They don’t make cows like they used to.
Sorry about the other pics. They must have gotten clicked on when I was scrolling for the other one…it said “load 1 pic”

I thought the other pics were a camo post - find the hidden H bag.
Especially since the picture with the sleeping kitty has a Rouge H'ish color in the throw and pillow. 
Here’s my vintage Rouge H Kelly out for lunch on Christmas Eve. She’s 42years old and has seen better days but I love her.
apologies for the messy ‘Twilly” the handle really needs replacing so this is my ‘make do and mend’ as I’d prefer to put that money towards another vintage bag. I tend to agree that Rouge H these days to my eyes just isn't as magical.

Reposting my 1977 C23 in Rouge Hermes Box, which came along with me on errands in the New Year. When it came to me quite a while back, all I had to do was send the bag to Hermes to have the plastic plate on the clasp replaced as it was cracked. The artisan really admired it and although the leather is a little dry I think the bag has really lived and been loved. It had a faint perfume scent which has since faded.

Its so funny to me as an older person hearing 2000 described as 'Vintage' (though I realise it was 22 years ago) To me it feels like last week!!!
+1. Especially when your kids were born before that. Does that make my son vintage too?
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling 20 years plus is considered vintage. No need to apologise!
It’s just funny to hear, when as an older person (50 now eek!) that my children are now vintage and I think I may be an antique
Either way, it’s a lovely bag!
It is…any bag 20+ years old is considered vintage. We were just making fun of/commenting on/putting perspective to that number.
I'm echoing what the other posters said..I wasn't passing judgement on your bag's vintage credentials But thinking how OLD I feel..yes I suppose I'm officially an antique!
