The bag seems like it would work although its a little big but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make. To be honest I stay FAR away from the resale market. Too many horror stories and its not worth the hassle. So if i am going to get it I will just uy it from Hermes. That being said Chanels Cruise is the worst collection I have seen in years, so at least my $ is safe from there! haha

Agree with you on the latter ;)
I both have the mini and the regular size and use them for different purposes. The mini is great as a Clutch and worn by the handles whereas I like the larger sizes better crossbody. I used the mini more during summer and foresee myself using the larger one more during winter. As with every non classic H bag, the potential resale price may make you wonder if it is worth the price tag (in my opinion it is but that doesn’t matter), so you need to make sure you love the bag. I have worn mine so many times that the cost per wear has basically already amortized the purchase. Even if H stops producing it for some time, they may still have stock left, so take your time.

Very true. I never go into buying something working about resale, my heart needs to LOVE IT thats all that matters to me. Years ago(like umm almost 20) I bought the original Fendi baguette . Not bc of the Sexand the City junk but bc I fell in love with it and would walk by the store and Stare thru the window(haha) finally I bought it wore it FOREVER but then put it on the shelf(never once thinking maybe I should sell this) Well glad I didnt cause its back! So for me a purchase is a life long love affair. hehe

I decided to send it back as in my part of the world with long winters, I would not have gotten much use out of it and would have preferred a mini in that particular colour. I purchased an Ébène Barenia Faubourg instead. If I had unlimited funds though, I would have kept it for sure, accepting the fact that I would not use it regularly. I once rejected a Magnolia 31 and have regretted it ever since...

THATS exactly why I was leaning toward one BUT I was just told by a second SA in a completely different city that next season Hermes will NO LONGER Produce the Halzan in both the mini and 31. She said they are focusing efforts on other designs! Well I guess the Halzan is out for me

Haha. I actually have the exact opposite reaction when I saw you said Hermès is discontinuing Halzan! I want to get another one (or three, in gold, blue, and black!)

I just LOVE the design. So pretty. :heart:

After owning a Halzan and loving it, decided to get one for my mom as well.

Didn’t realize it’s tonal stitching until I got home! Though on a black with GHW, it may be a better look than contrast stitching.(More formal for Mom)

so beautiful and so exciting for me - I just bought the same one and although I usually prefer silver hardware, the gold buckle on the black bag is just amazing :). Hope your mum enjoys in good health

Cheers to you, @lara0112! I’m with you on silver vs gold. But somehow, Halzans in neutral color seem to go really well with GHW! Very much of a classic beauty.
