Hello fellow lux lovers! It's been a while since I've been active on tPF. I've been quietly lurking and enjoying the eye candy in various forums. It's been a busy year with some challenges but so many blessings. Moving, getting a promotion, caring for an aging parent, and adopting have left little time for much else. Now that things have settled down a bit, I would love to solicit some advice from you all. I am still very new to Hermes. I've shopped in a boutique maybe 6 or 7 times, mainly purchasing fine jewelry. I have my eye on some boots and a piece of RTW that I'll work with my SA on the next time I'm in the boutique. So far, I've added 4 H bags to my collection (2 purchased in a boutique and 2 I randomly lucked out purchasing online). I eventually want either a Kelly 28 or a Birkin 30. I'm patient, so there is no rush on my end. It could be next year or 3 years from now, and that's fine. I have plenty of handbags in my collections from various houses to keep me entertained and happy. I'm just trying to plan a few color options to let my SA know. H has so many beautiful colors, and I was able to look at the color samples the last time I was in the boutique. But so many shades look very similar that it can be overwhelming. Can you all help me round out my collection if I only purchased 1 or 2 more H bags? Here is what I have so far.

Lindy 30 in Etoupe (PHW)
24/24 in Craie/Beton (GHW)
24/24 in Gold (PHW)
Picotin 18 Gris Meyer (PHW)

My wardrobe is pretty neutral (mostly navy, cream, all shades of beige/brown, and black). I love neutrals, and to be honest, I'm a little afraid of bright colors lol. Plus, I have a handful of medium Chanel CFs that fill my need for color (red, pink, emerald green, blue). I don't want another black bag as I have 3 medium Chanel CFs that are black. Is there another dark color that I could use as a substitute for a black bag? What colors would you all suggest? Thank you in advance for your thoughts! I hope everyone has a blessed holiday season.

Moderators, if this shouldn't be a separate thread, I apologize and am good with merging it with an existing thread.

If you are looking to get a bag from the boutique, you are going to be limited by what is actually available in a given season. I would just tell your SA you are interested in a very dark color or an neutral and see what is there. That is a better approach then throwing a list of colors at them and hoping they will remember.

oh wow ALL these colors are on my list!
as well as a few more of those mentioned by others.
I feel SEEN on this thread :biggrin:
From that helpful link - I guess I gravitate more towards colorful options that can also act as neutrals.
