Your first Hermes item

How could I forget my first H piece? Broke my finger two days prior and figured the only thing that would make me feel better in that moment was a new handbag purchase. Got lucky and scored something that was on my radar for quite some time.
My very first H purchase was this La Source de Pegase twilly from online during the pandemic for my so black Chevron mini Coco Handle. 😄
Mine was a belt the 24mm one. I use it frequently so I don't regret it.
Compact Bearn wallet. Great piece, fits a lot and is very practical. Sturdy too!

Mine were a black pair of oasis shoes. The most comfortable open toe heel i own. Love them and in the same trip pair of Orans and this opened the flood gates to an oran collection hihi
I love this story! And the guest appearance by your cute kitty in the kitchen.
My first Hermes purchase was an Alice Shirley scarf that I fell in love with at the Bergdorf H scarf counter (back when they still had one at BG.) At the time, I had no idea that Dans un Jardin Anglais would become a collector's item and be worth much more than retail. I just really liked it! I still love it today and am happy that I was able to purchase it in the store before the prices went $$ on this scarf.
That first purchase started my scarf and shawl collection, which I have slowly added to when I see a design a like ever since.
My first H was the Evelyne First Generation. The Bolduc Twilly GP not long after.
I've never regretted either one. Nor any others after.
Does anyone?

Does anyone?A long Bearn wallet in classic H orange with PHW - from either late 2010 or early 2011.
Originally went into the boutique looking for a gift for my mother, specifically wallets. Was initially shown a trifold Bearn (don't think they make those anymore...) in a beautiful mossy green in box leather, but knew it'd be too "delicate" for my mom. Then was shown the orange in epsom and while I knew it wasn't a fit for my mom - it was definitely something for me(!) Have always loved SLGs with a pop of color.
Still using regularly on a rotation - it's survived drenching rain, water spillage, dropped multiple times on the ground... and still doing good.

Corlandus (dressage saddle)... 20ish?? years ago. Sold it when I retired my mare, and I also still linger in the equestrian section when I am in a store!
Hi all- I’m brand new to the forum. I actually joined because I just purchased my first Hermes item: a used Birkin 35 in chocolate brown. I love the color but am having a tiny bit of buyer’s remorse because I’m wondering if the grains on this bag look TOO big and pebbly? Any thoughts on this would be so appreciated. And I hope this is the right place to post. Sorry- I couldn’t figure out how to start a completely new thread and this title spoke to me! 
My first H was Un Jardin sur le Nil perfume, which still brings me happy memories.
My first H accessory was a Farandole 160 that I purchased to celebrate a professional milestone in 2015.
I sold it a few years ago as it was uncomfortable and bought a Farandole 120 instead, which is the right length for me.
I wear the latter regularly.

A bright red/pink tie with crowns on it when I was 19. I adored that tie and treasured it as if it was a firstborn child...
A twilly to match with my coco handle bought nearly 5 years ago to celebrate a new job. I haven’t thought too much of Hermes as I’ve been more of a Chanel/Celine girl.
Til now, as I’m getting older, I can appreciate the timeless and classy styles of Hermes. Also being a mother now with 2 girls, I figured it would be nice to give them my purse collection as an heirloom. Thus I’ve started my Hermes journey a few months ago, learning about the brand and hopefully getting a B/K offer by my 40th
