ensuring their rights are protected as quickly as possible.”
