Is it just me or does the TPM feel a tad bit too small and the PM too big? I love the style but those sizes don't really seem to fit and my local store hardly have any TPM for me to try on. It would be awesome if Hermes made a 22 or 24!

Absolutely! IMO the PM is comically large, it's just a giant pouch hanging by three side of your body and the bag slouches and becomes shapeless due to the size. The TPM has a lovely structure but barely fits anything and lacks the practical outside pocket.
But then I feel like a lot of Hermes models have the same issue: e.g. the Verrou is too big while the mini verrou is too small.

Congrats on your purchase!
I use the inserts from Senamon for both my 29 and TPM. I have found the quality and colour choice excellent so far, and the delivery was speedy.

Hi Londongal, could I ask if you use the zipped or non-zipped insert for your TPM please, and did you customise it or just buy the standard version?.. I’m struggling to decide what’s best! TIA!

I wanted to share about a couple of straps I purchased on Etsy. I've been wearing my Evelyne GM IIIs (Black and Gold, pictured below) cross-body on almost the shortest option for the strap, but I wanted the option of wearing it as a shoulder bag too (without using a twilly or some other method). I was contemplating getting the straps shortened so that it worked cross-body on almost the longest setting and as a shoulder bag on the shortest, but was uncomfortable with changing the original strap just in case I ever decided to let go of one of the bags.

I found a seller on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/747438596/2-5cm-everlyne-amazon-shoulder-bag-strap) that had what looked like perfect matches for Hermes colors. I custom ordered two straps that give me the length adjustment I want. They were only $50 each, shipped, and arrived in 3 weeks. And they're perfect! They're practically indistinguishable from the original Hermes straps. So, if anyone is looking to do the same, I highly recommend this shop.

Is the etsy strap able to be used as a shoulder strap?

I would love it if they did a variation just a tiny bit bigger but with the outside pocket that is on the PM and larger sizes.

I agree 100% I wish they added the outside pocket like in the pm. I have the pm and I don’t really use it because everything I carry fits inside pocket. But in the baby one it would make so much more practical.

So today I updated the Swedish website thinking like normal there won’t be any Evelyne for sale. Low and behold they had 4 in PM size. I got total panic and immediately placed an order for the Gold. But then started thinking I loved the Bleu Pâle and Craie but tried to be sensible with potential colour transfer. Now just hoping I’ll love the bag once it arrives.

Pictures below:

Would anyone owning a Senamon organiser (felt and non felt) give me a feedback on it and possibly some photos? I'm thinking of purchasing a bag organiser for my Evelyne PM in prune (clemence leather) but I'm debating on the felt / non felt options or leaving the bag as it is. Many thanks

Yes, because you can have it made to whatever size you want. So, I measured the length of the strap when I wear it crossbody and added a few extra inches in case I ever need to make it longer (like for over a winter coat with more bulk, for example). Then, I tied the strap at the perfect length for me to wear it as a shoulder bag and measured that. I provided the range of shortest to longest I wanted the strap to adjust to, and they made it perfectly to that size. It's my perfect strap now!

Hand sanitizer leaked in my Evie TPM. I’m annoyed with myself for letting it happen although I don’t know how or when it happened. Has anyone else had this misfortune and what can be done about it? If this is the wrong place to ask, please direct me to the correct thread...

thanks!!

I had this happen to my Evelyne PM in February. Per my local hermes store / craftsman nothing can be done to repair. The only option they gave me was to potentially send to Paris to see if the leather panel could be replaced but no guarantees and no quote on price. I declined and have just lived with the damage. It totally sucks. I now am petrified to carry sanitizer in an of my bags. Once that alcohol hits leather it’s ruined :(

Thank you, that is exactly what I feared. I, too, will just live with the stains. You saved me the trouble of heading to the boutique searching for hope! Lesson learned, and I hope others see this and are extra careful so this doesn’t happen to them.

@Louboutin329 and @3kidsmakes5 so sorry this happened to your Evelyns! Does the stain show on the outside? Do you mind sharing pictures? I spilled water in my GM once while traveling and didn’t notice until we reached the hotel. Meanwhile the bottle had pressed on the wet leather and after it dried, there was a small area of flattening of the pebbles there. Did the same happen to yours?
