I have not posted in the Hermes thread in a long time. But this bag deserves some love.

History: I bought a similar bag in the 2000s in cognac goatskin. I absolutely loved it, but re-homed it when I was offered (and took) a 35CM Barenia Birkin.

For the past few years, I’ve culled much of my Birkin and Kelly collection. Among the bags I sold was a 30 CM Terra Cuite Ostrich Birkin. I was originally going to order another pale pink bag from Peter Nitz, but then went in a different direction with my bespoke order.

So that left a hole in my collection. I love a grown up pink.

Then I saw this from a Japanese reseller on eBay and took the plunge. This bag is just perfect. I love the exterior pocket. Rose Dragee is a controversial color, it changes in different lights, everything from pink to gray to tan.

The Peter Nitz terrazzo twilly brings out the pink tones.

Congratulations on a gorgeous find! I have one bag in Rose Dragée (my K Flat) and I find it works so well as a neutral with my wardrobe. Very easy colour to wear.

Enjoy!

Such a beautiful & versatile shade! I love how you phrased that, because you’re so right - a grown up pink really is special. Enjoy your new beauty!

Great low key treasure, @etoupebirkin! This colour can go almost anywhere. Good find! Curious what sort of customs fee was levied?

I knew you would like this bag. Your positive experiences with Japanese resellers gave me some confidence with this purchase.

I love that this was no drama or prespend. I have not stepped in Hermes in years because of all the hooey associated with buying in store. I love buying vintage non-Quota bags.

It’s both elegant and useful. I’ve been wearing it with shorts, so it goes casual too.
