I've been trying to snag a mini Evelyne from the site for about two months. Finally was quick enough to grab this one in Rouge Tomate/Rouge Pivoine in Clemence with palladium hardware (not sure what the pivoine is supposed to be referring to? The strap looks the same color as the bag).

I'm not sure I'm going to keep it. The leather is divine, I love the color, it's a perfect tomato red, but I mostly just grabbed it because it was available and I was afraid of missing out!
I'm looking for a bag that could be my everyday errand-running bag and that would go with lots of outfits, so I'd been leaning towards a neutral (I LOVE the Beige de Weimar that's popped up on the site occasionally, or Etoupe, Etain, Gold). I though maybe red would be flexible, but I think it's just TOO red and bright. Maybe something darker/more burgundy like Rouge H would work. Not sure, I'm going to sit on it for a while since I have a return window.
 
Soooo.... I went to what may be the only Hermès boutique that is inside another boutique/clothier in the U.S. just looking for a double tour. This quaint little store is in the Midwest and even has a wine cellar. Somehow a double tour turned into 2 twillies and a Kelly 32! (The compact silk-in was H.com purchase that just arrived) I just found this boutique about 2 weeks ago so no prior history with them. I just causally inquired on my first visit whether the ever get K’s or C’s (wasn’t interested in a Birkin as I just found one). The SA says “we never get Constance bags but on occasion will receive Birkins and Kellys but we don’t have any at the moment”. Okay, figured I would ask. From the other room I hear the owner’s son quietly say “We have a 32 Kelly in Black-Tadelakt”. Ewww, 32 is too big, and black is basic, I’ll pass. I didn’t even look at the bag. Fast forward a week later and I went back to exchange the double tour for the smaller size and they had the Kelly on display. “Wow!” My ideal Kelly was to be a size 25 Retourne in blue nuit/indigo togo leather with ghw. Once I “tried this one on” I knew it was a losing battle. I did manage to escape the store to sleep on it but had to go back today. It doesn’t feel big at all and I think I’ll get a canvas strap for a casual look.

It is a Rouge H Epsom Kelly 25 Sellier in GHW :love: I was thrilled be offered such a rare color! At first I wasn't sure if I’d like it in real life but as soon as it came out of the dustbag my jaw dropped. Such an elegant burgundy red, honestly, photos don't do it justice.
