Okay, I'd like you guys (and gals) to weigh in. Bought this second hand from a reputable reseller - first pre-loved HAC. Well, actually first pre-loved Hermes. It's a 36 cm, I'm not sure which of the many rouges it is, but I'm sure the brilliant Mrs. Giles will fill me tomorrow when I send in for authentication/market value - it's raining here in North Carolina and she prefers photos in natural sunlight so I must wait until the rain stops. I wanted a 36 cm because as much as I love my 40 it really is too large (personally, for me) to tote to my employer's many different offices. I wanted rouge because I'm fun like that, but am now second guessing my decision. I wanted box calf because I want to beat the @#$% out of it without worrying about scratches and surface rubs, this is especially true given that it's already used AND I paid about 50% of new retail for a comparable Birkin/HAC in this size. I've been eyeing it for months and finally made a pretty low offer after it failed to sell, I assume because it's quite a large bag for a female and the color is...unusual for a male. I have not removed the security tag yet because I'm not entirely sure I'm keeping it. Please give me thoughts on color and appropriateness for work-related outings.

I think it’s quite stunning! The color is gorgeous and my favorite thing about the HAC models is that it’s a more north/south shape. I like taller bags.

Honestly given that you are in NC might I be wrong to assume that carrying a bag would be more "surprising" to some than the fact that it's red? I would almost consider the color a neutral, at least for being outside the navy/black/brown spectrum even for a guy. It's beautiful.

Yes, you would be wrong to assume that. I live in the largest city in the state and region. We all have teeth here.
