Btw. Title is a quote from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
‘Begin at the beginning,’ the King said gravely, `and go on till you come to the end: then stop’

My dad has the habit of buying me the GM size, so I frequently exchange the one he’s given me for the right size. Sometimes, like this recent Christmas, Hermes is an utter mad house when I arrive so instead of special ordering the exact same pattern I’ll swap for something they have in stock.
A kind of ridiculous collection
My secret fancy collection? Hermes enamel bracelets (petite modele). It all started when I inherited my mother’s trio of bracelets from the 80’s. Two horse profiles in red and blue and a blue chain link skinny bracelet in blue. She’s now a GM and these three are too small for her.
It was a down hill (and expensive) slope from there. Now I’m guessing I have about 20 to 25 total. I usually receive one on my birthday and one on Christmas, then I stalk them on eBay, and occasionally spend a bonus on a new pattern. I love the color and the click clack they make on my arm. But what other patterns are there? I wish Hermes published a catalog for myself and the other collector’s out there. Good lord, there must be other collector’s out there. Am I in this alone?
So here is my collection. I will add the various patterns I have collected and showcase them paired with each other and other bangles that I own. Please let me know the French names of the patterns that I may not know.
