I have a croc kelly and croc B... but no experience with Ostrich... My thought is to get the ostrich since I don't have one, but I don't want to miss out the chance for another croc. I heard ostrich handles water well but ages poorly and may discolor... is that right? I always use twillies so I'm less concerned about the handle discoloration... but if the body of the bag gets discolored it'd drive me nuts! Can spa service take care of ostrich aging issues?

I guess you know you are addicted to H when you think picking a Birkin is harder than picking a husband. LOL

So true!!! :roflmfao:

More seriously, I have heard that ostrich handles the rain very well, but please don't quote me on this as it is not gospel just what I have heard. BTW, had lunch with a friend a weeks ago and she had a 40 year old ostrich K that looked perfect.

Ostrich definitely handles water well and croc does not mix with water at all. I personally have owned both and got tired of ostrich after a few years. I've never tired of croc and continue to buy it, for me it's a timeless skin and the ostrich was always something I had to be in the mood to use.

When walking around Harrod's and observing everyone's Bs, Ks, GPs etc dressed up in twillies and other hanging items you wonder if they're members of the forum. You then rack your memory of photos posted on tpf and swear you've seen a snap of that exact bag and accompanying accoutrement in a reveal or clubhouse thread.

Don't have any experience with Hermes ostrich but did have a very large vintage ostrich bag from the fifties which I had totally recut into a then modern style in the 80s. It is thoroughly bomb proof and the leather still looks fabulous with no noticeable colour change. It is now a shoulder bag though so doesn't come in contact with hand cream etc.

Personally I'd get a matt croc if the opportunity arose but change is good too.

PrincessCypress, the scary part for me is that tPF and H.com are the last sites I'll check at night before bed. Happy H dreams. :p

Just discovered this wonderful thread! You ladies are so funny - and true! And - oops - so me... ;) Have not yet read all posts but like to reply to this one right away:

Dear Fabfashion, doing just what you posted right now - like every night... :D

.... When you are not having proper dreams at night but dreaming only H colours and H designs! Very relaxing, indeed. Waking with a big smile in the morning!

I knew I was addicted to H when I found myself thinking it would lighten my wallet substantially to buy 5 mid-market cashmere sweaters, while 1 CSGM shawl at the same price as those 5 sweaters combined, would only sting for a second.

1) When I take the lift, I think of numbers to certain floors in H size terms. For example, on the 22nd floor, I think So Kelly 22, then it reaches 26th floor, I think So Kelly 26, and Lindy 26 and when it's on the 28th floor, my mind drifts to Kelly 28 .... Such associations usually stops around the 50th floor.

2) I once told a Shiseido SA to help me look for a Rouge H lipstick colour.

3) Sometimes, I find myself giving sales training sessions to my H SA because I have better product knowledge !

I can relate to no 3 now lol. Crazy... I'm getting new H item every week this year. Can't stop, don't know how to hihihi. How can I stop when I saw an H puzzle in store. That's like the ultimate toy for me.
