What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

I don't like "repurposing" H bags for unintended uses, e.g., a WOC. Using farandole, twillies etc. and now just slapping a strap on a kelly wallet is so awkward IMO. Doesn't look like a true bag at all. A constance long as a clutch is different -- I could easily fit my phone in it comfortably. JMHO

100% Agree with you. One time I asked my SA for a Contance she brought out a wallet and a maxi twilly. I was dumbfounded and politely said no.

Not so unpopular, I think. Black all the way here. I would like a really bright red backpack though.

One of my first H SAs was so into "if it's an H bag it should be colour".

Love classic colours Rouge H, Bleu Marine, Gold and of course Bambou too but I default to Black.

I hate it when people ask me to find them a brand new Kelly/Birkin from the boutique for retail price only ! I guess they want me to play the game , buy a bunch of stuff and then willingly give them the bag that was offered to me for the sole reason that I have plenty of Bs an Ks so giving away one of my 2 quote bags won't hurt me because we are friends .

That's just downright rude.

My unpopular opinion is that bag charms don't do it for me. They're cute, but not my thing.

 

[Annawakes]

I don’t like canvas straps. Can’t you include a leather strap for a bag that costs thousands of dollars???

I don't like Epsom for bags. There, I said it.

I can't knock it for everything, as I have Epsom CDCs, but I will probably never buy any Epsom bags or SLGs.

This! Someone did it with Jige elan as well. If you want a WOC, buy a WOC!

 

[QuelleFromage]

I have too many

I don't really like the way Himalayan croc looks. DH hates it even more and calls it "disgusting".

I think Epsom feels like plastic.

The Birkin 25 looks weirdly small to me.

I don't really enjoy FSH.

I think ostrich looks like pimples.

I don't like to see the spine in chèvre.

I love Birkin 35s.

I can't wear anything with a giant H, including the Constance, the H belt, the Clic H bracelets, and Evelynes worn backward (for some reason mini Evelyne doesn't bother me).

 

[Hermes Nuttynut]

When they charge $3,000 for this.

 

[parissojourn]

I think many combis of the tri and bi colored Bs and Ks look really cheap? Like pink/green, yellow/green, blue/orange.

And +1 for those who think the ostrich skin looks like pimples or chicken pox.

I helped a friend buy one from my SA. SA did so as a favor...3 months later she decided she didn't like it and resold it, netted a small profit. She certainly didn't share her positive cash flow with me. Then she went on to shop another boutique and left my SA high and dry for future sales. lame and uncool.

 

[ODEDIHAIMS]

I agree with several of the above and will add putting a strap on a Pico to the list. It was not designed to be worn that way and I don’t like how it looks.

 

[aisham]

I can't understand scarves . I love them , they look beautiful , but one winter shawl is enough for me . but I can't find the next perfect shawl ! and I don't need more than 2 , I live in the desert . The idea of scarfs and deferent patterns / seasons / artiest confuses me .

this bugs me too ! And that is way I only refer my H serious friends to my SA .

The shoulder B was so people who always moaned about not being able to carry their hand-held, top-handle bag.

And for those that find the Shoulder Birkin odd looking, the Birkin is itself a HAC elan.

I don't mind whether or not people can readily buy a certain bag but I don't think the H should lie to any potencial customers. Luxury always operates on different levels and services/products that are special/popular should be for loyal, local, longterm customers first.

My unpopular opinion is although I like quite a few of all H's colours, I still prefer black.

Another is I'd rather not have diamonds on my bags unless it's for evening...and even then, probably not.

When people purchase rare bags to make a quick profit and loyal longterm customers have to wait longer.
