Hermes Vintage K28 Rouge Casaque

You're welcome!

I think if you want a pop colour, then the bright red would give you that. RH is very versatile, I have a couple of bags in this colour and it goes with so many things. RH tends to have a brownish undertone to my eyes, I love it so as it's the classic Hermes colour and because for me, it is a neutral.

Maybe think about if you bought a bag in another colour and then the Rouge H of your dreams came along but you could no longer make it happen...How would you feel?
You are right! Thank you for the insight, I feel that if I rushed my decision now and didn’t stick to my original plan, something came up later on I will definitely be very regretful with buyer’s remorse :(
Fashionfile's website states Rouge Casque was introduced in 2012. I don't think this would be your birth year?
If the bag they're selling is listed as RC then you should ask them about this.
You are awesome! Thank you so much for the info, I did reach out the FP about the color and they admit it was a mistake. The bag was Rouge Vif. It got sold however shortly after they fixed the color code. Definitely not meant to be :)
If you prefer Rouge H, I would wait for it. And black and etoupe are great classics too. I'm sure you will find your perfect bag.

Sounds like you have decided to pass on the RC bag. FYI I have an Evelyn TPM in rouge casaque togo and I find it too bright even in such a small bag. But I prefer more neutral bags in general.
Agree! I feel that bright red definitely requires some great confidence to wear. I might enjoy looking at it but would hesitant to wear it out as a daily bag. Will be more of a special occasion bag to me.

Sorry everyone for the delay in responding. Work has been hectic. My search continues on for this dream bag 😊

Artois GM-airplane friendly?

Me!!! I have it and I LOVE it. It is very very large and as such holds a TON. I have used for airplane travel many times since I got it I have never had an issue putting it under the seat infront of me on both domestic us flights and international flights. It is a true gem and I highly highly recommend it!!
Thank you so much, thats all I needed to hear, will def get it now :)

Cartier exhibition in London V&A

I live in the US, and I booked a flight in August to hop across the pond to see this exhibition.
The V&A has a lot of great exhibitions (e.g. Pearls, Faberge), and before I go, I like to buy the exhibition book to review the pieces first. I can then have a better appreciation and understanding of the pieces when I see them live.

In case anyone is interested in doing this and does not live in the UK to buy the exhibition book at the museum, you can order it on amazon:


Also, as FYI, if you are a V&A member, you can see the exhibition for free, unlimited times, no reservation required. I am a member, and it makes getting into these exhibitions so much easier. It works out great.

Hope this helps.

Marvelous March 2025 Purchases

Welcome my new NeoNoe bb in guimauve epi. :biggrin: Couldn’t believe 24s has this for $300 (US) less than the current canvas option! Surprisingly the strap is perfect for me to wear crossbody (yup, shortie here at 4’11” on a good day:lol:), and the color is a perfect neutral for spring and summer. I’m so excited to add this second epi bag to my collection (epi makes my heart sing!). Seems like the perfect size for my usual items plus a small bottle of water (or champagne ;)). My trip back to Ban Island is waaay overdue but I just couldn’t resist. Happy weekend everyone!
Omg I LOOOVE :) May I ask where you purchased?! I’m trying to find on site!!

Appointment online or with SA for resizing pick-up?

I'm a little further from my boutique. Technically, it could be a 35-40 minute drive but, it is downtown, so always quite variable. Then there is parking and walking a couple of short blocks. When I was getting started with VCA, I thought I would try out an alternate suburban location but, it is much smaller and even harder to get appointments when I was looking.

Help Choosing My Next Everyday Bag

Keep us posted on what you decide! I’m trying to make my mind up on a new everyday bag as well. Love the look of Chanel 25, but not sure if it’s too big!
I ended up going with the Chanel 25 in small caviar, and I love it! It’s actually not too big at all—just the right size for everyday essentials without feeling overwhelming. I’m 5’0”, and it fits my frame really well. I tried on the medium first, but it felt too big for me, so the small was the perfect choice. If you’re considering it, I’d definitely recommend trying it on in person to see how it feels for you!

Vintage Chanel flap in beige and GHW. Series 1

Hi ladies! It’s been awhile since I purchased a Chanel and this vintage baby caught my eye at a preloved showcase in Tokyo.

I only know that it’s a series 1 but no idea of its name and all. Grateful if anyone can shed light on this baby and how do you care for your beige / lighter coloured Chanels? Im usually dressed in darker colours like black and navy and am a little panaroid about colour transfers.

Thank you!

Boucle Bucket Bag in Natural Smooth Calfskin Reveal

I love this bag. Saint Laurent needs new styles like this. I’ve been a long time customer, but after the cassandre clutch I got like 10? years ago, I haven’t bought anything else as all the bag look similar.

There were different styles released every years before the SL era.

Too many logos.

The YSL logo is actually one I like stylistically, but agree it's getting a bit overdone when it seems many of the new designs are simply plain bags with the logo screwed on them. I saw the Icare in real life for the first time recently and couldn't believe how massive the logo was!

I was thinking, though, if I ever found a YSL keyfob or charm preloved at a good price I would get it for my bucket, though the metal would probably scratch the leather.
