I fell in love with the burst of diamonds and elongated look. I have a kelly watch in steel that i bought last year that unfortunately still sits in its box.. it just felt too much and not daily. However, this feels like a nice daily watch with the right oomph!
I found it in europe where it is much cheaper than in my home country and love that the strap is interchangeable with leather too! I get vat back as well…
I flew to paris this week just to get my kelly danse and she is finally here! I’ve been chasing this bag for over three years and she is finally mine. However, it did not give me the joy i anticipated.
I dont know if i was put off by my SA who i’ve already shopped with over a year spending in each visit over 2.5:1 ratio for any bag he offers me. The danse is the third offer from him and i thought that we are past the push to spend as we have already an established relationship. I arrived in paris for the day and let him know that im specifically here to get the bag. I was already at 1.5:1 prespend of shopping for the danse however he kept pushing for more where i ended up spending at almost 3:1 for the danse. Dont get me wrong i love all the things i bought but felt that the relationship is very transactional and did not feel appreciated as a client. I’ve heard anecdotes of so many people just being offered bags after established relationships with barely any prespend.
Another issue was the color: its in etoupe with ghw. Dont get me wrong the color is gorgeous and i love the contrast stitching but it just feels basic… i really didnt have a specific color in mind.. maybe rouge h, prunoir or vert mangrove.. something more niche and unique. However my SA did make a fair point: with etoupe its timeless and classic and its a color i will still love and wear 10 years from now unlike seasonal colors.
My two questions:
Is etoupe really basic and nothing unique? Like every other hermes bag…
Why am i not feeling the euphoria i expected when its been a bag ive literally dreamt of for years! Anyone felt the same after a bag offer?

I have a garden party voyage size 49 but today saw the 41 an low key wished i got it in that size instead. To be honest i fill my 49 almost to the brim having to travel with a toddler and soon a new born.
I was thinking the 41 wouldve also been versatile as a work bag/pumping bag/diaper bag. But doesnt make sense to get it tbh.
Im thinking two options:
sell the 49 and get 41 but not sure it would fit all my stuff while traveling with a toddler and a baby?
keep the 49 and get the 36 for the office/pumping/diapers? For those who have the 36 does it fit under the arm?
