Hello from the ever lovely city of lights where I'm currently unable to sleep. So, I'm thinking about my trip to Hermes tomorrow and what I should ask for. What should I get next? I think I really want blue. I'm obsessed with BOX, and definitely want gold hardware for this one.
My current H inventory (in case it's helpful) consists of 1 35 black birkinwith PH togo , 1 35 Gold birkin clemence with GH , 1 30 orange swift with PH birkin and 1 black box kelly with GH (listed in order of acquistion). I love them all, but use them differently. Black and Gold 35s are my work and travel bags (winter and summer colors). The orange is my weekend bag because it's less big and heavy though I sometimes feel the orange is too bright/flashy for me, so I think my next 30 cm birkin bag should be more subtle/neutral. I love my kelly, but use it rarely as it's more dressy (Sellier, box), harder to get in an out of, and I worry about the box getting wet.
I think I want another 30 (though I like the look of a 35 birkin better proportion wise on my 5'7" frame, the 30 holds everything I need for a weekend bag). I really want box, but since I worry more about my swift birkin's durability, think I should go for something less fragile. My weekends can involve time at playground and sticky fingered little ones, so dark and durable is probably best. But box is lighter, right? which would be good...so maybe I could do a 35 in a (a darkish shade of ) blue box leather, will it be lighter than my togo/clemence bags? or maybe I should get a 30 in togo. Would love a contrast piping/interior bag. Also toyed with the idea of a bigger, more casual kelly, but then I'll still have the getting in/getting out issue. I quite like the trims, too, but I don't love them as I do birkins and kellys, and while they are less expensive, nicely discrete, and allow for hands free, I think I'm only going to feel I got my H money's worth if I get a Birkin or Kelly.
suggestions welcome. sorry to ramble. especially when the H gods at FSH will no doubt determine my fate for me (but I've been lucky enough to get to order my gold birkin and BBK, both times I knew exactly what I wanted, so hope I may get lucky again and be able to order, but I'll need to know what to ask for!) thank you!
