Yes! I’ve seen it both this year and last year.
How is it different to the previous blue jean?Yes! I’ve seen it both this year and last year.
It must be so pretty on a birkin!Yes! I’ve seen it both this year and last year.
I believe the main difference is that the dye formulation has been changed from the old formula. The leather/bag offerings are slightly different too.
Today I had a fun and unexpected bonding moment with another Hermes fan. 😊 I brought my new Evelyne to an appt with an orthopedic surgeon, mostly to cheer myself up as I’ve been dreading it. It was tucked away next to me, the H facing in, but when we walked to the X ray room the nurse leaned over and said she loved my style and loved the bag. When we got there she told me she has a pink Birkin from years ago, which led to a longer conversation about Hermes, bags, jewelry, and both of us admitting we’d love a Kelly but lamenting that it won’t be easy. Definitely added some fun to an otherwise not great morning!
I love starting conversation with other Hermes owners @MacawGuy - isn’t it great fun?
I usually find Kelly and picotin owners tne friendliest. ( mini Kelly owners are a different category, that sometimes look up themselves when you try to talk to them. ) Evie owners usually super friendly too. Vintage owners are the best though- I sometimes want to invite them round for lunch. 😃

This is interesting. I used to get excited when meeting fellow owners but two incidents stopped me from making compliments or comments:I love starting conversation with other Hermes owners @MacawGuy - isn’t it great fun?

1. I swim in public pool and we don’t have dedicated, secured lockers. So we just hang our bags on hooks in the changing room. I complimented a lady with a mini Evie there and she PROMPTLY hid her bag behind her jacket
2. As I get closer to compliment someone on their bag, I realize it’s fake. It makes me think: what if I go ahead and compliment? Would that make the person uncomfortable?
Once I was in Asia, I went up the elevator and a lady carrying a B was on the other side, going down. Instead of smiling knowingly, she gave me side eyes and looked me up and down. I was too slow to mimic her
I stare and stalk instead of initiating conversations nowadays
My experience is clearly not as positive.
Hope you are okay @MacawGuy
I don’t really strike up conversations in public anymore. But, I might if in a closed environment like an office or gallery
I'm with you. I have had too many people photograph my bag surreptitiously (I am always afraid I will end up in Wildlife, I think I did once) or stare rudely. If you want to stare because you like the bag, give a compliment instead, and if you want to photograph me or my bag DEFINITELY say hello (or be extra good at sneaky photos).This is interesting.

I have also stopped complimenting others' bags as most often the response is snobby (I do not think I "fit the profile" LOL). Once in a while I will still say "I love your bag", but only if I am carrying a bag at least as nice
🤣 Yes exactly!Once in a while I will still say "I love your bag", but only if I am carrying a bag at least as nice

. I rarely if ever say anything in public and then only if I’m carrying H as well. I complimented a fellow passenger on her MK on a flight recently, but I wouldn’t have done so had I not been carrying my K Flat and had I not hoped to learn what shade of green it was (I suggested Malachite and she wasn’t sure but thought so too).
