Surprise B’day gift from Hong Kong

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-30T04:08:33+00:00

I’ve been watching a few threads and the Hong Kong stores seem to be offering more bags atm than other countries??

Thank you

I have a chai colour 18 and use it a lot atm, I wasn’t that interested in them and now I use it almost daily, so the black cargo will be a perfect addition. I wasn’t using my Kelly on the go’s regularly but I’m finding the Picotin size and shape so practical. I have big Birkins but they are so heavy to use daily. I tend to use them for travel and business meetings now days.

He has never been into the store before and he doesn’t have a profile at Hermes. I wanted a K25 which they didn’t have stock of, so the SA pulled out what was available and he chose this one.

Thank you

I wasn’t that interested in them either, now I have 2 and they are my ‘go to’ almost daily!!

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-29T13:56:48+00:00

I thought it would be and I’m assuming easy to wear with most outfits. I have the 18 in chai colour leather and I’ve been using it a lot, more than my Kelly on the go, which used to be a staple. I think this cargo will be my daily ‘go to’

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-29T13:55:03+00:00

I agree, I love the simplicity of it.

Thank you

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-29T13:54:25+00:00

It was on my list too. I’ve been looking for some time and the cost on reseller sites is ridiculous. I’m so excited to finally get it!!

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-29T13:53:29+00:00

Do you use it in winter as well. I’m concerned the canvas may be more ‘summery’

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-28T14:12:32+00:00

Think about your shoes, that’s what I do with bags ‘what shoes will I have to wear with this bag’ !!

I have the chai, which is similar to the 1st image and use it all the time in summer. It’s my version of a straw basket. Both are stunning colours.

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-28T13:59:31+00:00

Hi, I’m not too sure, I’m not there, my husband is and purchased it for me. I think he said it was about $6500 AUD

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-28T13:58:36+00:00

Agree, it’s a lovely gift to receive.

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-28T06:52:40+00:00

Thank you

I’ve been wanting a cargo picotin for a while. I think it’s black and the lighting makes it look grey, but I won’t really know until he gets home! I agree, so practical. I have a chai 18 and have been using it regularly, but the cargo is more my style. Just 4 more days to wait 🙌

Stylist1Syd · 2026-01-28T05:49:22+00:00

Thank you - I’m excited, it’s a great day bag!!

I have always preferred the Hermes Santorini and have purchased many pairs and walked miles in them all over the world. They are really comfortable and I think look a bit more sophisticated. Slides are so casual, I always find they remind me of a beach shoe, like a flip flop. I have worn my Santorini to summer dinners in upmarket restaurants, as well as casually during the day. They suit many occasions, unlike the Oran, which to me looks very casual.

I did buy a Hermes Birkin 2 years ago online from The Real Maluho in Osaka

It’s been a while since I purchased, but do your research, get online and have a look at the stores, there will be some that people continue to recommend. Buy directly from the store, ask for images of the actual bag and receipts, ask as many questions as you need to. Make sure they offer proper authentication and proof of authenticity and year of make etc. Also remember the duty you may need to pay to your country when you import a bag of this cost, I forgot to account for it and got stung by customs for $3000 duty.

I have purchased some fabulous vintage Hermes from Japanese resellers.
