EXCLUSIVE HERMES COLLECTION TOUR WITH THE FOUNDER OF GINZA XIAOMA JAMIE CHUA

Hello my lovelies and welcome back to All About Jamie. Today is my first day in Tokyo and I'll be doing something very special and I would like to take you guys along with me. I'm going to be doing something really exciting today and I'm sure it's something that you guys would love. I am going to tour Xiao Ma's personal private collection of MS bags. So let's go! Wow she has quite an amazing collection and I see a very very special one which is this silver Kelly bag. I saw this at an auction. Oh yes, oxidized. This is very special as well. It is the vintage version of the Himalayan. Wow, that's very very exclusive. Okay guys, to me this is the absolute piece de resistance. It is a classic 25 porosis crocodile Kelly bag with diamonds. I think that it is the most elegant bag ever and you can use it till you are like 80 years old. You mean there's another color inside? So these two are my absolute dream bag. This is the snow and this is midnight. Chinese they call it xiao fang zi because it means little house as you can see that there are windows and then it just looks like a little house. So this is the latest limited collection. It looks like a Kelly doll. It's called the Pictou and super cute. She's got a backpack. It's like a computerized doll. That is we are bag twins. Bag twins with this one. Very surprised. It's made of cowhide, which has a very strange texture, plus the patterns. How should I put it, this kind of vintage bag has a sense of history. When it's there, I don't use it often, but when I don't put it there, I feel like my treasure has been taken away. A true collector. Only a true collector would feel this way. I myself really like vintage big ears. There are many different colors. I really like this design because I think it's very classic, very elegant. For example, it's very vintage, like Audrey Hepburn. When I'm at home, I call my big ears Grandma Kelly. Every time I use it, I tell my workers to take Grandma Kelly out because it's very vintage. So I call her Grandma Kelly. Actually, compared to the new mini Kelly, which one do you think is better? For me, the big ears are more attractive. Definitely. The designs I collect are either diamonds, or velvet. There's also a limited edition I think it's special. So guys, this is a very special vintage edition. You can see that it is painted with many horses. It's super hard to find. And this one is probably the only one in the world. This is a design of Japanese birds. And the color is very well preserved. Every time I see this bag, I feel like I'm in a Japanese garden. You wear a kimono. Yes, I wear a kimono. What do you guys think about this vintage Kelly bag? Does it look super cute on us? We both have this one. Mine is Birkin. This bag is really worth collecting. You can't buy it anymore. It's an Olympic limited edition. It also has gold, silver and bronze. I actually prefer the silver one. The silver one is the most beautiful. I have this Kelly as well. It's a vintage Kelly with silver thread and prinolin, which is a horse head. This is the Kelly Teddy in 35 cm. Another collector. Very limited edition. And I have got the darker brown. And this is the first time I see it in the lighter brown suede. The bags behind me are the must-have bags of the top collectors in Hermes. For example, the bags of Himalayas and small houses are the must-have bags There are also the bags that I can't find anywhere else. It took me a long time When you see this bag, you will feel that it's worth collecting. I will give them in terms of design, material, color and pattern. I will give them three stars in terms of design, color and pattern. Sometimes, I meet the bags that I like the most. But I will not think about that and just collect them. Do you have other bags that you want to collect? I want to collect the silver bag of the same series Barking 25. And there is another one that I have seen but I didn't collect them. It's Kelly with black feathers. I really like that feather, too. I don't have it, either. Who has it? And it's for children. I want to collect more colored beans and have a party for them. Beans of various colors. I recently bought this 25 Cargo Birkin Nata. I really like this color. Because I think it's easy to match. We usually like to wear pastel, more white clothes. This is very young. What I also want is a Baton crocodile skin. Kelly 20 or 25. Both are fine. This year is the white series. White mood. Yes. What do you think, Xiaoman? Is Baton crocodile worth buying? I think Baton is very good. For example, Crocodile skin is popular. For example, Emerald green and Mimosa. These colors are very popular. I think of them at first sight. Neon yellow and mint green. I think this is a very nice color. It's worth buying. What do you think of your 5P pink? Very good. I think it's very good. I don't really care about new pinks. Yes. Only 5P pink is the real pink. That is a true pink. And to us, it is the only true pink. And any other pink, it just comes pale in comparison. It's incomparable. It's incomparable, yes. In fact, in the past one or two years, there has been a significant trend in the Hermes market. I really liked that kind of big red, big green, big purple, big pink color before. At the beginning, people liked more calm and elegant colors. For example, like rose gray, black, and gold. And now, people still like more saturated and cute colors, like macaron colors. They are all very cute. Like this year's new colors, like bubble green, and dream purple. I don't know what are those colors though, in Mandarin. What color is bubble green? And also, they are all small bags. Small sizes, like 2nd generation, 25cm, are still very popular. Do you think those big bags will come back in fashion? I think, for example, in the next three years, the possibility of the trend is not very high. I think Jamie should be the kind of person who meets a new Hermes color, a new style, and thinks the socks are all yours, and wants to buy them right away. Will you be like that? Of course. When I see new colors, especially those five or six colors, sometimes it's okay. I think, when you wear clothes, there will be a pop of color. It's very bright. People can see your bag from far away. But I still prefer those lighter colors. Lighter colors, okay. When I see light colors, I want all of them. Like macarons. Do you remember how many bags you have at home? Everyone asks me, but I dare not count them. If I count them, I feel very sad. I spent too much money. Let's count them at Jamie's house next time. Okay. I don't think they have too many bags. Sometimes it confuses us. We don't know which one is worth collecting. How do you determine which one is worth collecting? First of all, it depends on the shape of the bag. Popular ones, such as Barking Kelly, and more importantly, the store has to control its production. No matter how cute and limited it is, if there are too many of them, I don't think it's worth collecting. Especially in the past one or two years, when there are replicas, I suggest you to be a little calmer and then consider whether to collect them. Yes. Because we all like to have exclusivity. I mean, we spend money on handbags because we want to feel exclusive. But if that particular exclusive style comes in humongous quantities, it kind of deters the value of the bag. For those who have just entered Hermes, do you have any advice for them? Okay. I think the most important thing when buying a handbag is to consider its use value. Because when we buy it, first of all, we have to consider whether it's for use. I think if you like it, you can buy it. In terms of size, it's best to buy a 25cm or 30cm popular size. Because it's the first bag, if the budget allows it, I suggest you to buy a Barking or Kelly. Then even if you've used it for a while and it's in good condition, it's still relatively valuable. My first Barking came to my mind suddenly. It's a 40cm Barking It's so big. But it's really the first Barking I bought from the store. I'm such a small person holding such a big handbag. I think it's so heavy. Hey guys, we've come to the end of this video. I hope you enjoyed the tour of Xiaoma's private collection.
