I love this photo. And the bag color!





They still have this bag! I was in Toronto twice last month and they have it in the storefront window with a gorgeous coat with fur trim. The color of this bag in person is absolutely breathtaking!! :drool:

Great colour on you :) BUT It looks too big on you :) 40HAC will be perfect :) You are the ONE carrying the bag, not the other way around... Graphite is a good colour but when you make it into anything bigger than 40 in Epsom it starts to look 'artificial' as the pressed coating for Epsom starts to act like LV Taïga leather... Fjord and Buffle are better choices IMHO as they are both durable and with fine grain.

Fjord is from a grown specimen and the leather fibre is cross-linked due to heat-treatment. So it is very durable but a little heavy. Buffle IMHO is an even better alternative as it is not as heavy, fine 'dramatic' yet subtle grain. The only draw-back is Buffle only available in Rouge H, Ebene & Noir (masculine colours :))

40 HAC in Rouge H or Ebene Buffle or Indigo in Fjord will be my next SO after the arrival of my Rouge H Clemence Evelyne GMIII

Cheers :)

Not at all! With H it's all about finding the perfect bags, not about getting them all or the "latest", to me anyways. =) It's also interesting seeing the different models in different environments. I'm not sure ho the gypsiere would work in a more formal setting for example. ;)

I absolutely agree with Liberté :) Different models suit different people's lifestyle. Hermès IS not a fad or an 'IT' item phenomenon ;) Most people acquire H are lovers of artisanal craftmanship, and their incredible quality of material.

I am actually NOT a frequent shopper... I hardly shop for clothes these day except at the H store in Toronto for classic staples... I want things that are classic in style and last a long time... MOST IMPORTANTLY subtle subtle subtle BUT with a whimsical colourful twist LOL... I am frugal with fast fad fashion BUT generous for well-made items that I KNOW WILL LAST ME A LIFETIME :)

I have a Cashmere Silk dress-shirt from H since 1995 and it looks just like new even to this day :)

Cheers :)

Hi there :),

If I were you, I would go to the Hermès Store to see it in person... They have two leather sample book and they update it every year :) I think Graphite is NOT available in Fjord (I can be wrong so don't quote me LOL)

As you can see from other guys pic.. the photos do not do their treasured items justice ;)

Cheers
