Hi! I rarely come over to this forum, and I saw your thread title and I was curious, so here I am. I dont know anything about Hermes at all. I walk past Hermes South Coast all the time and rarely venture in. I LOVE your new bag! I dont think its ugly at all! Is it a current style or retired? I really think its lovely. And I hope you feel better soon.

It's a work of art! Congratulations Orchids! That is a great addition to your collection!

Orchids: what an interesting kelly!!! the skin feels like eel/shark/stingray kind of texture. It is truly unique!!!! Congrats!!!!

Thanks Fesdu for that Mr. Lau fix! LOL! Thx edsbgrl, jag, hermesbb and Oh Donna (that is a lovely collection of Balenciaga boobies btw!); I think the Dalmation print is pretty much retired. This bag is from 2002.

Orchids, I too was giving this many viewings. I think it is a very interesting leather. I saw dalmation in a Yeoh bag about 2 years ago in San Fran. I liked the leather, but didn't that style was for me. It will look amazing with an all black or all gray ensemble. It really is a one of a kind and you will always receive comments about it. Enjoy wearing it!

kind of exciting that a tpfer has such a rare bag.

Oh orchids, she's here already?! Thanks for posting pics. Not an ugly duckling at all, she really is fascinating and unique!

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks GK, HH, and SN! GK, that is exactly why I had to have this particular combination--blacks and greys are pretty much the staples of my wardrobe!

OMG, what an incredibly lovely purse!!! It reminds me of snowflake obsidian,
which, if you like, might be a great complement as jewelry with the purse!

Congrats on such a brilliant find, so beautiful.

Regards,
Shelley

Congrats Orchids.. it's very unique and one of a kind. I like it.. I would love to see you modeling it.

It's gorgeous! I was "eh" about the dalmi's at first but I actually would eventually like to have a Kelly later. I was so close to bidding on that one but it's not doable financially for me right now.

Definitely one of a kind and not at all ugly! Congrats!!!
