Not buying the same neutral bags over and over again is not a problem gf lol! I appreciate your love for colors…as for black bags I agree you can’t go wrong with a black Birkin. Even though you do have a orange givenchy, I do think the givenchy antigona looks stunning in black!

lol wow, just want to say I’m beyond impressed at the narrative, pictures, and advice. Your hermes story is beyond inspirational for handbag aficionados and people iffy about taking the sticker shocking hermes plunge. Any advice for meeting/forging a relationship with an SA for the first time?

What a beautiful story LeOrangeBliss, we can feel your excitement through your words…simply beautiful!!! And all you H pieces are to die for!!! Love it all and thank you so much for sharing!!! Unfortunately I don´t have a “the first time I walked into an H store” or “my first H purchase” to share because I´ve never had the courage to go inside an H store hahaha I know if I go inside, I´ll want everything, but can´t buy, so I rather not torture myself. But I do have a story regarding Hermès to tell that makes me very happy. When Blondieluxe hit 50k followers on IG, she decided to do a giveaway. The prizes were 2 clic clacs and a LV bracelet and there was going to be 3 winners. The rules were to post a pic inspired on one of her pics, tag her and add the #SoBlondieluxe hashtag, one entry per person. When I saw the giveaway post I was thrilled for I´ve ALWAYS wanted to have a clic clac to call my own, it had always been my dream bracelet alongside the Cartier Love Bracelet. And since it was only one entry per person I immediately started thinking about which pic I´d choose as an inspiration. Anyways, I posted a pic on my account and then asked my fiancé to take a look at her pics and choose one he liked so we could recreate it…at first he was like “really? :/” but agreed to it because he knew how much that contest meant to me… so he started looking at her pics and when he saw one that BL was at a club and her friend was holding her with her feet up in the air, he immediately said “this one, let´s do this one”, and helped me recreate it (which was so much fun…we wouldn´t stop laughing while at it)… when the day to reveal the winner finally came (I barely slept during the whole contest period ahaha), BL posted a pic saying that she couldn´t pick only 3 favorites, so she was adding two other prizes, another clic clac and a Bougainvillea chèvre Kelly wallet (I DIE)… first place would choose what she/he wanted and so on… aaaaannnnnnddd (drum rolls)… future hubby´s pic won first place yaaaayyyyyyy!!!! This was one of the happiest and most exciting moments of my life, I´d just won an H leather piece (DEAD!!!) I couldn´t stop screaming and jumping up and down hahaha it just felt so good. Future hubby was so proud of himself :) still when I go out with Miss BLK (Miss BlondieLuxe Kelly, her name hehe) he says “I gave you an H wallet :)”. When I received my prize, I finally understood why everyone who purchases an H piece falls so deeply in love with it… it´s just too perfect and special. And until today when I´m feeling like the person with the worst luck in the world, I look at Miss BLK and it´s like she slaps me in the face saying “ya crazy girl? you WON ME! and I came from the closet of one of the biggest fashionistas in the world! SO wake up and stop with the drama”, and I feel better :) XOXO

Amazing story!! I always enjoyed your posts on TPF, but when I found you on IG I was so happy to see and share with you all our amazing pictures! You were so supportive when I had a bad time in my life and I will always remember your kindness!!!! Thank you for beening you! Such a sweet, kind person. Love you and always will follow you everywhere! ❤️

the colors on these paired with gold are brilliant!

The pictures from your post were absolutely stunning, LeOrangeBliss. Now that you find yourself a more seasoned Hermes expert, what are the top 1-3 things on your wishlist right now? any exotics in mind (if you’re a fan)?

Loved reading this! I felt like I was right there with you! Xoxo

Love your personal style! Everything was really informative and a joy to read. You’re right, Hermes really does have something for everyone :)

LeOrangeBliss, I just reread your post and article and have a question. I have been waiting/hoping for my first B/K and find that the longer that time passes without that call, the more my eye wanders and interest sort of wanes. How can I keep my eye on the prize without frustration? Any tips to speed up the process? Many thanks.

Chanelaholic may need to convert to hermesaholic!

Thank you very much HappyBaggage and i loveeeed your bags ? your photos will help me a lot but i think i am between CC and H ❤️ Thank you so much!

Hello Lifeandstyletips, ? I empathize with what you are saying! ? if I may share my fave black bags while you work through your list of choices. In no order of preference, the Chanel reissue, the Gucci new bamboo bag, and the Hermes birkin. I have to share that I am very smitten by Pursebop’s black Kelly! Oh, and there is the Lady Dior. ??? Am excited to know your final choice, have fun shopping!!!

Sky is definitely not the limit for me, LOL I wish!! For now it’s in the $10-12K USD range (or current price for a B30, K32), and even that nauseates me… I would love to have a small exotic Hermes bag and clutch at some point in the distant future (lizard and croc/gator), but that won’t be for a while…

I don’t have a black bag, but it would probably be a black box Kelly 28 with GHW <3

Hahahaha I’m with pinkblondebrunette on this one, there are so many amazing colors to choose from!! Some favorites in regular leather are: Lagon, Rose Shocking, Rose Confetti, Lime, Craie, Gris Perle… Exotics: Bleu Izmir gator/croc, Rose Sheherazade gator/croc, Braise gator/croc, Gris Paris gator/croc, Emeraude gator/croc, Violet lizard <3

Wow, Mr. Loubouton has outdone himself! These are absolutely gorgeous and so perfect for the upcoming season(s). Enjoy!!

I think it’s absolutely gorgeous babe, and so perfect for you!!!!!

It’s like jewelry for your feet! So gorgeous !!

Here are my favorite black and gold bags… I love this combo.. So luxurious

I like them a lot! really eclectic, you can tell the shoe literally has a personality lol

Congrats Hun ! What amazing reveals !!!

I can justify around $5-10k on a bag. That range has slowly been creeping up over the months, especially now that I’m starting to fall for Kelly. I’ve also got an urge for an exotic soon but trying to part with 33k for a croc Petite Malle is just too painful
