My ebene Sikkim got quite beat up and just came back from spa looking like new... So I think it is more durable than we all thought. Hermes bag and leather are very well made and I wouldn't worry about weight or anything scratches on it. If you dont use it, why buy it? Just enjoy!

wow..good to know that the bag can take a beating! and the spa does miracles...maybe soon to take the bag out once the weather in DC becomes more stable :-)

Many thanks for your reply Reza. I'll try to look for the HAC when im in EU next. I just bought the Kelly Relax and will toy with it for now. I hope I'd be able to find the HAC as easy as I did with Kelly Relax.

Do you stuff the Kelly Relax? Will it loose it's shape if I don't? This is my first H bag so I'm not too experienced with it. From what I read, the leather Veau Sikkim is quite delicate.

We are truly in a same boat! how funny. I am very good with my stuff, never abusive, but I do not let a Hermes bag dictate my live so to speak. I will work around it to a point :-). On gym days, I wouldn't take the bag with me, especially if temperatures are warm, e.g. summers..and let the bag cook inside the car! I use Meltonian leather polish like no tomorrow to keep the leather in pristine condition, and I do carry a lot of stuff with me, and the bag holds up well.

I never let the bag sit on pavement or public floors, that is not carpeted, don't like the idea of my bag absorbing public germs..hehe

I am careful not to have any lose pens, chewing gums or so either. I have a gorgeous leather victoria toiletry bag I got in NY which I carry my lose things in one consolidated area...comes actually quite handy, especially when changing bags...and all...

I closed the hardware carefully by aligning the closure properly, again, it has been sitting in storage than being actually used :-). Don't think the structure becomes weaker, since the bag is structure less. I just make sure I leather condition it often when in use to keep the leather subtle. I would think if there is a choice, I would think not too overload the bag like stuffing a piece of luggage...it is not a carry on....

The bag is indeed heavy but on the flip side, it's a Hermes and not a wooden cross I'm carrying :)

To me, it's more about the occasion/outfit and attitude than whether the color is 'right' for a guy.

I wouldn't mind going around with a brightly colored Birkin (but only 40 and above please) if it's not out of place where i'm going.

But definitely not the pink family. It's way too feminine.

I also heard HAC will not be produce in any size 40 and under. H is trying to keep it in larger size and for luggage usage only. I did saw a press model of Helium and it super light however it's too big for daliy usage. Sighed!!!

The Kelly Relax 50CM does not come with a box, they don't make boxes that big. Nor does the HAC 40 and above or the BIRKIN 50.

What do you guys think of men carrying colored birkins instead of the usual black/brown/grey? I am loving how Pharrel carried an orange birkin! Any thoughts?

I love carrying my Orange B40. However only when I dressed in natural color clothing though.
