Update - the store got it back and repaired free of charge in about 2 weeks. Luckily we have another game in Brooklyn next week otherwise I’d have to have them mail it to Chicago.
It’s basically a thinner K25. If you wear it with the top folded down, it fits all my necessities, phone, card case, Bastia, plus sunglasses and an external battery pack. If you wear it handheld, it can fit more because it gains some height lol. And it has lots of little pockets! 2 patch pockets in the back and also the front. I tucked my valet ticket in the back pocket, which was handy. I’ll post some close up photos later in the halzan thread.
I love back pockets. Will the back pocket fit a phone?It’s basically a thinner K25.

Wow! Glad to hear that it didn't take 6 months for a screw LOL. Good to know that it was free of charge and only 2 weeks
I find it interesting that people will say …”oh Hermes isn’t a fashion brand”….”they’re not known for their jewelry”….
”Hermes only knows how to make leather goods”…. “Hermes doesn’t have a history of making watches”
Yet Celine was actually a children’s MTM shoe design house. Lol that’s not too bad. Only took less than 60 years for them completely erase that brand imprint. Whereas Hermes has been doing rtw, jewelry watches for almost a hundred years and it still gets flack for not being in their lane. Interesting…
Wonder why that is?

Maybe because for so long those métiers were such a small part of their revenue? Even now, I think that only a small percentage of their revenue is attributable to them, right? Amazing to think that less than 100 years ago, silks/scarves accounted for over 55% of their revenue.
You know what’s amazing? That with 1:1, 2:1 3:1+ spend, shouldn’t leather be much less than other metiers? I think right now it’s still half leather. And half everything else.
when we think of leather at H we shouldn't only think of bags. they have huge markup on other leather products such as SLGs, Apple Watch straps, and keychains. just imagine, 3 of those Oran charms can already buy you a decent handbag at LV (Noe BB, Speedy 30, etc).
not that their bags don't have insane markups. Volynka leather, for example, is only ￡26/sq ft, according to the tannery who makes it. Even if they are using 100 sq ft for a bag (which they don't because that's already the size of a room's floor), it doesn't explain that a Volynka Plume costs about EUR 10k.

Happy 3rd year anniversary of this announcement to those who celebrate! 
This is cool! Are they continuing the partnership?
vache naturelle
vache liegee
vache ardennes
but all of these leathers are not offered anymore, except for 1) vache naturelle which comes now as grained rather than smooth, and is very very rare, and 2) vache hunter which only comes now as trimmings for herbag
your best bet is preloved
