Hermes Cafe Bon Temps~Good Times Cafe

I haven’t decided what I will do with it haha! A pf gf pointed out to me that noir is not gonna be very visible on my very noir bags lol! She has a point. But I still want it! I do think it’s a little big to use as actual key holder... I’ll have to find one first then see how it looks on my bags [emoji3]

I was the same, I just wanted them, and wasn't even sure how I'd use them! I think black on black could look gorgeous and elegant because of the textural difference. And it likely won't be your only one. A pop color Carmen would look beautiful against black, too!

Yes I was thinking I might like the understated-ness of black on black too... And yes, I suspect I will have a set of colorful SLGs after I am done with my noir set!
I've always loved the Carmens... even before I really liked H as a brand, the Carmen was the first thing I found really cute!

Speaking of rational decisions... I walked past my SG H store today, popped in and asked them to re-activate my global search for a duoCarmen in noir/noir... even if they cost more here. (they have tried once, a few months ago, and informed me they failed) I saw someone on IG get one recently, and am hoping it was from a H store and not resale...

I’m hoping to find this one too [emoji3] Good Luck[emoji256] Checking the European website frequently but I seldom see duoCarmens in neutral colours. Hoping I can find one in Paris.

About Carmens, I’ve collected 10 and happy with my collection. The only ones that could tempt me are fauve barenia and noir box but I don’t think they are in production.

I only use mine for keys but I change the Carmen very often depending on the bag I’m carrying or my mood.

My summerbag in bleu aztec is the only exception. I have two of these Carmens, got the other from a dear friend as a present, and at times I dress up the bag.

We had a snowstorm today and I took some pics when I walked to the office. No meetings so I could dress more casual but very weather appropriate [emoji3]

Wow! looks amazing! I've heard that kids in Finland go to school on skis from very early on Can you ski to your office?

Paris is actually really bad for SLGs! Especially neutrals! I hope you will be in the right place at the right time!

They made noir box carmens?! Would that be quite stiff?

I fully endorse having two sets of SLGs, black is elegant and classic, and then the colors are so vivid and beautiful, too hard to resist! Somehow I ended up with two sets!

Serva, good luck in your search for a duo! And when you mentioned your collection, I hoped you'd post a pic! Gorgeous!


Here are my two sets of SLGs, showing my Carmens in Rose Jaipur and Celeste.

Your taste in color is impeccable! Very inspiring!

Hi friends! Nice to see you in another venue! I'm having a special Hermes moment with the advent of my blue electric toolbox, so I thought I'd interrupt my regularly scheduled Chanel RTW channel to share over here.

This is my somewhat quirky H collection: a Whitebus, a Kelly depeche, and now the Toolbox. I'm not a big bag collector so a new bag is a big deal in my world.

Congrats @Karenaellen! I love BE in Swift! To me, it's the perfect leather for this vibrant color!

You have an amazing Carmen collection! I only have 2 now as I have no use for them either. But the soft lamb skin tassels are just so adorable!

What a lovely collection! The tool box is so cute! BE is an amazing colour and I have 2 bags in BE!

I have a question for you about the Carmen on your kelly, where you have it on the strap. Do you find the metal ring on the Carmen leaves marks on the strap?
