Angela - you're not crazy. I'm that way with all of my Hermes leather goods... The way that I admire them and look at them fondly, you'd swear they're siblings of my pet Yorkie. LOL!

Augustus - you're such a nice daughter (son)... Good luck w/ your shopping purchase. I'm sure that your mother will love it regardless of whatever choice you make. The orange box alone will probably make her heart flutter.
 
My husband thinks I am crazy, I buy everything Hermes now :D

Its a serious brand addiction !
I am sure he is watching to see if IT will ever go away :lol:
 
Hermes policy r/o

I just want to know if any of you gals know the policies of your local (or any others) Hermes boutiques regarding Kellys and Birkins. I know my local one has closed the lists for both of these bags, don't do charge-sends, and they say they can't even tell customers if one is in the store over the phone. They say the only thing to do would be to check the store often. I guess they make exceptions for "regular" customers, though.

BTW, there was a blue jean Kelly togo, size 32, in Beverly Hills as of 3:30 pm PST today.
 
^ thanks for the info! :) do you know how much it was (out of curiosity?) i wonder if the prices have gone up again.

i know what you mean about fanatical about hermes products. i just have the bearn but i love smelling the leather (i say it smells like money :) ).
 
FrenchieFan I saw that Kelly, it is truly beautiful. Looked so good. And Ive decided that the Hermes orange is what I want my Birkin in (cross fingers that Ill ever actually get one), it looks so good with brown or black. Also saw the Bolide, Trim and an Alligator Kelly Clutch.

In regards to the Long Kelly, they said it was runway only and those pieces were sold to thier VIP customers but because it is in demand they will be producing a limited amount in leather only. I got my name on their list for when it comes in, they have no idea about the price.
 
Love this Hermes ad :heart: Looks like a 25cm croc Kelly and croc Kelly pochette :flower:

Investment Value of Hermes Bags !!

Wooo Hooo !!!

I just realised why Hermes bags are great investments :D
I flipped through the Hermes leather book and I really fell for the Frambois color. But the SA said its 'rare' to get that color cos its an old color. Likewise, the cyclaman, blue jean, vermillion (new colors) will also become rare in 10 years time.
If your bag is in good condition, you will be able to find buyers who will be willing to pay for them !

Ain't that great ??? We get to use them, and still get our money back next time :lol:
Am I deluded or do I make sense ??? :innocent:

And anything I can use for justification is sensible to me!!

Makes sense except that I don't think I could ever part with my bags:cry:
Do any of you sell or trade after a while?

Thanks for posting, Gigi!:flower: That is a beautiful shot on the right. And just think, the same pouchette is sitting in KoP as we speak!:heart::heart::heart:
 
So...I recently just starting using my 30cm Blue Jean Togo Birkin. Bought it last Nov. It was sitting in its luxurious Orange abode (i.e. box) till just over 3 wks ago!

Although I had a 32cm orange togo Kelly, which is 2 years older, the Birkin felt different. It was more casual and seem to go with all my outfits. The Birkin gave me the true feel of Hermes bags!

Since my Birkin high, I've decided to streamline my bag collection to consist of Hermes only! Of course, the Chanels will remain too :) All the rest will go...except for the new Hologram Spy which is on its way from London. :LOL: Currently the plan is to get one Birkin or Kelly per year or two for every 3 years. :) To jumpstart my bag collection plan, these are the Birkins/Kellys I hope to add to my collection:

1. 30cm Crocodile Birkin in Black/Brown/Rough H with Gold hardware
2. 32/35cm Ostrich/leather Kelly in Fuschia with Gold hardware
3. 35cm leather (any leather but Togo!) Kelly in Black with Gold hardware
4. 30/35cm leather Birkin in Gold with Gold hardware
5. Others to be considered....
 
Baghag, love your post! :lol: i like the way you map out your Hermes bags masterplan! ;)

Your Birkin & Kelly sounds lovely!!! :heart: Would love to see pics of your babies! :flower: TA!

My pleasure Cameo! :flower: I can understand why you kept thinking about the croc Kelly pochette...so elegant! :heart:
 
i saw a mini black kelly in this month's bazaar near the end under accessories :) it was really cute but around 6000...for that price i'll stick with the large one :)
 
ugh guys, need a quick advice for this...for any hermes bags shipping out from the states, how much tax will I need to pay if it's going to send to Hong Kong? or say what's the best solution to avoid all taxes? thanks
 
Is this authentic? I am trying to decide if I shoud purchase it. It is from ebay. Thanks so much!

!!!an important question for all you frequent flyers - when hermes has a boutique at the airport in a city (copenhagen, paris, tokyo, zurich, etc. etc.) do any of those sell purses, or do they only carry ties, scarves, perfume, etc.?

Thanks, gigi!!:flower: Would post pics once I get down to actually photographing them!:p
 
GEMINI: If she had shoes in the bag, you betcha they were Manolos:p Maybe another diamond necklace on loan...:lol: [/quote]


:lol: Sharon is great, and her green Croc Kelly is too....but I don't think she thinks she gets anything on loan..they "give" it to her... I've read Hermes never loans or gives away items...
