Introducing Big A Bag otherwise known to me as Babs in Deep Blue. I have been searching the forum for days now looking for modeling photos of the Evelyn TGM (40). Most of the photos I could locate were in the Space for guys modeling their Hermes thread. I did find a couple pictures of famous women in airports with them and yes they are huge. The Evelyne is by far my most used bag. They are just so easy to throw over your shoulder and crossbody that I have a hard time switching to anything else at this point in my life.
My dilemma started quite a while ago. I watch my toddler grandson at least once a week, sometimes as much as three. Given that my youngest is 22 and oldest 32 I had forgotten how much stuff you have to carry for them. Even my Evelyne 33's are too small to fit everything. I anticipate that Fall will have me carrying a small jacket for him as well. So that is when I started looking for something larger to accommodate everything we need on our outings. The TGM is perfect for me. I got the idea when I saw a mom in Hermes one day carrying not only a TGM but a diaper bag and a regular size purse as well. That's way too much for me, but it still looked great on her. Not for everyone I know but I do love this bag so much already. No doubt it will also come in very handy for travel when my husband finally decides to retire. This will be my last bag for the foreseeable future. So I guess I decided to "go big"
P.S. I absolutely love the slouch

Sounds perfect for what you need it for.
Is it possible to see a mod pic, it's very rare to find TGM.
Thank you! I have put the bag away for the week. I will try to remember to take one when I watch him next
Sharing my first Hermes purchase. It took me some time to find this ideal combination though. ❤
Still beautiful though! And I love étoupe..
Wanted to share samorga insert for my evelyne pm.
Did I see somebody mention that they ordered a bag insert for their TPM with a zipper closure? Just purchased a TPM and interested in an insert with a zipper but can't find the post. Did I imagine it?
Senamon makes one with a zip. It does kind of limit what you can get in the bag, though.
Congratulations! Just have to say, your photos are fantastic!
Here you go! Sorry the lighting isn’t the best but it’s my only full length mirror. I am 5’7” and the strap is adjusted to it’s shortest length. I can pretty much only wear crossbody but that’s ok with me. I took two different views in case you are an H in or H out person. I added an MM Pegasus Rodeo and Twilly to break it up and because my grandson loves it! Also it just makes it fun! Off to our Friday adventures. Hope everyone has a great day ❤
I just came back to this thread to throw my request in for modeling pictures, but here they are! Thanks for sharing these. I love that color and the bag looks great on you. I have a GM that I thought would be large enough to be a mom bag, but your beautiful TGM is making me consider sizing up. I’m very thin and two (ok, more like three) inches shorter than you though, so I’m concerned that it would completely drown me. I guess this gives me another excuse to make an appointment at the store.
Honestly it might be too much for a shorter person with the strap it comes with. ShoulderBagStrap on Etsy does make shorter canvas straps. I was thinking of ordering one as well. When my CA checked for me there was also a black, sesame and raisin available (US) I struggled between raisin and the blue. I love blue so ultimately that’s what I chose. I will say I can pretty much take the kitchen sink with me . Great for moms grandmas and anyone who needs to carry lots! Hopefully I helped a bit. ❤️
