What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

[lolakitten]

I’m not a fan of the big shiny in your face H, especially when there’s more than one worn at a time; Constance, belt, clic clac, etc.
(Although I hold the same sentiment for other brands too, CCs etc, not just H)

I dislike the pastel baby colours and cutesy things on adult women. Bubblegum pink bags, pink bows, stuffed dangling animals...

I dislike the handbag + sneaker trend, but that’s not limited to H.

LOL I used to feel the same way, then the age of my feet surpassed the age of me.

However, I try to wear only elegant and interesting sneakers (nothing that could be confused with running shoes) that coordinate with my handbag.

The garden party bag looks exactly like my moms Walmart gardening bag. #sorrynotsorry

It's one of the H bags I would actually buy if you could wear it on the shoulder. I could wear it with wellies to complete the look

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.

HATE the clic clacs

 

[FashionForwardChick]

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

TRUTH

 

[Addicted to bags]

I don’t like canvas straps. Can’t you include a leather strap for a bag that costs thousands of dollars???

This!!

 

[maxroxxherhandbags]

I totally agree. No twillies. No bag charms. Thank goodness I can save some money there!

Same!!!

 

[maxroxxherhandbags]

I'm torn about the whole bag charms/twillies on handles/bag decoration debate. I think that there are some bags, people, bag colors, and bag sizes that can pull it off. I think there are some that cannot. In general, the bag decorations that tend to be most endearing to me are the ones, a la Jane Birkin herself (her stickers, beads, etc. that she uses for her own Birkin), that add an element of idiosyncratic personal flair. If the whole arrangement seems too "precious", "perfect", or "gussied up", it adds discomfort instead of the opposite...and comfort, no matter the price point or material, is what makes something seem attractive and well executed.

Gosh! I think I totally agree with you..

 

[Coco.lover]

Seriously?

It was a Constance wallet, but still I was a little taken back by it. I did eventually get a Constace which lasted a year in my collection. The hassle of opening and closing mixed with the fact it cost more than my B 25. It just didn't live up to my dreams.

LOL...if someone just stumbled on this thread, they'd think we were all Hermes haters!

Seriously. Or masochists for continuing to be loyal H'ers despite...

 

[maxroxxherhandbags]

The Berline stitching reminds me of a diner booth and the Verrou clasp reminds me of a bathroom stall lock.

I agree re'Verou I just think it looks silly!
And I can't stand the 24/24 either and the toolbox I'm a little meh over now I think about it

 

[GoldFish8]

Vert Criquet reminds me of a bad sinus infection. I can’t unsee it.

 

[Rockerchic]

I think it's ridiculous that people who can buy a Birken are subjected to false statements of "sorry we have none in stock".

Wowzers, thanks for starting this. It's a fun thread and giving me a lot of head nods and laughs!

Sadistic SMs or SAS who happen to be in a powerful position and enjoy humiliating very respectable customers when they ask about quota bags.(reminds me of seinfeld episode no soup for you) .
