Are the plastics on still?
If the plastic are still on
Likely it oxidised and spoil the hw
I heard not to keep plastic on hardware from my SA as over time it can damage the metal.
I have noticed with PHW it tarnishes like silver. I just use a silver polishing cloth and rub out the tarnishes. Hope that helps! Your bag looks gorgeous from what I can see in the pic, do you mind posting a full bag shot Thanks
That happened to the shoulder clips on one of my straps, and the spa removed it rather quickly. Good luck and congrats on a gorgeous-color combo!
It looks like the plastic is still on the hardware. You need to take them off and use a high quality metal polish like Autosol and buff them with a soft cloth. Hopefully the metal is not yet pitted and a good polish will make that look good as new
There is an old thread about this somewhere. About 13 or more years ago, there were some Birkins with palladium that tarnished easily. Some people sent their bags back to Hermes and Hermes replaced the hardware. I have a couple of these bags and I just polish the hardware with
Nerv-Dull. It is annoying to have to polish, but I did not feel like returning my bags. After polishing, the hardware does tarnish again and must be polished again.
Your bag looks newer, so they must have another bad batch of palladium.

Here are the long awaited photos of my Kelly 42 (Maxi Kelly). She is a new bag for 2023. I have a feeling she is going to grow a a lot in popularity with larger bags becoming more popular. She has a canvas strap that adds that extra cool factor to her. So far I've been loving using her whether it be for caring my work computer or for carrying my daughter's things as I can always fit what I need in addition to. Another question for you guys. I haven't totally removed my hardware stickers. I was wondering if you guys have seen oxidation w/ not removing the stickers on palladium early enough.After reading through this forum I decided to give Madison a try as I felt discouraged with my <1k spend at DC. I wanted to share my 1st time experience with the Madison Hermes boutique for those hopping to try it for a wishlist/quota bag. I was offered a Kelly 42 Nior palladium Togo(also known as maxi Kelly) during a walk in leather appointment. All the staff were phenomenal. Definitely helps to be flexible and have a little idea of what is/or not high demand before walking in.
