I’m good now, thank you for the reassurance! I found a friend that also has a gris perle evelyne and it has the same variation in the color threads.


That’s what I thought at first, but it is barely used and in like new condition. Also, the thread color is consistent on the front and back of the tab which wouldn’t be the case if it were due to wear and tear.

I feel comfortable now knowing that different threads can be used on different parts of the bag as well. Thank you!

I got the E29 in Clemence Biscuit. I am very casual day to day and go to work sites (I’m an interior designer) where I need to be hands free and sometimes I can’t even put my bag down.
I super love the colour because in some lights it’s a nice tawny brown but in some lights it’s even mustardy.

Can’t quite decide on Twilly but I have this for now. Suggestions welcome!

I'd love someone's opinion. I purchased an Hermes Evelyne TPM today from Julia Rose Boston. The bag is new in box, black with black strap and gold hardware. I was in the market for a small black bag but did purchase somewhat more quickly than I typically would because I was afraid it would sell. Now I'm questioning (a) if I paid too much ($3095) and (b) if I'll be happy with the gold hardware. Not a good feeling! I mostly wear white gold/ platinum jewelry and will primarily use this as a casual bag. Any thoughts out there?
While the hardware preference is personal, I don't think you can go wrong here bc gold is classic and you don't have to match your jewelry to your hardware. Also, while you can currently get a TPM for less, I think you'd be hard pressed to find the same color/hardware combo in the box, the new condition you describe, etc. Don't freak out. :smile: I think those of us here have a tendency to obsess over the small details, but your bag is a beauty! Truly, it's gorgeous! It's a classic Hermes Evelyne! Enjoy wearing it. If in doubt, enjoy it a little longer (carefully ) and sell it for more in a few years. ;)

I’ve had my Evelyne for a year now and I love the bag, it’s my go to travel and errand bag. But I have found many times the strap unlatching and bag falling off. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on keeping the strap on.

thanks!

Top clasp in picture, oldest type on Evelyne, and it often broke. Middle one is current one that sometime comes undone, as yours does. Bottom is most secure, but not available on this strap. I think they discontinued the first one because it broke and it is really a flaw that the middle one is not always secure. I had middle one come undone and Evelyne fall off my shoulder several times.

My Evelyne GM strap still comes undone every few days (just happened again today) even though Paris supposedly replaced the hardware. I have shoes in for repair at my local boutique. I plan to politely interrogate the after sales person about the Evelyne when I pick up the shoes. It's ridiculous for this to keep happening.
Crazy that Hermes cannot get a clip that is secure. The bottom one in my picture is the one that they put on the woven pattern straps. I think they need to use it on the Evelyne.

Yes I am looking for a strap with clips for my bag. I just can’t find a strap that I like that would match the color of my Evelyne (deep blue). It’s such a bummer because I really love this bag, and the annoying straps are what make me pause from adding another

I’m guessing this is only an issue with the larger evies? I have not encountered it with my tpm yet.
