Hey!

I have. Here are pics from the Pochette I just got -

I have to exchange it anyway because there is a scuff on the leather. I loved it. Wanted it. But now I am thinking whether I will use it much or not. On the other hand, the long wallet I would use daily.

Never owned an Hermes piece before.

Hey gentleman!

I have a quick question: do any of you own the citizen twill wallet or one of the long wallets? I purchased a Pochette Voyage from LV and thinking of returning it and getting an Hermes long wallet instead.

Depending on which leather you get, the Hermes wallet will last much, much longer than any LV and stay in better shape. Coated canvas will scuff and the silk screen (print) will come off with time epsecially on wallets. Same with the taiga or epi leather, it'll show corner wear eventually and since it's an empossed leather there's only so much that can be done about it.

if you go for let's say barenia the product will develop patina and darken, but you can probably hand it down to your kids without any visible marks or changes outside the patina. Just avoid epsom, chevre and bright colors in general.

I think it's important to find the size that works for you. For me the longs wallets are too... long.

Very strange and interesting comparison
A pouch against a wallet
If you think a wallet is of better use vs multi purpose pouch
Get the h wallet then
Very masculine cut for citizen twill

It will be available in other regular leathers (novillo, I think) which are not push offer

So thank you all for the birthday wishes and, without further ado, let me present to you my new Sac À Dépêches Light 37 Noir Togo with brushed palladium hardware, alongside Last Night 01 in prune/gris/bubblegum.

And what a lovely bag it is too - super lightweight, really classic yet wonderfully contemporary. It had it's first day out today and has been a pleasure. And despite being very thin, I managed to fit plenty when necessary, whilst also being easy to carry under the arm when both arms are needed. The sheer expanses of Togo with very little detailing really are a joy for the senses.

I had a choice of the noir/brushed palladium and bleu nuit with inlaid leather onto the front of the hardware. I eventually decided noir was a little more classic and I liked the hardware making an appearance, without being too obtrusive in the brushed finish. Plus... I have a little something blue on horizon for this semester, so thought it best not compete!

Comparing the SAD Light to the CityHall that we've recently been discussing, this is a more carefree, less formal bag, but one that is less capacious and perhaps a little more showy than the very discreet CityHall. with the more obvious hardware, even if the satchel design is more classic. Both are beautiful bags, but for subtly different uses and occasions.

Thrilled for you!

Cross-posting with the thread about latest purchases:
Still no Chartreuse Awooo or Brazilian Horses to be found. Neither are the caps with lamb skin visors found on the US site...
So instead got myself those 2:

Could have posted the tie in the “addiction” thread as, in fact, I don’t have to wear them at work. Just can’t resist buying them for some reason...

That's a beautiful etriviere shopping bag you got right there.
I'm also looking for the cap with lambskin visor but unfortunately the store here only has the cloth ones. :(

It appears the leather caps are from the SS season. Was told they’re not planning on getting anymore in now.
Going to Germany the week after next. Will check the airport’s and the local H shops.
Most frustrating is that it was on the UK website but I hesitate too long. The US site has 2 models but I don’t want them that much that I’m prepared to pay that much more to get them.

I think I saw the chartreuse color in Brussels. I can't remember if it was yellow or chartreuse, because I sadly can't wear those colors anyways and didn't pay attention, but you might want to try there if they pick up the phone. If not, good luck in Germany!
