“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

[sf_newyorker]

I’d been watching the resale market off-and-on for some time, looking at the Verrou shoulder bags. Most were epsom or a color I wouldn’t use enough to warrant purchasing. (I have several Epsom clutches and was hoping to find a Verrou in hunter leather.) Last Saturday, my SA texted me and I asked about a Baton de Craie shoulder bag, as she had showed me one once.... but none were available in a smooth leather. Then she texted a photo of this verrou. It arrived yesterday. I can’t believe my luck. First, the (cowgirl) Birkin fell into my lap (thanks to a fellow tpf’er) and now this in box leather. The Verrou is my version of a Constance....I am thrilled!

Congrats - this is lovely and elegant . The sheen of the box and hardware is remarkable. Your Verrou fits right in with all of your art.

Gorgeous and congrats! (A ladybag in Box is definitely on my long term wish list.)

How do you like the clasp? It is so pretty and I am curious about its ease of operation.

I have a vintage verrou clutch so I’m used to the latch. I’m very comfortable using it. It’s like a bolt that slides into a slot. It’s actually based on the latch on a stall door.

Halloween gift idea:
I have a lot of Christmas craft paper lying around for years. I used them as a package and drew ghost faces on top. Ready to give them out tomorrow so parents won't be worried for any kind of virus On the actual Halloween day. Ready to eat at that point.

congrats! I’m a huge Verrou lover. In black box it is perfection!

Black Box must be amazing! I tried to find a smooth leather Verrou last year but not so lucky. Enjoy and stay well!

My early Christmas will have to stay in the box for a while. But here are the pictures
The thing I have opened to reward myself for being so active and positive lately which is the strap. New strap for my Kelly.
A bucket hat, warmth up fleece for us.
I purchased the hat to match the fleece but now I think they might not go together.

Looked like you had a good shopping trip today . Love your new strap, a great matching to the Kelly.
How are you planning to style your hat? I like it too but afraid it’s too dressy for my casual wear.

No worries. The hat is very simple and casual. Go try and see if you like it.
