I have been attracted to this model since it was launched back in 2018. But as indecisive as I am, I needed time before my first purchase. Then it became too late, they were nowhere to find, except canvas version on Hermès.fr. I literally toured through Europe but no luck.

on a recent trip to New York, I got my first 24/24 35 in Rebag world trade centre. The price was reasonable so I bought it right on the spot. Several days later, in an auction in Milan, I managed to grab a size 29 at a good hammer price. So here I am, suddenly from zero 24/24 to double 24/24. Life works in a mysterious way.

I love its slightly bohemian vibe too. But not so much under the radar anymore. Judging how hard it was to get one in H boutique.

definitely difficult to get one from the boutique. My husband purchased mine as a birthday gift and he wasn’t sure. The SA even said take it home and if I don’t love it he can return and it will without a doubt sell immediately. I kept the bag ! Mine is in the rouge colour as above but now I’m after a black or gold one too. Let’s see how long that journey takes !
 
Actually I do have a question. Why is the shoulder belt sometimes doubled, sometimes in canvas and sometimes just simple classic leather belt?

I have never seen this doubled shoulder strap before on a 24/24 size 29. But maybe the other TPFers can chime in?

i personally purchased a 24/24 size 29 from boutiques early this year (was offered two colour choices and chose one). For both options which I tried in stores, it was a simple thin shoulder strap.
 
May I ask how do you usually wear it? I purchased it and wanted to wear as cross body but found it looks the best as top handle.

wear casually as crossbody or just on the shoulder. I have a baby so hands free works better for me.

I prefer this over the Kelly as I find this strap longer and it’s smaller than a 25 but not too small to pack a load of stuff.

Top handle use is when I’m going somewhere smarter. But it does look nice either way.

Lovely and I really like your ring and necklace too.
 
I've recently started to consider a 24/24 in 29 (thanks to @tinkerbell68 looking so damn cool with hers) as an alternative to a Birkin (which I feel is now too 'recognisable' for my aesthetic)
I must ask those who own it, is it easy to get in and out of?
And I'm finding it tough finding one in black with GHW, I dont have a preference for hardware in K or B because to my mind the hardware is less of a statement on those.
But with the 24/24 the hardware is so big that the gold looks too bling against the black for my personal taste...am I correct in thinking that few were made in black with PHW???
 
Aw thanks, @maxroxxherhandbags :blush:

Things I love about my 24/24 35:
  • I love the contrast of the swift leather with the clemence
  • I love that I can fit my laptop in it so it works as a work bag
  • It seems slightly under the radar and less likely to draw attention...not that I really care TBH
Things that I don't:
  • It is a little challenging to get in and out of...the clasp definitely has some marks on it due to the number of times I've fiddled to get the plate over the turn key
  • the 35 does not have a strap so the only way to carry it is by hand. I don't hate that but it does contribute to the challenge above.
Would I buy it again? Yes in a heart beat!
 
Thank you @tinkerbell68 and @Build-a-B-K-collection
Actually I mistakenly put I was seeking a black with GHW its actually black with PHW that I'm after and don't seem to see many on the pre-loved market (where I'm looking to buy)
Were the blacks mainly made with GHW?
Also would you say its a pretty durable bag? I'm not precious with my bags and I want something I can just use without fear of damage.
I would assume the Swift flap must get scratched up but how about the handles?
are they ok ?
Its so hard because they never have any in the boutique to try so I'm trying to guesstimate how it will work/look on me (I think I'll go for a 29 due to the strap option)

I love your whole look and the vibe of the 24/24 in size 35. You look amazing!
