Happy New Year, everyone!
I am considering purchasing a pre-loved Black Epi Alma PM size and am torn between the GWH or the SHW.
I am rapidly approaching my mid-50’s and “classics” can sometimes look a bit frumpy if they are not styled correctly. I know the Alma style bag is a classic…. But do you think the GHW is currant or out of date? Or do you think SHW is still the most relevant in 2023?
I used to own and was absolutely SMITTEN with an H boxcalf birkin with GHW because the GHW and that smooth leather was positively drool-worthy and didn’t scream “old lady” when I was dressed quite chic. I no longer own that bag but am trying to get a bag that gave me that similar feeling: being up to date and chic but classic and elegant at the same time.
I wear all color jewelry, so this isn’t a huge issue. My hair naturally was auburn had gold highlights, but now I am older I am more silver and the overall color of my hair has cooled considerably the past few years and will continue to do so. My wardrobe consists mainly of navy and white with some grey and black pieces, and then pops of color (aqua, teal, and bright clear pinks). No earth-tones for me…. But I do love a caramel colored bag for that “pop” against navy. Finally, my style is mostly classic/minimalist with some modern twists (asymmetrical hems and zippers like Rick Owens, etc.). Not too edgy, but more classic and elegant, if that makes sense.
Any thoughts??
Thanks so much.

At our age group, ghw was what our mothers may have worn.
