Does anyone else ever get to a point where you've researched and researched and lusted and lusted only to get to the store, ready to purchase, and be vaguely disappointed/unimpressed?
I have been in France (as many of you might remember from previous posts), and been back and forth to Paris, been to Florence, London, etc, and looked and browsed all over for Hermes things (as well as other small agenda/wallet-esque items from Bottega and Goyard). I'm pretty sure that from Hermes, I want either a small agenda (like a vision II) or a notebook (like the ulysse). I have very little use for ties, and as beautiful as the belts are, they just don't amaze me quite enough to justify the $600+ pricetag. Shoes are great too, but again, paying $900+ for dress shoes just doesn't work for me right now, as they would probably sit in the closet more than being worn.
So, today, I went into George V to look around. Well, I looked at the ulysse gm in Lagon, which I really like (something like 194 euros, which i think is less than it says on the website). So I suppose that is a possibility. Then I saw the Globetrotter (non zip) with pencil loops in barenia, and that was gorgeous too (324 euros if i remember correctly). So I thought, those would both be great. But why is the globetrotter more expensive in barenia than in swift, and freaking 865 euros in lizard? and should I spend ~$500 for an agenda in barenia that is gorgeous but sorta boring. Should I look for something more exciting? And then the massive number of leather and color possibilities really started to intimidate me.
Whew.
So whatever. I'm going back to Bordeaux tomorrow, and will have more possibilities to browse at the H there. I guess I'm just ready to pull the trigger, but can't make a decision about what will be best in the long-run (barenia [beautiful] over swift or chevre [sturdy]).
please let me know if you have any general comments or ideas
Hope you all are doing well! xo

srq, buy from your heart. As our motto around the board is if it doesn't make your heart sing, don't purchase it. I know H is expensive, but how wonderful that there are still places in the world where you can purchase what would really be described as authentic luxury. I know I'm going to cut down on things like make-up, skin care, and other impulse buys and I'm going to see how much I have in October so I can treat myself to a little H something for my graduation present. If you are truly disappointed in Hermes, maybe the brand isn't for you - that's not a bad thing. We all can't like everything. Good luck.

Hi, I have been dreaming about a Birkin for years. I have spent a lot of money on bags from Chloe, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Mulberry and had I not bought my beloved bags I could (easily
, I hate to admit it) have gotten a lovely Birkin. That's something I have to live with and it's my own fault. 
When I think of how much I've actually spent I get dizzy!
The good news is that I love each and every one of my handbags. They are well taken care of and appreciated.

I've missed so much while I was gone!! Suzie and margieb, congrats!!
My H dreams have to be put on hold for just a little bit. My family has suffered two setbacks. One affects us financially and the other just put some things in perspective for me. I can't even think about H right now due to these two things
Maybe next year ... But until then I can live vicariously through you guys.
I did post my twilly pics in the "show us your twillies" thread if you guys want to take a look. The search function seems to be disabled, so I couldn't find my original thread ...

I've been hiding, but I'm happy to see this place so active.
Sorry about your situation, P-B, hope everything is ok! Sometimes we all need a reminder that sometimes a bag is just a bag. Although I can't believe I just said that...

P-B I send my warmest thoughts, and hope for the future, your way. I can´t afford any H bags yet, if ever, but live my H life through here. :shame:
