My heart stops every time I see this bag. Sigh.
Me too! And I’ve only seen it for all of 30 seconds now! Y’all are a terrible influence...
There are a few lesser known Hermes styles I would consider, but I hate the game they play. The last time I looked, I was the customer, not my sales associate.
I won't buy a bag just because it screams "status". And I certainly won't pay $20k for a bag. (or $85k in croc or ostrich) So that leaves me out of the Hermes game unless I buy one of the garden totes or "le totes" at some point.

Beware...you say this now, but I can’t tell you how many people say this, and then proceed to find plenty they want when they are on the search for the next bag! Lol. The bags become more interesting at the next SAS sale.....

Exactly. The only time I’ve been in a store was over a year ago, and surprisingly enough I was actually dressed well enough that they gave me the time of day. They had a Lindy in hand, but of course I couldn’t actually buy THAT bag. (Apparently my money wasn’t coated in the proper thickness of platinum that day.) The SA did take my information and preferences (I’m guessing she was bored) and I did end up buying a little scarf, but I’m not holding my breath that I’ll ever hear back from them. I keep drooling over that style online, but I honestly don’t know if I could spend 15K+ on a bag in good conscience. I mean good lord, we spent less than a fifth of that on the car I drive for work!
I used to feel that way about ebay. Now I'm up to about $400. I feel comfortable on ebay because they always side with the buyer.
Hermes doesn't do much for me. If I did buy Hermes, it would be one of the less popular styles anyone could get. I don't like super structured bags like Birkin or Kelly.
I know, I’ve never quite understood their popularity either...
I like the lindy.
I do not like elitist status games. NO bag is worth over $10k to me. My lifestyle is not one of the "rich and famous" and I would be projecting an image that is false by carrying such a bag. The most I ever spent for a bag was $5000 and I am not sure I would ever do that again. It was at the height of the "it bag" craze and I bought a large chanel boy bag with crazy studs all over it. I ended up selling because I never used it. Because it was a rarer style I broke even, but I don't think I have the stamina to try that again lol. 
lol! I promise I am not trying to harass you, lol! I won't name names, but I know there have been others in the past on a buying spree, and then say, well, I don't see anything I like for this upcoming season--and then guess what happens? Well, they liked some bags after all, and the cycle continues.You are the voice in my head.
As handbag addicts, there are so many habits and cycles for us all
I always say part of the reason I can see it, is because I have been there too. Even if it was a smaller scale, I have been through a lot of them, and I am still a work in progress!I never liked the Birkin and even if I were a billionaire I wouldn't buy that bag. I would end up buying a tote bag of some sort and there is no point in getting that from Hermes when Dior, and many other European brands have really nice tote styles with shoulder straps at a lower price point.
I agree, I think ebay feels the safest of the sites for me, and I also almost always get a great bag. I have a few exceptions, but really not many. And I do like that it is safe/easy to deal with. For example, I bought a bag recently that didn't match the pics even though the seller promised it did beforehand, so I was able to do a return without much drama.
Hahahaha, It’s not very nice of me, but I have to admit that I’d like to see our insurance agent’s face when I explained to him we needed to add a rider on to cover my stupid expensive purse...
I understand and know you mean well. I should slow down and will probably but I did not expect to see THAT bag on FOS as it is one I have lusted after since finding the 1941 line. I think I am a bit puzzled by people's aversion to spending that much on this particular bag but will buy three or four $400+ rogues at a whack. Which is the same to me? I don't want 4 bags that I sorta like when I can have one I might love. Does that make sense? This is not meant to put a damper on anyone's purchase. It's all good though and I hope everyone loves their finds.lol! I promise I am not trying to harass you, lol!
