My first Hermes item was Bracelets De Lumière scarf about 10 years ago. Still same pristine condition nowadays 
My first Hermes purchase which was just a few weeks ago, was a herbag zip 31 in black berline, black leather with phw ☺️
I happened to be reading this thread and looks like no one has replied. Will try to help, 16 years ago when I had purchased my first bag, an Evelyne, and joined to learn more, it felt overwhelming. So first,

First purchase was in 2018, a clic clac in Rose Azalée in GHW. I was so thrilled to finally something that fit my tiny wrists! And on the same visit a Jaguar Quetzel 90 scarf, as I love cats, especially big cats. Unfortunately, I discovered I am not really a scarf person, but I still love this scarf and periodically take it out just to admire it

Thank you.OT, but I must say that the genuine kindness and helpfulness with which you responded to this other member is so nice to see! Love the energy.
All of my first purchases years ago were perfumes. Back then I never would have thought that one day I would own their bags. But here I am.
In 2003, I visited Paris with my father, DH and kids (then 5 and 7). We were staying in the 8th not far from the George V boutique. My father, who often wore H ties and always gave the women in his life H scarves on special occasions, encouraged me to look at the Vibrato Herbag which I ended up purchasing with a small bequest from his mother…he said she would have been thrilled. Still have it; still carry it.
My first 5 purchases:
1. Oran sandals in Gold (have worn them to death!)
2. Chypre sandals in suede (tan)
3. Picotin 18 (.com - super lucky!)
4. Twillites for the picotin!
5. & Oz Mules

Hi! Sorry to ask here but hiw doDo you still own your first Hermes purchase? Or remember which one it was? Is it still a favourite or is it now a regret?
I have noted a tinge of nostalgia for Hermes products and service of years ago and it made me nostalgic for my start in the brand. I still have my first Hermes item: a “La Danse du Cheval Marwari” scarf. I bought it in Harrods and back then could not believe how much I had spent on some silk squarebut I used it sooo much throughout my 20s and it’s still my favourite scarf.

Bonus item: this Panda bag charm I bought before I even owned an Hermes bag. I guess I manifested …?

Hi! Sorry to ask this here but I just got my first birkin and have questions regarding so many lines on it. I can’t find out how to start a forum as the one I found here was an old forum and was recommended to start a new one but I couldn’t find how to start. Pls help🙏🤗Do you still own your first Hermes purchase? Or remember which one it was? Is it still a favourite or is it now a regret?
