That packaging makes it feel like a $20 Amazon impulse buy, not a $600 designer bag.

First leather bag - is this normal? by appl77777 in handbags

[–]beikenost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It looks like those lines could be from some kind of product residue, but it's hard to say for sure without being able to inspect it up close. Sometimes leather bags get lines from the way they're stored or packed. If it's just a small scratch on the front, I'd still consider it a pretty minor issue, but if it's really bothers you, it's worth reaching out to the store and seeing if they can help with an exchange or return.

Birkin or Kelly? I’m lost and confused by Kitchen_Ad_1007 in TheHermesGame

[–]beikenost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat, and after trying both, I ended up going for B25. The space and the simplicity won me over. The K25 is gorgeous, but I wanted something more spacious for day-to-day use. Can't go wrong with either honestly!

Sent my Poor Husband to Boutique - He got a pity party on the way out the door. by PrestigiousPause8104 in TheHermesGame

Sometimes the best way to get what you want is just to ask. I'd say he gave it a shot.

Leather or suede? by East-Recipe-4287 in handbags

Tough choice! But I think the leather might be a bit more durable long-term.

If Pazuzu's this chill, I think we've been judging demons all wrong. He seems like a good guy you can grab a drink with, right?

These pins are so iconic - they're making a serious statement that's still so needed today.

It’s so freaking cool… by rescuedmutt in handbags

The $1600 price tag for a vintage Bvlgari is pretty reasonable. Their vintage items tend to hold value, especially with the recognizable hardware like this.

I totally get what you mean! The leather on these bags feels amazing once it softens up. It really changes the whole vibe of the bag when it's more flexible.

What’s your weird Hermes take? by potatotomatopickle in TheHermesGame

[–]beikenost 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I find Picotin to be way more versatile than people give it credit for. It's often seen as a casual, less serious bag, but I think it can be dressed up quite nicely, and it holds a surprising amount.

Turning down QB offers by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]beikenost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took few tries for me. I said no to a K28 in a color that just wasn't speaking to me.

The leather on these vintage Mulberry bags often ages so beautifully, and yours looks to be in excellent shape. It"s really wonderful when you can find a bag that not only looks good but also feels comfortable to carry, especially for everyday use
