My latest acquisition: the R.M.S. Card holder in Bleu Nuit. A small masterpiece in my opinion. I had purchased the R.M.S. Passport Holder in Gold and love it, so I splurged on this smaller relative and it is fast becoming one of my favorite Hermès pieces. View attachment 5851010

Beautiful indeed.. love your color. For me it’s exactly the other way around. Startet with this card holder and now I am so happy with it, that the passport cover is very tempting :loveeyes:

Thanks for all the feedback. I took the bag outside to see it in natural light and, ultimately, the veining was just too pronounced to my liking - especially in the BF leather. I already called customer service, got a return label and dropped it off at the fedex office (next door to my office). Agree these bags are very expensive $11K+ for the GM in BF and it had to be completely to my liking so i didn't have any regrets. The customer service agent couldn't have been more helpful and processed the return with no hassle. Open to any suggestions on a luxury bag that could comfortably hold my 16.5 inch laptop and serve as my daily work bag - has to be a backpack or messenger - something i don't have to hand carry since i travel a lot and carrying a bag can be tiresome. My daily driver has been an LV Michael backpack that's served me incredibly well for years - looking for a change :smile:. Would love an HMS bag. I have a Kelly 40 but I usually don't travel with it. I carry alot in my bag and I worry the strap connectors won't stand up to heavy use with a heavy bag. Day to day back & forth to the office, theK40 Lakis is gr8
Hey @travelguy2500, sorry the GM didn't work for you. Just curious, how close was your laptop to fitting? I have a 14" laptop and had been considering this bag, so wondering if my smaller sized laptop would fit.

As for other ideas, I have the LV Saumur Tote that I love and fits a lot. I also love my Dior Explorer Backpack with the flap. They don't seem to carry this particular version anymore, but you can find it from resellers. Good luck with your search, let us know what you end up with!
 
I have a Samsung Galaxy book pro 360 16’ dimensionsProduct Dimensions (L x W x H, inches) are 13.99” x 9.93” x 0.50”. It just fit into the GM but the top flap would not close enough to cover the hardware and connect the sangles. The same laptop just fits in my K40 and allows me to fully close the top. Thanks for the bag suggestions - I will check both of them out. I have a dior maxi saddle backpack and my laptop also just fits in but I can close the cover and I use that backpack from time to time when I don’t have a lot of other stuff to carry.

Have you considered the Cityback? Looks SO SEXY to me. Not cheap so I didn't pull the trigger for myself, but have been pining for one ever since

So I just got a hac a dos GM from the website in Fauve Barenia Faubourg leather. I’d hoped it would fit my laptop and I could use it to replace my older LV backpack but it doesn’t so I am planning to send it back. I have 2 other barenia pieces - a hac a dos PM and a sac a depeches and I love the leather - the look - the smell - the way it ages. I’ve thought of keeping the GM for days when I don’t need to carry a laptop but the veining in this piece seems to me to be very pronounced and distracting. As you can see in the photos it’s really obvious and I don’t think in a good way. Is that my
Imagination? Have others seen this on barenia pieces? The barenia on my other 2 pieces has very little - if any - veining that I notice. I also have an old steve messenger in fjord leather in black - that has lots of veining doesn’t bother me at all but not sure about this. Opinions?

It will arrive back at Hermes warehouse on Tuesday - I expect after a few days review it will be back on the website. I never even wore it or used it. Decided immediately it was too small for my laptop spand I preferred less veining and initiated the return. If you get it, it will be good to know it will have a good go,e LOL

Have you ever experienced that Hermes makes 2 basically identical Shirts both in wool and cotton?

I just had a very embarrassing missunderstanding based on the fact that I showed the SA a shirt from the website and at the cashier we learned that it was not exactly the same product that he gave me, although it looks exactly like it. There is just a different fabric

Could it just be a mislabelling on the website. Might be misunderstanding between the product team and copywriter? Did you check it the product code aligns?
 
Product code is indeed different as well as the price. This lead me to believe they charged me a different product. When the SM came, she checked the fabric from the shirt in store and on the website and indeed saw it’s. Different fabric. Really strange to be honest.

After we clarified it, I was happy to take the shirt but felt like someone complaining about the price, which I would never do… :eek:

You did the absolute right thing! Don’t feel badly. :flowers:
 
Thank you for the affirmation 880 :smile:

This is the shirt in question btw. Love the collar and the color and I think it’s nice for layering in winter.

Now that I am looking at the picture again I might need to ask for the sleeves to be a bit shorter. But overall love the comfy style.

Edit: Just realized that this is my first peace, that was part of a runway show!
