Same. I just want the bag to shine in its simplicity.
That being said when I’m having a bad (face/hair/body/mood) day, wearing a Hermès scarf is my ultimate pick me up.
Most popular Hermès bag for Parisian women?

Photo frôm a recent trip (meant to post in the wildlife thread but the quality is not good -sorry!) a lovely lady of a certain age, with beautiful silver hair and a black Kelly. I loved her elegance, it was just a bag and she put it on the floor. No drama, no trophy bag
I agree. I hang a Twilly on a tote for come color in the summer but never wrap handles. Just my preference
A few years ago I was at a beach restaurant in St. Barth and a woman walked in with a well worn etoupe B35 being used as the tote that it is. She walked up to the group at the table next to me, poured herself a drink and dropped the bag on the sandy floor next to her. It stuck with me as she was so effortlessly chic as was the bag!
For me personally, I can't get behind carrying Hermès (or any luxury handbag) to the beach or the pool... I have a pretty straw tote for that!
Me too! I don’t carry any leather bag to the beach. Leather is not the right material for the pool - basket bags look cool and light. Müûn makes lovely baskets but plenty of unbranded ones too in french markets. Come to think of it - I see A LOT of baskets bags in Paris.For me personally, I can't get behind carrying Hermès (or any luxury handbag) to the beach or the pool...

I wonder why Hermes did make Jane a picnic birkin.
On her piece on the Bolide on her blog, Kathy Wang had this to say:
"I just realized on my trip that the Bolide is everywhere in Tokyo! Very popular for an every day bag that still looks professional. The Bolide is also the Hermès bag I usually see the most on locals in Paris."
While it is elegant and can be very ladylike, it's also incredibly functional... I could definitely see chic Parisians (adoptive or native) like Charlotte Rampling or Isabelle Huppert dashing about the city with one in tow.

I get it, but I live at the beach and have ZERO choice if I want to carry my Hermes. If I am required to sit on the sand because I am entertaining loved ones, I will carry a Lindy, this time in Bali or the Hermes beach bag.For me personally, I can't get behind carrying Hermès (or any luxury handbag) to the beach or the pool...
