Hi H Lovers!

I'm a new face around here and know absolutely nothing about Hermes. The only H bags I know are the Kelly and Birkin. I could only dream of having a Birkin of my own, but at the moment I just want to taste the experience of owning an H bag without compromising my financial stability.

I am currently on a Luxury Goods BAN (until further notice). However I do have a few bonds that are maturing sometimes next year. Using a fraction of the interest I'm going to get (let's say US$3000), which Hermes bag could I buy?

I'd like something with a shoulder strap and handle. Normal messenger size would be fine............... I guess with only US$3000 available I couldn't specify the kind of material I'd want - lol.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

xx

Oooooh the TIBET Messenger bag. I had my eye on this for a while but went a whole different direction and started buying smaller bags. It's gorgy... and well under 3k USD!

Mind you, I am not advertising this seller (who is btw 1000% always authentic) merely showing you the bag I mean. Absolutely smashing and very stylish! :tup:

OMG, that bag is absolutely hot! Thanks for your advice. TOo bad it has already been sold! I was already searching the "BUY" button (ready to break my bag ban), lol.

How much would the Tibet messenger retail for in store?
 
LoL I am soooooo sorry, I should've been much clearer about that, that was an old link from when *I* almost bought it too! :Push: hehe

I love the Bienventura. FABULOUS. Although for a first Hermes bag, all leather is intoxicating. Although the BV has BArenia trim... mmmm Barenia :P
 
I love this thread, as I have the same thoughts as the OP. I have already looked at the picotin and the evelyne but I have to have a lined bag and it has to be leather. Also when I get to the store I'm always disappointed with the bags somehow, compared to how they look in pictures, so I always endup in LV.

But I REALLY like that besace messenger in white. DIdn't know it existed. :drool: I thought a kelly 40 or a birkin would be my last chance of appreciating Hermes bags (as the other ones I've seen never appealed to me =-/ including HAC), but maybe I'll grab one of these instead. :graucho:
 
I have the perfect one in mind
the victoria tote gm or pm (I dunno if those are the correct names)
one is hand-held and the other is both hand held and over the shoulder
they are lined^^

The Tibet goes for over $5k in store. I believe the Buenaventura is in the $1300- $1500 range (and also comes in black). My personal favorite is the Evelyne TGM2, which goes for $2,450 USD and has an outside pocket the regular TGM does not (come to think of it I'm not sure that H even sells the pocket-less version anymore). There's also the smaller (but still sizable) GM model, which may work better for you if you're on the shorter side because the TGM is HUGE. Here's a graphite GM and black TGM for reference:
