**Hermes Chat**

I promise I looked to see if this was covered. I used the knowledge of this lovely community to remove a slight stain from my Hermes scarf. I am a little obsessed in reusing original packaging. I am trying to fold my scarf to fit back in original box without success. Any suggestions? I just got it back from cleaners. They were unable to remove stain but I did!!!

Would love to repackage correctly.

If it’s a 90cm, you can fold it in half horizontally twice and then vertically twice, and then it should fit perfectly in its box.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

@Jktgal post about H being the brand of choice for corruption brings me to a picture I’ve been wanting to share but not sure on what context. Now I do: I wonder if the active reselling is also a sign of the bags turning into cash. This is a screen grab from the IG of a trusted Indonesian reseller. While trusted, I can’t comment on the authenticity of all displayed as I have not had any experience with them.

On a side note: seeing so many H bags of the same type in different colours give me a strange feeling.

Yup better stocked than H FSH, @Helventara

Definitely H items (bags et al) are some sort of currency for bribery, money laundering, tax evasion, etc - very liquid, appreciate in value even, not too bulky (imagine bringing IDR200million in cash), etc.

Here's a recent case involving bribery in South Africa and Indonesia: "SAP and its employees bribed government officials in those countries with cash, political donations, luxury goods and shopping sprees, the Justice Department said in a release."

I hope this is fine to post here…tell me why wsj writes an article about luxury hand me downs are now worth billions of dollars?!

My dh sends me the article. I play stupid and say oh I can’t read it. He rattles off a few sentences and summarizes it for me.

I adore my dh and he just knows I have a lot of purses and things. He doesn’t know the names, the cost and details. Thanks wsj for ratting me out and using a picture of the Birkin. I’m sure he recognizes it now in my closet.🫢🫣

Bag lovers beware!!! 😛

Hi ladies and gents, is there any thread I can read about box leather? I’m just wondering how durable it is and if it’s easy to get at boutique? You guys like box leather? Thanks!

DH now knows how much H, Gucci, Chanel etc. cost. No more waltzing in with my shopping bags and saying "oh, these? I only spent [insert the amount a fraction of the actual cost]...."

Omg. Out of the BLUE this morning my husband looked at my vintage C18 (which I’ve owned for 2.5 years) and says “when did you get that HERMES bag? Is that a Birkin?”

He has never in his life commented on any bag or clothes I wear other than to say if he thinks I look cute (and btw I wore this bag literally every day on our trip to Paris last year with zero comment from him).

What is going on?!?
