Me too pocketbook pup, I'll be there in November , I love going there by that time, I [emoji173]️ strolling in champs elysse and drink hot [emoji485] enjoy looking at the Christmas window display in printemps ... hoping we get our wishlist ... good luck !!
REALLY cool and special bag, PbP!
I haven't tried the Sephora one because I don't like going to Sephora stores (they are always so so packed, at least the ones in NYC get crazy...) so have little experience with the brand. I love lipsticks and they are the ultimate pick me up when I just want to get something small, so have amassed a collection of them and have tried many brands they stock at BG and Barneys.
For most of the brands, they have different formulas, so even if one doesn't work for you another might. There are certain lines I avoid within a brand and others that I really enjoy.
I think the fall scarves will arrive around December.
Question about this.... how long does Hermes usually give you to decide if you want to take a bag or not? Both my B and K were ones I ended up saying yes right away. My K I was in shock by since it was so unexpected, I had just bought an Evelyne three weeks prior. My heart stopped as I saw the handle of my K come out while my SA unboxed her for me.
PocketbookPup, I have a rouge H Roulis in sombrero...I use it a lot and love it! The matte finish is lovely and I think this leather shows the color so well. I am careful in general but the little marks just end up blending in.
Kate, that sounds like a gorgeous bag! Have you treated it at all? I tried a mini Roulis and I loved it but it was too dressy for me in black with permabrass. I wish they had a perfect small messenger bag in between the casualness of the Evelyn and the dressiness of the Roulis and Constance. I didn't love the mini Halzan. I regret not getting a Massai cut, I think that was a good choice.PocketbookPup, I have a rouge H Roulis in sombrero...I use it a lot and love it!

Thanks for the info, Kate. It's good to know that it will wear well. I don't mind a patina. It gives it character.
I was impressed by the way the sombrero took the color. The Epsom and sombrero were pretty much an exact match. The Clemence is just a shade brighter on the sides. I know that a lot of people are down on rouge h because some of the leathers take on more of a brown tone. It almost dissuaded me from asking for rouge h despite my attraction to it. It seems to all depend on the leather. I wore my box bracelet and my swift belt to compare the tones. They are all nice but the swift seems the most brownish of the leathers. Everything else seemed fine. I'll do some comparison photos in good light when she arrives this week.
It's currently rested but you see them for resale. The cut was available in swift about 5 years ago but my store never got in a color to interest me although I tried it and loved the bag. I like the Massai too but it's a bit of a bottomless pit for what I hear and probably too large for my needs. Fabulous bag though, I think it's from the Margiela years.Do they not make the Maasai any more? I love that bag and the trim and thought that one might make a nice addition to my collection at some point. I agree there is a need for something medium casual.
Hysterical! It's like the horse headed waiters at the Hermes events in the past!I wanted to share this with you guys. I wasn't sure how DH would feel about the new Kelly. When I got home from work that day I was pleasantly surprised to see that he was taking it all in stride, he bought this at the Halloween store. He was wearing it when he greeted me at the door.

Dharma, I put some DocRide stuff on it but that is all....I consider it tailored casual, rouge H with permabrass...I live in such a casual place and use it a lot with jeans. These bags are so classic they can fit with various styles I think.Kate, that sounds like a gorgeous bag! Have you treated it at all?

I dreamt of your bag all night! Are you considering the charcoal Dallet shawl? I know there is no rouge in it but to me it's the perfect balance and right mood. As for being "down on" rouge H, no way. Only "down with" rouge H, always. I love it!!!

PBP,your DH gave me a big smile for the morning!
Doc Ride was at our first LV meetup and gave us a lesson using her basic handbag spa kit, that is what I used....her things are available on line.I'm just learning about the doc ride products. Is there a specific product that I should look for?
DH never fails to make me laugh. Glad he gave you a smile too.
