I don't know why this photo is here (I trust the amazing @addiCCted just wants to provoke some opinions :smile: ) but here's an unpopular one....I hated all Cargo bags until I saw them in person. I still think the B is iffy but the Pico version is actually very cool.

I mentioned the cargo birkin was trying too hard (actually I said cargo Kelly, which does not exist...yet...) esp the coffee holder one. Anyways, I actually saw someone post on the Hermes In Action thread rocking the cargo birkin and it actually looked pretty good...so...... you may be right as with all things Hermes....it may look better in person than on pics. :biggrin::biggrin:

I prefer the double compartment C24 over the new re-issue single compartment C24. I have seen the reissue carried by customers in my local H boutique and it looks so flat - the kind of flat you see as bags age and lose their shape. I'm curious to see how the re-issue will age but I speculate not well. I likely wouldn't use the back pocket anyways as my phone will stretch the back pocket. I am pretty good with letting my bags age, but a stretched pocket would drive me nuts.

Unpopular opinion: it's okay to be frustrated about how long/how much spend it takes for you to be offered in terms of a quota bag; especially when you hear about some others get quota bag offers much sooner/with less spend. The company likes to perpetuate this sentiment that every person's "journey" is different and shouldn't be compared but I think that's nonsense. It's a business and there should be fairly consistent when it comes to their treatment of all their clients. Not saying you should express this frustration in a negative way to SAs but its okay to feel it.

I have a new unpopular opinion . So many of the new bags seem to have been inspired by the infamous Himalaya birkin!

No, not that Himalayan birkin, this Himalaya birkin:

Please don't take any offense everyone who can't wait to get their hands on the upcoming sausage roll bag, the neck warmer, the Birkin or Kelly with crooked flaps or asymmetric pockets here and there or the random shaped bad with bulging zipper or simply 'flat leather square'. I'm sure you will rock them and in the mean time feel free to throw your rotten tomatoes my way . I'm just a bit disappointed because I'm looking for a smaller easy access shoulder bag and all the ones that seem to be coming up are a tad too out there for me.

inspired by @Ceeje89's post I wanted to add an unpopular opinion.
I dont like that Kelly's over 28cm have narrow shoulder straps that to me look disproportionate with a 32/35 or 40cm bag.
Ditto the 24/24 29cm I felt the strap that came with the bag looked too slender in width for the bag.
The 24/24 is a pretty solid looking bag, not a ladylike handbag shape in the 29cm size so why not have a more solid looking strap?
JMO...I'm sure it'll prove unpopular !

Not unpopular with me. I have both bags and concur completely.

:yes: Agree. I also think the bigger the bag, the heavier it is, which puts more pressure on the shoulder/ back when the strap is narrow.

Probably very unpopular opinion - I think a beautiful leather bag paired with a wide (especially cloth/canvas/nylon) strap just looks proportionally strange and destroys the aesthetic. The Evelyne is therefore NOT on my wishlist :biggrin: But to each their own!

I actually quite like a Kelly 28 or bigger retourne with one of those wider bag straps you can purchase separately. It means it can be worn cross-body on taller people and gives it a more relaxed vibe in line with the retourne shape.

Exactly! Adding a wider strap to my Kelly 32 renders it a little more casual which is more appropriate for who I am and the way that I dress.

My unpopular opinion is that I wish H would be a bit more whimsical with its fine jewellery. H has a light-hearted side it shows in some scarf designs, Le Monde d'Hermès, etc. I find most of what I see quite ‘safe’ in the jewellery department and ,while there is nothing wrong with it, it doesn’t excite me.

Thats why i still dont own any H fine jewelry up to now.

I lean towards BVLGARI first, then VCA.

They need to step up their game on fine jewelry.
