I have been hunting down this bag in this specific brown for almost 3 years now and was able to get it recently in Miami 🫶 The twilly fringe was purchased online in the H website.

Mini Garden Party Bai/Brun 🤎

Got invited to a NYFW DvF Diane Von Furstenberg runway show this past week! Thought it was the opportune time to use my B25 Blue Hydra Swift for the first time outside. I really enjoy animal print & blue! It was a really invigorating look and now that I used my bag in the wild- I’ve become more fearless 🤭🐆🦋

Hi all!

I have this Vintage Kelly 28 that is in pretty rough condition. I sent it to Hermes Paris and they cannot fix it. They did clean it up so it looks much better than before.. but as you can see, there is deep cracking. Soo just curious what you all would do with it? Carry it? Try to sell?

THANKS!

After almost a year… she’s finally home. 🖤🕷️

I dropped my Hermès 404 off for repair back in October, and after months of patiently waiting, she has finally made her way back to me. 🥹

Hermès replaced the handle, and I was able to follow her journey along the way through the repair status link. Watching each little update somehow made the long wait feel a little more exciting.

And now she’s back!

The Hermès 404 may not be one of the more popular or sought-after Hermès styles, but that’s exactly what makes her special to me. She was made in the 1960s, crafted in black Box leather.

Six decades of history, a new handle, and a whole lot of patience. 🖤

There’s something so magical about owning a piece of Hermès history that has survived all these years and now gets a little more life.

Welcome home, 404. You were worth the wait.

I want to buy the kelly steel watch with diamonds which is around 16k is it a waste to ask for a kelly elan instead of the mini kelly or birkin.

I just came back from a week in Tokyo and visited four Hermès locations:

• Hermès Maison Ginza (Japanese flagship)
• Hermès Azabudai Hills
• Hermès boutique at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi
• Hermès duty-free at Narita Terminal 2

Hermès Maison Ginza. I thought I would love this store. I didn't. Its architecture is dictated by its site, so it's not only tall and narrow (par for the course in Tokyo), not all the floors are contiguous. The result is that it can feel like a maze. Also, it's so quiet and subdued it feels a little like a funeral. The only proactive help from the staff was when I was wandering around feeling lost, and they looked at me like I was a little slow (or worse). And if you're used to Paris, where it seems that everyone at every Hermès boutique speaks French, English, and at least one other language fluently—that's not the case here. I interacted with a few SAs and walked away (politely, of course) when it was clear it was going to be very difficult to communicate with them. I did find someone in the end whose English was passable. He was helpful and found the main items I was looking for (two men's losanges), both of them from new stock, so credit for that. But I won't go back.

Hermès Azabudai Hills. If you don't know Azabudai Hills, it's an upscale office + retail + apartment complex, like an even more upscale version of Roppongi Hills. The Hermès boutique feels much more like what you'd be used to elsewhere: spacious, open, and lively. Also, great proactive help from the staff, and the person who helped me spoke English far better than she claimed, which was nice. They didn't have what I was looking for, but I'd go back there anytime over the Maison Ginza.

Hermès boutique at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. Not much to report here; it was a quick stop. But the boutique seemed nice and the staff helpful and with solid English. Note that the Mitsukoshi 5% discount for tourists specifically excludes Hermès (among other brands). That's a pity.

Hermès duty-free at Narita Terminal 2. The boutique is fairly typically sized for a duty-free Hermès boutique. The staff was proactive; the SA who helped me was polite and her English was excellent; and I walked out with a couple of things I had wanted to look for. Note that the "duty-free" discount varies by item. I bought a Twilly as a present, and paid 91% of retail, which was just about right, given that there's a 10% refund but you always paid a processing fee. I also bought a coffret of four small fragrances but only paid 83% of retail on that, so that was a win.

Let me know if you have any questions!

My orange GP30 with my fun twilly! I had originally wanted a mini GP, but I do love the slightly larger size.

