Hermes Cafe Bon Temps~Good Times Cafe

[Keren16]

Kelly, Dalvy, and Plume are my favorites!!! Don't have a Plume yet. I love the simple, classic lines. I AM BORING!!

I was at the Hermes boutique earlier this week. I love to talk to my SA. Her handbag choices are pretty classic. She is in her 30's, acts her age, and knowledgeable. The bags she admires are not necessarily the current "it" ones. Can you imagine being surrounded by Hermes the entire day? I can. It may give perspective.
So momasaurus, I do not think you are boring at all. You just have good taste[emoji4]

On vacations, I pre-negotiate a day apart if I can swing it. DBF usually has to catch up with work, so I find him a brew pub or bar near where I want to shop and check in on him every couple of hours, meet up for lunch/drink etc.

He loathes shopping, so I try not to inflict it upon him unless absolutely necessary.

I find the different couples dynamics fascinating. When we are in vacation DH and i never separate. We just compromise, with a fair share of things I like to do vs things he likes to do. I am fortunate that he does not mind coming along when i shop. He has his assigned spots in each store, where he patiently waits or from which he comments on my choices. I do the same for him when he does what he likes.

To me, part of the joy of traveling is sharing the experience with someone i love. I hardly ever enjoy sightseeing by myself. I used to travel for work and i would never take extra days for sightseeing the various locations. If they looked interesting enough to visit, i'd want to go back with DH.

We're all different and we're all equally right in our approach to life. It is beautiful

Do you patronize the H in the Design District? I think you said you did? In a way I am surrounded by H all day in terms of the number of times I imagine having or acquiring an H goodie. Somebody told me SA's get a free HS -- their pick -- each season. Well, that's a start . . .

That's the Hermes I shop at. The way of surrounding yourself with Hermes is best!
Lots of wonderful choices at great prices[emoji106]
I do not understand what HS is. Sorry. Can you tell me?

HS = hermes scarf. There are lots of abbreviations I don't know, either.

Thank you, Keren. It is especially fun to carry a Dalvy into the boutique and see who recognizes it. Some of the SAs admit to never having seen one!

I am pretty sure they have scarves to use while at work in the store, and they can choose what they wanted from a pool.

I know the SAs are allowed to choose one scarf per season as a perq of the job. My SA sometimes discusses her decision process with me.

I think that I have some bags that were created about the time that some of the SA were born.

I thought all are given scarves periodically. I do not know if they have a choice. I really like the little bags they wear.

Also at workshops & certain events.

Re: traveling alone, I love it. I actually don't like traveling with other people since I like having the freedom to plan my day however I want it and do and see whatever I want to do, leave somewhere when I get bored, etc. I'm not really a big fan of the typical tourist attractions and activities but instead like using vacations as a way to almost see what it would be like to live in another city. I like to try new restaurants and cafes, do some shopping, walk around and people watch...

I agree completely Kyokei. I love traveling alone. I can do whatever I want whenever I want. My work involves heavy conversations all day so sometimes I just want to vegetate and not have to hold a conversation. I just want to walk, clear my lungs, take time to eat and drink and watch the people and scenery go by. Maybe it's because I was single until I was 40. Or maybe that's why I was single so long. I enjoy my alone time.

Work was very busy this week, but my vacation is fast approaching. I'm very excited. The last of my shawl purchases for the season arrived today just in time to pack for my trip.

I am single and prefer it that way for similar reasons. I have always been an independent person and value my alone time immensely. Eating, drinking, and enjoying the scenery without having to worry about someone else and consider their preferences is a true vacation for me.
