The garden party bag looks exactly like my moms Walmart gardening bag. #sorrynotsorry

The Hermes game/begging for birkin or kelly is kind of insulting and unethical in some ways. We all play it of course, and most of us have been successful, but it is not ideal and very frustrating!
I hate epsom for bags.
Hermes needs to stop focusing on trends which they've been doing for the past couple years and go back to their old ways.
Almost $4000 for a kelly bag charm???? What a joke.
They can do so much better with their fine jewelry line. They have so much potential but always under-deliver for most pieces. Some are ok.

It wouldn’t be a game if you enjoy the journey as much as the end game.
Hermes granting iconic bag offers to social media bloggers who barely spend coz they know these bloggers can help promote their brand more by making us regular customers ‘beg’ for our dream bag and tempt us to spend a lot more on other items to hit our quota spend. I guess it’s just another strategy ♀️
Not a fan of using necklace chains and twillons to turn a kelly / Constance wallet, kelly pochette, b25 into a shoulder or sling ‘mini bag’. If you want something with a strap, get a woc/bag that has been designed for it. I understand it is hard to acquire some of these more popular iconic bags e.g Kellys and mini Constances but equally trying to compromise and settle for something that isn’t exactly what you want is also not satisfying.
Umm and adding a ’handle’ on mini c isn’t my cup of tea. Looks cute sometimes if set up proportionally but I feel for the leather strap.. I guess the strap is a bit long for some people?

My unpopular H opinion is (I'm sorry other forum members because I know I'm in the minority here)...deep breath....Here goes
I Cant stand Twillies and charms on Hermes bags-Phew I've said it!
Though I know the twillies are practical and they do protect the handles I just find them fussy
and I feel the charms although far from cheap and beautifully made just detract from the beauty of the leather and the purity of the design.
To me they just smack of the brand finding another very lucrative revenue stream from offcuts (like petit H) I know that as a Business Hermes is wise to find other more accessible items to sell to the public and I applaud the zero (or minimal waste) innovation of these products however its not my 'thing'
You never know-One day I may change my mind and I'll end up with heavily accessorised bags that I'll be posting on the forum but for now..Pass.

Not sure if it's better or worse than LV's junky new creations.
Has anyone mentioned that the Lindy is one of the least attractive bags produced, ever, by any designer?
*not an H aficionado so please take my opinion with a grain of salt*

I totally agree. The Lindy looks like the designer made a mistake. and then tried to correct it by adding straps.
I can’t stand when the perforated H on an Evelyn is worn facing out - it is intended to be worn on the inside. I find it so tacky. I prefer quiet displays of wealth. I also think the idea of lining up for Hermes, be it in Paris, Tokyo or at a public sale, abhorrent. I would never subjugate myself to that indignity when buying luxury goods! Okay, I stand here waiting to be pummelled by rotten fruit.
I totally agree. No twillies. No bag charms. Thank goodness I can save some money there!
I love CDCs and have a great collection of mostly exotics...but when Hermès started mass producing them it broke my heart a little lol. Still love them but it’s different now. That was one of the big mistakes, in my opinion.
I hate pairing hermes bags with non-hermes shoes except for sneakers .
I hate it when ladies use big bags with gowns or to black tie events ! you don't have to carry your most expansive bag every where just because it is expansive ! Togo B30 with a gown! where is the fashion police ? even a b25 is not acceptable ! k25 ? hmmmm on older ladies , maybe ...
