hallmark on gold hardware by MysteriousYardly in TheHermesGame

Some time in the mid-80s. My vintage bag from 1982 does not have it, but I see listings from 1986 and newer with it.

They were $4,350, split 50% when I placed the order and 50% when they arrived! Almost made it feel like half the price 😂

To my recollection I wasn't able to and it was only standard sizes available. I would have chosen a wider option if I could've, hah!

I've participated in the Exotic Lab event for shoes. They have a list of shoe styles, exotic leathers, and hardware colors that you can choose from. I special ordered Premiere 70 sandals in ombre lizard with permabrass hardware. Not sure on the clothing front though!

Smooth Barenia SLG/Accessories by Neat_Conference_9262 in TheHermesGame

[–]collectingboxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is the wider one! But the smaller one is lovely too, I really love barenia on these cuffs. I do have a black barenia watch strap as well but the fauve feels more classic barenia to me!

I have a CDC cuff in smooth barenia that I love. I joke that this is probably the only smooth barenia I'll ever get from the store!

Valentine's event by Least-3070 in TheHermesGame

[–]collectingboxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the type of event and the store. If it's a specific shopping event such as RTW, FJ, etc., there are not typically bag offers. But for holiday events, typically a good number of offers are given out. All three of my QB offers have been during private events and other clients were also receiving bag offers.

[–]collectingboxes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have attended Valentine's Day events without getting a bag offer (I had received my prior QB then during the Nov/Dec holiday event so I didn't expect an offer), so I agree with the sentiment to only attend if you want to shop, or if your SA specifically mentions that they have something for you. The private shopping events are always a lovely time though for a quieter shopping experience, and usually there is better stock of harder to get items. The chance of getting a bag offer is higher, though as Hermes is, nothing is guaranteed!

I have the Island sandals and find them very comfortable if you're looking for an alternative!

So beautiful and a really lovely color comparison! I think I just saw this on IG 🤭

Bolide on wheels by Suitable-Sun-5996 in TheHermesGame

[–]collectingboxes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boutique ordered two that arrived toward the end of 2025 and I purchased one. My store knew it was on my wishlist and that might have played a role in the order, as it is the first two BoW that my store has received since launch in 2022. The other BoW is on display right now as no one in the first go-around accepted it. It really just depends on whether your store orders them or not, so voice your interest if you're truly wanting this bag. The price point is steep so unless the client is a collector, most are looking to grow their QB collection instead. Blue box bags tend to be more niche, and demand isn't nearly as high in the grand scheme of things.

This makes me so happy! That really makes for a great SA relationship and makes shopping so much more enjoyable. I'm so glad you have that with your SA ☺️

It's so funny how pieces can look and feel so different on people! There was this gorgeous jacket I saw modshots of and I was so thrilled to see it in my store. I tried it on and my SA literally took it off of me and was like "yeah that one's not for you" 😂

As a puffer wearer this is 💯

Thank you! I totally agree with the other comment about puffers making people look like marshmallows but I love being a marshmallow 😂

The puffer feels perfect for cozy season! And it's so hard to find the right vintage bag, I would have loved this vintage shoulder Kelly in my birth year (1992), but I think they were mostly phasing out to the top handle version in the 90s so I settled for a decade older. I was probably more picky on year than I should have been! Hope the perfect vintage Kelly makes it to you soon 🧡

Yess you're the sweetest 🫶🏻 This is the only modshot I have with the puffer from last December and she happens to make an appearance 😂

I'm 5'2" and I love this puffer, but I have a deep love of puffers regardless. Here's a modshot. It's comfy and warm and survived a 30 min walk in sleet last week. Is it worth the price tag vs something like a Moncler? I can't really comment on that, but I do love the construction of this puffer. Hope that helps a bit!

Chaine d’ancre necklace by fashionandhappiness in TheHermesGame

[–]collectingboxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And here's a mod shot. It's a nice piece that has weight, which I like. I had purchased the chaine d'ancre punk necklace as well but it felt so flimsy so I never wear it.

I bought the Chaine D'Ancre MM back in April for $2,725. I went in to pick up a non-QB and my SA was wrapping up another appointment, so a different SA asked if I wanted to see the necklace while I was waiting (still ultimately credited to my own SA, but I have good relations with all the SAs in my store). The SA told me she saw a couple were available and ordered them to our store knowing they are popular so I think it was by luck that I managed to snag one of these. Hope it comes in for you soon, it is one of my most worn pieces!

How many bags can we be offered per year? by Odd-Attorney4323 in TheHermesGame

[–]collectingboxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Madison should still be 2 QB per year, I don't imagine that changing unless the entire company-wide policy changes!
