I have recently found that the handles of my Hermes bags are leaving large indents in my arms that seem to linger for many ‘embarrassing’ hours afterwards (a side-effect of aging and lost collagen in the skin I suspect :( Anyhow, I once read a thread here describing how to wrap the handles with bandages to help create a cushioning effect promising to resolve this issue (I think we can thank Docride for this tip!). Well, I finally did it and I can confirm that it works a treat! The handles are now super soft and the extra cushioning has reduced the indentations by 90%. The handles are slightly thicker but with no effect on wearability or ease of use.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find the original thread with Docride’s step-by-step instructions. Perhaps someone else might have better luck. Hope this helps others who might be experiencing similar issues.
Have a great week,

They always take the tags off at the CDG airports (not just the stores in France) I will ask next time I purchase something at the airport if I can have them.
Do you happen to know why they remove the tags In France? Tags are never removed in the USA, they are part of whatever we purchase.

Actually, the Ala Moana store in Hawaii takes the tags off of purchases, too. I don’t know why. My guess is that the majority of customers who shop in that region prefer tags off. When I asked if I could keep the tags, it wasn’t a problem at all, it just wasn’t their default process.

Your twillys look amazing with your new birkin, lala! You and I are twins on the Couverture Novelles twillys. I am planning on using these on my gold birkin. I should look at those cute Sea Sun and Fun surfboard ones, too. I love how the yellow melts into the caramel color of your b.

I like the matching blue within the twilly combined with the pop of orange, though I think it also depends if you find orange easy to match with your outfits

Fascinating that it worked!!!
I used to have this issue when carrying B35s... but since I don't have that size anymore, it's not a concern.... as the B30 never leaves those marks. Glad it worked for you dear!!!

I think the twilly looks perfect because its colors are complimentary to your Kelly. And, it looks very upbeat and summery. Is there something specific about the twilly that you’re worried about?
