Summing it up before you continue...long-time lurker, seldom poster and about to begin my Hermes journey.
I've finally decided it's time for me to begin dipping my toes into the orange pool of Hermes. I will be starting with a mix of shoes, fashion & fine jewelry, SLGS, two Evelynes (ideally looking for the 29 in Etoupe and a bright/fun color in the 16), home items (Avalon blanket and pillow and other items for my home office), and, once I am doing in-person meetings in Manhattan again, a black Garden Party to tote around my laptop and other "city" essentials when I am running around the city.
My question is this: when you were starting out with Hermes - whether your ultimate goal was to score a Birkin or Kelly - what do you wish you had known back then? Any regrets or coulda/woulda/shoulda moments? I want to go in knowing I'm in for the long haul and my wishlist is something I hope to work on over years to come. For those who have been in it for a while, what do you wish you had known prior to walking into the store for the first time?
