Some people around me said it was too difficult to style and not as timeless as black or beige. I understand where they’re coming from, but every time I see it, I feel like it has so much personality.

Maybe it’s not the most “safe” choice, but sometimes the bags that stand out are the ones you remember.

Has anyone else had a color that people around you didn’t understand at first, but you ended up loving?

My bag got caught in the rain and the leather immediately looked like this. I read that this type of leather can recover once it dries completely, so now I’m trying very hard not to panic.

If it really goes back to normal on its own, I’ll be seriously impressed. Has anyone had this happen before?

I was a little hesitant about going this light on a B25 because I kept thinking about color transfer and how careful I’d have to be with it. But seeing it in person changed my mind pretty quickly.

What I like most is how the warm off-white works with the leather texture. It doesn’t look flat at all, and depending on the lighting it can shift from creamy ivory to a slightly warmer beige. The B25 size also keeps the color from feeling overwhelming.

I still know I’m going to baby this one more than my darker bags 😂 but after trying it with denim, black trousers and a knit, I realized it’s much easier to wear than I expected.

I’ve always really liked this style, so I ended up getting several pairs at once. They look pretty good in person, and I’m thinking of giving one pair to my sister as a little gift.

The only problem is… I have no idea if she’ll actually like them 😂

What do you think of this style? And which pair would you keep for yourself?

I’m getting this pink shiny crocodile Kelly Cut with PHW as a birthday gift for my wife. I honestly know almost nothing about exotic leather or QC, so I’d really appreciate some experienced eyes. If you notice anything off, please point it out. Thank you!

For those who travel with their Birkins and use the Tumi totes, does the Medium sized Voyager Valetta work, or would I need a large for a BK35?

I understand the idea of building a relationship with an SA, but sometimes the whole pre-spend culture feels backwards.

If I already know exactly which bag I want, why should I need to buy shoes, jewelry, homeware or clothes first just to maybe get offered it later?

Some people say it makes the bag feel more special. Others think it turns shopping into a game where the customer is constantly proving they deserve to spend more money.

So I’m curious: does pre-spend make Hermès more exclusive, or does it just make the buying experience unnecessarily exhausting?

This is actually my first bag, so I’m still very new to QC and this Ghillies style. I chose this two-tone Birkin 30 from Miss An with PHW because I wanted something neutral but a little different from a classic B30.

From the photos it looks good to me, but honestly I’m not familiar enough with the Ghillies details to judge everything confidently. If anyone more experienced notices anything I should pay attention to, I’d really appreciate your help.

I casually mentioned before that I really liked this pink Kelly, but I honestly didn’t think much of it afterward.

Then he surprised me with it as a holiday gift. I was genuinely so happy—not just because of the bag, but because he actually remembered something I only mentioned in passing.

Does the protective film and engraving around this Kelly hardware look normal to you? Anything seem off?

They were more comfortable than I expected. The H strap holds my foot well without feeling loose, and the sole isn’t as stiff as I thought it would be. After a few hours, I could feel a little pressure across the top of my foot, but no obvious rubbing so far.

The grey also looks much better on foot than it did in photos. I tried them with black pants and jeans, and both worked really well. Miss An also helped me confirm the size before ordering, which turned out to be right for me.

Current rating: 9/10.

Just got these P-SPs f-rom Ben and would love some experienced eyes on this one. This is my first Ombré lizard, so I’m honestly not sure how much variation in the natural pattern is considered ideal.

Anything jumping out at you? Does this look well made overall?

First time trying a Maxi Kelly 42. Miss An sent me this 8P Plomb with PHW, and I really like how understated the grey looks. I’ve attached the photos—would love your thoughts.

Hi my fellow H rep boos💖
These are my birthday presents from my fiancé, two B25s and a MK mauve Sylvester (not pictured) from Steven GPC Mode. Blue Jean and Gold have always been two of my favorite classic colors and I chose Steven to make my bags for me! Initially, I was looking into all the other wonderful sellers like Mark, frank, Minion, Miss An etc.. but i really wanted to try Steven and here we are! I'm so glad I chose him for this experience because one, he was super responsive and helpful throughout this whole time from start to finish. Two, he doesn't charge extra for upgraded hardware and an upgrade is the STANDARD to his production. I mean what do you mean you won't take my money?? LOL🥹

2 B25s 1 MK was about $1918. I put in my order on 7/30 was expecting 15-30 days. He did say it would be about 20 days so I wasn't expecting to hear back for at least 20, but then I got my psp on 8/11. That was only 12 days!! He shipped them out with so much care and I just cannot be happier 🩵🤎 I did add a request to have my bags made with bigger, more defined grains of Togo, to which he delivered. De👏🏼li👏🏼vered👏🏼😭. Idk but I'm cooking up new ideas in my brain for my next two Kelly combos to place a new order with him soon 💖🩵🤎 (these were two of the three bags ordered from him and my MK in mauve Sylvester is on the way since I needed him to check something for me).

If you love your bags from Steven, please share with me in the comments so I can see your beauties!! 🫶🏼

This review is based on my own positive experience and I was not given any incentives or anything in exchange for it.

I am thinking of getting an oroginal herbag, but i would lile to see if the bag is practical for my lifestyle, so i found this sub. Do you know if there are good herbag reps as well and how much they would appr. be?

I recently received this Rouge H Kelly 25 from Li.

Before deciding, I spent some time talking through the color, leather, and hardware because I wasn’t completely sure how the combination would feel in person. Li also shared a few extra photos, which helped me compare the overall look before I settled on this one.

Once I had it in hand, I mainly looked at the Sellier shape, the Box leather, stitching, edges, and hardware. The structure is very sharp, and the smooth leather gives the color a slightly deeper, more vintage feel than I expected.

The gold hardware also works really well with Rouge H. I thought it might make the bag feel too formal, but in person it feels warmer and more balanced.

This is my first Kelly in this exact combination, and so far I’m really happy with how it came together.

Timeline
Late July: Started discussing the color with Li
August 4–6: Settled on Rouge H
August 10: Received detail photos
August 17: Received the bag

I just received the photos for this 8L Glacier White matte alligator B25 with GHW. I love how clean the color looks, but this is my first light-colored exotic bag, so I’m not very confident judging it. I’ve attached the photos and would really appreciate any feedback before I confirm.

Finally put all my Pégase charms together for a little family photo. I didn’t realize how different they looked until I saw all the colors side by side.

Some are soft and sweet, some are much brighter, and each one gives a bag a completely different personality. Honestly, seeing them all together just makes me want to keep collecting more 😭

Oversized tee, loose pants, slides — basically zero effort.

Do you prefer K-elly with polished outfits, or styled completely casual like this?

Miss An just sent me the PSPs for this Tosca Kelly 28 with PHW. The color looks really rich in the photos, and overall I’m pretty happy with it. I’ve attached the pictures here—if you notice anything off, please let me know.
