Presumably not genuine

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and the additional photos.

It is a beautiful handbag. 

However after having examined the photos very carefully we have come to the conclusion that it is not an original Hermès handbag.
We have examined the leather, the goldwork and the stitches on the photos and the quality is not quite the usual high Hermès quality of leatherworks, goldwork and stitches. The wrinkles on the backside of the bag would not be seen on an original Hermès handbag, the stitches are made in a colour that is not entirely the same as the leather and again this is not seen on an authentic Hermès handbag.
The way the handbag is marked on the inside is not the typical way that Hermès marks their bags. These are some of the points we have taken into account when determining the authenticity of this handbag.
The sentimental value it represents to you will be much higher than the market value.
I am very sorry for the unfortunate news. 
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help. 
Thank you

Hello, I have attached a better image of the Hermes logo on the inside flap. It does not say Made in France anywhere but I noticed it says Hermes on the underside of the gold clasp I have tried to take a good picture of this.
