**Hermes Chat**

Ok. I knew what PurseBlog was but don't read it often. To be honest who cares what some random people on the PurseBlog thinks about H. My regular SMs from 2 stores in 2 countries haven't not contacted me for about 2 weeks now. All I got was at the beginning of the lockdown saying their stores would be closed until further notice. I doubt SAs would worry too much about keeping touch with clients right now. Keeping your and family health and safe would probably be higher on their priority list.

Agreed, which is why I didn't feel comfortable reaching out to my SA for it. I was merely asking to find out if anyone else had heard anything about the validity aside from the singular AFP report citing an internal memo prior to suggesting it be added to the article.

Don't sweat. We know a big prominent company like Hermes would not sit on their hands do nothing like this. Be rest assured also that they are continuing to pay their staff while stores are closed. Take care of yourself in this global crisis!

It is a freaking-out event. B/c I am retired I don't go out that much, I have hobbies. However, now that it's recommended to stay home I am suddenly bored out of my mind. Which is nuts. But considering the alternative -- being seriously ill -- I can live thru being bored out of my mind. I feel for you @hephephippo, as NYC is the epicenter of the virus at this time. It's just such a scary situation. Take care of yourself and be well.

How ya doin' @hephephippo?

Hi [mention]eagle1002us [/mention] and everyone ! Phew this pandemic and stay at home is really strange. I never imagined I'd be stuck at home like this. The news is just depressing and the politics or whatever reasonsthere are behind this annoying. In my local mom groups I see moms biting each other over staying home, paying nannies whioe not working, etc.

I also see so many complaints on the shortage of masks but then I also see so many masks being sold everywhere else -- makes you wonder why.

Pardon my rant. Stuck indoors can make one wonder and blabber. I keep thinking how this affects my baby who is missing out on being outdoors and possibly seeing his baby friends and music classes, etc. And is stuck indoors in NYC space. Sigh well I just hope this gets better asap for everyone's sake.

Here is an update, sounds very responsible and comprehensive. I just hope it’s not a bad taste April fool’s joke...

In short they are keeping all their staff on full salary Without resorting to government hand outs, ie tax payers. Thy are donating to hospitals, making masks and sanitisers. And foregoing some of their own bonuses.

Sorry for the duplicates of the two fur balls. BTW, all the pictures are from Pin Interest. I came across a comment from a source called "Australia" on Twitter. I'm not very familiar with Twitter, I couldn't find a date on the post. It said that Australia [the country] had rejected a proposal to safeguard koalas as iconic animals. Does anybody know if that is a recent action?

In 20min or so, I'm going to put on "Secrets of the Zoo: San Diego" for the koala moments.
Doing this koala stuff calms me down a little bit, I am so sick of pop-ups noting everyone who's passing from Corona. Very depressing.

I also want to have a Birkin in gold color, will I stick to that or better to have pop of color instead like the cactus? [emoji51]

Since you stated that you are somewhat new to buying Hermes, presumably you have bags from other designers.
Think about your current bags. Do you gravitate towards tote styles or shoulder strap styles? Do you tend to use your neutral colors more and prefer to have your clothing tones match with your bags, or do you like to have a contrast color? Do you like having multiple styles in the same color tone or do you like to have more color variety?
It does not sound like either of the bags your friend is offering you are perfect for you, because you are uncertain about them. You might first decide on exactly what you want, then you will know when it comes your way.
First, think about how large of a collection you want; do you want a smaller capsule collection or a larger collection eventually?
Start making a list of the categories you want to fill, either a hole in your collection or a current bag that you would replace with a Hermes bag. For example: 1) larger neutral tote - check 2) small/medium neutral shoulder bag- check 3) small pop color shoulder bag 4) medium pop color tote bag 5) small neutral cross body bag ...etc, filled out for your preferences.
If you want a new bag right now and are ok with the idea of possibly having a few superfluous bags in your collection down the road, then that’s fine too.

Hi there! Thanks for the much info/ideas you are giving me, such a big help to look at. Yes I have different bags with differents brands, but Hermes collection will be different from that, maybe I will choose what to let go with the different brands that I already have if I’m decided with how my H collection will be. I am just torn what to get first, coz we’ll never know later on if I still want to have just 2 each of Kelly & Birkin, sometimes you’ll not know if you’re done with it as long as you’re not there. For now, I want to add a B30 [emoji5] I am considering my friend’s offer because the combi is kinda nice to have, a pop of color will be nice and maybe will just have a B30 gold color later on if I still want one? ‍♀️ will show you the pic here [emoji5]

I think it would be a great bag to have. Make sure you love Epsom, if you’re not sure, read some threads on it. Pluses are that it is lightweight and stays structured over time, minuses are that it can get corner wear that shows up more/a bit harder to refurbish. I like Epsom for small bags more, but the lighter weight is wonderful since most other very light leathers are either retired or special order only for B or K.

 

[etoupebirkin]

My personal preference for Epsom bags is that they have resined edges like a Constance or a Rigide Kelly. I once had an Epsom 32 Retourne and that bag showed corner wear pretty quickly.
