May I ask how you ordered attaché soie kit? My Halzan 25 fits little short on me and I’d love to extend it just a bit with a longer silk strap. TIA!
Two orders I placed at one of our previous visits came in today, a Petit-H Silk Bracelet and an Attache Soie kit (in Etoupe). The kit allows you to use a scarf, losange, twilly-maxi slim or twillon to use as a bag strap, and hence get a much longer strap than Hermès actually offers, perfect if you're struggling to cross-body your bag comfortably! I wrapped the extra length of my twilly-maxi slim around the attachments to hide the mis-matched color (the only options we could find were gold, etoupe, and dark blue).

You'll need to give your SA the product reference, which is H080223CK37 and ask them if they can search inventory to see if it can be shipped from another store. Just be nice and patient, we accidentally found out it's actually a LOT of work for an SA to transfer an item from another store, so now we try to be mindful of that and only ask for things that we're very sure about (although a few times sizing has worked against us).

Or if you're Canadian you can order it directly from the website: https://www.hermes.com/ca/en/product/attache-soie-bag-strap-H080223CK37/

It seems a lot of folks have trouble getting items transferred in, and I suspect it's because the inventory system is somewhat limited in that they can't always look up items by name. We've found that looking up the product reference on your own is key to success. If you can't find something on the US website, look on the Canadian and UK websites to see if you can at least grab a product reference from a listing there...(I've attached a screenshot with it's typical location on the product page circled in red). If you're brave enough to navigate non-English pages, you can also browse other global Hermes.com sites.

Good luck! I hope you're able to get one...not only does it give you a LOT of length adjustment to play with, the Twilly-Maxi Slim makes for a surprisingly comfortable and secure bag strap.

My new (mystery) mousseline scarf! Got it at an online auction in France 2 days ago, reputable auctioneers and guaranteed authentic...BUT, I can't find a similar anywhere and I wonder if it has a title, who is the designer...Haven't received it yet!

Oh...and my tragic mistake! Loved this document cover at the same auction, and bought it without reading the full description. Turns out it has the initials R.V. on it! I have no idea what to do with it:sad:
Perhaps you can attribute its provenance to someone chic, like Roger Vivier or Roger Vadim? RV is also a military abbreviation for ”rendezvous.” :smile:
