**Hermes Chat**

[eagle1002us]

Hi is there a thread for Hermes SA recommendations? I did a search but didn’t find anything I remember there being one before? Tia

Not that I know of. People have asked those who went to Paris (this is a thread under Hermes Shopping section at the top of the list of Hermes threads) if they could have access to their SA. The problem with that is that the SA may already have a full slate of clients so it could be an imposition on them. That's what I remember was the answer when the question came up.

If you read other sections of the Hermes Shopping threads, look for when someone says oh, my SA is wonderful and her name XYZ. Then if you want to go to that boutique you could request that SA. Either the SA will have a full client load already or there is room to add another client.

Just looking at this sleeping fat little dude makes me sleepy. When you sleep for 20 hrs. a day like koalas you get really good at it. you get really good at it.

@Crapples @maxroxxherhandbags hope it’s OK to pull you here as I don’t want to be OT in the other thread but thanks to your postings, I searched Margiela for H and man… am I 20 years too late

These are so ME! I cannot bring myself to buy a 2k printed dress or T shirt from H still but I would for sure buy these pieces. I know what you mean by pieces that make women feel strong and powerful which are sadly in short-supply these days.

Amid the ’90s nostalgia of 2017, no designer’s legacy is more pervasive than that of Martin Margiela.

I'm so happy that you can see what I see in the Margiela Hermes era!
even now nothing looks particularly dated and I feel that his designs epitomise chic but also the essence of my concept of Luxury which is something beautifully crafted from the best fabrics without need for gimmick.
The woman wears the clothes the clothes do not wear the woman.
There is actually a book available titled Margiela the Hermes years which you may enjoy...but then again it may make you feel a little sad as it does me that you missed out on owning some of his RTW designs.
I cringe a little every time I see a printed dress or sweatshirt masquerading as Hermes RTW 'design'..I almost wish they would just make T-shirts or Sweatshirts with 'Hermes' printed on them a'la Givenchy et al and be done with it!

Margiela the Hermes years

Ah… let me hunt it down. Even if I cannot have the real deal, I can find inspiration from the book. Thanks!

Find a tailor who is also into copying

Now THIS is what you call a 'koala train'

Keeper Eliza captured this incredible picture while cleaning out their home. We think the koalas were judging her to see if she was doing a good job

I saw this bi-color bag listed on a website - it's not a special order so I assume H made it this way. I was wondering if special orders can be made this way, with a color split down the front middle? I've only ever seen special orders on TPF and YouTube with the interior/exterior and sides different. Not that I'll ever be getting a special order... I'm just curious, and happen to like the look.

Yes, this is called the Casaque version. Starting this past fall, it was added to the SO menu for Birkins, however the color options are EXTREMELY limited to just these six blah colors.

Margeiela pulled me into Hermes, was a huge fan & loved his perspective so Hermes was a natural progression.

I have his two piece padded jacket with vest.
The two pieces have multiple uses. I actually thought Hermes was affordable as you got great quality & multiple ways to wear & look different. Great travel pieces!

Gorgeous bag, eye-catching yet subtle in the close colors making up the contrast. That means the bag will be less like to "date" over time. Really nice idea.
