I laughed out loud at the mental image of hanging the bag around your neck. I’m generally on your wavelength though for me it depends on just how heavy the tote I’m lugging around is and how grimy the floor looks. I have a bag hook but have also had a waiter drop food on my Chanel flap when collecting our plates so it’s not a great option. I’m not sure that feet on bag do a lot in this respect but I wish the GP came with feet.
What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

Haha I have hung a bag around my neck in a toilet stall where there is no place to hang a bag. I do NOT put bags on bathroom floors.
Haha don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion!
Unpopular opinion, ignorance is NOT bliss. I really want to know why my SA will not sell not the following to me with zero explanation: Birkin or Kelly Touch, the Orange Bag charm, the CDC cuffs. He said they are not ”YOU”. He did offer me amazing alternatives, if they were within my “age” limit.
i adore this pic
I don’t see you in an orange bag charm or CDC cuff either. Next time, I’ll bring a CDC out so you can try lol (I’m pretty sure that I didn’t give all of mine away but haven’t worn any in maybe more than ten years)
ETA: I can see someone younger than us or much older than us, both wearing Doc martens, a CDC, and torn jeans. I don’t see you wearing one with RTW JMO, though
unpopular opinion: I cannot wear all H from head to toe, like many do, without imposter syndrome
even the UES trifecta : H, Chanel, and VCA can overwhelm.
Other unpopular opinion, is despite fears of recession, I still see plenty of bling in the wild, so I’m not really worried about wearing my stuff (I definitely do not stand out). And, any H stuff is too costly to simply sit in the closet
@haute okole , I think your SA would say that you’ve blown past all that named above, and you’d go home thinking what did I just buy. . . .

Actually very good to know!! I buy their perfumes, and had considered the lippies.
I feel too many people get caught either the excitement of moment of being offered by the Hermes fairy and later realize they are not going to store another 20,000$ bag or get tempted to flip and make a profit so they politely accept the offer. I mean, who would in the right mind turn down an offer for a sought after pink/ black/ gray popular B/K 25 at the store?
The champagne, and glamour of being one of few who made it to kiss the ring, makes it so hard for the faint hearted to say no at the store, but later reality sets and parting with “just a bag” becomes a practical option. On the other hand, these wonderful gifts from the heavens above, priced two or three times higher than retail, await patiently on second hand market for princess who have no cash concerns. I don’t necessarily think all of pretty and sought after bags on resale sites are super fakes, they are certainly overpriced and signs of greed and social media/ peer pressure.
I love the perfumes!
My two fave lipsticks are H...I threw out all my others...to each their own I suppose. I did not like the lipstick oil/slick stuff however.
Me: Chypre are so fugly, I don't get the hype at all 
Also me:
Yep... caved and bought my first pair.
Damn you Hermes.

Your pic is now making me rethink my anti chypre stance; oh wait, my SA can’t get me a pair lol
Not sure where to post this… but I suppose I could somehow make that connection to “ignorance is NOT bliss” comment…. So all these months I thought I bought a C18… Of course, not having any clue between sizes as we really don’t have that luxury comparing size options in store…. and wasn’t expecting to be offered a Constance that day either….. anyways, was sorting through boxes today and noticed that the label read “Constance III 24”…. I’m like, really, and had to get the tape measure out, and yup! I have a C24!!! Love the size, yes, perfect for my stuff and my proportions….. but today I somewhat felt that I was made to believe I was a size 0, and now having woken up to the reality that I am really a size 6…. doh!!! Nothing wrong with being a Size 6… Just is…. So maybe my unpopular opinion is that when shopping at Hermes, never get hung on a pre-conceived idea of what is or should be, aka “the wish list”, because more often, reality could be far from that dream… maybe even better….
