Sorry, if I wasn't clearer... This was what I posted
La Bouche Rouge leather lipstick case is priced at $123 & their refills priced at $42 & it is rumored that the
LBR lipstick case is sourced by the same H supplier of skins
FYI, the La Bouche Rouge doesn't have a mirror like the H one shown in the image

I have shared what I know/been able to find on this thread. Price of lip pencil and lip brush was shared here. I do not have any price knowledge of the leather accessories for the make up line. Just a reminder that I do not work for Hermès nor am I an influencer who's invited to press events. I do not have all the details even if one may perceive that I'm omniscient in all things H. I'm not!Please always check with your SA instead. I'm just another Hermès obsessed fan that enjoys seeing what they have out there, even if I may not like/buy the product.
You're too kind with your words.Well, regardless of your lack of omniscience, we all bow to you and are forever in your debt!
The rumour only extends to LBR's 'Barenia' black case. It's just marketing though, it's just a saddle leather tanned in the same way and hence perhaps why they made it in black only.
They are a lovely French brand though and you can have any colour matched for a refillable case, including any handbag - just not in their Barenia'.
I think H are slightly different in that their leather cases are outer cases. This adds to potential weight overall but it will be easier to find and probably could house any lipstick of a similar or smaller size, so for me would make a good (style) investment.
Did I read on here that Hermes is saying no plastics will be used or did I get that somewhere else? If so I'm wondering what the tubes are made of and how heavy they are. Well, we'll soon see and feel.
Yes, it was mentioned plastic free in the article (posted in initial post of this thread). If I recall correctly, the lipstick tubes are made of lacquer and permabrass hardware.
ETA: "A full-blown accessory in its own right, each bullet comes in a contemporary case in lacquered, brushed, polished, black, white or signature permabrass handbag hardware – all of which are made to last and designed by Pierre Hardy to be indefinitely refillable." (As I shared in earlier post)

Nice read, interview with Pierre Hardy

Pierre Hardy brings perfect harmony to Hermès’ beauty debut
With Rouge Hermès, the fashion house makes its first foray into beauty, to be followed by a full make-up range by 2023, and a skincare line after that.
Pierre Hardy gently brushes his thumb over a gold-coloured indent at the top of a new Hermès lipstick tube. It is engraved with the house’s ornate ex-libris emblem chosen by Émile-Maurice Hermès in 1923. ‘The top curves inward a bit like a fingerprint, giving it a little softness,’ says Hardy, who has designed shoes and jewellery for Hermès for 30 years. ‘It’s an anticipation of the gesture to come.’
With its brand-new beauty line, Hermès seeks to turn the task of applying make-up into a pleasurable ritual. Since its beginnings as a harness-maker, in 1837, Hermès has expanded its activities to more than a dozen métiers, everything from saddles to scarves. But the house is a latecomer to beauty, presenting its first make-up offering this March. It starts with a lipstick collection, Rouge Hermès, to be followed by a full make-up range by 2023, and a skincare line after that.
The lipstick results from three years of R&D under Hermès’ artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas. ‘Our first approach to beauty is completely consistent with what Hermès is about,’ he says. ‘It’s first of all sensual; about revealing, as opposed to masking. It’s about enhancing what is naturally there, and creating elegance and comfort and pleasure in being the best version of yourself.’ Dumas’ design team includes Jérôme Touron, creative director of HermèsBeauty (and formerly at Dior and Chanel), hired specifically to develop the make-up. Bali Barret, artistic director of Hermès Women’s Universe, serves as a link to the house’s silks and ready-to-wear, while Hardy created the collection’s tubes and packaging.
‘It is interesting to approach the question of femininity like a painter: what can we offer a woman so she can be an artist of her own beauty?’
Hardy gave us an early peek at the collection at Hermès’ HQ in Paris. A coffee table was covered with a tiny forest of lipsticks in a rainbow of lush reds, pinks and oranges – the 24 basic colours of the permanent range (the number references Hermès’ historic address, 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré) – plus a lip balm and a lip shine. The colours, ten matt and 14 satin, come from the house’s archives (it boasts 75,000 shades of silk and 900 more in leather). Some are brand classics, as recognisable to Hermès aficionados as psalms are to fervent Catholics. ‘Rouge H’ is a rich red that dates back to 1925, ‘Rouge Casaque’ is a vibrant red that fires up many an online discussion board, and ‘Orange Boîte’ is the citrusy shade that makes hearts skip a beat when it comes in the shape of a gift box.
The lipsticks’ silky feel is inspired by the house’s buttery leathers – Doblis suede for matt and box calfskin for satin. Hermès has been creating fragrances since 1951, and the lipsticks have a subtle scent, conceived by in-house perfumer Christine Nagel, with notes of arnica, sandalwood and angelica. Hermès even tended to the products’ sound; Hardy demonstrates the soft ‘click’ that a magnetised tube makes when shut.

