Unpopular opinions: :hysteric:

- I have never ever ever figured out what my personal “pre-spend” is.
- Constance belts are not attractive and make wearing a shirt challenging.
- (ducks for cover) Black Bags are boring.



YESSSSS I totally miss that!



It’s supposed to be a little naughty and subversive. :graucho:



They’re relatively inexpensive but useful pieces. To me, they’re kind of like jelly beans, in lots of fun colors. Also, utility-wise they’re great for the very small bags (KP, MKII, etc). Since we are still mid-construction, half the time my day bag is a… Patagonia Fanny Pack :wtf: [need an H bag that’s as easy as that!]






Hmm. :confused1: I do agree that the Chypre is NOT an attractive shoes. I always hated them until my SA made me try on a pair…wow, they are really comfortable, though.



I avoided and denounced the Orans for many years, until I tried them. Now I wear them constantly for as long as the weather allows. It is truly a love or hate thing with Orans, and they either fit your feet perfectly or horrendously.

Oh, by the way - most bag organizers will distort your bag by pressing into the interior pockets.

While I’m at it, the scarf photos on the website are beyond useless - 25+ years of collecting and I can count the number of times I’ve seen a scarf worn pirate-style on one hand. I have more eyeballs than the number of times I’ve seen one worn as a top. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

But it is a good strategy for keeping the sun out of your eyes, and your hair in place while riding in a convertable.

Let's test this:

- H bags are the quintessence of granny bags. They are the anchor that will tie down (and sink) your style forever into "grannydom".

- More important though, they are the ultimate tulip bulbs, let's call that phenomenon the "leather tulip bulb bubble", one which I cannot wait to see pop.

- They are rumblings of a major financial crisis ahead of us; when that crash happens, taking down with it the luxury industry and therefore the whole designer handbag market, I am very curious to see what become of the designer handbag game.

- I am even more curious to see what will become of those huge handbag collections, and those "investment bags" (whatever that means), chief among which those H bags collections...

- In any case, the H pop, when it happens, will be the most satisfying pop sound ever...

Wow, your "Granny bag" is my timeless classic, and given the number of fashionistas/influencers/fashion icons sporting the I don't think it will tie down anyone's style into "grannydom."

If someone is seriously buying Hermès bags as investments they're idiots. You buy them because you love them. End of story. If they are "investments" its because you'll use them for decades, as opposed to just a few years while they're "in style."

If there is a financial melt down, anyone invested in stock is going to also going to lose money.

Right now, I agree, luxury is "on trend." Interest in Hermès is unlikely to "pop" but if rappers/hip hop stars are no longer buying bags in multiples for their wives/baby mommas, it's likely you'll see a deflation of prices on resale sites.

Well I guess that will be the ultimate test, right?
The great sorting of those who actually love those bags (and who have all my respect, after all grannycore is a respectable style, just like any other :lol:) from the fakers, poseurs and impostors who will therefore be exposed...? Yay?

Anyhow, anyone who thinks the demand for these bag cannot crash is delusional. Every other cool/it/fashionable bag before has had its time and then faded away. Not so long ago, when I was a girl, nobody would have dreamt of stepping outside carrying a K besides your grandma. Actually H bags were the kind of stuff Bernadette Chirac's muppet was clutching on Canal+ Guignols :lol: (IYKYK)
Are links allowed?



Again IYKYK!

Their coolness is totally manufactured and will die down at some point.

Again, that is fine, as a Bal Motorcycle GGH fan myself, only now scratching this itch 20 years after the "it" moment, everyone around me thinks my bags are passé and that I look like a hasbeen. Fine with me!

But let's get real here, the H bubble cannot not burst. That would go against all the laws of the univers, from gravity to Divine Law!
Armbaggedon, I say, and that will be a sight to behold!

Cheers!

TBH I really hope that bubble does burst. I'd love to be able to carry my bag without it being an 'It bag' worn by every other celeb and instagrammer and without the general public having an over inflated idea of it's price / value. If it loses value that's great, I can just go back to enjoying it quietly by myself without having to hope no one else will notice it!

I would love to see the bubble burst! If you don't love it because you actually love it (as opposed to some influencer telling you that it's a sign of luxury or something), why waste everyone's time--yours included?

Another unpopular opinion: just because older women might like a certain look doesn't mean it's "granny style." Classic, elegant, refined styles are timeless. If someone told me I was dressed like my grandmother, I'd be flattered* because they were both incredibly stylish women!

*Caveat being that if someone told me my dress looked like something my maternal grandmother wore in the last few years of her life, I'd probably go cry in a corner. Beautiful woman, great style, (justifiably) stopped giving a sh!t at 90.
