Thank u! I dun think so tho… like any other H stuffs, the tag says dry clean only
Sigh, yah. I hate it when they do that even for a 100% cotton t shirt and I get paranoid on whether I should just try to dump them into the washing machine.Thank u! I dun think so tho… like any other H stuffs, the tag says dry clean only
And i wouldnt suggest that. I cold handwashed once n the tshirt shrank!
Expensive lesson learnt!Ahhhh. Thanks for sharing this!And i wouldnt suggest that. I cold handwashed once n the tshirt shrank!
Oooooo that’s a pretty color!!Went Christmas shopping for mugs, twillies and lip products… and got me theseChypre in Rose Porcelaine Suede…
Notice the “Merry Christmas” “Joyeaux Noël” on the ribbon
They have this new colour in both Paris and Royal loafers, Oran and Oasis sandals….. as part of SS24 “cruise”
I think I overpaid for this wallet. I've been waiting a week for this new-to-me Clic 16 to arrive. It's Etain in Epsom leather. My SA let me try on the mushroom one in Chevre Mysore and I loved it's simplicity/length on my body. However, she told me that none were available anymore. Although she put it on the "watchlist" for me, I couldn't resist after seeing this on a reseller's website.

Ooh lovely bag! But more importantly, what a lovely tuxedo kitty!!!
Is mushroom kind of like Etoupe?
Thanks! Mushroom is more on the white/very light gray side.

I was in Tokyo back in October, though I sadly had to cut my trip short by a week due to illness 😩 In all of my trips there, this was the first time I was able to legitimately bag shop (yay, getting older!). I visited quite a few resale/vintage/used shops and the Hermes boutiques. Due to not having a local shop at home, and a strong disinterest in playing the game, I have bought all of my bags secondhand. In this case, the yen vs dollar exchange is pretty incredible right now. While I did not nab my bags in person due to my shortened time there, my friend (who runs a full-time shopping service!) was able to purchase the bags I tried on in person off the webshops for me and sent them my way. And the conversion rate saved me an absolutely insane amount of money. Tax-free in Paris has nothing on buying from Japan right now. I couldn't be happier with my bags!
If you love vintage bags that have been impeccably maintained, I strongly recommend searching for your bags in Japan or on Japanese webshops/auction sites using translated search terms. You really can't beat the exchange rate right now, and the bags tend to be better maintained than vintage bags purchased in the USA (especially considering cost vs. condition). You'll have to go off the beaten path (so, not the common resale shops that are easy to find), but it's worth the hunt.
Haute a Courroies 32cm in Vache Natural with gold hardware - this bag was so well loved and cared for; it is so beautiful! I have already begun conditioning/performing maintenance using @docride recommended products for this leather. Someone had already been treating it thankfully, as it is largely water-resistant already!
Kelly 35cm in Gold Veau Gulliver with gold hardware - in absolutely beautiful condition, with only the expected scratches for this leather, some light corner color wear, and a small area of the handle I want to have Hermes address. This will be the first bag I ever spa, once I can get to the closest city with an Hermes.
