Besides Fjord, Vache Hunter, and the ones mentioned by @allanrvj, there is also Galop d’Hermès. And Ardennes is actually Vachette, so it is calfskin.
You also might consider looking into some of the Buffalo leather options.
For those that have the Oran Sandals, are they extremely comfortable? I would say my feet are on the wider side and didn't think they would be something that would work for be, but I saw these denim ones and am obsessed...
I personally find that they cause blisters on the inner part of my foot (where the bottom of the “H” leather is) if I walk in them for more than 1 mile. I have heard this can be addressed by applying kinesiology tape to the affected spot, which I plan to try when the weather gets warmer.
I have wide feet. As in I cannot fit my feet into many designer shoes and order my chuck taylors in a wide. I find orans ok. I can get my feet into them. They aren’t horrible to walk in. I would definitely not wear them to walk a city for a day. But out to dinner. Sure. I think they are super cute. They definitely flop just like a flip flop which is a bit of a detractor for me. I have not reached the level of “use my nice things” where I’m wearing Orans to the pool as a flip flop.
I think that the smoother leather (sorry I am a newbie and don’t know the names) is maybe softer and more comfy than the epsom (?) which may be stiffer and harder to break in? Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.
Edit: and yes those denims are so stinking cute.
Thank you for your input--I feel the same way; I wouldn't wear these to the beach or pool.
I feel better about trying them on at the store now!
It's still in production! Possibly more rare atm as smaller bags have been so in fashion, but definitely around.
It's interesting to hear how people who said how much they love Hermes all of a sudden say I'm so glad finally someone is sueing them for their shady practices. lol
Picked up my repaired watch band from the store in NY today. Their service couldn’t have been smoother.
Hahaha that thread is like a car wreck but I can’t seem to put it on ignore 😁
Not sure why it’s hard to comprehend the demand and supply:
- H sells (perceived or genuine) premium products, (mostly or not, depending on belief) hand-made or hand-stiched. So production is slow and supply low.
- If H is to flood the market to keep up with demand, the premium is reduced.
- If H keeps low supply, distribution might be uneven.
- No perfectly fair anything in the world so those who don’t get bags will be anyhow disappointed.
- Take part in this, or not, everyone has a choice.
ETA: we all love the bags for its durability and quality. Yet, we want 10 of them and everyone needs to have them from the store. Not gatekeeping but I don’t know how that would work. Someone is bound to be unhappy somehow
