Hello,
I have just returned from Paris where I purchased the 2002 bag in size 20 vert verone. I was originally looking for a kelly 25 or a constance 18 which they did not have in the George V store (I was unsuccessful in getting an appointment in FSH). The sales associate brought out this bag and I just loved the color so much! However, I am usually someone who plans and researches their bag purchases and this bag was not on my radar at all. After going back and forth for a while, I decided to purchase the bag. After I left, I started to feel a bit of regret - wondering if I made the right decision. I am now trying to decide if I should keep the bag or sell it and use it toward another bag on my wishlist - the chanel small boy or Celine box bag (both are much less expensive than this bag, especially the Celine). The chances of me finding a kelly or constance here in the US in my home store are practically none and I don't want to pay more on the resale market. I am not sure how much I could sell this bag for given it is a less recognizable H style, but would hope not to lose too much money since it was substantially less in Paris vs the US.
The other Hermes bags in my collection are a B30 in blue indigo and jige clutch in indigo with lizard trim, so I was excited about adding a pop of color to my collection. Other than Hermes, my most used bags are chanel reissue 225 and chanel mini flaps.
Things I love about the bag - the color is a beautiful rich green color. The bag feels so incredibly well made, the craftsmanship is amazing. It's comfortable to wear and feels pretty roomy inside. The strap is adjustable for crossbody or shoulder wear.
Things I'm unsure of - The bag is a different shape than I am used to and I'm not sure it suits me as much or if I'm just not used to it yet. It was very expensive and I'm feeling a little guilty for spending the money on a bag that wasn't on my wishlist.
Here are some pics of the bag along with some pics of me trying the chanel and Celine bags. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!!
