What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

[Tonimichelle]

Well I actually really like this thread and feel if anything it's one of the least 'gatekeeping' ones. Maybe I'm misjudging it but to me it feels more of a safe space to articulate our opinions with hopefully least offence.

I am certainly guilty of some other's dislikes (yes I am the saddo who names her bags!) but on the other hand where else can I say I don't like pink or that the RooRoo charm looks like a grilled sausage... it's all just personal opinion and hopefully taken in a fairly lighthearted way. In any other thread to say "I don't like pink" etc would be inappropriate.

Just want to add I currently have double vision (came out of hospital yesterday) so I'm typing with one eye shut and my keyboard looks slanted.. just in case there's spelling / grammar issues, however I've been reading it the past couple of days and had to add my thoughts

Hey, hope you are okay and that you feel better soon!

Thank you! I feel fine (if a little seasick) @880 it's just there's two of everything.. on the plus side (or maybe downside!) I've now realised I quite like the look of two love bracelets on my wrist and two Birkins in my bedroom is quite nice too

THIS! Just as I don't take offense when I see someone post that they don't like "x" whatever that might be that I do. We don't all have to like or dislike the same things.

EXACTLY this! This is why I often preface a post with "if I hate this, that means there is more inventory for those who love it". Anything one person dislikes means more opportunity for someone with different taste. Just because I don't like Epsom does not mean I judge anyone for owning it. That would be ridiculous.

I also appreciate many things on other people that I'm not comfortable with for myself. Bag charms are adorable, and I own a bunch because they look so great on others' bags, but I can't wear 'em. Etc etc etc.

As for "gatekeeping", a forum about handbags and shopping (like all of tPF) is by definition exclusionary, as many, many people can't afford to even think about such things. A forum largely about five-figure handbags is obviously even more so. However, and this is JMHO, the term "gatekeeping" has pretty serious societal implications and should probably be kept for discussions well outside the span of tPF.

Feel better soon! Isn't tPF a great way to distract from feeling ill? Love that you are reading with one eye.

The wonderful thing about opinions, popular or otherwise, is that we can reserve the right to change them!

I did see a painted skateboard charm on a bag posted by @grismouette, post 56,030 here https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/your-hermes-in-action.917931/page-3736

The entire combo was fabulous

unpopular opinion: most think the private room at Madison is gorgeous. I do think the teal colors are gorgeous and work well with the other colors. But I think the sofa backrest shapes look phallic and the sofa arms look positively pornographic. However, I didn’t see it IRL but in a pic on TPF kindly posted by one of our members @lilneko69 Post 2639 in 2022 offers thread. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/hermes-new-york-city-stores.666239/page-176

I get that, but my vote would be Cheetos and hot dogs. LOL

I don’t think it’s attractive at all and will be horribly dated in 3-5 years. But I guess they have plenty of money to renovate…LOL

Hope you are better soon, @Tonimichelle !! I don't like bag charms for me, but I love the RooRoo, lol! But I just have it in a pouch.

Yes, they look like dirty water dogs, which I guess is fitting for its location. And I think the decor already looks outdated.

lol they do look like hot dogs....I think if it were a deeper brown it might look better....I like the ceiling and the wooden chest but I think the sofas need a little bit more contrast and the carpet is the part I really don't like....Its not abstract enough to be modern, it just looks messy and unfinished....I think if they change the sofa contour and color it would be better...its too round.

Might be inappropriate but i think the in the loop belt bag kinda looks like the two adjacent orifices on a female’s anatomy . #plsdontblockme
