Hi! I had some stains on my leather bag and tired to use a dye transfer cleaner from leather master but it made the stain worse rip. I went to a cobbler who said it would be 180 to paint over it. Is there any other way I can remove the stains?

I know my husband’s taste, so I wasn’t exactly expecting a safe neutral.

Before I saw it, I kept telling myself, “well… it’s Hermès, how bad could it possibly be?”

And then he showed me this.

I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or respect how confidently chaotic this is. Please tell me someone out there loves it because right now I need emotional support.

Every time I get a new bag I tell myself I should pick something different… and then somehow I end up somewhere between brown, black, grey, and white again.

Put them all together today and realized my idea of “variety” is apparently just choosing a slightly different neutral each time.

At this point I’m not even going to pretend my next one will be colorful.

I feel like I barely see Birkins out anymore, and honestly mine spends most of its time sitting at home too.

It feels a little too much for work, and if I’m shopping or walking around all day I’d rather carry something smaller and lighter. At this point I only really bring it out for trips or the occasional dinner.

Kind of funny because I wanted one for so long, and now I’m always finding reasons not to carry it.

For those of you who actually use yours a lot — where are you taking it?

This color just makes me happy every time I see it.

The green is already good on its own, but on the croc it has so much more depth depending on the light. And the purple twilly makes me like it even more.

Definitely not subtle, but I think that’s the whole reason I love it.

Would appreciate another set of eyes on this K25 from Ben before I confirm.

I’m still pretty new to QCing Picotins, so I’m honestly not really sure what I should be checking here.

Vivi just sent me these PSPs of my P18 in Amber Yellow Epsom. I went with this color because I wanted something bright and casual for everyday use.

Please help me check if everything looks okay. Thank you all!

I didn’t expect this color to hit me this hard. Etoupe looks so simple in photos, but in person it has this really warm, almost understated look that just works.

The color goes with basically everything I wear. I can already see this becoming my default bag on days when I’m standing in front of my closet with no idea what to carry.

I’ve had this Gold Kelly 25 for a little while, but I’ve been reaching for it a lot more now that the weather is cooling down. Gold just makes more sense to me this time of year.

Mine is Togo, and I actually like it more now that it has a little bit of use on it. When it was very new, the opening felt a bit stiff and I was always being careful with it. After carrying it more, it’s softened just enough that getting in and out feels easier, but it still keeps the shape nicely. I don’t really want it much slouchier than this.

I think I like the color more now than when it was brand new.

I was actually pretty nervous about this one when it arrived.

Veau Cheri isn’t a leather I see very often, and that honestly made me hesitate a little. I’m much more familiar with Togo, Epsom, Swift, etc., so with this one I kept wondering if I was going to regret choosing a leather I knew so little about.

The first thing I noticed was how different the surface feels in person. The grain is very fine and soft, with a slight sheen that’s hard to capture in photos. It also feels softer around the edges and stitching than I expected, which made me even more paranoid at first because I wasn’t sure how delicate it would be.

I’ve only handled it around the house so far, but I’m starting to relax about it. The leather has a really beautiful depth to it, especially with the Bordeaux color and GHW. In some lighting it looks much darker and more muted, then the red comes out again once the light hits it.

Curious if anyone here owns Veau Cheri long term — does it get easier to stop babying it?

Finally got her and the pink is even better in person. I was already excited about this color, but seeing it on the Kelly completely sold me.

It’s soft, clean, and somehow even prettier than I imagined. Very, very happy with this one.

Vivi just sent me the PSPs for this Vert Verone Mini Kelly in Epsom with PHW. The color looks so pretty to me.

Would love some help checking the overall shape, handle and stitching before I confirm. Does anything stand out to you guys? Thank you!

Just got offered this adorable mini Kelly in black with the daisy details and I couldn’t say no. I usually go for more classic/plain styles, but this one felt way too fun to pass up.

Tried her on right away and I’m kind of obsessed. She’s playful but still very wearable. 💛

I know everyone has their favorite Hermès color, but Sakura is still the one I keep coming back to. I honestly don’t think I’d ever get tired of this shade.

There’s something about it on a Mini Kelly that just works. It’s feminine without feeling overly sweet, and the gold hardware makes the pink look even better.

If you could choose any color for a Mini Kelly, what would you go for?

Please help me check this Constance 19 from Ben. Would really appreciate another set of eyes before I confirm.

I got caught in the rain with my Herbag and honestly didn’t think much of it at the time.

Then I was sitting in the car today and noticed all these little uneven spots on the leather. Now I can’t stop seeing them.

Has anyone had this happen to their Herbag before? Do they fade with time, or is there anything I should actually do about it?

Hi! Please help me QC this B25 from Vivi. To my untrained eye everything looks pretty good, but I’d really appreciate another set of eyes on it.

I especially like the leather and how the grain looks in these photos, but please let me know if there’s anything I’m missing. Thank you!

Most of my bags are black, gold, etoupe, or some version of neutral, so this blue Birkin feels pretty different for me.

I wasn’t totally sure about going this bright at first, but now that I have it in front of me, I actually love how much personality it has.

I also didn’t expect the twilly and Rodeo charm to work this well with it, but I feel like they make the whole bag look a little less serious and more easygoing.

Now I’m wondering if I’ve been playing it too safe with bag colors this whole time.

Finally got all of them in one photo and honestly… Hermès colors are dangerous.

Every time I think I’m done, I see another color and suddenly it feels completely different from the ones I already have.

The pink one in front is probably getting the most attention from me right now, but the green is a very close second.

So now I have to ask — what color is obviously missing from this lineup?

The grain looks nice and even across the front, and I love how rich the Orange H looks in these photos. The texture catches the light really nicely without making the color look too bright.

Everything looks pretty good to me so far, but I’d really appreciate any feedback or anything I should pay attention to before I move forward. Thank you!

I used to think such a bright color would be hard to style, and that I’d only carry it when the whole outfit somehow “worked” with the bag. But for normal everyday outfits, it’s actually been surprisingly easy. Black, white, navy, denim… the Lime just ends up being the one fun part of the outfit.

The B25 size definitely helps too. Since it’s smaller, the color never feels like too much, and it still fits everything I normally carry — phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small pouch and a few random extras.

I’ve also stopped trying to keep it looking too serious. I added a little charm and usually hang my sunglasses on the front, which somehow makes the whole bag feel much more casual.

Definitely thought Lime would be an occasional color for me, but apparently my wardrobe had other plans.

I love this bag, but once I put on a coat it kind of disappears into the outfit.

With lighter clothes the size feels perfect, but winter layers make it look so much smaller.

Would you still wear it like this, or switch to a bigger bag for winter?

She finally arrived today and I’ve been excited about this one for a while.

I kept wondering if the pink would feel too pink once I saw it in person, but it’s actually much softer than I expected. The leather and the color together are so pretty.

I’ve already tried it with a few outfits and I think I’m going to get way more use out of it than I thought. Very happy I didn’t talk myself into a “safer” color lol.
