The Show-Stopping Bags We Spotted at the Hermès Petit h Event

I am dreaming of winning the lottery and buying one of each...

Hermes Birkin Hermes Kelly

Having a photographer outside of a Hermès event in NYC? Groundbreaking. But really, while we’ve had ample Hermès coverage recently on-site, I won’t pass up an opportunity to see some of the brand’s rarest and most beautiful bags in the wild.

A couple of weeks ago, Hermès brought back its playful Petit h event to its NYC store and held a kick-off party to celebrate. Our NYC photographer was there to capture the content and give us a little peek at what the brand’s VIPs carried to the event.

There were some really special bags – like the Kelly Doll in Bleu Zellige Matte Alligator and a handful of Quelle Idole bags. I am drawn to the brand’s Ombre Lizard bags in my fake ‘when I finally win the lottery’ world.

Who am I kidding? In my ‘I won the lottery’ world, I would scoop up so many random, curious, and unique Hermès bags that you’d call me tacky. That’s fine; I volunteer as a tribute to that title.

What is up with the negative / clearly jealous comments?? If your mad that you don’t have a Hermès bag, just go get one and stop hating on others who *have* Hermès!

Here we go again! The bully and her fake “likes” is back everyone! Time to retreat!

I don’t understand why people like to clutter than beautiful bags with bag charms.

Unrecyclable

If it makes them happy why not? It’s too boring if everyone is wearing them default

I do not understand using one Twilly on a dual handle bag. The asymmetry would drive me crazy.

I don’t understand why people clutter their beautiful bags with bag charms?

Only the ombré lizzard looked good. People were poorly dressed.

That lizard is exquisite!

It is evident that Hermès is the winner of this long game – “hard to get”. I do admire that they stuck to their guns and did not sway. Kudos to that. I find myself thinking about and wanting some Hermès bag but wouldn’t simply buy a similar bag from another brand which is in the same price range yet readily available retail. That got me thinking, did I really really want the bag or I just wanted to be part of the game? With Hermès, I find myself simply want to find something I could like as opposed to with other brands, I am actually evaluating the bags: how I use them, how they offer something different to my collection etc. etc. With Hermès, it’s almost like I’m making up a reason to own. Genius marketing, but not so genius on my end. I’m waking up I think, but that doesn’t stop me singing their praise. A master class.

I just don’t understand the adoration for Hermes, beyond the coveted status symbol issue. These bags are not stylish or user friendly at all.

Love these pics – and our very own gorgeous N Pink looking stunning in bleu!!!
Looks like it was a fun event. Thanks as always for the eye candy. 💙

I thought that was her! I recognized her VCA, actually (and love her FBN ring).

I agree; it appears a good time was had by all.

It’s like a bunch of clones wearing the same two bags. Big yawn.

Ubiquitousness.

I am fascinated by the concept of dressing up to go shopping.

Israeli_Flava

All the haters in the chats is HILARIOUS. Try harder babes. You’ll get a bag one day ***maybe*** (((rolls eyes)))

SonShownu

the Kelly doll in Bleu is cute, but yet with that kind of price won’t even fit your phone. still cute tho

Jeri Kedzierski

Does anyone know the maker of the black shoes with the gold buckles in the pic of the woman holding a 25 Birkin in Etain Togo above?

It makes me sorry I sold my Quelle Idole a few years back. I made four times more than I paid, but I bet they are worth even more now.

Bari looking incredible as always. Love love love the blue theme!

Loch

The dude in photo 12 who is holding the door open is reading that woman’s phone screen. Ick

I guess it’s not apparent if you haven’t attended a private event before, but they’re both working the vip event – she’s checking off the attendees and he’s the door security

Israeli_Flava

@Loch That’s your boyfriend…he’s trying to get her number hahahahaha

Karen

So? She is in public. You don’t have a legal right to privacy when you walk around on the street.

Israeli_Flava

BARIIIIIII…. love you hun and the RC VCAssss Yes! Caught me eye!!!!

lin

beautiful bags. Funny the guy in the picture is the only one carrying it the right way. Its completely closed and not looking raggedy.

That Kelly 35 Ebene Barenia looks to die for!

Olivia Penzey

It’s beautiful. No one is offering me a Kelly and I can’t afford one, but if I did, it would be in Barenia or Box. Those leathers start off beautiful and just get even more luxurious and buttery the older they get. I don’t understand shelling out that kind of money for a heavily treated leather like Epsom when the brand has access to the best skins in the world.
