Hi do any owners of this bag have insight on wear and tear? Comfort? Any regrets purchasing the bag?

First and foremost I love this bag. The only semi con I have is at times when you shoulder carry the bag, it can tilt forward a bit due to the fact that the straps are strapped to the back of the bag, but this annoyance is only if I had to nitpick. It’s a very practical bag. The back pocket is such a plus for easy access to say a small card holder or your phone of course. No regrets— love love love. Oh, as for wear and tear, mines is in the Maurice leather and so far so good.

I love this bag. I have two and am thinking of buying a third. It is VERY user-friendly. It seems to hold everything and it's understated, a more casual Birkin as it were and far less recognizable. I have been using it continuously since I bought it--that's about 8 months now, and still, it shows no signs of wear.
If I have any complaints, they're as follows: first that the shoulder strap is weird. It's too narrow for the bag and too short to wear crossbody. I hate the idea of spending more money to buy a strap, and also, Hermes is out of everything that would complement the two that I own. It's frustrating. Second, the handle is perfect for handheld but too small to wear in the crook of my arm, so if I need to hold something in two hands--such as a bag of groceries, it's either the groceries or the bag. These are minor complaints overall, and obviously they're not stopping me from enjoying the bag.

thanks so much for the intel! Do you use bag inserts in yours? If so would you mind sharing which kind?

I don't use bag inserts. I think they're big, bulky and ultimately reduce the usable space. I buy techno zippered pouches from Prada which I use for pens, cosmetics, etc. My glasses case, card holder, wallet, handkerchief, cell phone go inside my bags along w the Prada pouch. I have never had a mark inside any of my bags.

Hi everyone! Would love to get your advice!! Ever since a recent visit to Hermes, I can't seem to get the 24/24 bag off of my mind. :eek: It seems like a great combo between the kelly and birkin. Would love to hear from anyone who has it and whether you are enjoying it or having regrets?? Is it as practical as it seems? Or would you hold out for another birkin/kelly? Thank you!:flowers:

I absolutely adore my 24/24. It is fun and sophisticated and goes with my wardrobe beautifully. I know some folks don’t like the strap placement, but I actually like the way it makes the bag hang. I don’t like to have the same bag in multiple colors, but I’m strongly considering making an exception and getting a 2nd 24/24.

I have one and absolutely love it! It was love at first sight...

I was browsing in a boutique and saw one being offered, my heart skipped a beat and I asked if they had anymore. Luckily they did and I picked it up then and there.

I think the 24/24 is to the Kelly bag what the Chanel 19 is to the classic flap.

@jag do you know what size and colour combo you'd like?

Thank you ladies! I appreciate your help! I’m considering a 29 cm in Gold or Black with GH. But definitely not decided totally on color just yet.

I've been thinking of one in Etain so I can use my Evelyne canvas strap. This bag is definitely my dream bag. If I could find one in the Blue Nuit/Indigo/Bordeaux/Kraft combo for under $15k that would be glorious.
