Hermès Petit H

[Cheddar Cheese]

Happy that the saga is over. Got the tape, I measured it and while it is slightly shorter than it should be - it appears to be new, but sadly the packing was all over the place again.... so I will just forget it and trust that everyone did the right thing.

Thanks for all your 'good vibes' along the way and I also got a newspaper - The Daily Knot (2021) so while a bit old - I will enjoy reading it!!

Have a great weekend!

So Sorry you have had these problems when you were expecting something else ScarfBloke!

However, turning lemons into lemonade, I bet a lot of other scarfies have also had a great laugh while reading your very well written story

I only H knew....

Hi guys! Love this thread but I’m wondering if anyone has picked up the
“ROUND TRAVEL SLEEPING MASK NOT
SLEEPY” and how they like it? Also what’s the shipping time of Petit H items, same as normal hermes or a longer wait? TYIA XOXO

Some of the Petit H pieces in Australia had a price increase, some by a couple of hundred dollars I believe!

I just saw this “So Small” bag on the Petit H section of the US website. The listings (canvas and silk) only have one photo each and I can’t find anything else about it online!

Has anyone seen this bag in person or know more about it?? So tempted to order one for this price!

Just saw a bunch of these at Sevres. It's unlined and rather cute but I chose other things. The problem with shopping petit h online is the "surprise" you get on receiving the item. The OCD part me would rather choose my own prints, colour combinations and do my own QC.

Has anyone ordered one of these Bell tote bags from the Petit H section? They seem like a really sturdy tote at such a good price, USD$2,625.

Can't see the "Petit H" on the Australian site anymore.... anyone know why this is?

While I agree prices are outrageous, I like that H does this, assuming it's way to use scraps leftover to make more products/artsy things instead of discarding them (i.e. sustainability).

Yes, that is exactly the reason for petit H. Read quoted post below:

A story on Nowness ... Petit h: Small Wonder.

Hermès New Salvage Collection Takes to the RoadIts name may be a nod to the luxury-synonymous capital H, but the alliterative thinking behind Hermès' Petit h capsule collection is emphatically R-focused: reclaim, review, recreate. The atelier is the brainchild of Pascale Mussard, a sixth-generation member of the Hermès family who was motivated to breathe new life into materials discarded from the mother companys workshops. The sustainability centered endeavor sees the leather crafters, seamstresses, silversmiths, and crystal and porcelain artisans of Hermès come together with outside talents (designer Adrien Rovero and artist Marjolijn Mandersloot among them) for a high-end recycling project. Repurposing materials that dont meet Hermès strict standards (leather trimming that has fallen from the cutting table, glass containing an air bubble, silk with the tiniest flaw), the Petit h lab has developed a rare, one-of-a-kind selection of design statements created from the cast-offs. Offerings from the range include a vintage model airplane finished with black matte crocodile skin that doubles as a valet tray; a gold, near-life-size fawn fashioned from buffalo skin; and crystal and leather dumbbells. The menagerie (whose contents range in price from $70 to $70,000) is transported via caravan for pop-up stints in Hermès boutiques throughout the world, and will next travel to Osaka and Tokyo in spring 2011, followed by New York and Beverly Hills in fall 2011.

One more reason H stands out
P.S. thanks for this thread! So insightful

I like the surprise of Petit H and I was sorry to see them go from the Australian online store. I have a couple of SLGs with silk detail (I can’t remember what they are called) and they are quirky and fun - perfect for lipstick or earbuds. I also have some silk pouches that are great for travel without actually being a full packing cube. I think utility is important in selecting pieces from this line.

I didn’t think I liked the surprise of Petit H until I saw this item. I love it, but bc it’s so tiny, I can’t justify the price
(It’s the size of a Rubik’s cube)

Petit H got discontinued in some regions and sent back to Paris from Australia and other countries. A local SA informed me when i called about an item. I'm disappointed because I would have liked to have something. but I also think the whole "sustainability " model of it is flawed if customers can't see the item in person and carbon is wasted sending out "surprise" parcels then not liking and returning with further freight. The "surprise " element could still work somehow if there was an instore option or maybe petitH popups at different H boutiques across a country, not just in one flagship that others interstate can't get to.

I can see petitH is still on the US site so enjoy if you are there!
