Your first Hermes item

I happened to be reading this thread and looks like no one has replied. Will try to help, 16 years ago when I had purchased my first bag, an Evelyne, and joined to learn more, it felt overwhelming. So first, :flowers: Welcome to the world of Hermes and to tpf! May you enjoy it all for many years. You are off to a great start, beautiful bag and a great website. Have fun exploring it.

To identify your leather, you want to post your Birkin’s picture and ask your questions on the “Please help identify leather, color, and design” thread.

Sign in to the purse blog.

Click on “purseforum” as you did to get where you are now.

Next step: in the Forum menu list, select “Premier Designers”

Select “Hermes”

Scroll down and select “Please help identify leather,
color and design”

The screen shot gives you an example.

Enjoy !

OT, but I must say that the genuine kindness and helpfulness with which you responded to this other member is so nice to see! Love the energy.:heart:

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle thread

Maybe Charles will get a percentage of every sale that comes from the royal site.

I am disappointed but not surprised by the web site going overboard to show support.
I think in their case Charles will make a matching contribution. For every banana sold, he will give them an extra 50 cents.

It appears that the photos posted on the royal website were previously approved by TW.

Chanel Spring/Summer 2024 Act 2 (24S)

I got invited today, both red and pink changes colors depends on lighting. Some lights red looks more strawberry and yellow lighting it looks orange red. Pink more baby pink, romantic pink whatever you wanna call it. Bottom left pic is with flash and right with out flash but under yellow lighting. Both minis are pretty! We seen similar shades but not the same exact color but very similar done by chanel in the past but back then I was into jumbos and mediums. Pink I thought is a good neutral not white but it’s very pale pink. Check it out in person you may love it or hate it ha ha ha….
Is the red one a picture you took? I love the red!!

Help me pick - Hermes Della Cavalleria

She finally arrived and I have to say she is a chameleon. Love the subtle green but so neutral as well and the GHW complements the leather quite well. And better yet, she fits all my essentials for a mini bag. Coincidentally, I was able to score a Gold Calvi duo on H.com at the same time so guess that’s the best of both world for me, first Vert Maquis and first Gold pieces. Thank you everyone for your vote and input ;)

Stunning bag! Congrats! I love the color, and I’m so happy for you! :smile:

What Other Jewelry Brands Do You Buy/Wear?

I am excited to add another ring to my collection. Just purchased the serpenti ring from Bulgari. The store service was excellent. The SAs made my family feel very comfortable in the store and I did not were not feel pressured to make decisions (SA brought multiple sizes in for me to try).
The SA also gave me a snake dish and a snake stuffed animal. My daughter put the toy on my arm and claimed I now have a matching bracelet haha. Annoyed I did not buy the wg diamond serpenti bracelet 2 years ago when I tried it. It is now double the price. Bulgari is also having a price increase here in April.
I will wear this ring with my noeud on other hand and with my matching Rolex. Thought I would share pics as I have not seen this ring often.
congratulations on such an unique ring, beautiful design and craftsmanship. Hope you get the bracelet soon!

Coach Rehab and Rescue Club

Do you have a dehumidifier or home central air conditioning or an air conditioning unit in the area where you keep your bags?
No. Most homes in this area do not have A/C. Never needed it! But, the world is getting warmer, and newer homes do. I don't! I'm re-thinking my set up for rehabbed bags storage. My hubby had the idea that I should package for shipping right after listing an item for sale. For most bags, that's probably OK, but not for these ones I dunked. It might be several months to a year before I sell a given bag!! I think I'll make a separate storage area for those special rehabbed bags that I intend to sell. I like the idea of a pillow case. I got these (I think) cotton, maybe linen, drawstring storage bags from Amazon. Maybe those. I'll have to figure out how to label them to find a specific bag easily. And stick my dessicant gel packets in there! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N21KKYN

If you can only get 1 Hermes Kelly bag ever, which one would it be (size, leather, hardware, color combi) and why?

There are many questions you need answer before any advice can be relevant to you.
You need to understand why you want a Kelly.
Is it as a decoration or an ornament in your room?
Are you going to use it as a bag?
Would that be to carry a few items when going out to lunch?
Would it be a work bag?
Would it matter to you if it co-ordinated with your clothes?
Do you want it to shout its presence?
Does it matter if it is proportional to your size?

Yes, of course, that was a list if snarky questions.
But they show that almost ant recommendation could be wrong.

It's easy to understand the general desire to own a Kelly. They are very covetable.
But when you start to make the steps towards ownership, you need more idea of why you want one.
Can you see that your question is like asking for advice on buying a car.
There are just as many options: a sedan; a convertible; a jeep; a people carrier.
I need to think about these questions each and every time I go shopping . Thank you :smile:

p.s. in 2008, I joined TPF with the idea that I would only own one Hermes bag, a preloved, BBK 28, ghw. lol

What Handbag/Purse Are You Carrying Today?!

I want to try something from Hammitt too. For the longest time I thought I might try the Daniel. What style is this?
The only thing it said on the tag is B pop but on the Hammitt website it is called Evan. I almost got the black because the leather was softer but I decided I didn't need another black bag and this one held its shape better, which makes it look nice when carrying. Maybe this one will soften up to be as soft. It's soft, just not as amazingly soft as the black was.

Brushed Finish Love Bracelet

I bought my brushed Love last September to stack with my small Love and there has been zero issues with it. Bracelet is firmly on my arm, no loose screws and I have worn it 24/7 ever since I bought it. Also looks brand new. No scratches or marks to mar its brushed surface. I don’t baby it too much, just wear a soft band on them when I garden or workout, but otherwise they are uncovered.

Would you mind sharing some mod shots?
