Agree with @ajaxbreaker's suggestion to use a twillon, but instead of tying at the top of each stirrup, thread it through the small space between the bottom of the stirrup and the top of the leather tab that holds the stirrup. That should allow you to knot each end of the twillon and avoid it from slipping. A bag insert would help with the slouchiness. I use inserts from MaiTai Collection and Samorga in a variety of my H bags and have been really pleased with both. Good luck in finding solutions to allow you to wear this unique and fun bag more regularly.

Has anyone seen the new Petit-H Silk Bracelets? Just ordered one at our visit to the store this morning, can't wait to see it in person!

Oooohhhh - I love plisse scarves, but I have never seen a plisse bracelet before! This makes me hope that we will see plisse scarves again! Did you get to select your bracelet color? Hope you love it !!
I didn't get to select the color since it's Petit-H and it's a surprise, but I don't think I'll like it any less no matter which one I get! I'm quite excited about it, it looks so fun =)
I forgot to upload a pic of my bracelet, it arrived last week...love it so much I just ordered another (altho hoping it comes in a less-challenging-to-coordinate color):
I’m considering one of the cashmere capes that came up yesterday, but am worried about color...might order two and keep the one I like. Has anyone done this with Petit H? Are returns easy? I’d be ordering mine through our SA in person...

FWIW our SA confirmed today that Petit-H items from the web ordered through him can still be returned via the website for a refund, or to the store for store credit...in case anyone was curious.
I ended up ordering two capes so I can keep the color I like. Turns out there’s two models, one with Alligator and one with Crocodile on the strap. I ordered the last two Alligator. Not sure how many of the Crocodile are left, but hope someone here is able to snag one before the “personal shoppers” at “buyma” get them all and mark them up (there’s a ton on pre-order there)!
It’s actually a very good deal at $2000 for a full Cashmere Hermès cape with an exotic skin clasp... normally their cashmere capes and ponchos retail for quite a bit more ($2500-$6000).

Wow so cute, great buy!!!
How cute! We were curious about these, but wondered about the reusability... Adorable though!
The capes arrived, as well as my second bracelet. One cape is Black with a Red Alligator clasp (somewhere in the Braise/Rouge Casaque/Vermillion range, and Craie calf on the backside) and the other is Navy with a Dark Green Alligator Clasp (Vert Anglais/Vert/Vert Fonce range and Black calf on the backside). I'm keeping the Navy since I already have enough black outerwear and with the red clasp quite frankly leans a little "Dracula" (according to my husband LOL). It's a bit long, so I'm going to see if the in-house tailor at the store can take it up an inch or two.
The price makes more sense now, the Cashmere is noticeably thinner than the other Cashmere Ponchos/Capes I've tried at Hermès, but I actually like that...San Francisco's weather is mild and frequently changing and a light outer layer is usually all you need. I tried it on with the boots (of course), but forgive my tired looking face...you can see both the unseasonably hot weather AND my long workday just shining through, LOL! Also attached pics of the silk bracelets; another TPF member on the scarf identification thread kindly helped me with the pattern name on the new one. The Orange is a limited edition "Les Cles" from the early 2000's and the blue is "Eperon d'Or Bandana" which is recent (still on H.com, but not available). The silk bracelets can also be flipped...makes them like 2-in-1!
Love it all!! How big do the bracelets stretch? I’m also a guy but my wrists are quite large.
Thank you! I think you can do it! My wrists are a bit over 7" and I have a Large Toolbox Cuff Bracelet in size T5, which the website says is for wrists up to 7.3" and the Silk Bracelets both fit me well. I suspect my wrist could be 8" or more and I'd still be fine wearing them. I know H bracelets are hard for bigger/taller guys because they all seem to come in microscopic sizes, but this would definitely be a safe bet =)
For some other points of reference: my ring finger is a T62 (or US size 9, I think) and the Hermes double-tour Apple Watch band for the larger watch fits me...just (last notch).
