Can minimalism and Hermes go together?

Very interesting thread! Thanks for starting op. Like others have said there are different types of minimalism but imo a minimalist when it comes to purchases is someone who has identified what’s essential and has decided to eliminate the rest. I don’t think with true minimalism it’s possible to keep buying anywhere esp when it’s luxury. I wish there was another word out there for those who don’t necessarily want to live like monks (jk) :lol: but strive to be more selective and live the simple life.

I think simply by the fact I have been an h client a while, items I would like to add are fewer in number. Price increases have certainly lead me to be more selective but also the desire to live a clutter free life. i don’t want the person who administers my estate to have deal with so much stuff one day when I’m gone. Crime is up so where am I really going to wear/ use this stuff and some of it just so loud.

When I buy from h these days I keep in mind what would be nice to add to my collection that is missing. If I already have enough scarves in one cw then I will look at another cw unless the design is something really unique and really captures my heart. I also look over what I own and see if there’s anything I’m not using or not enough or has been overused and needs replacing before I pull the trigger on a purchase. For example after buying some Jewelry I decided to rehome other jewelry because I wasn’t really wearing it, grew out of love for it and having this item felt like clutter.
 
Not sure if this was more tongue in cheek, but my husband stashes all of ours in the attic. I don't want to look at them, but I don't want to get rid of them.

Solved! :supacool:
Lucky you to have the attic. I wish I had one, too. Ha :)

I chop them into smaller pieces so I could put them in the cardboard recycling bin. :biggrin:

How dare you!:panic: LOL. But, I do love my orange boxes.... Awww.. Such a struggle/dilemma... :lol:
