Do any of you find your bag to be heavy and the strap uncomfortable? I have the PM, or 29. I carried it the other day and just put in the basics, wallet, keys, small pochette and phone and found my shoulder bothering me. I got home and weighed it and it's my heaviest bag. I was shocked it was heavier than my Epi Noe NM!
Hi I also have thought that.
My DH has an Evelyne 1 in Barenia and it is noticeably lighter than my Clemence 3.
There is no outer pocket so less leather weight and the strap is half an inch narrower and no adjustment on it so also significantly lighter.
I love the colour of mine and I can’t say I wouldn’t like more colours in another Evy along the way but I love the lightness of his.

My TPM arrived! Hermes shipping was incredible- next day delivery from Paris into the UK, very impressed.

I’ve spent a few days thinking carefully about whether to keep the bag or not- something in me feels a little bit ill at having spent so much on such a small item. It does not represent value for money in any way, although I know that goes for most luxury brand items!

My DH is very encouraging and has persuaded me to keep it, he’s such a sweetie! And actually, the bag is beautiful. The leather is lovely and thick with a gorgeous texture. Blue Brighton is a nice, soft blue which fits well with my wardrobe of denim and blues/greens/purples. It is very small but does fit the essentials, phone, small wallet, lippy and keys and as I have shoulder issues, will not be too heavy.

I took a pic earlier, the blue looks a bit steely here but is closer to the blue in the scarf in most lighting.

View attachment 4011910 After passing both Blue Brighton and Rose Jaipur Evelyne tpm from my boutique, I scored a gold/cuivre from H.com. I love the richness and warmth of the gold color but the cuivre strap has more red undertone than I expect. Any thoughts? Would you consider cuivre to be a neutral color? Cheers!
I ordered the same one from h.com last month and returned it for the same reason. I was not a fan of the cuivre strap.

Just picked up the Gold/Cuivre TPM. Unlike the online picture, it has the contrast stitch. Cute early valentine gift from my hubby.

Hi Monique, I have just received the same tpm from h.com and was wondering how are you liking this combo. The cuivre strap has more red undertone than I have envisioned but yet I think it compliments the gold well. Do you find the strap color easy and neutral to wear? Cheers!

Love this! I have never seen 90 carre as a strap. I am inspired, and will be trying this with my Etain Evelyne. [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Glad I could inspire you! Also try it with a CSGM. I've been loving the combo of my Samourai 140 with my Etoupe :coolio:

The gold/cuivre is such a great neutral! I actually was after the Gold and had one on hold, until another SA swiped and sold it before I could get to the boutique.:tdown: I ended up getting one in Etoupe instead. I still want it in Gold though lol
