Falling in Love with Hermes

Thank you so much for sharing your story and your beautiful beautiful pics! Your style and collection are always so much fun and extraordinary. You really bring things to life and make life look fun and fabulous! I just had one question, may I ask when you started your Hermes collection?

I just loved reading this my friend. I read it a while ago and came back to read it again today. I love your gorgeous photos!!

This was such a wonderful article to read. I think one of the key things that I took away from it was to build a collection as vast as yours, it takes time, patience and having quite a bit of product knowledge doesn’t hurt either. This may be a topic for another article from you, but I would love to learn about the process you went through to get your amazing special order birkin. Such as how you were invited to do it, the numerous options they offer and how you made your choices.

Just wow!

I look like one big mess compared to you. :(

I’m happy to see you are wearing and using all your items. It’s great to see! Your doggy made me smile

I am in love with your love story with Hermès LeOrangeBliss. And your post made me fall even more in love with it too with all the eyecandy you posted. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much LeOrangeBliss for sharing your delightful hermes love story, and with such gorgeous and vibrant pictures from your amazing collection too :D I’ve always loved your pics/posts since TPF days and when I joined IG last year, was thrilled to find your gallery and see even more of your stunning pics and collection.

Just from the pics I can so see your love and passion for Hermes. For me, until a few years ago, I was very much Chanel centric so it took a little longer (and a trip to Paris) but once I fell, I fell hard. I thought I just wanted the one bag but ended up loving the history, craftsmanship and of course the designs. Not just in leather but also in silks and accessories. Will share more of my story in my next reply but I now totally get why I always hear that H is a very slippery slope :p

?❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for sharing dear LeOrangeBliss, very inspiring ?. Love your collection, beautiful pieces! I fell hard ❤️ for Hermes too, so much patience (needed), and the anticipation!! ?❤️?

Here is the reveal pic ?? hoping to add a Kelly to the family next! Thanks again Leorangebliss for sharing !

Patiev, this picture is for you… a long time ago, your Bougainvillea chevre Kelly wallet and my Capucine B35 got a chance to meet and hang out :) That’s your baby on my lap… It makes me smile knowing we are connected in some way :)

Thank you Leorangebliss for sharing your story and expertise. Like others, I could hear the enthusiasm in your narrative and enjoyed the feature. I have felt the same butterflies/excitement when I had all my first Hermes experiences. It’s a very addictive type of “orange adrenaline” lol ! Im lucky to have a great relationship with my local Sa but it was my husband who sealed the deal with my B. He sent the picture below from his business trip with a text saying “Merry Hermes Christmas”

LeOrangeBliss your pictures bring smiles to my face! It’s such a pleasure and delight to see and feel your exuberant energy across the pages of PurseBop. I couldn’t help but giggle when I saw your ((hugs)), because I know how much you are missing those emoticons for that extra burst of ‘feeling’!!! They are now available from mobile device and tomorrow you shall have here too, LOL :)
Your replies are thoughtful and helpful. I speak for everyone in saying “thank you… for sharing your beautiful self here with us!” Love your PurseBop family ((hearts))
XOXOXO

I am anxious to share a bit of my Hermes love story in my next reply :)

You know I always have thought you had a wonderful knack at curating your collections, whether it be Louboutin or Hermes or other. I enjoyed your story. Brought back many reminders of the older days and how so much has changed over the years. I am sending you every hug and a big smile. You have such great taste, photog skills and story telling. Hugs my sweet. xo

Well this piece got me thinking (ok obsessing, all day long, I might add) that I should hightail it to my H store for an exotic CDC.

LeOrangeBliss your pictures speak the language of passion. I have rarely seen anyone take photo’s as you do, with such detail and love. The only other person I know is PurseBop, so it’s no wonder the two of you connect. Please do share more stories with us :)

lol wow, just want to say I’m beyond impressed at the narrative, pictures, and advice. Your hermes story is beyond inspirational for handbag aficionados and people iffy about taking the sticker shocking hermes plunge. Any advice for meeting/forging a relationship with an SA for the first time?

What a beautiful story LeOrangeBliss, we can feel your excitement through your words…simply beautiful!!! And all you H pieces are to die for!!! Love it all and thank you so much for sharing!!! Unfortunately I don´t have a “the first time I walked into an H store” or “my first H purchase” to share because I´ve never had the courage to go inside an H store hahaha I know if I go inside, I´ll want everything, but can´t buy, so I rather not torture myself. But I do have a story regarding Hermès to tell that makes me very happy. When Blondieluxe hit 50k followers on IG, she decided to do a giveaway. The prizes were 2 clic clacs and a LV bracelet and there was going to be 3 winners. The rules were to post a pic inspired on one of her pics, tag her and add the #SoBlondieluxe hashtag, one entry per person. When I saw the giveaway post I was thrilled for I´ve ALWAYS wanted to have a clic clac to call my own, it had always been my dream bracelet alongside the Cartier Love Bracelet. And since it was only one entry per person I immediately started thinking about which pic I´d choose as an inspiration. Anyways, I posted a pic on my account and then asked my fiancé to take a look at her pics and choose one he liked so we could recreate it…at first he was like “really? :/” but agreed to it because he knew how much that contest meant to me… so he started looking at her pics and when he saw one that BL was at a club and her friend was holding her with her feet up in the air, he immediately said “this one, let´s do this one”, and helped me recreate it (which was so much fun…we wouldn´t stop laughing while at it)… when the day to reveal the winner finally came (I barely slept during the whole contest period ahaha), BL posted a pic saying that she couldn´t pick only 3 favorites, so she was adding two other prizes, another clic clac and a Bougainvillea chèvre Kelly wallet (I DIE)… first place would choose what she/he wanted and so on… aaaaannnnnnddd (drum rolls)… future hubby´s pic won first place yaaaayyyyyyy!!!! This was one of the happiest and most exciting moments of my life, I´d just won an H leather piece (DEAD!!!) I couldn´t stop screaming and jumping up and down hahaha it just felt so good. Future hubby was so proud of himself :) still when I go out with Miss BLK (Miss BlondieLuxe Kelly, her name hehe) he says “I gave you an H wallet :)”. When I received my prize, I finally understood why everyone who purchases an H piece falls so deeply in love with it… it´s just too perfect and special. And until today when I´m feeling like the person with the worst luck in the world, I look at Miss BLK and it´s like she slaps me in the face saying “ya crazy girl? you WON ME! and I came from the closet of one of the biggest fashionistas in the world! SO wake up and stop with the drama”, and I feel better :) XOXO

Amazing story!! I always enjoyed your posts on TPF, but when I found you on IG I was so happy to see and share with you all our amazing pictures! You were so supportive when I had a bad time in my life and I will always remember your kindness!!!! Thank you for beening you! Such a sweet, kind person. Love you and always will follow you everywhere! ❤️

The pictures from your post were absolutely stunning, LeOrangeBliss. Now that you find yourself a more seasoned Hermes expert, what are the top 1-3 things on your wishlist right now? any exotics in mind (if you’re a fan)?

Loved reading this! I felt like I was right there with you! Xoxo

Love your personal style! Everything was really informative and a joy to read. You’re right, Hermes really does have something for everyone :)

LeOrangeBliss, I just reread your post and article and have a question. I have been waiting/hoping for my first B/K and find that the longer that time passes without that call, the more my eye wanders and interest sort of wanes. How can I keep my eye on the prize without frustration? Any tips to speed up the process? Many thanks.
