Not the person you asked…. But I recently tried on the messenger in size 21 in BF and was sorely tempted (I was considering it as a travel bag). I ultimately passed on it but I didn’t find it heavy. I had previously tried the larger size and found it too large on my frame.also as a woman... did you find the bag heavy? I have not seen it in person as of yet.
Yes, I did find it rather heavy and this was before I placed all my belongings in it. The hardware is quite chunky which adds to the overall weight of the bag. It was beautifully made, but I decided to pass on it.also as a woman... did you find the bag heavy? I have not seen it in person as of yet.

I sold my 2424 in 29 bc it was too heavy for me. I was hoping though I don’t expect this to be light, that it won’t be so heavy that I won’t want to carry it…Yes, I did find it rather heavy and this was before I placed all my belongings in it.

It wasn’t anything to do with the bag itself and if I were actively seeking a KM, this would definitely have been the one. It just wasn’t high enough up my list of priorities.What made you pass on it if you don’t mind sharing?
WOW! This looks great! Have you noticed any patina since purchasing this beautiful heritage leather?Of course here are some photos - it’s my second Hermes bag and the leather feels soooo good.
Thank you! Oh yes it started to patina on day 1 - I definitely don’t baby it and it travels everywhere with me ✈️✈️✈️WOW! This looks great! Have you noticed any patina since purchasing this beautiful heritage leather?
Do you have photos of the patina now? TIAThank you! Oh yes it started to patina on day 1 - I definitely don’t baby it and it travels everywhere with me ✈️✈️✈️
Love the signs of wear! Truly builds character over your journey of using the bagSure! Took these just now in a hotel- I’d say the back has the most wear because it’s against my body or the airplane floor (gross) and I think a denim jacket kept bumping it recently (don’t judge me)…View attachment 6001482View attachment 6001483
It was 14.5k I think because of the heritage leatherLove the signs of wear! Truly builds character over your journey of using the bagIf you don't mind me asking, how much was this KM GM in BF leather? I can't find much about the price of the KM GM on the forum or other blog sites. TIA
