I need HELP! So I finally started really thinking about purses and now I am addicted to Hermès. It started with a layover at the airport 2 months ago. It led to an innocent step into an H store, a red lipstick purchase. 2 weeks later, I’m daydreaming Hermès then my first bag, a HerBag was purchased.

Next was a Chanel flap purse last week. Yesterday, a birkin 35, and today a bright yellow Kelly 28.

A part of me is saying, I’m just setting my collection up and no more purse purchases for the next 5 years because I have all the categories I need (casual, work, dressy, and statement pieces) I am so scarred that I won’t hold off. Any advice on being disciplined?

The best accessory for all black is....black. The other colors will work, too, although Chocolat with black is kind of a personal call.
I have two black Bs (30 and 35) which get worn a LOT, and I could easily use a third. Neither is exotic, but both are "wow" in my humble world :smile:

Edited to add a photo of a "nothing is wow" black Birkin 30 ;)

I completely agree! I was in the same boat with you. My first choice was etain and got offered Etoupe - and am soooo happy about it and just the lighter shade overall! When I see etain now - while it's still beautiful, it doesn't make my heart sing anymore lol.

Exactly! After I got etoupe I thought I would need etain ASAP as my second one, but TBH I just don't!

Lifers, When Will You be Done With Hermes?

I absolutely love (and mostly only like) the chunky and statement jewelry. My favorite gold piece is the large full Parade bracelet in rose gold that was especially made for me. My favorite necklace is my silver tie Etcetera, which I don’t wear too often due to it being 500+ grams, but...

There's a Pandemic raging I live in London and am very scared and yet this forum makes me forget all that and allows me to fantasise and escape.. And..(I feel guilty admitting this!) I recently brought my first 'proper' H pre-loved bag and I'm obsessing about buying another in a darker colour...

they didn't say they were all new from Boutique..
reading between the lines it sounds like the Herbag was but the others could well have been brought 2nd hand or from re-sellers
