Hi Amelia ! I'm glad you got a " precise" ( leather, colour, size etc) Birkin you wanted on a pre-loved market site and that you did not play useless games with a Hermès sales associate ( BTW it must be the most stressful / psychopathic job in the fashion industry) to buy a Birkin that does not correspond to your aesthetic preferences in the end . Greetings from 🗼

The monogram planner looks so good peeking out of your bag! I enjoy the quality of the 7RP insert. It's an investment though.

It will protect the interior but not take up much space. Also, the 25 keeps its shape well so that's not a concern. The Birkin is the best bag ever, Enjoy!!!!

Beautiful bag, congratulations! I have a B30 Togo with a 7RP insert and I do recommend it. I know the price hurts! I also use my bag and Costco/groceries included. I like the insert for the organization and protection it gives but most any insert would help with that. The reason I like 7Rp in particular is it fits like a glove and keeps the shape of the bag (my 30 is 2 years old and still has its same structure as when new). The insert is just firm enough yet very soft and lux feeling. It is water resistant and launders like a dream. Bottom line for me was this is the most expensive bag I own so any accessories are going to be commensurate. Its just one of the costs to owning this type of bag for me!

Love your video and I completely agree, bags we buy should be used. What on earth is the point of all that money if these bags just sit on a shelf. I do recommend an organizer but it’s mainly due to maintaining structure. I don’t mind a bit of wear but structure loss really drives me nuts.

So happy you love it. Yes I agree it’s more casual which I love. I don’t use a bag organiser. I know it would protect the bag but the bag loses its slouchiness with an organiser and I prefer it how it is. I bought 7rp for my Birkin 35 and I never use it. So it’s a no from me. I use a soft Hermes pouch in mine to use as a catch all and to protect inside of bag without changing the shape.

I am same with neverfull , I have an organiser for that but it’s a slouchy zipped one as I prefer bag to look slouchy. Just my preference.

Def would have the same attitude using this bag if I have one. You are so right Amelia! It seems like most of the people that have Birkins or Kelly's put their bags on a pedestal and so scared and conscious using them, esp to the grocery store🤣. I used my lux bags to the grocery stores bec that's where I go often and I need to use my bags. That's why I bought them. I love looking at them but their main purpose is to be carried and used right? I feel like when I use them they serve their purpose. I really admire your outlook about lux.

Great tips on the preloved journey. It’s my understanding that finklepuff is like an intermediary between a private person selling their bag and the buyers, how was that experience in so far as getting more photos or information on the bag? As for liners, I recommend them. Personally I like Samorga, and also White Fox for the linen ones. Just don’t store your bag with liners to avoid marks on leather. I like storing with a bag pillow 👍🏼

Amelia I really recommend 7rp. I never thought I would buy an insert that expensive (for my diors, Chanels, Louis Vuitton’s and fendis I have samorga or Jenny Kraft which works well) but when I got offered my B30 I caved as it’s my most expensive bag and Hermes don’t spa the interior. I also worried about regular inserts leaving marks on the leather. The quality and fit of 7rp is second to none. The material “gives” more than regular felt and I never worry about indentation on the leather x

So my question to you is aren't you afraid that someone might still is from you in the street?

Noooooo you do not need a 7RP insert but you should get a less expensive one to protect the interior from accidental spills. I use my Birkins just as you have described int his video so with all of those things inside, you need some organization and protect from accidents. Hermes will not spa the interior of your bag if there is a spill hun. I use Mai Tai inserts and LOVE them! I am so happy for you hun and yes 25 is sooooooooooooooo useable!!!!

I dont want to sound like an alarmist here but…. Hermes is tightening up. Three factories are being built as we speak in France. They also have a crocodile farm in Australia where they source that particular skin. The refusal to offer a bag unless some spending limit has been surpassed, or the person is a celebrity, this will tighten up in the next decade. I wouldn’t be surprised if a contract was given to buyers with a ban on selling the bag on. Chanel is trying to fill Hermes’s big boots. They’ve upped their bag price to a ridiculously high rate couples with poor workmanship. Bags in Primark have straighter zips, better quality leathers, especially the softer skins. As the world spins into global recession, I doubt these bag companies with survive unless they are selling to the super rich, who want absolute originality. Would I like a Birkin, yes I would. It’s a gorgeous bag. Id like a very big one, in a neutral colour with palladium hardware. It’s not a Fendi purple sequin, I’d happily steal one and risk jail time for her! Hermes is trying to maintain its reputation as the boss of bosses. Staying true to its ethos of exclusivity, difficult to obtain, and very expensive. Be interesting to see how that levels out in ten years time.
