Thank you! I love the color you chose - both bag and insert! Do you notice it leaving imprints on your bag or sticking out? It doesn’t look like it does from either photo but I want to make sure I make the right decision that will preserve the bag as best as possible.

Senamon’s are interesting with the zipper but I haven’t seen anyone talk about them so I appreciate your candid feedback about them!

Senamons organizers are amazing! I have them for my Birkin 35, OTG GM and MM and I just put down an order today for my B30, Evelyne and another for my other b35
 
Probably a very biased place to ask. But the Jypsiere has always been my favorite bag, looks-wise. Something has changed for my lifestyle though and the work required for the clasp plus the dimensions of the bag that mean, for me, things seem ready to fall out at any time. I’d never considered a Halzan before. Is it a good substitute?

I’ve also never considered or tried to get a B or K. Is the Halzan a bag I could just ask my SA about or that might pop up online like the Evelyne or would I be better off trying one out from FP or similar. I buy a smattering of jewelry, menswear, and house wear from Hermes but have only bought a few bags and never anything I had to angle or worry about spend for. Thanks!

I was eyeing the jypsiere for a while when I decided to get a Halzan instead. I still may get a jypsiere as my next bag, but I LOVE my Halzan, and I‘m very glad I have it. It can be carried multiple ways, has some nice compartments, it’s easy to get in and out, lightweight.. Anyone can grab one at the boutique as a walk-in, as long as they are in stock. At least at my local boutique, the inventory has been ridiculously low ever since the fall. I got my Halzan in August. They occasionally pop up online, though I think your best bet would be going to the boutique and seeing what they have. Good luck! It’s a really great bag!
 
Just came home with this Halzan 25 in Etoupe from the Madison Ave shop. I absolutely love it and can’t wait to use it! I told the SA I was looking for something a bit more structured in a neutral color (*coughBirkin/Kellycough*), but when she came out of the stock room with this I was sold ♥️

A little background: this was my first time shopping in any Hermes boutique, so the fact that I came out of the store with a bag at all was a nice surprise .

Samorga came out with an insert for the Halzan 25 recently. I have been using that plus a felt base shaper from Jenny Krafts. Before that I was just using cardboard cut to the right shape and covered with a dust cloth to protect the bottom from sagging. The Samorga insert and base shaper seem to be working well together.
I do the same - Samorga insert with a custom size base shaper from Jenny Krafts. I like to preserve the shape of my bags so don’t put anything in the back pocket thicker than a credit card. Someone was asking about an iPad Air? I think I could put an iPad Mini in my 25 vertically and hold it with the handles unfolded but I wouldn’t due to the weight. If you don’t care about the bag getting more slouchy over time, then it would fit an iPad mini.
