susanvon, I vote for the Trim II with the zipper. While I admire the sleek look of the Trim I, I just feel it isn't as practical.
Advice most appreciated....

I can get on your wave length here. I only carry Hermes and love them all. No style is perfect in every way as an every day bag. There is always a compromise.
The Bolide has become my default bag. Mou and rigid Bolides are so different and I like both. They seem to solve all the problems posed by other Hermes bags....IMO.
Hope you get past this, as I think you do love Hermes.

I hear ya. I just wish H would put us out of out misery and make a Birkin 32. I would love the HAC 32 if the handles were longer.
Having said that, I really dont mind the B35 except how heavy it can get. I was carrying a Kelly32 today and even that was heavy so maybe its not H; its me and I carry too much stuff?
Yes I agree that a Birkin 32 would probably be perfect for me as well! I am 5'1 so a 35 looks very big on me...
I understand...and feel your pain. There are times...I'll start out taking a bag...come home after a few errands and change. It's just too heavy. Too much of a pain.
I am glad I have gotten such honest answers--at least I know its not just me being indecisive,nuts etc etc..........
Hermesaholic, i understand your pain, i am currently also in similar situation. I need to reduce my H bags and i would like only to keep the 'real practical' ones....
from my collection i love most the kelly 35, it fits a ton, still lightweight and looks just fine with every outfit...as a second, i am still stuggling between the etoupe lindy-fabulous color, a bit too sporty design- and the trim II. 35 black...for dressy/evening bag i keep a non-H croc clutch...

I adore that bag!
What is it w/ me and ostrich lately...
But I digress...
Hermesaholic, I definitely understand where you're coming from. I felt that way a couple minutes ago - until I spotted my birkin...
Just wait a bit and see if H produces anything sings to you. At these price points, you don't want to force the issue, KWIM? The bag will appear, trust me!
That's AuthenticLux's beautiful trim II 31. We have to track down some Trims so that you can give them a try!So True. I think my bag contains all those tiny cute Hermes products (so colorful) and I never use them when I leave the house. I can go out to a party with a small Kelly clutch and have room for all I really need.
I was wearing A 35 cm Kelly today, weighed a ton. All I needed was a lipstick, tiny comb, credit card, a few dollars in cash and my driver's license, cell phone. I had my agenda, huge half empty wallet, a cute Ostrich note pad with 2 pens, 4 credit card holders with cards from SA from Hermes,etc. I think many of us do this to some extent, load up our bags. Mine tends to becoming a filing cabinet. It is a flaw of mine to hoard in all areas. I realize that I just make more work for myself but continue anyway. I wish I could par down. I do this when cleaning out closets, start off with good intentions and give up and keep things I'll never wear anymore, some have tags still on them, don't fit and no longer age appropriate (fuschia tights). I also need to reduce my stash of Hermes bags but just keep adding more.
