Yep! I once walked into a LV store and looked at the Horizon roll on suitcase in Monogram Eclipse. A male SA asked if I was looking for a gift. I said, no for myself. He stepped back and exclaimed "you are looking for a man's suitcase for yourself"? It was such a dramatic exclamation, that I said, 'no thank you' and left the store, utterly embarrassed. LOL. I never bought that suitcase, but I still love it.
What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

I wonder what he says to the many cool guys here who carry Kellys...35/32/28/25/20.
I hope so! I love Box. It would be great to see more of it.
I saw a guy at a very popular LA place carrying a beautiful SO B40. No one thought twice about it.
Totally agree. The first time I saw a man carrying a Birkin (a 35 in I think bleu électrique) at a gallery in Melbourne it looked utterly right. Frequent visitor to the guys and their Hermès thread here!
My unpopular opinion is, Hermes not making as many bigger sized bags as quite a few might like is not necessarily a bad thing. These sizes are not as sought after right now and are thus easier to request, vintage or gently used ones are priced accordingly and it is much easier to find a good buy, even in exotics and limited editions. Once the trend shifts the other way, the new retail prices would be far higher. Besides, for many, many years, some of us who are more petite couldn't find small bags which suited us as easily as now. I will always remember my first time trying on a B35 with my namesake SA in PC Hooftstraat and how we both burst out laughing immediately. I could have sat in that bag.
There are always ways to look at things in a more positive light.

Agree... I need to carry a laptop and papers to work each day (but want to still try to look chic!) and I haven't found a H bag that suits (and I also can't get my hands on a bigger Birkin / Kelly from my store). I joke with my SA that H should be for everyday life, not just for weekends and IG; maybe H doesn't think its female customers have to actually work to purchase their items...
I am happy some people enjoy the small bag trend because it best suits their frame (and not just because it's in vogue). However, there are others that need bigger sizes because small bags look silly to their frames, and they're currently out of luck. In short, as echoed above, can the boutiques have a range of items for a broader client base please
I was tiny bit turned off when SA actually used expression 'h fairy'...Do I give off that I would say something like that? LOL
Musing for the day... all of the recent chat on Hermes influencer thread and "person A" copying person B suddenly makes me feel very old.....
That’s also my unpopular opinion ☺️Musing for the day... all of the recent chat on Hermes influencer thread and "person A" copying person B suddenly makes me feel very old.....
I just got a BBB 30 sellier last month. Loving the Box.
That would turn me off too, ‘h fairy’ indeed. Some SAs waste too much time on line and they think we are like what… nine years old? Still I guess it must be bewildering for some SA’s all that social media frenzy. I certainly would not want to deal with some of the angst going on there in the pursuit for bags.
I feel the same. I don't even know any of them.Musing for the day... all of the recent chat on Hermes influencer thread and "person A" copying person B suddenly makes me feel very old.....
Same. I feel so old. I'm not even 30. The entire influencer world is just kind of beyond my capacity.I feel the same. I don't even know any of them.
My unpopular opinion..the Birkin Faubourg is ridiculous. My opinion is a Birkin is supposed to be a carryall tote bag. Having said that, I can appreciate the work that goes into making it because I really love the brand and the artisanal aspect of it. But I would feel so ridiculous walking around with a bag that has a bunch of little windows on it, lol. I also think those tiny Kelly doll bags are just as ridiculous if not worse. I’m not a child, and I don’t understand why they’re making bags to look like dolls for grown women. The little arms are so freaky.
I don’t have a grail bag. In fact, I have no idea what to ask for.
I like to see something and if I fall in love with it, I buy it.
(of course, assuming it’s in my target price range lol)
