You can def. see it more in the earrings set
Oh I definitely love them...I just feel guilty when DH and I arrive at the restaurant and he goes to hand me his cell phone to put in my bag.
I would fall over if mine handed me his phone at dinner.
Mr. Politics can't stay off Twitter (I just can't call it X, I can't, I'm old.) for five minutes.... God forbid.
I have to agree with your UO! I like my MK’s for nights out. It fits my regular size iPhone just fine. My phone case holds cc. I can also fit lip gloss and a thin pack of mints. And even a small power bank! Don’t really need anything else!I'm starting to think that the actual UO surrounding the MK is liking it.
Which leads me to my UO.. I really love the MK, but I think that I look at it for what it is. Totally impractical, doesn't hold anything, it's just for looks to me. All form, very little function.
From an aesthetic perspective, I think it is adorable and chic for nights out. Truthfully, I only really use MKs for date nights with my husband, no kids, when I literally don't carry anything with me outside of lip gloss; no CCs, maybe an ID, no car keys.
Unpopular opinion for sure but I wish Hermes made more...practical bags. I live in NYC, I'm a lawyer that goes into the office most days, and by subway (with a long walk to Hudson Yards!). I want a bag with an exterior pocket for a phone/metrocard, that zips closed, that's relatively lightweight, that can fit enough to leave the house for the day. The current bags are beautiful, lovely for perhaps weekends, but not practical for my daily lifestyle. I know, why spoil Hermes with pragmatism, but for the money, I'd love something more suitable for the NYC grind.
I'm also rather annoyed that I seem to have to prove I am not a bot every time I visit the site when reaching it from a link here, and am then redirected not to the specific page but the home page.
My final unpopular opinion for the day is that the scarf rings are underrated and I have amassed an inappropriately sized collection.

💯 to all of the above. I can get my iphone15; card case; and sunglasses in my valextra universal case or mints/sanitizer inside. . . As I get older, I dislike bag weight
Agree with you - I use my 35cm bolide for this kind of use, but I long for a 32 or 35cm lakis!!! (Also a NYC lawyer)
It's the Lawyers' Lament - why can't someone make a beautiful, lightweight, elegant, easy-to-access bag that doesn't give icky briefcase vibes and holds a laptop without looking like people are schlepping their whole office around! I feel like a 35 Lakis could be the answer but UO it is just Too Much Bag in the larger sizes.
Hahaha! We have had many conversations specifically about that urban myth and the behind the scenes shrink wrap machines with the BH SAs. In fact, shrink wrap is no longer used in BH. Generally, single use plastics have been banned in many cities in California, including plastic bags and straws. All new boxes are wrapped in a single brown strip of paper that resembles brown paper wrapping.
I know this is not popular, but my SA is truly one of my most treasured buddies, really.

This apparently is the space for some gentle, good natured roasting, so here goes.
Looking at specifically the Facebook group posts bragging about most recent qb offers, as someone who recently was offered a B, here’s my UO: no, my SA is not the “sweeeetest SA ever!!!!”

Discontinued now, but a Caravan or Caban might fit your requirements?
1. Buy an Evelyne 29 and a pouch to go in it. Job done.
2. 💯 H's bot detector is a good reminder to never trust or rely on technology completely.
3. 💯 If my memory serves me correctly I have 7 (including 2 croc Romance, 2 Mors, 2 flat reversible Cd'As and the brown/yellow/white enamel buckle design). One Chaine d'Ancre was a mistake, I thought I'd lost the original and replaced it with the same as I couldn't live without it.
IMO, scarf rings are like bag charms and cadenas, someone has to a) love them, know which ones will suit them and b) get into the habit of using them (playing around when there's time). Getting dressed is usually in a hurry, that's not going to be the time when one starts trying to figure out how to work with a new accessory.
My UO H belt kits have an unwarranted bad reputation as 'loud' and flashy. Firstly, a Constance buckle is only one choice, there are plenty more, and even then most buckles are fairly small. Secondly, swinging a B, K, or especially C, or flip-flopping in Orans, or basically any recent H shoe, is just as H-signifying.
Well said. Charms, Cadenas, Scarf rings are well worn by people who really love them and know how to integrate them into their general aesthetics. That's why the trend of 'Jane Birkinfying' has been a disaster for the most part. People who normally won't use charms are piling items from their toy boxes and jewellery cases.
To stay OT, my UO is Hermès Charms are sooo boring. Loewe, miumiu, Fendi even coach and Kate Spade beat the designs any day
Not OP, but unfortunately this combo would not even come close to meeting the functional need IME and looks way too casual. UO I just can’t seem to make my Evelyne work for me in any setting lol. I do love the “pouch inside the bag” solution for other uses though. I have a gold evercolour Zipengo that I throw into a YSL straw tote or even into a Le Pliage when I’m on very casual vacations
Hermes is too limiting for my stationary needs: I need an HERMES 3 ring binder for work presentations - 1 inch and under in beautiful assorted leathers and colors. Also, should offer us personalized/monogrammed paper and pens.
