Can I parachute in, since I have 1 pop of color among a sea of black and neutral bags? A ‘royal’ blue is a good start. I can wear my blue iris with everything. It’s a great jewel tone that depending on lighting it, can look like a bright blue or almost navy.
I think which bright color will work best for you will depend on what you wear to begin with. In my experience, this is color has been like denim: goes with everything. I love wearing neutrals and black. My future pops of color are: red (neutral and bright or slightly brick toned), emerald green (or vert foncé, though not a bright color) and yellow (light like mimosa or darker like jaune ambre).
Hi there @blondissima777 we meet here again! Yes of course, thanks for chiming in, the more the merrier! Talking about blue, while researching on hermes colours, I did shortlist blue as one of my ‘to add’ colours, specifically blue electrique. (Going all out, aren’t I? :biggrin:) is your blue iris an ostrich? :love: I seem to remember blue iris only come in exotic, please correct me if I’m wrong.
Due to the all too familiar quota on bags per year, and therefore having to think thru all decisions very carefully, I’m also considering to add a gris asphalt Kelly first. Or if anyone has intel on rose Sakura birkin this year..? Decisions decisions :no:

Yes, mine is ostrich, but it was just to use the color as a starting point. Blue electric is definitely all in and it sounds wonderful!
I always go from ‘wear the most’ to ‘wear the least’ when I’m trying to prioritize my wishlist.
Funny that you mention the Gris A Kelly. I love neutrals, walked in wanting a Gris T Birkin and the minute I was shown the Blue Iris, my knees buckled lol
I got an Etoupe after, but that day, the box that lit up when they opened it, was the blue bag! :wtf:
So you never know until you see it...
 
Here’s my collection in 2 different types of light. Need a B30 and a BBK and maybe an Evelyne Tpm!

this! so helpful. i realise the thing is, i tend to be attracted to bags which are beautiful but which i don't necessary use often. trying to break out of this cycle by putting in more thoughts into my new buys this year.
I can totally imagine the beautiful surprise when you first look at your blue birdie :heart: how i wish my SA can give me surprises like that!! :lol:
I'm trying to talk myself out of buying similar coloured bags, but i am aware that you have a big collection of beautiful black bags! do you rotate them often?

I’m not one to talk. Funnily enough, the blue was the first, Etoupe 2nd and after that it’s been one black slippery slope hahaha I rotate among different ‘black’ bags, oops! Ok, Aubergine is not black, but almost...
What can I say, I have different black bags for different occasions, different leathers for different weathers, different carrying needs, they just happen to be a similar color ;)
To be on subject, here’s a partial lineup of the usual suspects :D
(Sorry about the bad picture)

GOSH THE BLUE ONE :heart::heart::heart: you're absolutely right about the blue iris!! its so breathtaking. and I can totally understand why it can be a perfect neutral. so dreamy!
Back to the reason that I'm asking about your black collection is because i currently have an etain 28 kelly retourne PHW, but still want a GA kelly 25 retourne GHW. back of my mind says too similar, but i suppose if I'm a neutral lover, never too many neutral bags, right? :P PLUS, i can't imagine missing out on gris asphalt! too pretty.
thanks for always putting my thought straight, by the way. you have ALWAYS been such a great help :drinks:

Thank you very much! :hbeat:
By all means get the GA! They’re different neutrals, sizes and hardware; you’re totally justified!
When you wear a certain something, the right variations of it will never go unused on your wardrobe. Just look at your previous most used bags as a starting point for size, color and style and adapt it to right now in case your lifestyle has changed, etc.

great!! thanks for the vote for GA. I'm definitely nudging my SA in this direction :lol:
for this year I probably wanna take it slow and steady, so as much as I wish to add a coloured bag to my collection, that probably have to take a backseat for now. don't wanna tumble too fast down this slippery H slope (is that even possible??:giggle:) will be here admiring your blur iris :love:

Coming to TPF after what seems like ages... truly inspired by all the amazing collections posted here... there’s a reason why we call Hermes a slippery [emoji521] slope [emoji28]

I am always torn between my love for neutrals and pops of colors which resulted in the following pics [emoji4] ... my neutrals

And then there were my pops of colors!

Have a blessed day everyone!
Absolutely breathtaking, gorgeous eye candy! What a well thought out/curated collection! Great diversity of colours and styles! Thank you for sharing your beautiful bags!
Edited to add: I keep coming back to a comment you made about knowing which colours you wanted before you decided on the specific bag. Thanks for sharing that thought provoking idea. I think I have always picked the bag first then the colour/leather. Something for me to reflect on. :thinking:

If I can step in. I have an etain birkin phw and a GT kelly ghw. The etain reads as grey/ cool and the GT reads as beige/ warm. They are my two most used bags. GA is very similar to GT. I think the combinations that you have in mind will work well and are not duplicative.
