First off, like, *Hermès*. We’re talking serious luxury here. It’s not just a bag, it’s a *statement*. And when you throw green into the mix? Whew. You’re not just saying “I have money,” you’re saying “I have money and I have *taste*.” Or at least, I hope you do! Because some of those shades, well, let’s just say they require a certain confidence to pull off.
I was browsing online the other day (as you do), and I came across this Hermès official site blurb about the “Herbag cloth handbag Hermès Green in Cloth.” Now, a Herbag isn’t *quite* the Birkin or Kelly that everyone drools over, but it’s still Hermès, right? And “bamboo” green? Sounds kinda chic, kinda nature-y. Like you just strolled through a fancy botanical garden and casually picked it up. But, y’know, for a small fortune.
Then you got eBay, which, let’s be real, is where most of us *actually* look. You can find some deals (allegedly), but buyer beware! You gotta be *super* careful about authenticity. I mean, nobody wants to drop a grand (or ten!) on a fake. That’s just… embarrassing. I’d honestly rather carry a Target tote. (Okay, maybe not *really*, but you get my point).
And then there’s Stylight, promising up to -53% off. I’m always skeptical of those deals. Sounds too good to be true, right? Probably last season’s color or something nobody wanted. But hey, maybe you’ll find a gem! Who knows?
The thing is, “green” is such a broad category. Are we talking a vibrant, almost neon green that screams “look at me!”? Or a sophisticated, deep forest green that whispers “I’m expensive”? Then there’s that “Bambou” color, which they describe as “a rich, profound green reminiscent of lush bamboo foliage.” Okay, Hermès, calm down with the poetry, it’s a handbag! But I gotta admit, that does sound pretty darn lovely.
Personally, I’m partial to the more muted, earthy greens. Something that goes with everything, you know? Easy to dress up or down. Although, sometimes I feel like splurging on something outrageously bright, just for the heck of it. Maybe a lime green Birkin? Okay, probably not. My bank account just had a heart attack.
