What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

I love whimsy and cute - I was excited to see a new Malice, and some days I think about trying to find the entire menagerie and grocery basket of H coin purses…

But what bugs me are useless things. Like the Rodeos, and mini Orans, and other children’s toys on the outside of the bag.

It would be one thing if they were intended to be keychains and were repurposed. Like the Kelly charm that can at least hold AirPods or change. But Rodeos were made to be useless, and that makes me a little sad.
 
Do people still buy the chypres and the fuzzy orans now? I think it was all hype.
Not sure if it was all just hype, as I do notice an abundance of availability of the chypres now vs before.
To stay on topic: I have two pairs of older chypres and just recently bought a pair of the genius sandals. Unpopular opinion---I am drawn more to things when they are not trendy/everyone has them.
 
I like epsom.

There, I said it. I never did like epsom, and I'll be honest I still wouldn't choose it if presented with other alternatives I prefer (chamonix being my favourite). I got home from the hairdresser and realised some black hair dye was on the side of my epsom nata bolide.

It took a little bit of rubbing with a wet tissue to get it off, but it came off. With no mark left behind. Epsom, like some other leathers (thinking of togo, clemence etc), is pretty hardy!
 
I once thought one bag was enough

Every other decade, I vacillate between being a birkin or Kelly person (cannot stick to one or the other)

Sometimes I think Togo is suburban bougie, thereby dissing half my poor bags

When I carry a mini bag, I feel guilty ordering a large burger and fries. It’s not just that the bag should be big enough in case I want ilunch to go. It’s also that I need not to ingest too many calories with tiny accessories. (Probably this overthinking is why i “only” have one MKII)

This Is the best UO post after no creepy dolls as bag charms and no exotic reptile skins for bags 😂
