What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

I think Hermes should make an extended dog and cat line from more practical collars and leashes (not simply the leather ones) to at the higher end: puffer vests; sweaters; and jungle love t shirts. I think it would be just as popular as the baby line. And how cute would a little toy be:) Which would take care of my holiday gifts list for the next twenty years

Yes, please make some cat stuff! Cat owners are offended to be not included. :blah:

Yes! It amazes me how limited the options are for tote-style dog bags. I had bags from Gucci and LV when my furbaby was a pup - neither houses offer those any longer. Fortunately I discovered the Goyard (I think it was called the Hardy), sadly now also discontinued.

I do sort of like the H shoulder tote but it's not going to fool anyone that it's not a dog bag with that netting at the end, which is a deal breaker for me.

@axlm, how funny, I used to share your opinion. I also feel that gold, esp gold with GHW, which is super popular nowadays, is preppy like a ralph Lauren ad.

I now oddly love gold. With phw, it’s become very modern to me. . . :lol: I even buy bags for my DH in gold. I am your opposite though, in that I avoid colors similar to gold as I think that they are ashy next to my skintone. The unpopular part of my new opinion is that I now suddenly find gold more versatile than etoupe.

Another very unpopular opinion on TPF is that I adore swift, IMO it’s durable, carefree, and in gold, it functions similarly in my wardrobe as a barenia fauve HAC (first pic) I rehomed bc it was gold on gold. I also like big bags like the picotin TGM and am a new convert to epsom due to my 25B.

barenia HAC, BBK28, ghw (my taste in 2008 lol)
black barenia 30B, gold swift B30, brushed Phw (my taste today :smile:

Omg, that first all black outfit + gold B, LOVE!
 
When the Della Cavalleria first came out I thought of getting it. But then someone mentioned that the hardware looks like a gyn stirrup and I just can't un-see it, even though I know it's inspired by a horse bit. Being in the equestrian world I should know better. So now the DC is off my list.

On the converse, someone mentioned that the hardware on the Verrou looks like a bathroom stall lock, but that doesn't bother me. I still see the horse stall lock and love it. Odd, I know.

I actually way prefer the gold colour with PHW, it somehow changes the tone of the gold leather!

I’m loving the giant pico on you. And possibly on me :biggrin:
 
Thank you so much @880- coming from you that's quite a compliment!
To stay OT, I'll add my unpopular opinion ( although most of mine have been voiced already)... I think Togo does not take most colors ( especially the darker ones ( noir, VC, etc. ) well. The color usually looks dull to me in that leather.
I will now duck the flying Togo bags ( which will NOT scratch, so there's a plus! :lol: )

Gotta say after owning several Togo bags that I agree 100% on this. Add to that bright colors… I find the saturation to be lacking.
