For those that replied and tried to help, thank you. I ultimately decided to buy the bag, but when I went to the seller to do so, they decided to keep it. They “fell in love with it all over.” What a crock if you ask me. My one and only attempt at buying something “preloved” has really soured me on the process. Planning a weekend getaway to the Ritz Boston Common, and an appointment at Hermès to get setup with a new SA, since my previous SA left last year. I’ll find a new bag of some sort at the boutique, and forget I ever attempted a foray into preloved secondhand goods. If anyone goes to Hermès Boston, and has an SA recommendation, I’m all ears. I’ll miss Sally, but gotta move forward.

I think we shop at the same store. I also miss Sally who I worked with for about 8 years. If you need a recommendation for a new SA in Boston, DM me.
I know the bag is no longer available but I do want to ease your mind about buying things from sources other than the store. Various SAs at different H stores have told me that if I see something I love somewhere other than their store I should buy it because there is never a guarantee they will be able to get it for me. Often things are available on H.com briefly and need to be scooped up right away or things may be discontinued or extremely hard to find at retail so need to be purchased from the secondary market. I think most SAs understand this fact of H life.

You should copy and paste this to the Maintaining a H Relationship thread.
It might knock a bit of common sense into people.
 
Here’s a few shots of my first outing with my Kelly Cut in Vert Fonce Crocodile Porosus with GHW.

It’s quickly becoming my favorite bag/clutch. I love being able to carry it by it’s handle or quickly throw it under my arm when I need to use both hands. I also sometimes clench it close to my chest for some impromptu cuddle time whilst walking down the streets of SF.

Surprisingly, I’ve yet to name them. Open to suggestions.

Patiently waiting for the matching croc embossed vert fonce nails :blush:
 
@netinvader I love your bag. In case of being hands free and putting it under your arm, do you think the length of the bag makes it easier to use than a small clutch?

And I am very cliché so for a name I'd suggest Classy Kermit. Because it just is and since Fashion Week Frog's instagram, Kermit has never been the same.

Thank you!!! @Egel —The exaggerated length definitely makes it easier to hold than my Jige mini. Not only does it feel more secure but the additional surface area enables you to carry it in different ways than a smaller clutch.

I feel it also gives me a lot of flexibility in terms of playing with proportions —especially since I’m not very tall. This could also work very well for someone who is taller!

Maybe I’ll make a post about all the different ways I carry/hold my Kelly Cut…

Anyway, let’s talk about that name… I absolutely love your suggestion and I’m going with Kermit!
 
I always advocate due diligence, being alert and midful not to present oneself as a target for crime.
However recently it has brought me up short and saddened me to read some of your comments referring to these dangers being so prevalent where you live. Perhaps naively, some of us would not think that it would be such a problem in a city like yours.

I'm not very tall either, so a post about playing with proportions is very welcome. Long clutches remind me of satc and I got so caught up in the mini bag craze that I forgot they were even a thing untill The Pouch was a thing.

I really like your style (and your bags) so I'm honored that you like my suggestion.

If you're still taking on names the bag reminds me of a fine German wine. Warm with depth. Elegant and beautiful. But without pretension. Maria Anunciata.

Steve Irwin = “The Crocodile Hunter” and would name him… “Crikey” fit for an amazing piece - me thinks! ✌️
