Ode to the Roulis

As happens many times, I went in search of a Magnolia small H bag, thinking I would get a (4th!) mini Evie. No joy. And then I found my true love Magnolia Swift mini Roulis in phw!!! I was absolutely stunned when I found this bag, the swift in magnolia is absolutely lovely glowing pink leather and feels so sumptuous. I have loved swift for years, as my first H was a swift bracelet, and when I saw this one, I knew she was mine. I wouldn’t want a larger swift bag, but this structured small one was perfect.

I use bags about this size for dog walks and running errands or casual meals out, and here is the perfect pink for that. I love my B’s, K, and TPM’s, but this mini Roulis has been laying in wait for me, perhaps my second favorite style after my B’s

It is so non fussy and holds everything I need. I added inserts from Zoomoni, my favorite non-MaiTai inserts for small bags in the silky new fabric. I also ordered a custom wheat braided phw strap extender from Mautto (shout out to them, it is perfect) for the perfect crossbody wear for me.

Can you tell I’m in love?!💖 it feels a “where have you been all my life” bag to me!! Happy Saturday!

We’re twinning on this beauty. Congratulations, it is incredibly special in Magnolia Swift. I’ve had mine for nearly 2 years now and it still brings me incredible joy every time I open my bag closet.

This is gorgeous on you. A pop neutral :smile:

@DrTr , I love your mini roulis! Congrats!
I like the idea of a pop neutral!

I have started following the Tibi style classes but I still struggle a little with their color theory. Their theory distinguishes between “pops” of color, color that is in between and neutrals - and it is making me see my pop color bags in a new light. Something does not have to be beige or black for it to go with many parts of a wardrobe :smile:
 
So happy to hear that!! Love to see more folks in the Roulis club! :love:
Thank you - don’t know how I didn’t truly notice this bag until recently.
This is gorgeous on you. A pop neutral :smile:

@DrTr , I love your mini roulis! Congrats!
Thanks so much @880! 💖
Simply beautiful! 💕
Thank you, @periogirl28, your exotic mini Roulis was also an inspiration! 💖

Yay twin! It truly is so special, this leather in Magnolia just glows! So glad 2 years gone you still love it. Such H color is so joyful, and I’ve been wearing it non-stop since I got it. Thank you 💗

Unbelievable! Thank you so much @Meta for posting! I rushed over to h.com after I saw your note and it was already gone in probably 15 minutes. The mini Roulis is my second favorite H bag, and Rose poupre is one of my top five colors! This bag is absolutely stunning🩷🩷🩷
 
I posted my first mini Roulis here in late summer. I also believe I posted my second one in the what’s your latest H purchase thread. I thought I would cross post here since this is the ode thread.

I am loving this bag so much along with its brighter sister. I had also seen a kind TPFr (in 2019) post her anemone mini roulis with an H chain d’ancre bracelet as a strap extender. So that bracelet had been on my mind for several months. As I need a longer Crossbody strap, it was the perfect extender.

My Mauve sylvestre in swift, phw with her bracelet extender. I’m still on cloud 9 from these 2 unbelievable finds!

Ok guys please forgive me if I’m not getting it but is Hermes producing the Roulis again. I thought it was discontinued
 
Hello fellow Roulis owners,

I purchased a Roulis Mini, Swift leather in Gris Pale in 2023. I have yet to use it because of the light color and Swift leather, I don’t want to babysit the bag. Can someone help share your experience with it and how it is holding up?

Thank you in advance.

Hello - I got 2 mini Roulis this year in August, both in swift. One is mauve sylvestre, one is magnolia. I adore them both, love swift leather and they’ve both been used multiple times. Mauve sylvestre is a pretty light color, and I’ve had zero issues with color transfer on either. The swift leather is beautiful, and looks brand new still. As my bags are small I use them to walk my dog, to run errands and for casual meals out. I got one tiny fingernail scratch on the magnolia one, it rubbed right out. I also spilled several drops of iced tea on the lighter one, and it wiped right off, no spot or stain. Both bags are holding up beautifully!

I know your bag is lighter in color, but I suspect if you are careful not to wear it against new dark colors it might do as well as mine. It’s a beautiful bag, I hope you wear it soon!! My two are among my top 3 favorite H styles, and the swift leather is absolutely gorgeous and soft and luminous. And the flap is so easy to get in and out of - I don’t like fussy clasps and this bag holds all I need and I can easily access my things. Let us see it if you take it out!! It’s gorgeous!

Do you find the clasp secure enough? Will things fall out if you bend over
