Halzan being discontinued

[maxroxxherhandbags]

Today I was chatting to my SA and admired a Halzan on the display and happened to mention it was still on my radar and hoped for a 31.
He then informed me the Halzan is being discontinued
I'm really sad about this as its a really practical under the radar bag with the option for cross body as well as hand carry, an option which not that many H bag designs offer.
My SA also laughed and said I was the only person he'd met who also lamented the fact that Birkin 35 and above is no longer produced in Swift (I declined bothering to make a 'wish' when I found out my prefered choice a 35 or 40 in swift was no longer produced).
Is anyone else sad to hear about the demise of the Halzan?

Noooo! I just put a Halzan on my wishlist following for more info... It looks like such a great travel bag.

I’m so surprised to hear this news!! I have a Halzan 31 and a mini and they are hands-down my most used H bags. Great for travel and every day, and in my city, completely under the radar. I hope you get yours before they’re retired!

I was told last year that the 31 was already discontinued and only 25s were available. I bought a 25 and love it, and would have bought a 31 if it had been an option. It's like a ladylike messenger, which is a surprisingly difficult combination to nail.

I love the 31 Halzan, have two (noir and toffee), and they are my most used bags on weekends and when I travel for leisure. I am disappointed that they are discontinuing them; I am a huge fan of their practicality.

I thought they brought the 31 back temporarily? I saw it on display in a few stores over the last 6 months. This is incredibly disappointing! It’s such a useful bag.

I hope this isn't true!! Have been patiently awaiting a Halzan for the last few months...

What a shame--the Halzan is one cool bag. It and the roulis are, to me, better than the more-popular Constance.

Nooooo! I had hoped it would be my next bag. I had waited for a bigger Halzan (35) but I guess it’s now over.

ETA: Swift was offered as SO for B35 last year. Maybe that’s your segue into an SO?

Dang! I just placed Halzan 31 in my wishlist last year.

Although I never had one because it sadly did not seem right for me, it struck me from the first as being an imaginative addition to the range introducing something new and fresh without a gimmick like a latch.
A bag that would join the QB Trinity or become a classic like the Evelyne, Bolide, Garden Party, Herbag and Double Sens.

I think that you have summed up why I felt the Halzan was a welcome addition to the Hermes bag offering...
Its original in its design, versatile and most importantly free from gimmick.
I find too many of the offerings now have very obvious hardware and I for one prefer designs like the Massai, Gao, White Bus,Paris Bombay, Colorado, and Initiale where there is no obvious hardware.
For me personally Hermes best designs are all about the leather, hardware is minimal or non existant..
Back on topic:
I knew the Halzan was being discontinued in the 31 so hearing the 25 is discontinued too was a suprise.

I feel exactly the same way. I wish Hermes would read tpf to see how many of its customers feel about certain aspects of the brand and its designs.

I recently became a halzan fan and love my 25 for travel. My store told me last year they were stop ordering it and sad to see it discontinued. I think part of the problem is h pushing ppl to either quota or starter bags. I secretly hoped h would make a size 28 since i think that would be the perfect size for travel.

I feel Hermes are pushing the della cavalleria and geta quite strongly.
Interestingly in London at least I've never seen the arcon on display or in the wild, which is another one of the newer bag offerings,
I've seen the hac a dos on display however and a couple in the wild.
