This is my third bag from Jim and once again I am completely blown away by the quality and craftsmanship of this beauty. At this point Jim and I may need to discuss some type of frequent-flyer program because clearly I am not stopping at three. 😂

You all know I love bleu and Hermès does blues better than almost anyone. This time I wanted something lighter and a little different, so I went with my special-order HSS B35 in Bleu Zéphyr Chèvre with a Craie interior and brushed PHW.

Girls… THIS is the bag them office girls are going to be jelly of...  

My laptop fits perfectly, along with everything else I insist on carrying around all day, and the bag still does not look like I am moving into the office permanently. The B35 is big, yes, but for work it is absolutely perfect.

I originally wanted something in that Tiffany Blue, but not quite as bright or obvious. Bleu Zéphyr gives me exactly that soft, airy pastel-blue look, and then when you open her up you get that little peekaboo of Craie inside. It is such a beautiful combination. Very clean, very fresh and just different enough without screaming for attention.

And let me talk about the Chèvre because I think this leather gets overlooked WAY too much.

Most people immediately run for Togo or Epsom when ordering a BK, while Chèvre is sitting quietly in the corner minding her business and looking fabulous. 😂 It is lightweight, supple but still firm enough that the bag holds its shape beautifully, and the natural sheen is incredible. Take this bag outside in the sunlight and the leather absolutely comes alive.

We are so used to seeing Chèvre used inside Hermès bags that having it on the exterior changes the entire look. The grain, the slight shine, the way Bleu Zéphyr takes to the leather… I cannot stop looking at it. And then opening the bag to that Craie interior? Done. Finished. Take my money.

Now for the other shocker: the timing.

PSPs came in after only five weeks, and one week later she was in my hands. SIX WEEKS for an HSS special order. I honestly thought I had at least another couple of weeks before I would see her. This has easily been the quickest turnaround I have experienced on one of these orders.

10/10 – Ordering process. Jim is incredibly easy to work with and talking to him is honestly like talking to an old friend.

10/10 – Leather and construction. The balance is excellent, the Chèvre is gorgeous, the structure is there without the bag feeling overly stiff, and the inside is just as beautiful as the outside.

12/10 – Arrival time. Because I was absolutely NOT prepared for her to show up this early. 😂 No complaints here!

Very, very pleased with this order.

She is making her office debut today, where I will naturally pretend I am concentrating on work while staring at my bag every five minutes. 😂💙

I just got this B25 Bleu Tie Togo with brushed PHW. Love her shape and how she feels in my hand. In the PSPs the color seemed a little darker but after I have used her a few times and seen her in natural lighting am more in love! The Bleu Tie colorway is a new color for the brand and I always thought it was a dark blue, but as you can see the color does change in the natural lighting.

Am sure everyone saw my review on the first bleu bag I receieved from Jim which was this B25 Bleu Tie in Togo with brushed PHW. This is such an everyday bag and when I had a last minute work trip I took it with me and everyone commented on this colorway. Bleu Tie is such a newer color for the brand that not many of these exist in the wild.

Here is the bag on my center counsel driving back from the florist, and at a restaurant which had amazing food. Both instances at the florist and at the restaurant there was conversation about how nice the bag was.

The bag took 7 weeks from ordering to be in my hand. Paid $1380 with PPFF and from time of placing the order almost to the day of delivery it was 7 weeks. Jim kept in contact with me the entire time. PSPs seemed a little dark (last photo) but that white light does no one justice. These photos are here in action and some natural lighting. As you can see the Bleu is versatile and goes with any outfit and any venture of the day.

This bag has been calling my name since I saw one in the wild a few months back. I have always loved the Bleu Brighton colorway of the brand and but only seen it in the matte finish. Then one day shopping I saw a lady had a B35 in Bleu Brigton in shiney crocodile. I could not resist, next day I ordered this bag from Jim. I ordered two bleu bags from him and my bleu tie Togo arrived a couple of weeks ago.

Ordering was easy as always with Jim, like talking to an old friend. We always have good converasation about the bag when I am placing an order with Jim. I apprecaite how he asks me questions about how I plan on using the bag. This one was a dinner and date night bag and was my first shiny exotic, as I have only had matte finished ones. We agreed that brushed PHW was unique as most chose the regular shiny PHW for these exotic bags.

The construction is impeccable, stitching and glazing are neat, and scale symmetry all on point. I chose the Niloticus Crocodile as this was the larger scales and too me looked the best in shiney crocodile. The bag came neatly and mitculously wrapped in the full packaging. One great thing about Jim is he guarantees delivery through customs. From time of order it took about 7 weeks to get the PSPs and then another week to get in my hands! Total of 8 weeks to get in hand after placing my order. I also received some some progress photos which I attached here as well of the leather as it was cut.

This is a photo of my holiday bag in Italy. The bag's construction is just amazing. The Togo has extra grain and smells like fresh leather. The handle drop is consistent with a B25. Stitching is even and glazing is clean. I am confident enough that I walked into an H boutique here in Italy with it. Seller was Jim and price paid was $1380 shipped. Jim is excellent at customer service and ships his bags in full packaging and guarantees delivery through customs.

Great holiday summer bag!

Received my B25 Bleu Tie Togo with extra grain and brushed PHW from Jim. The bag is just perfect. From the PSPs it looked a little dark, third photo but in natural lighting and in hand this bag feels and looks perfect. For me it is always the handles of the B25 which throw me off slightly, but Jim's are always the right shape and really make the bag feel expensive. It took about 7 weeks to get in hand, and was $1380 shipped. The nice thing is Jim sends in full packaging and guarantees delivery through customs. The structure is nice, stitching is neat, heat stamp centered, and most important feels and smells like a new car!

This bleu tie color has caught my eye when it was first introduced by brand. I have owned a few mid tier B25s before but all have had issues with the handles being too thick or the handle drop just out of proportions. I am so glad I found Jim. His approach to me as a new client was refeshing. Jim is no pressure and spoke to me like a friend that knew me for years, making me feel comfortable immediately spending $1380 on this bag, which is the most I have ever paid for a rep. So this was important to me.

The bag is a B25 in Bleu Tie Togo with extra texture and brushed palladium hardware. I had seen this bag in the wild several times and posted on these subs but everyone chose the regular PHW which as a guy I think that can be too flashy. Prefer the muted tone the brushed PHW gives the bag.

The bag took about 7 week to be received in hand. I knew it would take this long as Jim communicated with me every step of the way. The bag is well constructed, from the leather grain to stitching and even the edging all seemed very neat and well made. The smell when you open the box is unbeatable. As soon as I received my PSPs about 3 weeks ago I placed another order for an exotic leather bag, which after recieving this first bag I am even more excited about. This leather is seriously one of the best, I do have reps from other "top tier" sellers but they all came in unmarked boxes, bags came wrapped in plastic with a duster. No full packaging to me is not top tier. This bag came with the full packaging which gives you that boutique feeling when you open the box. I can't wait to show you all my second bag from him.
