Hi guys!!! I need help. Do any of you have a C24? What are your thoughts? I was offered one in Bleu Izmir- one of my favorite H colors. I didn’t have this on my radar but I have a good friend who had her C strap modified so that she could carry her C crossbody. I thought that was a good idea. Pros and cons?

Both @footlocker and @pretty99 have C24s, I think. Maybe they can share their experiences.

I don't, but it did occur to me that a large C could be a good bag for guy.
I doubt Hermes modified your friend's shoulder strap (not that you suggested the modification was by Hermes).
Any non-Hermes changes like that would mean that Hermes would refuse to work on it in the future.
This would also seriously affect its future value.

Thank you!! Looking forward to hearing some thoughts from them!!

H did indeed modify my friend’s strap. There is a leather craftsman who works at this particular store (one of the largest stores in the US) and did the work himself.

He first looped a bolduc ribbon through the bag to determine length and then requested a strap with unfinished ends to be sent in that particular length.

Once the strap was in, she brought her bag to the boutique where the old strap was snipped and the new strap was sewn on. This was a C18.
 
I forgot to mention that the cost was around $500. The fact that H would do this is what is causing me to rethink the C24 in my life.
Yes H can modify straps for the owner if it is deemed suitable. Some of my straps have been custom shortened for me, because the craftsperson knows me and can see the bags sit way too low. Enable, enable.
