Want to share my latest purchase but also a little story behind it.

I have been an Hermes lover for many many years and have wanted a Birkin since I can remember (although my style has shifted slightly and wanted a Kelly first). At the same time I’m not very patient and not sure how good I am at playing the game, so these bags started going into the back of my mind and my luxury purchases shifted to other brands.

Last year I started thinking about them again and decided to start building that relationship and grow my purchases. After living in London for 10 years (with 0 purchase history in Hermes) I moved back home to Lisbon and purchase one lipstick in 2020 before the pandemic started. Last year in June I went back to the store and bought a pair of trainers I really liked and at the time asked about the process that existed at the moment. The SA advised I would have to do a wishlist and if they received anything that fitted those details they would contact me. So I did, asked for a Kelly 25 or 28, Sellier, Epsom Leather with GHW in Blue. He did say I should put another color just in case so I added more neutral colors like Taupe or Gold.

In August I got a job offer in Germany, and moved to Frankurt, between new job, move etc I kind of forgot about the bag.

Last week I started to think about it again and decided to try my luck in the Frankfurt store (which is where I purchase the cups and one twilly) but they advised me I would need to call a number and book a leather appointment to start a new wishlist in Germany and that there were no more available appointments for this year. But that I should also contact the Lisbon store since I would still have that wishlist valid and active (I was also thinking if the Lisbon store tried to call me, my mobile number was no longer available as I had a German number now).

So I emailed the store in Lisbon, after trying to contact them by phone unsuccessfully, and to my surprise I get an email response saying they had a Kelly 28 Bleu Lin (second pic). I had never seen this color and because they didn’t send any more information I wasn’t sure of the rest, so they sent me a pic with the leather (evercolor) and hardware (gold) so I said yes and went to Lisbon over the weekend to pick it up (that’s also a bit crazy ahah, the things we do). Also picked up a second twilly and now want to get the longer strap to wear it crossbody.

I wanted to share to show how everyone’s experiences are different and never give up, you never know whats going to happen. I was able to purchase a Kelly bag with very little purchase history and no relationship with SA.

I’m just starting my Hermes journey, but I’m already getting obsessed! I used to be scared go to boutique just to check it out. Because I’ve heard about prices on Borodin and Kelly and thought that everything there is ridiculously expensive. But recently I started to do some research and educate myself about the brand, and I’m falling in love. Those are my first two purchases. Belts and twilly I bought in Europe, and the boots, scarf and bracelet in the US. Btw I’m obsessed with these boots.

I have a very small purchase to share from the Hermès store in NYC. There was hardly any stock and nothing that I wanted was available. I was offered a non quota bag the Evelyn 29 but I passed. I love the colour Rose Extreme in goatskin of my new passport holder :heart:

I have the same holder and love that I can find it in my bag when called upon to present my passport! Enjoy!

I think, they are true to size (compared to the H moccassins). Though comfy? It might depend on the ratio of the circumference of the calves to the length of the feet/shoe size.
If, as with me, the boot shaft is still a bit too wide/roomy, it can reach so high that - when sitting down - the rather hard leather loop stings the crook of my knee and the leather strap on the back buckled at the level of my Achilles tendon, which was rather painful - sigh - couldn't take them home.
Also: who has a bunion: it can be quite visible through the fabric. (I have the shorter boots - very comfy, though the bunions might show more after wearing a couple of times...)

I guess it depends on individual anatomy. To me these boots are very comfortable to walk in. And I can seat maybe for couple hours. But l bought them mostly for going out. I think all listed above issues apply to most of the knee length boots.

Hello everyone,
I am a new member. I do not have any social media so was pretty nervous about joining your community. But I have been reading the LV thread for over 10 years and now the Hermes for almost 2 years, and thought it was a good time to join. I am very late to the party as I only made my first purchase last year and I am over 50 lol.
I am sorry if I am posting all this information in the wrong thread. But my most recent purchase is an Evelyn TPM in Noir, Clemence Leather with PHW.
I am trying to figure out how to attach a photo.`
