I just bought my first carmen today. Blue Azteque. I can't wait to use mine as a bag charm on my gold birkin.

now they always like squishing this one 
Blue aztec is one of my favorite colours. I have a K wallet in that colour. It is really vibrant. Looking forward to seeing it on your gold B.
Thanks for the heads up. I am based in the UK but I can get one straight from Hermes boutique. I love seeing it on others and I think it looks particularly good on the picotins which are easy relaxed bags. Having said that, I dont see myself getting one- it's just not my style.
I put twilles on the handles of my bags. I love to change them out for a different look and also to protect the leather on the handles. I only break out the clochettes/locks for special occasions or when I have an appointment with my SA at the boutique. Otherwise, they are in their little sleeper bags for safe keeping. I don't do charms or rodeos etc. I do like the little orange shopper but I think for the little bit of leather that it is, the price is outrageous.
I do not usually prefer bag charms, but there is something special about this one.
It reminds me of back in the day when I wanted one of those Medium Brown Bags from Bloomingdales (the plastic tote ones). Something about a shopping bag (big or small) . . . it just makes me smile.

I’m not into bag charms myself but this orange shopping bag charm is quite adorable on its own as a keepsake. I prefer my bag naked too so the price of this bag charm is difficult to justify.
Having seen this in real life now - it is a lovely little thing and Good fun.
However it would have been better if it could be opened so you could put something in it, like a ring or earrings or something.

Imagine
if it had a tiny usable zipper going across at the top to put something tiny in itA magnetic clasp would be easier and would totally transform the charm to a bag. Hermes people - are you listening?
