I find your SA’s remark quite arrogant, even if perhaps meant with best of intentions. It’s 2024, and if you are dropping that kind of cash on a bag, you shouldn’t settle. Period. It is you and not your SA that will be enjoying the bag and carrying it. So unless you asked for their honest opinion, that kind unsolicited advice is very unprofessional and ignorant.

Uff difficult choice. I am only looking at print and love the jungle, very casual and something I would opt for but the toucans looks so refined and impactful and would elevate any look. No help what so ever. You’re welcome *lol*
Subverting toxic gender expectations one mini bag at a time…
I was window shopping with my Hermes Evelyne TPM in Gold/PHW and Rodeo PM in Orange Poppy and am now very tempted by these two Coach tote bags for mini bag overflows lol…

So, one's outfit has to be 100% Hermes head-to-toe to post a pic in this thread?
Nope. No one said that lol
Sharing your other designer items, is clearly off topic 💡
Share those in their designer forums, stick to sharing H here.
@fonnas has converted the KD 25 beautifully. I really love the sac a depeches 21. Very understated, but really fabulous with an outside pocket.
Somewhere up thread several members asked opinions re a tall guy wearing a B25. One of my favorite style inspirations (and I am a short 56 year old woman) was posted by @allanrvj . I keep it in my favorites album and look at it when I think of lux urban chic. Photo credit:@allanrvj.
ETA: Another member here who is tall and carries a B25 with elan is @duggi84

5’7 and B25 preferred. It works.

Thank you 😊 it’s vert toundra. I’d say it reads as an etoupe with a khaki undertone versus a brown.Looks great! I also on team 25
What’s the colour?
Very nice! Looks like a very versatile colour.
My DH has tried on other models of H loafer and finds them clunky (which is the style) and heavy (which is his objection and reason why he hasn’t bought any). He does own chypres, H boots, and other shoes, and wouldn’t wear them if he has to walk a lot. But everyone is different. So I would simply ask your son bc the Hermes last may not be the best fit for his foot, or it could be some entirely different reason (like he loves them and is saving them for a special occasion lol)
My DH has found that if they are too heavy or the balance feels wrong, break in may not change that. There are as many other options in as many price, style, weight, function, type category as there are shoes. DH personally finds Edward Green loafers (I believe the 202 last specifically) to be among the most comfy, but getting the exact right last (model), size, width, type matters. In comparison to Edward Green, he finds H shoes to run large). If a man is picky about fit, I find that they tend to go to a brand that specializes in that type of thing. JMO though, and good luck
Your son of course has a very considerate and generous parent to think of getting him such gorgeous shoes
I have been traveling so my apology for late reply. Thank you all so much for insightful comments. I really appreciate it. I should have had my son come to a boutique with me to try H shoes on and get a feel for men’s H shoes in general before purchasing a pair for him. It probably would have been easier for him to tell me H shoes were not comfortable for him. I did check out Edward Green loafers and they look lovely.
