I posted a last week about being offered a special order. I have decided to accept that offer . So I have been thinking of ideas for something to make the bag special. I'm thinking of designing the bag with inspiration from my DH and I's wedding. We had a "nautical casual elegance" theme with the colors being navy and cream with small accents of silver and pale blue. The setting was over looking the water.
So I was thinking of a 30cm togo pall hdware (the standard for me ) in either bleu de prusse or bleu abysse with ceil lining, then have cream straps, such as parchemin (handles in bleu abysse or de prusse). The stitching will complement the strap color and the piping will be the bleu abysse or de prusse
This leads me to a couple of questions:
1. Please post compairson shots of bleu de prusse and bleu abysse if you have them. I've checked out the thread dedicated to the color blue and I can not find any side by side shots of the 2 colors.
2. Any other color suggestions for the off-white/cream color other than parchemin? Or do you think parchemin is going to look great?
3. I've looked through the special order threads and have not seen any photos of just the birkin "straps" a different color. It is always the straps and the handles being the contrasting color. I'm thinking of having only the straps be the contrast. Will Hermes do this? Will this look silly? Should I have the handles be done in the off-white/cream color too? DIscuss......
4. Will Hermes heat stamp initials and a date? I would assume if so it would be after I've purchased.
That's all the questions I have for now. Please feel free to post and other thoughts you may have on the design. Thanks for the participation
