I actually bought 4 item but the last requires transfer between store so I can only pick up later

1) Ex-Libris Stole in Bleu Noir

Qn: should I keep this lovely color or exchange to the all classic black?

2) Cashmere 140 in Sangles en Zig (Rose Nacre/Bleu/Brique)

Had a hard time deciding between this and the other CW in marine/rouge/Gris. Eventually I picked this because of Bleu Noir Stole.

3) Oran in white

I realised recently I have been buying white shoes. From Birkenstock to Adidas Stan Smith/Super Star. I don't wear white and will likely wear this with jeans. Should I change to black?

Thanks for letting me share!

I think switch whatever to black you are doubting. But I tend to go to black too and maybe it's good you are going to other colors!

This has been a purchase heavy period for me, I generally do not purchase so many items and usually treat myself once every other month to a little something in an orange box.

Lately, I purchased a Parures de Samurais scarf in CW 05, along with a Cavalcadour Fleuri CGSM in the violet/rose color way. I was thrilled when my SA had it on hand.

I found one brand new moussie on Ann's Fabulous Closeouts in a Coup de Fouet - the color way was not my preferred but I have never had a moussie and it was discounted too much to not try.

I have an unlined Etain Halzan on its way to me but probably the coolest bag I purchased to try as a work tote is a Victoria Cabas. I purchased this pre-owned but it looks pretty darn new. I had never seen one and I didn't have such a dark blue neutral. She is a Bleu Abysse and she is pictured with a hermes.com order of the gris Dallet CSGM. I have the navy/burgandy but I feel like the grey tones will be a really great neutral for any kind of times when I have a much louder top on that I don't want to add even more patterns to with a scarf.

love your Victoria Cabas, very subtle and under-rated... a perfect match with your scarf!

My bf helped me find a GP Rose Jaipur in Epsom. Based on the diff reads I've gone through, it's usually Negonda.
Anyone can shed some light and advice if it's a worthy purchase? It's my first H bag:angel:

P/s: will only see it this Saturday, but according to him it feels plastic, which comes from the laminate

I have a negonda gp36. I've seen an epsom gp30 and it's not the same look. It's a different epsom than what you see in SLGs (those are different leathers). It's got a larger grain and texture to it and it's a bit shinier. I've requested to buy a GP30 so I like it myself and it's a nice, light bag. I think you should see it in person and only buy it if you like it. :smile:

IMG_1062.jpg I'm new to high-end designer bags. I have one LV Epi Mabillon backpack. Other than that, I have Rebecca Minkoff, Coach, Orla Kiely. I'm about to turn 50 and own about 7 bags total.

I was divorced on 3/15/17 after an oppressive 19 years of marriage. I decided to buy myself something nice to just be me again. I went to the Fendi boutique in Short Hills, NJ twice. I could decide between a Lei and Dotcom. Then I went to a very reputable consignment in Livingston, NJ and met a Blue Jean Victoria bag. I returned twice. On the third visit, I bought it.

What have I done? I love the bag, but I'm in a neighborhood and part of women who shop at Macy's when things are on sale.

Can I carry this bag every day? Will it withstand daily use? I'm nearly a minimalist and cannot wrap my mind around a bag collection, but I LOVE this bag.

First, your bag is gorgeous! Congrats on treating yourself after going through what must have been a very difficult time. Second, Hermes bags are incredibly durable. Yes, you can use this every day! Just wipe it off if it gets wet. The Victoria is such a classic and useful style, and Blue Jean is one of the most classic H colors. It's also super understated, so I doubt anyone in your area will know what it is, they'll just see a really nice bag. Congrats on this great find!

I love my Victoria. I think it's a perfect under the radar bag for you. I don't use mine every day, but consider it a workhorse bag that will withstand daily use. Enjoy!

Thank you very much. I wanted it so badly, but bringing it home brought with it a host of emotions I didn't expect. I stopped by the Hermes boutique in Short Hills for the first time this morning. The sales consultant was very helpful. She told me about the durability and leather. They will also treat the bag, as I am sure you already know, to spruce it up after signs of wear are apparent.

Now that I have it, I can't imagine being without it. Maybe the novelty will wear and I can rotate it with my other non-Hermes bags.

I tried on the Lindy. I think I love that and the Bolise, just as much. Ahhh.

I'm surprise by how neutral the Blue Jean seems. I was afraid it wouldn't go with anything. It seems to coordinate with many colors.

I actually went to Hermes in Short Hills this morning and they endured me the bag could withstand anything and just I had chosen a durable leather. I am surprised I don't want friends to know what it is, but I don't. Strange, right. I wouldn't have known it was Hermes. Now I'm starting to notice other handbags. It's as if a veil has been lifted.

Thanks for your response.