Prior to this, Hardy had no experience with beauty products, and neither, really, did Hermès. He says there were advantages in approaching the design with a blank slate. ‘I thought, let’s act as though nothing else existed. I will try to create the quintessence of an object that is feminine, pure, simple. One that is immediately desirable but will stand the test of time, and that can convey the Hermès style: luxury and sobriety.’
The resulting tubes are colour-block cylinders made of metal that is lacquered, brushed or polished. ‘Metal is an important material at Hermès,’ says Hardy. ‘It is used in harnesses, saddlery, buckles and handbags.’ Each lipstick tube is made of 15 different elements by partner workshops in France and Italy. Refillable, they are meant to be kept as precious objects, like jewels.
The modern graphic design of the tubes contrasts with the classic ex-libris on the cap. The top half of the tube is white, or what Hardy calls ‘the image of purity and simplicity’. Every six months, three limited-edition lipstick colours will join the permanent collection. Hardy will play around more freely with the colour blocks of these tubes, finding ‘harmonies’ with each individual shade. For the first edition, an intense purple lipstick comes in a tube with bands of red and cornflower blue, while a coral shade is offset by emerald green. The overall effect is very Memphis Group.
Each Rouge Hermès lipstick comes with a canvas pouch, and is sold in a small Hermès box, wrapped in recycled paper, with a Lucio Fontana-like slit down the middle offering a glimpse of that delectable orange. The house’s leather atelier has created objects around the collection, such as a leather case and a mirror.
The new line also features a transparent lip pencil and a lip brush, the lacquered wooden handle designed by Hardy. He says, ‘I studied visual arts, and these materials – brushes, pencils – resemble what we used back then. It is interesting to approach the question of femininity like a painter: what can we offer a woman so she can be an artist of her own beauty?’

Totally adore Hardy and his designs for H and elsewhere. . It's a mystery how his own line is not more loved.
Question:
Anyone know if the Totems are refillable cos I want the tube but would want to swap the lipstick?
La Bouche Rouge "custom color" refills are $75.00.. They have to be selected from a color chart & even though they
are available in a choice of matte or satin finish, hard to buy IMO a lipstick color without a clear read of the color
LBR leather cases are quite substantial in weight & they can be monogrammed with up to 3 initials....
I'm looking forward to the H shades up close & personal as well as the lipstick cases, pencil & lip brush & for
certain will be able to spot easier in one's handbag
In total agreement on Hardy’s designs, love them!!
Regarding the Totems: right now can only assume that the reason why H designed them to be refillable, also applies to the seasonal ones? Have read quite a few articles and posts by now, and at least it’s nowhere mentioned they aren’t. Let’s hope they are.
I was talking about the custom leather cases that LBR does. They can be any colour
(although their chart is pretty extensive).
H lip brush is on my list too, it'll be my first lip brush (apart from the ones that come in a set). But where to keep the brush in a bag. Surely there's a leather case for that toooooo!!!
If that was the case (no pun intended) I'd buy the Totem cases and give away the lipsticks. It's just beating you lot to cashier's desk
.
