Thankyou you so much for your reply. Sombrero sounds like a great option for a Sellier. Always more to think about in Hermès research...which is half the fun [emoji6]
It is the epitome of perfect for Sellier .... with one tiny exception for me (I can't stomach scratches so it's high maintenance). However, I had a long convo with my SM and his motto is just ENJOY and we can spa it back to perfect later =) I felt good about that.
It's sometimes frustrating because some items are so rare (in terms of no one you know has any direct experience with it) so you may end up being the ghinny pig when offered a particular product. In fact when I was offered this bag, the SA had no clue about the characteristics of Sombrero because it was the first time she saw that type of leather. She told me she thought it would patina! =O
I have learned to just be brave within certain limits hahahha It's funny because this bag gets more compliments than all my other bags except the rose shocking B.
