I totally get what he was trying to say, but that doesn't make the comparison to Aldo any less blasphemous
That’s what I used to think about Bolides….looks like any old bag on the street until you realize this was the original and everyone else was just a knock off.I totally get what he was trying to say, but that doesn't make the comparison to Aldo any less blasphemous
Funny you should say that because DH voiced this controversial opinion after I picked up ...
yup you got it, a Bolide in Gold

Things that I totally agree with but at the same time makes me feel like I’ve joined a cult:
“Everyone’s journey is different”
“Just buy what you love”
“I’m so grateful to even get what I received”
“Everyone’s journey is different”
“Just buy what you love”
“I’m so grateful to even get what I received”
I have no desire to own a quota bag because they're the ones everyone else wants and I never want to be like everyone else.
The metal saddle box looks like a street garbage can. I wouldn’t be surprised if a reverse image search of it would show garbage cans, and indeed it does. Much to my surprise, it’s cheaper to buy a Hermes trash can.

I generally agree but in the US at least even buying basic items now requires an SA. My closest boutique literally has almost nothing in stock, I’m talking from shoes to shirts to plates. And they won’t even bother ordering for you unless you have an “in” or an SA who likes you or whatever.
I guess they don’t need the sales so what do they care (they must be selling plenty already to VIPs). But I guess my unpopular opinion is: I actually kind of get the “game” players. I can’t/won’t so I just only shop when I travel back to Europe to visit friends/family, but I still don’t get the judgment (not from you! Just in general) to those who love and desire Hermes enough to play the game here or in Asia. To each their own, it’s like people who stay up late and refresh for Taylor swift tickets: so what, they want to.
If my unpopular opinion has to be about Hermes only, let me add: I don’t get why they make ashtrays still. Keep the designs make them into jewelry trays or something, it’s 2023.
this is going to be OT but has smoking culture waned in France? Or Europe for that matter?
Ahhh I have the Hermes trash can! And now I can’t unsee the comparison! At least I saved a few bucks!!
I don’t visit France often and when I do it’s only Paris and a small city close to it, I’d say it’s less than before but not gone, in my limited experience. Scandinavia is where I have experience and yeah, smoking culture is waaaay lower, but they do a version of chewing tobacco it’s like a tiny teabag with nicotine in it that you put under your lip.
To attempt to stay on topic: I don’t like the Hermes orange tone Feu at all, and heard about how “classic” it is multiple times. No thanks, Hermes.
I live in Paris and smoking is way up and considered cool in the teen/college crowd, so, to stay on topic, I agree I’ve been surprised by the ashtrays for years, but now I see it’s just Hermes as always understanding that some things are eternal. (As someone who has never smoked, it’s a mystery to me but no judgment!)
Great point. I thought they may have been going for the "laundry basket with Bluetooth speaker capabilities" vibe.