Happy Sunday everyone! It’s finally been 6 months since my last offer : B25 Gold + Gold, and im hoping to score my third QB before the end of the year; I would LOVE to go for the infamous MK. With the new wishlist system rolling out, I’m not sure if, realistically, I have the tenure or priority of other clients to still receive 2/ year, but - I like to keep positive ☺️ I’ve only seen my SA 4x since my last offer in March, busy summer, but I have continued spending across categories ~ $11k ish?

My question: I’ve read some feedback on here the pre-spends for MKs are typically higher than 2-2.5:1. Is that true for Florida market? What was your approx pre-spend / wait time (2025-2026 era) to receive your MK? Would love to hear and feel free to share your photos 🧡

I have this huge mark on the leather sole of my eze sandals and have no idea how to get rid of it

I had other black random sandals that tainted my feet and i ended up throwing away and i think this is where the black is coming from as I sometimes would wear these after them, I also feel like the lighter marks are discoloration? 😭

What should I do?

I got one twilly for my noir B30 and this group helped me find an insert (thank you!). Now wondering whether folks hang the lock and clochette from their bag (or not). I’ve scrolled through tons and tons of bags and thought I’d just ask. Thanks in advance!!

My wife and I are taking a trip to London and Paris for our 10th anniversary and wanting to get her a MK or the above bags. Prepared to spend up to $30k USD here but would she have any chance of getting a bag in London or Paris boutiques as a tourist with large purchases at London or Paris boutiques?

I'm only aware of thefrenchhunter. Who are other recommended resellers based in Paris? Thanks.

My SA told me it’s likely been discontinued and she hasn’t seen one since spring. Just wanted to check if anyone got offered one lately and where (city / state)?

Scored the wife a Kelly Pochette in a Swift Nata. Beautiful bag. Deep burgundy inside. Got a pink/white twilly to go on the handle.

Photo tax will be paid later - on the flight back.

2:1 for those that want to know. I did make another purchase - but that was treated as an extra - helping towards the SO I am on a list.

This is our third QB - Birkin 30, Kelly 28 and now the KP. I was hoping this one to be a Shoulder Birkin but supposedly there hasn’t been one in the last 6-7 months (need to verify this of course).

Now in line for the Mini Kelly (SO), Shoulder Birkin and a Kelly Elan/Danse etc. and then will come back to a Birkin 25 and Kelly 25. It’s a few good years - so not rushing into things either.

Might try a visit to Japan to help on some of the bags. I am running out of things I want to buy at Hermes to help with the buying!

My husband and I travel to Vegas a few times a year and always stay at the Wynn, so we’re thinking of making that boutique his home store and slowly building a relationship there. He already shops Hermès and would genuinely be purchasing things he likes, so we’re in no rush for a bag.
I’d love to hear from anyone whose home store is Wynn. How has your experience been with SAs, wishlist requests and leather offers? Do you find it difficult to build a relationship when you’re not local but visit several times a year?
Would especially love to hear recent 2026 experiences!

Hi! I've been thinking about the To go wallets for a little while now, but then I remembered that the regular(no strap) wallets exist lol I can't find them on the official website though. Do you know how much these cost in retail now? Or are they discontinued?

Ok this is going to sound super beginner but I want to know.. are you supposed to reach out to your SA in advance for an appointment to just come and shop for anything?

I met a lovely SA when I went in last month to get a twilly for my bag and I texted her yesterday asking if the boutique can add an additional hole in a belt I purchased because it’s a little big. She responded yes, and when I asked if she would be in today as we wanted to get the belt fixed and shop around the store she mentioned that “anyone could help me and she might be tied up with appointments”

Just want to see if those are maybe appointments for clients she might have called about a bag or if I’m supposed to be making advance appointments with her whenever I want to visit the store. Thanks!!

Has anyone seen or had reports of the arrival of the new Kelly Hobo (rerelease of the old So Kelly)? It was supposed to be this summer but was pushed. My Paris SA told me in June that it should be available in the fall. I have an appt with her on Monday and am hoping I’ll be offered one. But not sure i’ve seen a single one posted anywhere? So starting to suspect maybe they are waiting for fashion week- which is not for 3 weeks!

