I feel silly posting this with all that is going on in the world but I did get this recently before things started to blow up. It’s my one pop of colour and I plan to go back to neutral bags after this.
Oh my CMilly, it’s gorgeous and yes it can feel quite incongruent with everything that’s happening around the world right now. However, life still does go on, and you having a bag you love doesn’t hurt anyone, in fact as world economies are tanking, those of us than can still purchase things actually helps. Consumers drive economies for sure. So I hope you enjoy it :heart: besides, tpf is a safe and warm and fun place to come for a break from all the hard news. If I didn’t stop reading news online sometimes I fear I might go mad! So I’m glad we have this place, as all things H are one of my happy places. Love the green!!
My first bag purchase :smile:
What a lovely classic for a first bag!!:love:
 
I bought a bostia versa coin purse, several lippies, and a pop-up book, which I collect! A medor infini double tour is in my cart but I’m undecided. My wrist is so small I’ve kind of given up on bracelets.

One thing I bought was the nano in Brides de Gala. (To be a bracelet that fits!) Not my favorite design - there were only two choices, but I figured the black, white and gold would be appropriate for my first nano and for wearing it around the wrist as I intend.

However, I’m having trouble finding a scarf ring. I want one that fits a Twilly, (or nano) like the meder trio, but Hermes is OOS (2017 design) as is TRR. (It must be in gold color) the only Twilly size they had was the dog collar, which I didn’t like and is gone today. Not sure where to get one. I have a VERY small wrist, 3 inches across, so a regular one won’t do. I have a Mors but it’s too large.

Any suggestions? I can’t imagine tying it with my teeth, lol. Anybody seen one someplace? You can PM me or mods, feel free to move this if it’s wrong.

I fell in love with the Valentine heart they had but I only see two on eBay and it’s more than I’ll pay for a site I don’t trust.

Would appreciate suggestions! I’d show my items but they are all things you’ve seen a million times, I suspect.

But the pretty boxes are always nice. :).

I think beautiful things are a part of history, as far back as cavewomen putting shells on their necks as jewelry. . Bad things have nothing to do with good things. As a person with end stage cancer, I felt awful, at first, wanting things that seemed “frivolous.” Then I realized that it is life-affirming.

So nono, never feel guilty as long as you don’t go into debt, or make things worse,

The bags and things I see are beautiful and I admire all who can afford them. and the world would be dull without them. And even if people can’t fund an Hermes bag, it’s lovely that they want beauty in their lives. The world can’t be about disease and sadness only.

Please don't feel silly! I think any respite we can get from this awful situation is justified as long as we're conscientious and don't endanger those around us. And in the face of economies tanking, it's a good thing to spend money to boost others if you can afford it. Of course our Hermes purchases don't really help those who will be hardest hit economically because of this disease. But there's still a cascade effect - your bag purchase benefits everyone from the leather suppliers to the artisans in France to the SAs to the delivery person who brought the bags.

My first quota bag offer! Received the “I have something special for you” text last night and went to my store first thing this morning. Feeling so grateful and special that this beauty is my first!
Noir B30 GHW in Togo. Also picked up my first pair of twillies [emoji846]
Congrats! We're twins on the twillies, I would love to see a shot of them on your beautiful new bag if you can :)

I often feel conflicted about wanting beautiful (and expensive!) things in times when it feels like these things shouldn’t be important. Thanks so much for your perspective. I hope you are feeling OK. :heart:
