My Kelly Depeches 25 in Black Galop d’Hermès cowhide.

There’s not much information out there about Galop d’Hermès leather, but from my initial observations it seems to be similar to Ardennes leather.

Feel free to watch, read, or contribute to this thread that I started, so we may hopefully compile more information about it!

This is beautiful. And it photographs so well Are you going to hold it in your hand most of the time or attempt to add a strap to convert it to a crossbody bag?

I’m planning on mostly using it as a crossbody for day…BUT one of my main motivators in getting this bag is knowing I can reattach the wrist strap for evening use.

I love it! Is it bad I’m already thinking of my next leather or color in it? Haha
 
DH is thinking about this
PORTEFEUILLE SAC POCHENPLUS, barenia Faubourg
strap is not adjustable. It’s really only a crossbody. concealed Zip on top.
about 2600 USD I think

I would say just keep thinking about.
(Hope that is all he did) He is one of the few people who could pull it off. But It is one thing standing there modelling and something quite different trying to use it in real life.
The strap needs to be adjustable then the bag can be positioned exactly where it would be most convenient and to paraphrase famous the famous words used by Mies et al, form will follow function.

Thanks. He really was reluctant. And our SA wasnt exactly a fan either. I was the one who thought it was great. Lol.

I never understand why Hermes is crap about making straps not adjustable. Joking asking this is $hit, condescending and inconsiderate to little people. Not everyone has a runway model height. Same goes for the Evelyn TPM. Not adjustable. Glad he passed.
 
In the market for a wallet and wondering if anyone could tell me whether the Bearn wallet could serve as a passport wallet. I am in need of a passport wallet with at least 5 (ideally 7 but will compromise) credit card slots.
I just tried, and unfortunately using the main cash pocket pushes the passport too much to the left so the wallet never fully closes.

Perhaps try a dogon duo

ETA: Was the bearn a slimmer profile to fit into an inner jacket pocket?
my passport will also fit into a kelly longue wallet (as will my IPhone 14).
I don’t know if it will all fit into an azap, but I seem to recall teh azap has similar capacity as the KL.
Or a mini jige (but then you will not have card slots.
DH loves carrying our passports and many other things in his sac a depeches 21,
and I’ve carried them in a TPM Evelyne But of course not wallets

Gents, could I ask for your advise on bag sizes please?

I’ll be in Paris for a couple of days and I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up but one better comes prepared, right?

I am 5‘9 or 1.74m and not slim (see picture in my first Hermes outfit for reference).

I was always dreaming about a HAC cargo which I believe would be a 40 and was also thinking about the Birkin in either 40 or 35. The HAC32 is not more, correct?

I don’t want the bag to look like a travel bag. It should be possible to bring it to the office, so needs to fit my laptop and I’d don’t want to look ridiculous when I take it for dinner and or drinks after work.

What size would you recommend?

A Cargo Birkin, or Birkin 40 would work best I think.
The HAC only comes in a 40 now..
I think a HAC 32 would be too small for you I think..I'm a 5'3" female and Hac 32 is perfect for me.
Like your style btw
