I’d also like to know more about it, I have 2 one in a shade of blue and another in Etain but both are TPM. What I know about the evelyne is the dotted side is to be worn on the body side and shouldn’t be showing. Good luck with more answers ??

pure gross.

Congrats Mel. Saw your video too. I can’t say I am at all pleased with this new system, I personally dread FSH now.

You are in bag depression, nothing a birkin can’t fix, LOL

Both!

Love this, congrats.

Really cute. Etain B? Lucky girl. GHW or PHW?

love swift in 25’s.

This is really gorgeous. Blue Paon looks much nicer in chèvre than togo. Great combo with etoupe too. Two thumbs up.

Sara thanks so much for putting what many of us feel into thoughts. I used to love Paris FSH, but I doubt I will enjoy shopping in the ‘deli’ line.

Hey PurseBop, saw your posts on IG and thought I might share some screen shots I have saved on my phone of the new colors. Personally dying for a B25 in Gris Mouette. I find the colors very repetitive this season, especially for a collector. No brights except Rouge Tomate which is pretty but how many reds does anyone need. Great as your first red though. I really think you should look into GM as I know you are contemplating Etoupe or Gris T :)

Love your thread idea, yes lets give our Eve’ys a little LOVE ?

oh my God I am so so wholeheartedly thrilled for you my friend … What a great HG indeed. Wear her in good health. Love ya ??

Happy Birthday beautiful, and my jaw just fell to the floor. I so vividly remember you confessing your grief of this almost beauty in your hands – but then not quite… it was the day I was sitting outside my sisters OBGYN room the day before she delivered when I was in DC.
Your hubby is something else, unreal actually! I don’t know too many hubs that would go as far as SO’ing for their wifey, LOL! What a stunner girlfriend. Lets see the inside please ?
Dying here, drooling and a B25. It doesn’t get better than this girl. May you celebrate with this beauty forever and can your hubby please give LOVE lessons to the rest of the guys out here ??
Love M
XOXOXO

ooooh, what a fun dilemma to have. I have seen both in person and I think personally I prefer etoupe. Etain is beautiful too, just a little more grey! Etoupe is on my list too – hopefully in a birkin someday. Initially I did not care for the contrast stitching but now I love it. I’ll share a lively discussion we had on my IG page on this very subject, click here https://www.instagram.com/p/BEEDTBtlJsS/?taken-by=pursebop&hl=en

Both are beautiful, especially if there is contrast stitching …..both neutral. I tend to think you can use either one with any outfit. You will know when you see them in person. Have fun choosing…

I share your ennui, Maura. But when H calls, I am sure we will muster the enthusiasm to come running :)

Hi Maura! I loved reading your post… Seriously! And I do hope the Birkin you long for finds her way to you soon. :)

congrats on ur b! black with ghw is always a plus! loving the swift!

i recently got a constance in blue agate with ghw. it’s beautiful. however, the color this f/w seems quite dull..

beautiful!
my first black bag was the chanel classic flap!
u cant go wrong with black bags! :P

This is such a heartfelt letter and I’ve always felt this way – it’s hard to share my feelings though, since everyone has seemed to score there on the first or second try! Shopping at this level should be personal and fufilling. SAs should be warm and inviting and not rushed. I know times have changed and Hermes does what they can to quell the demand for everyone but the tourists and rudeness of the patrons turns me off completely. I enjoy the Sevres location and found a lovely SA there, but even she is sometimes stressed and not the warmest always. I also loathe that a US purchase history does not matter to them and Europe and the US computer systems do not communicate. The fact that the bags are so much cheaper than the US makes it all the more frustrating and overwhelms the European stores as well. I’m so happy for our Boppers that have scored at FSH/George V/Sevres – don’t get me wrong. I love reading all the stories!! One day it’ll be me but I won’t be stressing over it as I once did. ??

I totally agree with you. Very unpleasant.

I have the rouge tomate in a 30b and it is beautiful. It does change colors from red to red with orange undertones but it is a rich and saturated color. I am hoping for the gris m to somehow come my way via a b or k. It looks like a true silver grey. Not sure what the black is either , please post when you have more information. Thanks for the info

Many birthday wishes Debb and congrats on the color! I adore blues abs I know you’ll love this for many years to come!! ????

Mel, what a lovely story!! I’m glad you experienced the new system and it paid off for you even though you did several attempts. I like hearing it’s a bit of work, haha just because that’s what I’ve experienced and I still haven’t scored one! I’ve been ten times or so on five trips in the last three years too! I’m not giving up hope!!! Your malachite B is really gorgeous!! I want to see pictures of your Jige and rodeos!! ?? @sapphiresandscotch

Not that big of a fan of any of those honestly – but I’m not really a neutral girl, honestly ???

What a bag! Wowza. Constance is TDF, you are a lucky girl…thank you for sharing your lovely birthday story & a very happy birthday to you from your PurseBop family ?

Part I:
Hermes Fabourg, the flagship store and the heaven of every Hermes addict, at least they say. The store had two main entrances and while we lined up at the second door from 9:15, people from the first door were allowed to enter at 10:30 and it wasn’t until at least 10:45 till we were able to walk in the store. We were asked to line up inside the store again, we queued up to get an appointment timing. Being 4 ladies, we took 4 appointment timings different but around the same time at 1:55 mine was initially. We browsed the store, the shoe section and bought 4 pairs of shoes while we waited. The store is big, photography isn’t allowed and it was crowded. The closer our appointment timings got, the more they were delayed. Mine was delayed till 3:15, so we decided to walk across the street and have lunch at a neighboring restaurant named “bread and roses” which is of French cuisine. Going back to the store, I was SMSed the name of my sales assistant and where to meet her. My sales assistant was not as welcoming as I expected, I excused her being 4:00 pm already and with all the crowd. She asked what was I looking for and I precisely specified I would like a Birkin in a dark color, no specific hardware or leather. I said I prefer size 30 but I’m fine with a 25 or a 35 as long as it’s a Birkin. She asked what other bags should she get me I said a 4th option is a Kelly 28 and she insisted on me to choose another bag so I said a pochette. She left for around 10 minutes and came back with a little box, she took me to the private room and revealed it. Blue paon swift leather with palladium hardware, color is new from the season ss16. I asked if I can still get a Birkin and she said she didn’t have anything. I heard her speaking in the phone in French mentioning the pochette she offered me and the word “familia”. I know that Hermes sells only one bag per household but this was far from what I originally wanted. I asked if I can still buy a Birkin any other day, she said if I got the pochette I wouldn’t be able to buy a Birkin of any member from the Kelly family (kelly, pochette or Kelly cut) for 6 months in advance. I decided to get it since it was a very long wait either ways. On my way to the cashier I asked for a herbag, mini evelyne, bolide in a small size, jypsiere in a small size but I was told she doesn’t have any. I lined up at the cashier to pay and get my tax refund. I wasn’t very happy with what I scored at first but I think I’m starting to like the bag. My sister was offered a black pochette and my second sister was offered a red pochette, when she asked if she can get a dark or more neutral color, her SA said “your sister already got a black one” as an excuse they can’t offer her any “better” color.
We left the store around 5:30 with six Hermes orange bags in total and my mother, offered a Kelly cut, decided to skip it and come again for her dream bag.

Interesting that the trends come in waves. Are you a fan? I need to do an article on the Bolide :)

I can’t wait!!!

Obsessed with this collection!!!!
