What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

[doloresmia]

i have no idea what anyone should buy in terms of size, color, hardware, etc., in an H bag. That does not stop me from voicing my uninformed opinion.

and to that end, i got my sister to get a beautiful vintage b today. her first. delightful!

I’m with your DH on this one, and I would say my unpopular opinion is the “traditional” neutral colors (gold, etoupe, etain, and their shade families) just don’t do anything for me. Oops!

Too boring and warm toned for me. I love the dark, cool colors.

The double zipper is one of the things I love about the 35 victoria

unpopular opinion: I love the 35 victoria

i also love the fabric lining. Bc it’s lighter

I love that bag. It is the actual perfect travel bag.

I hear you all about the gold. When I showed mine to my husband, he was unimpressed, but I think it’s good to have a few neutrals, and bags I don’t have to do a whole mental calculation as to whether it will go with my outfit or not.

Unpopular opinion: No. Fur. Sandals.

Lining is fine, and I love a big fur boot Apres-Ski style, but the Fur Orans make no sense. When do you wear them? It’s a warm weather shoe made with cold weather material. Do your feet get sweaty?

HAH! My toes alternate between wee little ice cubes and hot little devils all day so I get the fur sandals but I don't own any H ones. I would probably keep them at the office but not wear them outside if I did because of what they'd collect on the outside

OT but have you tried the royal loafers? For the longest time I thought that Big H was soo ostentatious but omg I love how comfortable they are esp in goatskin. I couldn’t resist. I wonder if people that don’t know the shoe will see a “giant H”?

Back on topic. I hate the oran for a different reason. They’re so loud if you don’t walk with intention to control the back of the heel.

I agree completely! That shoe slap is exactly why I went with the Santorini sandals. No slap! LOL!

Congrats to your dear sister! She must be so thrilled

The Attelage motif looks like a maxi pad with wings. View attachment 5734875

Right up there with Jungle Love Tampon.

I love them too and used mine to death. It’s an ideal travel bag. Perfectly understated.

My unpopular opinion: I hate Orans. They are uncomfortable and the last is too broad for my foot. Actually, I’m not keen on any H shoes (except maybe my Bouncing sneakers).

My H SA says the bouncing sneakers are the only comfy H sneakers

But even in those, my feet get tired at the end of a long day on the go! In truth I think it’s better to buy shoes from a “proper“ shoe designer. I can stand all day in Gianvito Rossi or Manolo heels.

I haven’t bought any, so thank you for this feedback. i wear Birkenstocks; golden goose, but with birkenstock or custom insoles, not GG insoles; and a customized pair of sneakers by hiro yanaguchi (Mainly purchased bc DH swears by them)

I love gianvito rossi and Manolo, and envy your ability to wear them regularly. I’ve had ankle cartilage replacement surgery, so heels are an iffy proposition

Lol so much to say about shoes OT! This board needs a thread about what shoes to wear with H bags

Same. For me nothing beats the comfort of a good pair of Nike or Asics

My most comfortable ones are Envol sneakers from last year. Love them

Birkin 20 MWAHAHAHAHA
(or the tote you can only wear as a clutch)

 

[Bagatha Christie]

I think it’s very dubious the birkin slayer account outs people while remaining anonymous themselves (and therefore we can’t establish their motives or credentials.)

yes, mine said the same while I was buying a second pair.
