I was at a museum on the weekend and came across this.. I nerded out on the fact that I've heard of this before, as one of H's new orange colours in 2023, which is orange minium. I love how H names their colours!

Here in France, Orange Minium is a paint primer color that you'd see, say, in industrial construction. Kind of the way girders in the US are often painted red, or the way cast iron gets a gray primer.
 
Hi all i finally got a birkin 25 in GHW today. I'm finding it really strange though. The colour of the hardware varies slightly throughout the bag. The feet and zipper is the same gold colour which is a slightly different shade of gold than the hardware on the front of the bag. Has anyone got the same experience? This is not a special order bag.

Here are some photos to show the different shade of gold. This is my first GHW bag so I'm just not sure what to expect. Would really really appreciate it if others could share pictures of their GHW birkins especially if the colour is slightly different too

Anyone else see the pony dance video from Hermes? Pretty funny. Don’t think it was meant to be funny though! Not sure what they were going for here...But it reminds me of Gangnam Style LOL! :lol: I can't seem to attach the video here, but I got a H marketing email today and the subject was The Riders' Dance and it was in the email.
 
Thank you! I only got the keychain since I had just bought an Evelyne PM online and I'm not super wealthy (yet, haha). I made sure to ask my SA about both items but she said she didn't have any, so I bought them where I could. I don't think I have the funds to shop at both so maybe I should ask my SA about another item I want when I come in to try on shoes I want. If she's not able because of stock issues I can head to the uptown one and stick with them. The SA up there made sure to give me a number since they didn't have cards made yet (very very new). I love that store.
If your main want is better inventory and a grandeur shopping environment, move to Madison. If your main want is a QB stick to your current store.

If you don’t have the funds it *may* take to get a QB from Madison and you’re already $7K in your boutique, you should stay put.

Are the stickers off the feet?
Thank you for replying! I just removed them and the colour is looking closer now but still a different shade of gold. The front of bag is a much much warmer gold compared to the zipper and feet. Does anyone else have this experience and can share some photos? I just want to make sure it's not normal before I take it back to the store.

The gold hardware on my Birkin (which I've had for over a year now) looks just like this - with the lock/keys and front hardware being a slightly brighter shade than the feet and inner zipper. All of the stickers have been removed - I took them off after 1 week to avoid tarnishing from the sticker glue. IMO this is not a defect or a mistake; also these are areas of the bag that aren't really visible with daily use (really, the feet are designed to keep the bottom of the bag elevated off of surfaces), so I personally don't pay attention to them. In fact, I never checked until I saw this post.

I see no reason to return the bag, unless there is another issue?

This is it exactly! I love the Madison store and did not expect it to be so amazing. I like to go after work or on my lunch break when I am in the office once a week and browse. I really want a quota bag though, so it's like I am stuck. I spoke to an SA at madison randomly and she told me not to switch stores totally unprompted actually. She said there was so much big spending at that store. They do have a lot of accessories available, but the wait for bags will long.

Hello! I'm torn betweet the Kelly retourne 32 and the 35. I've always loved the 32 but I've found a big deal for a 35 and the more I see photos online the more I fall in love with the size. I'm 5.6 and in a few months I'll become a mom so I need a big bag. I have a chanel jumbo and I know a lot of people think is a big big big bag but I really love it on my body. So maybe a Kelly 35 won't be too huge too? Help me :flowers:

The feet look like permabrass. I saw a related discussion (re: hardware on the feet do not match the bag's hardware, elsewhere) in the SO thread (I know you mentioned yours is not): https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/hermes-special-order-bags.797364/post-35491395
 
Thank you for sharing your test drive of the Herbag 39! I appreciate all the details that you included. I was thinking of using it as workbag too. Based on your review (and that we are about the same height), I definitely have to try it on before buying because of the non-crossbody strap and the width.
Hello there

I actually picked up the herbag messenger and I’m a guy at 174cm and able to wear the bag crossbody but in the back.
It is thinner than the regular her bag and has a nice profile.
Zipped back pocket is pretty large and can fit a lot. It can probably fit an iPad mini easily along with wallet and phone too.
Main compartment can fit a laptop 15” laptop and it still has space for more.
Loving it so far!
