I think it's more practical than a Kelly Depeche. I prefer the sac a depeche style a bit more. Id save the Kelly/Birkin style for a HAC 40.

In terms of colours, looking at the link from Meta, it would depend on what my options are. My country is still in a strict COVID lockdown, so I won't make it to the store for another month or so.

1) VERSO option: If I'm allowed to choose a togo exterior colour and a colour from the lining options I'd choose Vert Rousseau exterior (white stitching) with a blue electrique/saphir chèvre interior. If not, and I had to choose two colours from the Togo chart id choose Blue Zellige as an interior (something bright)

2) MULTI colour option: I think I would only be allowed to choose two togo colours, and not two togo colours and a lining colour from the separate lining chart. If so, id probably still stick to Vert Rousseau bag and Blue Nuit (handle/clochette)

Im not set on anything but I can see myself pretty confidently ordering a bag in: (Then with a bright interior)
1) Vert Rousseau
2) Blue Nuit

Id stay away from light colours for the exterior as ill be using it most days of the week.

Please let me know what you all think/suggestions. Any tips would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

Thanks Pete! That is personal, but I really like the option for vert rousseau plus blue electric interior. In my case I am thinking about a Kelly depeches but not sure if like any of the SO color. If could choose one color would be vert amande. But for the SO chart I plan multicolor:
if Togo principal color vert Rousseau and secondary gris tourtuelle or principal rouge Sellier and secondary blue nuit.
If Epsom, principal blue glacier and secondary gris aspahte or blue saphir.
Any recomendation guys? To be honest I am nothing sure. Blue glacier is one of my favorite color but maybe is too pale and informal for a briefcase. And the other colors are not my favorite. In some pics I like vert Rousseau but in others I feel is too dark

I need advise for a Kelly depeches 36. Blue glacier or ver Rousseau? I am afraid blue glacier is too delicate color. But opposite with vert rousseau, maybe too dark? In my local store they have the leather sample of blue glacier but not vert Rousseau, so I couldnt see that color on person. I would appreciate your comments. Probably I will do bicolor version anyway but one of these both will be the principal color

You model it very well and make it look more 'to die for' than ever.
I have recently seen a similar vintage barenia plume a did not take the plunge, because I wondered how easy is the style to use? Plumes are wonderfully understated examples of Hermes, but I have been put off by the zip half way down the middle of the side.

I'm sure your instinct that blue glacier would be an impractical colour (I think that's what you mean) is right. That does not mean that vert rousseau would be the 'right' choice either. It is dark, and in some ways its darkness is greater because it is a colour - not black, which is no colour.
Nonetheless it would be very desirable - especially with a dramatic interior!

Having had my Fourre-tout 40 for almost a year now, I have found it super practical as a to/from work bag.

Once I worked out that the easiest way to open the zipper is by holder the opposite pull tab as you open, all was well with the world! This could be due to mine being Butler and therefore super soft and mallleable.

I can also handle one-handed opening by putting the handles over my arm and then unzipping and reaching in.

For a fairly streamlined bag, it offers plenty of space!

for me it's very easy to use and I wouldn't have wanted it with the zipper going all the way to the bottom of the sides (also for that style I think it's usually made with two zipper pulls; this has just one). while carrying it, I could easily open it with one hand on the handle and the other one pulling the zipper open. unlike the HAC (which I previously had), this is very generous with interior pockets. one side has a two gusseted pockets, and the other side has one large pocket.

it's my first time to have an H bag with a zipper and it's a revelation. it glides like butter. I remember many years ago getting an LV runway piece and the zipper stayed stubborn even after months of use (even after the pencil and candle trick) that I eventually sold it.
