Has anyone noticed “dents” in the leather from using the divide & conquer insert? I purchased one to give structure to a preloved epsom gp36 and liked it because of its stiffness, but after having it in the bag for a couple months I felt like I could see a slight outline from the outside (a horizontal line where the top of the insert was). Wondering if the Samorga insert would be any better...
Hi there,
I wonder if you end up having gp36 in all leather. I would like to know if it is heavy when you put your stuff in and carry around all day. Thank you
I wish the GP had little rings at the base of the handles to attach one of those lovely new straps.

Hi all, I would like to add another GP to my collection. I would loooove something light pink and was wondering if anyone seen lately GPs in rose sakura or rose confetti being offered? I have been eyeing them for so long on the second hand market but wondering whether it's worth to wait to get something from the boutique? Would love to know your input!
Hi, I've definitely seen a rose sakura GP and some other pink ones on Vestaire recently. But it looks like there is a price premium on the color, and especially if also customs duties apply, it might be not much cheaper than getting one from the boutique.
Hi all! I recently purchased a Garden Party 36, Vache Country from a major reseller online (not ebay) because we dont have an Hermes store in my state. I stalked the website for a while, this bag isnt there. I called a store asking if I can buy over the phone and have it shipped, they said no. I'd rather buy it from the store direct but because I really wanted one for a while now, I bought from a reseller. I wanted a black or gold but I saw one in Bleu Agate - it look amazing and in excellent condition (others looked liked they've been loved much more). So I bought it. However, I am now second guessing my decision cause I didnt even stop and think, is this a legit GP color?
So my question is, did they ever make the GP in this color? I always see people talk about Bleu Nuit, Rose Sakura, Bamboo, Gold, Etoupe, Lagoon, Vert Verigo, Malachite, Rougue and Black but, I have never seen anyone mention it in Bleu Agate. I've seen it in other models too like Constance but the one I bought is the only one Ive seen online in this color. Is this a legit color for GP? Is it an awful color and no one bought so I dont see it anywhere? LOL! I mean, I do like it and the color suits me but I just want to make sure that Hermes actually made a GP in this color. For the ladies who bought their GPs from the store, have your seen this in GP in store or have seen the Bleu Agate in the swatches when they were choosing their GP?
PS Ive looked throught through the thread dedicated to hermes bleu color. I have gone through it but there's so much info I was getting crossed eyed staring at the computer LOL! I havent found what I needed yet and I will continue looking but if anyone can give me their insight, I would be SUPER DUPER grateful!

Hi Ladies, I am currently in Germany and I don't have a close Hermes boutique close to where I live. I had to travel by car 1-2 hours and with the lockdown, it's just not possible.
I ordered a Kelly belt online and the one I want available was in Hermes store in Stuttgart so that's how I got my SA's contact details. My SA has now ordered for me a GP 30 Noir in Negonda leather, he says it will come in 6 months and I'll be lucky if it comes earlier. I asked him if he can change his request to a Country leather instead.. he said it's not possible to order a Country leather.. I'm just wondering why, does anybody know?
Anyway, I will be okay to any Neutral colored GP 30, Gold, Noir, Etoup, Gris Asphalt or Navy blues.. I want to get the GP 30 first then move on to GP 36 (with a neutral shade different to the one I will get ) .. at the moment I have no interest in B's.. or maybe K..
Also does anyone know how much commission does an SA get for small purchases like twillies and Carre 90 scarfs?? because I want to know if it will be worth bothering my SA for Silks that I can instead purchase online...

I love this color, I personally think you've got a very good choice on this. I'm sure one of the ladies here will be able to help you with authentication.
Hi jovhaem, I have never ordered a GP from the store but there have been some GP 30 online in country leather recently. Not as many as in Negonda leather in my opinion but I check quite regularly (the German website) and I have seen some. Too bad you couldn't order your preferred leather. I hope you will get your bag soon, I LOVE the GP in both 30 and 36, looking for some more colours, too!

Hi @_Cina thank you! This will be my first H bag, I’m starting my collection small. I have been checking online as well. I realized that once you see the bag, you have to grab it because it will be gone in a matter of seconds. I saw a GP 36 in Noir, I held myself because I want to get it from my SA instead (you know to build relationship with him) until he told me I can’t order the leather that I want which is a bummer to be honest .. after that GP 36 is gone, it didn’t come back and it’s addicting to constantly check and refresh the H website to see what will pop-up.. and then again - one refresh and it will say it’s no longer available I don’t know if its the website or genuinely the demand Crazy.. I seriously wouldn’t mind getting what will come out first, GP 36 or 30 as long as its in the Neutral tone that I love..
Have you experienced ordering from other countries website? i.ez France - do you get charged with extra tax or something?? or should I just focus on checking the Germany website??

Oh, how nice to start your collection with a GP! It is such a classic and (for me) a total allrounder! I know the struggles of the web shop, however, I am not an expert. I guess some others know way more about it, however, I got lucky couple times already. I check quite frequently (only on the German website though) and once you have an item in your basket you have to be quick. Also, sometimes the item becomes unavailable while already in your basket but sometimes refreshing the page helped. Also, to go check again after couple minutes. It is really a hit or miss... Wishing you a lot of luck on your hunt!
