I can not believe that the last time I posted to this blog was in March! Wait, no I can believe it since that's when I found out I was pregnant and that pretty much took over everything. But, I am now 33 weeks pregnant and have made some yummy Hermes purchases since then that I simply must share.
First, I purchased an
Hermes 31cm Trim II in
Rouge H clemence with palladium HW.
The color was magnificent and DH loved it but alas, I just couldn't work it properly. First of all, I am HORRIBLE at stuff my bags to the gills and a stuffed shoulder bag is a heavy shoulder bag. Plus, clemence isn't exactly a lightweight leather so by the end of the day, my shoulders were aching. No joke.
I ended up selling this beauty because I hate having gorgeous things that stay cooped up in a closet. It's not right, I tell ya! They need to be enjoyed and my poor Trim wasn't getting any love at all. I need both beauty and function or else it's a bust for me. Sadly, this gorgeous beauty didn't work out but at least I tried, right?
OK, so it was time to move on and this Rouge H experience really started to make me think about color again (remember my
turquoise Bearn?). Anyway, I had the perfect opportunity to fulfill my color desire while at the same time scratching the itch left by the absence of my Trim, so lo and behold, I acquired an
Hermes Picotin GM in
Vert Anis Togo and a
Dogon wallet in
Raisin Togo. SCRUMPTIOUS!
I am a big fan of the Picotin. People either love them or hate them. I can understand the apprehension to a piece that has no real top or closure to speak of, is very simple - almost minimalist, and is completely unassuming but those are the reasons I love the Picotin so much. No fuss, no big to do. The Picotin doesn't take itself too seriously and I really like that in a bag!
As for the Dogon, well, it's in Raisin and that, in and of itself, is just perfect. Easy and wonderful for when I don't need to take every credit card I own (why do I do that, anyway?) and it's the perfect size to fit just about anywhere. Love it!
OK, one more purchase to add but I think this one deserves it's own post...
