What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

[J'adoreHermes]

It annoys me when people place an Avalon blanket or pillow(s) on a couch or bed in the hope that the room will miraculously look more expensive and put together. I find it especially annoying when home stagers do this.
An Avalon blanket does not make cheap furniture look expensive!

Some RTW pieces really don't look good on anyone!

I’m not at all keen on H jewellery, especially the leather bracelets and clic clacs. Sometimes there’s just too much H in H. And I see I’m not alone in disliking scarves and knickknacks hanging off bags.

I don't like Epsom for bags. There, I said it.

I can't knock it for everything, as I have Epsom CDCs, but I will probably never buy any Epsom bags or SLGs.

I am with you!

I don’t have any H bags, but out of curiosity, if the Evelyne is meant to be used the perforated H not showing, why the first picture of it in the Hermes website is the perforated side? Usually the first picture of the bag on the websites is the frontside.

Actually, even in the modelling pic the H side is outside..

My unpopular opinion is that Hermes is 'quiet luxury' and I think too many people pick on the Evelyne perforated H being shown. What about so many of their other products? If you are wearing a B, K, Constance, watch, belt, or some of the bracelets, they are all screaming Hermes. If you want to be under the radar, buy a no name leather bag.

There are plenty of real UTR bags at H though. This is why many enjoy their Plumes, Bolides, GPs and so on. Enjoying the quietness and the quality.

Lots of people wear the Evie H-side-in as it was designed (as a groom's bag) it's just people only seem to notice when people use them the other (H) way. Doesn't matter to me the way people wear their bags unless it compromises the bag, and even then, I guess it's their bag (it still makes me wince though).

I think that the Constance is ugly. Wife still wants to try one on when the boutiques open again. I need to work out a code word with my SA that hides my obvious shaking of my head no.

Not a fan of their brown shades, and this includes Gold. Just looks blah to me.

I think that the Avalon pillows are overstuffed. Not comfortable if behind me where the blankets are great.

Mini bags look ridiculous to me. I get that it’s a trend, but it looks like grown women are going into American Dream stores and walking out with bags minus the dolls.

Himalayan croc. It’s ugly and ostentatious. Even worse with diamonds.

 

[noegirl]

I dont understand the logic behind buying bags and not wearing them or the overwhelming need to keep them pristine.

It looks like the leather has gone moldy to me!

Lizard skin in ombre with a lot of rings gives me the creeps. I wouldn't go anywhere near it. I am OK with solid coloured no ring lizard skin though and I think it can be beautiful!

 

[AndyMor]

My unpopular opinion is I dislike ostrich on bags...the bumpy skin is like a bad rash and makes me feel itchy when I see it.

Agree! Reminds me of my hormonal teenage skin angst no matter how much I try to love ostrich. Especially in skin tone colors!

 

[Sferics]

My unpopular opinion is that Hermes "H" Belts are tacky and plebby as hell.

My out-of-town close friend (and H fan) sometimes come with me on my H shopping and one time her sister in law came along and kept bugging my SA for a quota bag. My SA was nice to her and showed her some other things she said she wanted (but she actually didn’t). She just kept pointing to my K25 and saying that’s what I want.

Cringe...
