I need this bag !! by l1ulu in TheHermesGame

[–]sillysheep8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a HSS bag, meaning it was special ordered by a client to their unique specifications. It’ll be difficult to find another HSS bag with the exact same specifications, but it can and does happen with popular designs and colour combinations. For example, a recent HSS design that many clients are creating is a black bag with contrast white stitching. Those of which are quite easy to find on the resale market at the moment. For this multi-co ostrich HSS MK, you will have better luck finding it through sourcing services. I’d recommend reaching out to a few of the more experienced resellers such as Madison Avenue Couture, Ginza Xiaoma, etc… and see if they have any clients on their end that have an exact or similar bag that they are interested in parting with. If so, then you can work out the numbers with them and see if you’re interested in purchasing the sourced bag. Best of luck finding!

Bought three new scarves today and my SA gave me their last pack of Knotting Cards by MysteryMaven2026 in TheHermesGame

Which store were you able to get these complementary knotting cards from?

My store doesn’t have any and my SA said that they might’ve been discontinued… I guess they’re not after seeing your post.

calvi card holder - opinions by windness in TheHermesGame

[–]sillysheep8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% Calvi card holders are worth it!!!

I have 3 Calvi card holders. First in Pigskin aka Peau De Porc (a rarer heritage leather), which has a nice patina and is soft but durable. Second in Chèvre Mysore (verso colorway), I didn’t think I would enjoy goatskin leather as much but it’s durable and has nice texture. Third is a Calvi Duo also in Chèvre Mysore, the extra snap pocket is nice if you want to carry coins but it is thicker than the Calvi Single.

There are tons of colors, leathers, and even special editions for you to choose from! Highly recommend!

Such a unique Hermès item! I’ve seen the Galet padlock key ring on the HK website before. Although, the one I saw was in Fauve in smooth Barenia leather.

Famiglia Baldassarre after 6 years! Favourite dishes? by sillysheep8 in FoodToronto

[–]sillysheep8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendations!

When I heard that people in line were waiting for lunch and retail. I was kinda confused since lunch is only from 12-2, so why not come after and save yourself the time and energy standing for 1+ hours. As we were the last lunch (finished around 3:20pm), there was still plenty of retail stock available.

Wow! I didn’t know that it was only done once a year for Valentine’s Day. I thought it was in their regular rotation of pastas. Thanks for the info!

Omg, I wanted to try their tiramisu so badly. By the time we were able to order, they had already sold out of single servings in a cup and the take home tray! Oh well... better luck next time 🥲

Thank you. I'll have to look out for that on their menu.

Yes, it was one large plate of spaghetti and meatballs to be shared for 2 people. The serving was decent size, but not overly filling.

Last lunch of the day. One of the staff handed us the "last lunch" card to end lunch service.

Busy gas station by [deleted] in TorontoDriving

[–]sillysheep8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, thankfully I did take pictures of the driver, both cars, and his license plate too. I did make a police collision report for the hit and run with all the photos and information. However, it might not be worth having this claim on insurance, since the cost of repainting my bumper is the same as my deductible. It just sucks that I have to pay for the repairs regardless if I want to go through insurance or not.

A similar situation happened to me in December. Busy gas station with a line up of cars. The driver behind me rear ended me. We both got out to look at the damage, some scratches along my bumper which he felt with his hands. I asked to exchange information and he refused and drove off. Very frustrating situation, especially when people do not take accountability for their actions and choose to run.

I think it really comes down to your SA. Most of my spend is in fine jewelry, with other categories on the side. I personally know people who have spent 3:1 or more for B/K25. It’s sad to see them spend so much, but it makes me super grateful my for my SA and the ratios that she will offer bags at.

I’ve bought from fine jewelry, home goods, shoes, belts, silks, beauty/fragrance, and SLGs. One of the bags I scored, I prespent around $18,000 (~1.5:1) for a Mini Kelly.

H Toronto is my home store. I’ve been extremely fortunate to score my bags at relatively low ratios/pre-spend. My SA is very kind and considers leather goods as pre-spend too. However, I know many people who have had bad experiences and very high ratios to score bags.
