Does it fit a car key fob? i might buy a bastia for my car keys but i dont know if its fits .
I've just bought my first Hermès. Aaaaaaw 
It's very very tiny. For those who are taking a peek from the top of your mountains of Birkins and Kellys, please indulge me 
It's a start!
It's a little Bastia in colour Magnolia. It's lovely but more purple than I was hoping- against better judgement. I wanted red and hot pink but after having waited for Bastias in new colours for months, when I saw this, I just pounced. I could keep it just because but I try to avoid "cluttering" of bags and slg I don't love 100%. I'll think about it until Monday, but probably return it to Hermès and endure another half year or more of waiting for the right red and hot pink Bastias to turn up.

Congrats! No H item is too small for a reveal! Your Bastia is breathtaking but I totally understand how you need to be 100% certain it’s a keeper. Good luck with your decision.I've just bought my first Hermès. Aaaaaaw

Thank you, sf_newyorker
It is a gorgeous colour but seems to be an in-between colour. Had it been more purple, I would have kept it as I'd love a purple, red and hot pink Bastia trio

I love the color! It may be Rose Pourpre instead of Magnolia. I have it in the RP color and love it!
I love the color too, think it’s the prettiest one they offer. But I’m biased, have it in a wallet!
Rose Pourpre looks lovely. It looks like a "darker" purple than Magnolia, would you agree? They have both Rose Pourpre and Raisin on the French website now. And they have two different reds, Rouge Coeur and Rouge Piment. All these different H leathers and colours, it's overwhelming!
I think I saw that at the Meatpacking store in NYC the other day. The SA told me they just arrived so the US should be getting them.Thank you so much for the information! Now I need to get one of them...not sure how as I don't see myself going to Europe any time soon.

I do hope you'll decide to keep this little Bastia. It's the perfect leather for a Bastia, the epsom holds up much better to all the wear and tear from your coins. My first Bastia was the goatskin which I love but it got squishy too fast. Now I have an Etoupe Epsom and it's holding up wonderfully.
I do have a RP bag and you're right, it is darker (more Fuchsia looking) then Magnolia but I do think the Magnolia in a small piece is lovely. Plus it will be easier to see inside any handbag
My Etoupe color one blends in and I have to find it by touch.
Thank you, dear Atb, yes, Epsom seems the best choice in Bastia for what I'll use them for. But there's also "veau Madame" on the website (the RP Bastia is in veau Madame) but IIUC it's the same as Epsom, just smaller "grained"?I do hope you'll decide to keep this little Bastia.

Could you please post or PM a photo of your RP bag?
