My pleasure. I quite enjoyed listening to the artisan (@MademoiselleM.Atelier on Instagram). I believe there is going to be a part 2 of their conversation answering some of the viewer questions about leather care and H spa information. I'll keep you posted.
Finally able to put all those goody bag trinkets that my kids bring home to good use
This was a fun activity, lol. Thank you @HeartHermes! Thoroughly entertained by this thread…keep ‘em coming.Attachments
I'd love it if you were willing to share this list, but completely understand if not.
Part two of the conversation with the Hermès artisan Marie is up on YouTube:
She shows one of the Birkins she made for herself and discusses some other interesting tidbits. Looks like there will be a part three coming.

This installment covers bag repairs, discontinued leathers and colors, inserts, and care tips.

Hermes fought off a 20 year attempt by LVMH to take them over. They successfully fended them off with family members pooling their stock.
I remember all the news about this. Makes me love Hermes even more.
Same, I assumed that they had been absorbed, so this makes me so happy. I decided to look into it because I remembered how hard LVMH was after them, and now I think I am going to buy some Hermes stock since it looks like a good purchase right now.
replying to my own post to add that Rouge Sanguine is another color that uses natural color stitching instead of tonal stitching!Starting a thread for people to share/discuss interesting factoids (or fallacies) they’ve heard or learned while shopping with Hermès over the years.
I’ll go first:
- Gold, Étoupe and Blue Jean are the only colors that use white contrast stitching instead of tonal switching (excluding SO’s)
- The Constance is more demanding in terms of craftsmanship than B or K
- All non-SO B’s are lined in chèvre mysore
I’m sure some of these might be common sense to the seasoned client but I still found these facts(?) interesting when I learned them. If any of these are not true, please let me know! Would love to hear from others to collectively expand our knowledge horizons
My husband and I visited the Hermes museum at the FSH store back in 2015 and our guide told me that the Evelyne was originally used to hold ducks that were shot after hunting. The perforations in the bag were to allow the blood to drain out. So I agree that it wouldn’t make sense to wear the bag with the perforations facing your body.
If Hermes was so adamant about people wearing the bag “the right way” with the H logo hidden, then I’m pretty sure the boutiques wouldn’t display the bag with the logo facing out which as I’ve seen is always the case.
