Thank you! I feel the exact same way, but I love the ease of carry of the mens saddle
I think you should follow your heart! You look amazing in GHW

If you're getting the same 32 mm belt kit again, then I suggest the palladium. The gold, even in guilloche, would look the same in pictures and from afar.
If you still want gold, then I suggest the Constance 38 mm belt kit instead. At least the H is different. That one isn't available in guilloche finish, though.
That’s the logical part of me agreeing with that.
Annoyingly, my brushed gold buckle has some scratches on it, which I know can’t really be seen unless one is up close to it (in which case, I’d be saying to back it up a bit LOL).
But I’d just be annoyed that the new Palladium one would be pristine, whilst the gold one that I currently have, which is my first love, isn’t. I don’t know if I’m making much sense, but that’s an insight into this pea brain of mine.
Makes sense, although eventually a palladium one would get scratches too. Inevitable part of wearing it, even if we're careful.
I just think that a palladium one will help you match more looks, should you want to pair more silver hardware together in your look, including your black Birkin 40. And I would suggest getting it in a totally different belt color combination than the Gold/black one you have (I'm assuming the other side of your belt is black).
Oh yeah I’d definitely get a different belt colour combination so that I can swap around between the buckles and straps.
I sold my black B40 the moment I got my B35. I can’t ever imagine going back to such a huge bag after getting the B35 tbh.
I vote pallidum as well for variety. Unless youre just loyal to GHW then I get it.
@fonnas,
+1 with @ryanx28, @allanrvj, @averagejoe, and others in admiration of your kelly danse evelyn hack (in fact I would like to copy it if I may)
query as to whether you, and others on the thread, are also considering the HAC a dos?
I carry the mens dior saddle with adjustable airline strap, and I was thinking either your danse/ evelyn combo or the HAC a dos might be a bag that DH and I could share. (we have not tried one on, bc the manager on the mens store madison said that they requested 40 units and only received 10).
DH’s aesthetic is 33 Evelyne sellier when he needs to carry a folder (his H briefcase is too heavy) or a valextra tric trac when he is going light. My SA was also able to get him the so black chypres (but no joy for me). He loves the chypres, but when he is walking for a bit longer, he prefers the Manolo sandals from last year.

I am not drawn to it, although nice reuse of the HAC 40 hardware.
I like bags with a handle and a strap, so I'm very happy with my Prada Brique bag in spazzolato. And that's why my next bag is going to be a Kelly 28.
I second @allanrvj that a Prada Brique would be a great option for you to share with DH, @880 . Have you considered the new Prada Triangle mens crossbody? That one is pretty great, and gives me the mens saddle vibes.
Thank you so much! And of course re the Madison SAs (though ours comes from across the street, all of us adore the mens manager)
@allanrvj , you will rock a kelly 28. I remember many years ago, your pics convinced me that I needed an orange CSGM bolduc au carre (which DH ended up wearing)
thank you
Extremely OT, but for New Yorkers, DH loves leffot down on 10 Christopher st. DH’s belts are from Duret (Duret.com for those not able to order with Leffot NY or who wish to deal with Duret directly) and his recent Lefotte Corthay trunk show purchase with Oreo soles (@Christofle loves Corthay too). And for @averagejoe, my dior SA encouraged me just to try on for fun, the new silver mens exotic saddle bag

I'm often at Leffot! Hope to see you there sometime!
will go take a look! Thank you for the suggestion! Perhaps we will see you at Leffot! Am very fond of the proprietor
Hey guys, what do we think of this Rodeo Pégase combo with Etain? Bleu Brume / Chai / Cuivre.
Just testing and getting ideas. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Just testing and getting ideas. Any other suggestions are welcome.
I love this combination. I think the blue is striking against the Etain, and Bleu Brume is such a divine colour. The Chai and Cuivre sets off nicely against the Etain.
To be honest, I wouldn't really like the main body of the Rodeo to be in the same colour as the bag, so I wouldn't really recommend an Etain Rodeo. For darker bags, I definitely prefer lighter Rodeos.
When I got my SA to find me a Rodeo Pegase that goes well with my B35, he chose one which had Craie as the main body and Mauve Pale wings, which provides a great contrast against the darker bag, but with a Vert Cypres mane and tail to match it back to the VC B35.
Thank you. I think I will tell my SA to work on this RP for me. I genuinely never seen a Rodeo or RP with Mane and Tail in Etain. I've actually not seen anything in Etain on a Rodeo or RP. Has anyone else? But I agree, I also like the Blue Brume against Etain
Same as @Prada Prince, I also like it when my rodeos/geegees have nothing to do with the bag colors themselves, precisely because to me, they're meant to offer an additional pop. I think your choice look great!Thank you. I think I will tell my SA to work on this RP for me. I genuinely never seen a Rodeo or RP with Mane and Tail in Etain.

Depending on your favorite colors and outfits, as darkhorse (pun) candidates, I'm also really into the orange based colorways these days, especially against darker bags, partly as an homage to the H brand, and partly because they're a good mix of masculine and fun.