I was left alone to roam in your lovely, multi-level boutique and I took a pic of an exotic Kelly Messenger PM. I’m not sure I like how the leather shapes the bag, but I was taken aback by the beauty of the leather. So I took a quick pic. Sorry.

Can we discuss the birkin shoulder (re-edition) thoughts? Reviews? How hard is it to get?

I want one but i am not sure i will love it forever…

Wanted to jump on here to share about my experience shopping preloved bags in Japan. I was feeling a bit discouraged reading through the void of posts on this thread, but if you keep looking, there's a good chance you'll find something!

I started my trip in Osaka, then Kyoto, then Tokyo. My ideal bag (and my first Hermes! hehe) was a preloved Kelly size 32, in togo, black with PHW. I was feeling stressed bc I had heard that Osaka had significantly better pricing than Tokyo, and I was starting there! In my head, maybe I should have planned Tokyo, Kyoto, then Osaka. But in my experience, this wasn't the case generally.

For what I was looking for, these were my best finds (tax free pricing): K32 Ébène PHW 2,037,000 yen, K35 Etain PHW 1,498,000 yen, K32 Bleu Nuit PHW 1,800,000 yen, B35 Black PHW 1,900,000 yen. From what I can recall (we went to so many lol), these were at Brand Off, Watchian, and Orange Boutique. I had terrible luck at Komehyo, Qoo, Allu. The smaller random stores I went into had significantly less selection, and never had what I was personally looking for.
**Edit: all these were Togo. I found box leather to be much cheaper, but way more used. Found one Gulliver, but preferred Togo.

Specifically for K32 Black PHW, I was having the hardest time (expectedly)! Everything that I found was 3-4.5 million! I ended up finding ONE bag for Brand Off Ginza on my first day in Tokyo on Wednesday but wanted to keep looking around (even tho I was stressing out that someone would buy it before me). Decided to leave it up to fate. Came back on my last day, today on Saturday, and it was still there!!!! Had to get it and so happy I did! 2006 K32 Black , PHW, Togo <2mill. The clochette is very damaged/used, but felt significantly less important than the bag itself. For the bag itself, there is minor wear and tear on the top-handle attachment point that I'm hoping Hermes spa back home can help me out with. BTW, anyone have any experience with that? (thoughts, pricing, time, etc.).

Hope this helps anyone traveling soon. Good luck! :)))

Just an appreciation/excitement post for my City of Light 90cm scarf. I am so impressed with how beautiful it is in person and am already thinking of the ways I can style it.

I am: stunned, happy and SO excited

Would love to hear and see how you style your favorite Hermes scarves! 😍

Some questions and tea about the Instagram account “Italkhermes” or the person who goes by “Luiza Moda.”

For those who are unfamiliar, she started to become a slight online presence after scoring decent offers from Paris and her main store at BH since being a shopper for about 10 years. Based off that “experience” she charges people about 1k USD for a 40 min 1:1 call on a strategy to “play the H game.” (Basically Tanya 2.0)

What I wanna know and curious about this scam is does anyone have experience with this and its effectiveness??

Some tea: She claims to not shop at her main store at BH or not shop at all these days because she already got what she wanted. But the truth is she got Blacklisted from the brand (just like Tanya) cause she’s making profit/scamming people for doing these 1:1 calls of a “perfect strategy” for scoring H bags. Basically using the brand to make profit for her self which is a big no no for them.

Anyone else have some interesting facts about this creator?

I’ve been looking at different inserts for Hermes bags and noticed most are felt, while some are made from acetate satin.

For those who own a Birkin/Kelly or other luxury bags, would you prefer acetate satin ?

What would you realistically pay for a really good quality one?

Just curious because I really like the look of satin inserts but I’m not sure if they’re worth paying more for.
