I'm also new to tPF, though I've been drooling over everyone's collections on here for a few weeks. I'm 23, just graduated from university and recently started my first full-time job! My dream bag would be a 28 or 32 Kelly in a jewel-tone, something fairly neutral since this would probably be my only one for quite a while. I figure it will take me about 2 years to save for mine since I have student loans that I want to wipe out completely first, and then set aside savings for either a downpayment on my own place (living with my mom right now) or for a permanent move back to England (which is really my dream).

Sometimes I question whether its worth it, and then I see someone's reveal and get that little giddy Hermes feeling and fall in love all over again :love:

Hi everyone! I loooove this thread... After drooling over some of the other members' H collections, it's so relieving to know that not everyone can afford Bs and Ks and is working their hardest to get their hands on one! Well I've been dreaming of a 35 togo birkin in lagon or rouge garance for abt 4 months now but DH does not approve of it (even if it's my own money, sadly...) i understand that we do have to consider using the money for more useful needs like investment, a house (now we only have an apartment) or upgrading our car (from a honda to an audi) so for now I have to suffice with my new sanguine all leather fjord garden party with monsieur montres scarf tied on and will sneak in little H things to feed my H addiction until we win a lottery and I can finally get that B! Lol

OMG I am in the EXACT same situation. 23, just graduated uni, living at home still until I find a place when DBF is done uni next april, working full time in the family business but actively searching for a job more in line with what i want to do (marketing/events/business relations), I also figure it will take me about 2 years or more to get a birkin (especially if I get a house that needs renos, that'll set me back a bit time and money wise). I dont question if its worth it, bc its something I love (bags i mean) and I will enjoy and use daily and have forever, its just a matter of when can I afford it without putting myself in debt or on a really tight, unrealistic budget. I dont need to suffer for the bag, bc then I would feel guilty and regret it.

I cant stop looking at 35cm black birkins with PHW !!!!! *sigh* so pretty!

I'm saving for my second Hermes bag and a big (traveling) adventure next summer... I'm hoping that when we end up in Paris, I can pick up my dream bag. I'm saving, saving, saving until I figure out exactly which bag I'm looking for! I've oscillated between the under-the-radar bags (Garden Party) to the not-so-under-the-radar (Kelly Lakis). We'll see what August/September 2012 brings ;)

My name is "joviscot". Dont have a Hermes bag :( but would love a blue kelly bag. Been wanting one for years but due to only having a part-time job just now, i cant even save up. So the elusive bag is further away than ever :(

I just got my dream bag :D And it has 'only' been ten years since I first laid my eyes on it. How time flies! We'll be making an appearance at Hermès at Fashion's Night Out. See you in Paris.

I should also add, I have not necessarily been saving, just found the right item at the right time, and pulled some budgeting strings to be able to buy my beautiful pre-loved bag with a beauty mark :cool: It's more or less the final item in my life's must-have list, and now I feel a kind of serene completeness.
