accept that it's part of your bag now. it just adds more character and a bit of history on how you got that scratch. it's not like it became less beautiful. it's just a tiny scratch
I agree !!! When a new bag gets its first sign of "wear", like a scratch, I flip out. Then after a few days, I actually don't mind it. Now that my bag is "broken in", it's no longer so precious, and I'm finally comfortable using it in everyday life :idea:
 
On what I think is an early version of a browser a tiny thumbnail of a koala showed up. Every time I opened it, there was the koala. Now, if you keep showing me pictures of something I don't have, sooner or later I'll want it. After a couple of years of looking at the koala, I suddenly couldn't live without that thumbnail koala. After a decade or so the browser folks sent me a message to put a thumbnail picture of me in place of the koala (in other words, modernize). I have no intention of doing that. The koala is too adorable to leave behind. The koala below are so fluffy looking. I've heard their fur is very soft. They are certainly the ultimate cuddle animal. I am just wowed by how Mother Nature could create a real "teddy bear" in the wild.

Awwwwe i see! Thank you!
You are right! So cute and fluffy! I imagine they feel like chinchilla?
Other than their fur i have irresistible urges to boop their noses

BOOP!

Hi guys! I need your help on deciding my next quota bag. I own a K28, Constance 23 vintage, a B25. Shall I ask for a mini kelly II next? I love mini bags, but honestly afraid that it is too small because there’s no way for me to try it. on the other hand I feel like I Have a good enough mix already, I don’t need a B30 in my life, and I don’t need a k25 because I own a 28 and it’s not that different, therefore a mini K would be a great addition. Ugh what a great dillema to have :p

@Bagsbags18 If you can hang on to your funds (always my problem) and not buy anything for the sake of buying something (again, my problem), when you come across a purse that strikes you like lightening, you'll be ready. This is early in the season. H might come out with something new for Xmas. Now, if you get the mini-kelly (those are very cool, or get a belt bag) and you like it, well, that's ok, too.
 
This question has troubled me all week as I know @PrayersandPurses is a new member and I can’t believe no one here, including me, knew the answer to chime in. I could’ve sworn I saw that somewhere!

And now I saw it again! It was just on an influencer’s instagram account. They say it’ll be the In the Loop bag, for AW22. I don’t see any other articles or runway pics of it though. Looks gorgeous to me!! The Picotin fans will love this.

I wonder if anyone has encountered this situation or anyone has some advise. I have become aware that a store manager at H, ‘limits’ for a lack of a better word what her SA’s offer to clients, and the reason for that is because she sells them to a ‘thirdi party vendor” this is really disheartening and completely unethical. Thank you
 
Hi all. I am not a regular Hermes shopper (or poster!) so forgive me if this is not the right thread. I have only purchased silks and shoes at Hermes boutiques, but I do own a Kelly 25 retourne in what I believe is Togo leather (I bought years ago at an estate auction). I rarely used it for years because it didn’t feel like my style. But this summer I realized that I LOVE its look and functionality when it is winged out. My question: is there a reason not to wing out a Kelly? Am I ruining the bag’s leather or frame or sangles? I get that Birkins are worn this way, but I already have this Kelly, plus I like the crossbody strap. Thank you for any advice or warnings!
 
Hi all… a QQ.. for a non expert owner of Hermes bags (like myself), I struggle to identify the types of leather and names of the color of the bags, some of which I purchased a long time ago. I kept all the boxes but not the receipts which I regret, and I cannot find the descriptions anywhere on the box or the bag itself! Any advise, tricks and tips? Thanks!
It is most annoying but receipts fade over time. It's impossible to read a faded receipt. I think many merchants use cheap cash register ink, and that's just life. If you buy on-line, this is somewhat less of a problem b/c printer inks, while not perfect, do retain retail info for a longer time. It's probably a good idea to have a notebook or pages where you record purchase detail.

I like H bracelets and one of the last I got was a real chunky one, puffy but solid silver anchor links, very heavy to wear. It looked out of place with the rest of my H bracelets. I was able to sell it b/c I had a receipt to prove that it was an H bracelet. Plus, the prospective buyer was reassured it was genuine by a SA who happened to recognize it. It is almost never shown on-line so all that helped. Also it clearly looked like something a man would wear.
