Thank you, guys!
It is 31cm Bolide Gris Tourterelle in Clemence with PH. I first thought about white bolide for Summer, but decided to get something more practical color-wise. Tried this one in the store in December and fell in love right away. And voila! she's mine now:love: I'm so very happy with it. 31cm is the perfect size, I'm 5'4 and 100Lbs.
I'm contemplating on my next H bag :girlsigh:What that would be?
 
The SilkyPop.....

Ok, so.....while $960 may be quite inexpensive in terms of an Hermes bag, I still am having a hard time justifying such a price for this material & style.

Even still....the silkypop is calling my name. I can see me on the beach in Miami with a silkypop in exotic colors. I figure......If I eat nothing but spaghetti and special K for the next 4 weeks, I can have it. - Just kidding. Anyway....I need it by June.

luxeluva, I have to wholeheartedly agree......these bags are very pretty but think they are too expensive especially when you could put that money towards a leather bag like a Bolide or Evelyne.

And I own a Birkin so it's not like I have an aversion to spending money on bags
 
The SilkyPop.....

LUCYWIFE

ooohhhh - she is beautiful.
So pure and perfect.
Enjoy her
What should you go for next?
What do you need?
I am going for a Rouge Trim next as my everyday bag

The silky pop talks to me too. But I cant justify $1000 for what would amount to a lunch bag. But the concept is SOOO appealing. And I could not find any Silky pop knock-offs, conceptually or otherwise. I love the idea of a beautiful little silk bag that I can break out of my regular purse as needed.

But I just cant go there price wise. It probably has NO resale value. At least H scarves retain some inherent value.

LucyWife, I love Bolides! I'm glad you got it and in such a wonderful color, too. What does "Gris Tourterelle" mean? Because I hardly see any kind of gray in your Bolide...or perhaps it is just the lighting? It is BEAUTIFUL, regardless. Congrats!

LuxLuva and MargieB, I remember a recent thread about the silky pop and I agree with both of you. It'd be a lovely thing to have. I've played with it IRL and the silk certainly seemed much more sturdier than I had thought. Also, (though I can't believe I am enabling this) BCBG has their own version of a silky pop...or had anyway, as I saw it in one of their outlet stores.:shame:
 
CG, I don't know what it is, but I love the look of that bag.
It's casual, doesn't scream HERMES, and it'd be a great
starter bag. :)

lucywife, :yahoo: Congrats on your Bolide.
It's gorgeous. :)

luxeluva, if you love it, go for it. :)
I wonder if the silkypop is the exception
to the ebay prices are sometimes higher
than the retail prices general rule?
 
What does "Gris Tourterelle" mean? Because I hardly see any kind of gray in your Bolide...
Thank you! Gris Tourterelle means Dove Grey. I'll make some more pictures in different lighting later, my camera's battery is recharging.

What should you go for next?
What do you need?
OH, I have no idea :shame: Your choice sounds nice too. I like them all, I have to say:girlsigh:I think about Birkin in Raisin/Togo, I have a wallet in this combination and it's beautiful. I also like Graphite and this new Adroise(?) color for Birkin as a workhorse bag, but not sure about its size yet, and 28cm or even 25cm Kelly in Lizard in some bright color for going-out bag, would be nice to have someday...
 
lucywife - Congratulations! She is absolutely gorgeous. Your patience has been duly rewarded. Wear her in good health!

luxeluve - I also love silky pop but I can not see myself paying the $900 when there are so MANY other H items on my list of wants. But if $900 were to fall of a truck.... ;) :p ;)
