How freaking many cream or black
Cashmere coats is Hermes going to come out with? Rtw has become so boring and repetitive. Thoroughly disappointed.

Agreed, I was confused when I saw the new items online. They look all the same to me😆
 
Hermès’ journey is nothing new; it’s not some groundbreaking marketing strategy we’ve never seen before. If you truly appreciate the brand and its aesthetic, there are likely several product categories you’d be interested in. Historically, even clients who focused mainly on bags would also purchase wallets, clutches, and other accessories—remember how popular the Jige clutch used to be?

Today, many new customers are solely interested in the bags, often because of the perceived investment value or the status. These are usually the ones who take offense when encouraged to show a more well-rounded interest in the brand. ‘Journey’ is, essentially, a definition of what being the brand’s client means.

Absolutely! I always find it a bit odd when someone says they only like the bags. Hermès has such a distinct and cohesive aesthetic—of course, you won’t love every single piece, but appreciating the brand goes beyond just handbags. In any case Hermes doesn't see itself as a handbag company!

UO: I apologise if this was mentioned before but I quite frankly don't understand the appeal of the "To-Go" collections. I was offered both a Constance To Go and a Kelly To Go, both of which I rejected. I don't see the appeal of such a slim wallet. I have more than enough card space but the bag isn't wide enough for anything much other than keys and a lip balm. It just feels incredibly impractical as I will undoubtedly need another bag to put my things in. I don't understand why not buy a bag big enough to fit a wallet instead of cramming and buying a wallet-turned-bag. To me it feels like such a waste of money! Buy a non-designer wallet and buy a bag. Don't buy something that definitely does not offer "the best of both worlds". At least for Chanel WOCs, (which I don't like as well) I understand buying something from the brand at a lower price point than a bag, but when a "To-Go" wallet at Hermes costs around 6,000 USD or more, I can't find myself justifying that kind of money for a glorified wallet.
I have a KTG which I use all the time. It can fit my phone as well. I like to bring it traveling as a great dinner bag, and when I'm doing the crossbody + tote thing. I find I get a lot of use out of it.
 
UO:
I know it's been mentioned but I just don't get the crybaby or labubu trend. I'm all for a jeweled bag charm but the stuffed animals on an exotic birkin....why?!
This was in The Washington Post just today (hopefully it’s unlocked since I chose to gift the link). It might help explain the allure? I have to admit they’re growing on me, but…

UO: WHY are the necklines on the knitwear so high?! My broad shoulders and short neck refuse to cooperate with any of the sweaters :(

Hence my recent torn neckline on one my sweaters. And now that I remember, it happened on a knit dress from H a few years back too. Had both repaired by my local tailor. Quite annoying though. I will be avoiding those types of necklines going forward.
