Thank you all! I’m very fortunate to have found her, and grateful to Hermes craftsmanship. She’s my treasure!
I would suggest you call your local store and ask what colours they have. Also if you have a specific colour in mind but not sure of the shade they can certainly tell you what’s available. Good luck! My first bag was an Evelyne too and I still love it. So versatile and fun to use.
love the appliqué idea, but Im not in love with it... I want to love it though
I just wish they used more colors! I would love to see this design with warmer colors like reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks!
One of the earlier looks showed it on a top in rust, lemon and greys, but the collection was predominantly much more sombre after that. I think there were just two colour ways on the HACs and they were quite brightly coloured alongside their accompanying coats.
I sent them a message and they said they had 4 colors in stock. I like the colors BUT I'm not sure I love those colors. I've made an appointment to go and try them on along with the Garden Party as well.
My only concern is that...I COULD wait and get a Lady Dior Medium OR I could get the Evelyne (maybe Garden Party). I like the structure of the Dior and I'm not as crazy about the Evelyn's shape but I know that Hermes is the end all be all of bags. When I tried on the Dior bags, it felt amazing so hopefully I'll feel that with the Hermes bags.
I'm conflicted.
When in doubt don't. Please don't be offended but:
You are trying to convince yourself to buy something for the wrong reasons.
You have got to honest with yourself.
Looking back at all you have written, it is full of uncertainty and shows your motivation is all wrong.
You don't love the colours. You are not crazy about the Evelyne shape. You are only interested in Hermes because others think it is the 'end all be all'.
Three good reasons not to waste your money.
They are why you are conflicted.

You're right. I sat down and thought about it long and hard the past two days and reflected about why I wanted a bag. The heavy duty and excellent craftsmanship is what I need.
Truthfully, the more I thought about what you said, the more I remembered and realized WHY I wanted the Evelyne or Garden Party. I NEED a bag to replace my old satchel. If I go with something Dior, it won't suit what I need. The Evelyne's shape and size are what I need to carry my books and whatever I buy while I'm out. It can be my "take with me everywhere bag" and be both stylish and sophisticated. The colors, it turns out, are the same colors the other bag I wanted come in. I have a little while longer to wait until I can buy it, but it'll give me time to decide on the color and it'll be the sweetest thing.
Thank you for your help. You were truly great and helped me make up my mind.
I am relieved to read that you took my comments in the spirit in which they were intended.
Were you trying one of the new grained calfskin Lady Dior bags? Those are stunning! Have you seen @Prada Prince 's Lady Dior (https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/dudes-and-their-diors.784718/page-93#post-31788315)?
I wouldn't get a bag that I'm not in love with just because it is from the most luxurious brand for leather goods. I got my Dior VIII ceramic automatic watch a few years ago and the price I paid could've gotten me an entry-level Rolex. I actually looked at those too, since I felt that Dior wasn't truly a watch company and I already had a few Dior watches (not the VIII, though). I wondered if should buy something from the most well-known watch brand instead, especially if the price point was so close. I ended up getting the VIII, and to this day, my heart skips a beat when I stop to look at the watch when I'm wearing it. I wouldn't have the same feelings for the Rolex.
Well said!!! If it don’t make your heart flutter, it isn’t worth the price you pay!
Out and about with my ombré lizard Collier de Chien and bi-colour Rodeo...
Bought a briefcase last weekend: F/W 18 Etriviere Meeting II in all black! The leather for this season’s version is in negonda. This joins another of the same style in maron fonce fjord I purchased 5 years ago.
