What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

[annaria]

I'm not comfortable being in purse peace!

It's a very weird feeling, this contentment.

I am waiting on an update from my SA on a B35, and I'm even off to Japan in a few weeks, with a Paris trip in the autumn. But no scheming for Japan or Paris, no obsessive trolling for content.

Just enjoying my latest bag. Has never happened before and OMG I am so confused!

I don’t know why people don’t at least close the Kelly buckle on their Kelly. I can understand leaving the sangles undone but the buckle is not that complicated.

Why risk looking like an idiot when all your stuff falls out on the floor?

Please don’t hate me but I can’t find the attractiveness of Birkin. Now Kelly on the other hand, is a different story

My unpopular opinion: adding non-Hermes straps to convert handbags (Picotin/In The Loop) into shoulder bags, and thus, changing the entire Hermes design of that bag. Or making handles out of twillies (Evelyne). Or speculating which non-Hermes hardware clip to purchase and how to attach it to a Hermes bag (I saw it mostly in Picotins and In The Loops) to squeeze that shoulder strap. If one wants and must have shoulder bags only, buy a shoulder bag. Not every bag needs to be a shoulder bag. I do not get the conversions.

I wholeheartedly agree. Although I thought the twilly handle with Evelyn was actually an Hermes "design". I've seen them style it like that on their own website.

I think someone mentioned it before but I hate when someone says they “scored.” It makes me cringe every time...

All make me cringe ..
Re: the 'H Fairy'
The SA is selling you stuff doing his or her job..
You are spending thousands of pounds they are not a 'fairy' If they were they'd be conjuring up dream bags and handing them out for free...(if only...)
Meanwhile another unpopular opinion.
I LOVE the Astrologie scarf and have wanted one for ages saw one on display in a bright blue..promptly messaged my 'H Fairy' to ask if we had it in burgundy or indigo in fact anything other than bright blue...
The response NO! they've relaunched the spring version of this scarf just in that colour way ...
WHY?!?!?!

I actually resent the term ‘quota’ bag. It makes it sound like rationing during the 40’s or something. I can understand wanting a Kelly or a birkin - but ‘quota bag’? In my mind it degrades these beautiful items. Btw just for anyone reading this who may be new to Hermes- don’t EVER use that term in a boutique. They won’t know what on earth we are talking about…

I just saw Miss Faubourg use the term quota bag on her IG today.

Really?
In Paris and London SAs know what it means and they use it nonchalantly all the time

My SA uses the term as well.

I have a growing inability to stand bric a brac bags (or really any toiletry bag from any brand) being used as handbags. I find people who attach chains to makeup pouches, that are either part of a set or a GWP, and wear them as purses extremely tacky.

I know someone that’s wears it like that and can confirm she is indeed a tacky person regardless of the purse situation.

I think somebody mentioned that Kelly Doll bags were creepy. I completely agree. Dolls in general are creepy, so purses made to look like dolls complete with eyes creep me out as well. My grandmother gave me a small porcelain doll that had the same hair and eye color as me and put it on a shelf so that it would stare at me as I slept (I wasn't really creeped out by dolls at this point). I quickly took the doll, put it into the deepest part of my closet under everything. Five minutes later, I walk back into my room and the doll is back in the exact same position. No one walked into my room in that time. Hello nightmares. So if I see dolls or things made to look like dolls, I will give it the sketchiest side-eye, back away slowly, and when I am close enough to the exit Usain Bolt-ing it down the hallway and YEET-ing myself into the nearest elevator all the while praying to all the gods that I can think of like Beni from The Mummy (1999) when he sees Imhotep for the first time after coming back to life.
