Hermes Toolbox

[Addicted to bags]

Because the toolboxes don’t get enough love, I’ll double-post all these photos here. It’s definitely an under-appreciated, practical, and cute bag. The more I use mine, the more I love it. I clearly frequently style it differently...fitting a pink bag in as a guy for your daily takes a lot of creativity! I’m really itching for another one, but need to space-out my expensive bag purchases (and it’s not like my store has had any more in anyway).

Can I ask which size scarf you are using for your strap? Is it the new maxi twilly, the 90 cm or the OG maxi twilly? And I'm sure you get lots of compliments as you style and wear your TBV20 so well

Thank you! I have a Maxi Twilly and a men's large-sized Losange that I use as a strap, both work very well. I think a square scarf like the 90cm would be too bulky around the shoulder, but I do want to try a Giant Triangle at some point and a Twillon if I can find one in a color that coordinates well with my bag...the only one I have clashes horribly.

I agree about a 90cm being bulky. Ahh a men's large losange, I did see some extra material and thought you had magically folded a 90 cm but a men's losange makes sense for the silk I'm seeing. A Giant triangle is an interesting idea too. Thanks.

I just re-read and noticed this comment...there's two different versions of the Maxi Twilly?

Mine is the Animapolis pattern (which I think is relatively recent) and is the "Maxi-Twilly Slim" -- this one: https://www.hermes.com/ca/en/product/animapolis-maxi-twilly-slim-H533275Sv08/

Yes, the original Maxi Twilly is much longer. I think H stopped selling them about 3-4 years ago. There is a 2nd Maxi Twilly that I think was called the Maxi Twilly Cut. Same width as the original but shorter length. The Maxi Twilly slim is the newest iteration.
I have one of the original M-Twilly's but my toolbox is in Etain and I'll have to go look to see if the colors work together. I originally bought it for a Malachite Evelyne.

There's a Maxi Twilly thread which will give you more info if you want to read thru it.

Oh wow! You’ve just sent me down a new rabbit hole

How is the capacity? Can you put a small water bottle along with a small umbrella?

I took a pic for you of what I typically have inside it...only thing missing are my keys. As you can see, there's plenty of room.

It’s amazing that nintendo switch can be fit in too. I bring it out on most days and that is definitely a plus point for me!

Thank you for sharing!

No problem! The Joycon have to come off, but otherwise it fits well, it can lay down flat in there. The TB20 is a spacious little bag

Love all your TB photos, glad I found this thread! TB is truly underrated, for me it has the elements of Birkin and Kelly, with a functional comfy strap.

Sharing my big girl swift TB33 in gold, the charms and twillies are from Etsy.

Oh wow your TB33 is beautiful!!! You’re very right, definitely an underrated bag, it’s super easy and comfortable to use!

I went to ask my local store and they were saying they haven't receive Toolbox 20 for some time. In fact, Hermes don't produce Toolbox 20 every year.

It's going to be really tough to get it, unless I go for preloved route.

Has anyone ever used a toolbox with a longer strap than the one it comes with? I feel like the one I have for my TB26 is too short sometimes!

I use a Maxi-Twilly Slim as a cross-body strap on my TB20...it’d easily work with the 26 as well. I have the Attache Soie, but technically you could do it without them.
