Like a few of the ladies here I started my collection with new bags and now find myself veering towards older style Hermes bags. I follow the Doc's cleaning instructions and as I got to be hands on with my bags I started to notice and appreciate leather quality, construction and stitching that seems to come with older styles. I also like the history and story that comes with older bags.
Both are eBay finds and I can't believe how lucky I was to get them both.
1. Sac Sandrine. Rouge H box/cream toile and GHW. It even came with the original Hermes sales tag from 1979 - carries an I in a circle and is so immaculate I feel like I have woken up a sleeping beauty!
2. Black box pochette with belt. I always seem to arrive at passport control laden like a Tibetan pack horse and clueless to when and where I last saw my passport. Here is my life saver. Holds my phone, passport and lipstick and I will always know where it is - around my waist. That is the theory and will be tested on route to Barbados next week! I have seen this style in Barenia and Courcheval but never box and certainly never lined in box too.
