HERMES ORAN UNBOXING, REVIEW & SIZING | LEANINGINTOLUXE

i always say that happiness comes in orange 
boxes and normally when i say that i’m referring  
to louis vuitton because i love louis vuitton 
but today i got an orange box in the mail and  
it is an hermes unboxing i am so excited 
you guys can you tell i mean can you tell  
what’s going on you guys welcome welcome back 
to leaning into luxe today as you can see by  
the smile on my face and by the thumbnail i am so 
excited i am bringing you an unboxing video and  
it is an hermes unboxing guys and i really have 
not opened this at all yet it still has even the  
outside plastic covering that it was delivered in 
because i wanted to do this with you it took all  
the strength in me not to actually go ahead and 
unwrap this on my own and see it but i wanted you  
guys to get my genuine reaction and feelings about 
this item but it obviously would not be a leaning  
into luxe video without me recommending a great 
dupe for you guys for this item and also just to  
discuss you know other alternatives and why i went 
for this particular one as opposed to the other  
options for a similar product that are currently 
out there on the market so as you can see like i  
said i have not i really did fight the urge when 
this arrived in the mail to open it

up but i said
i am going to wait for this video just so that you
can really get if i’m excited if i’m disappointed
you can really catch my full range of emotions so
it arrives at your door in this plastic covering
on the outside i’m just going to put that to
the side and inside it’s a plain white box
now i have seen other people who have
unboxed the same product and they have
said that actually you should not get rid
of this white box because should you need to
ship it back to hermes whether for an exchange or
a refund it is best to keep the shipping packaging
so that you can send it back the
one that has this hermes branding
on the inside so i’m going to
make sure that i keep the safe
and just so that i am sure whether or not i want
to keep this or whether i want to send it back
so that’s what it looks like on the inside
we have the classic hermes orange box
and it has that classic hermes string this is
just the receipt envelope all of the luxury brands
really do this they send your items with the um
receipts enclosed inside you know their branded
envelopes so i have my original receipt
so that if i need to exchange or if i
need to go back for repairs or whatever
then all my documentation is in place
i would say guess but obviously by the thumbnail
you would have already guessed what it is you
already know it’s the oran sandals but maybe take
a moment and guess like the color that i went for
so getting into it i’m just putting this aside
guys you’re going to see this box probably here
from now on each and every video that i’ll
be filming because this is art okay this is
just too perfect and beautiful so
on the inside they come like that
you have two dust bags so each sandal has its own
dust bag on the inside and done something some
i don’t know the material of the dust bag itself
is just screaming rich honey it is gorgeous
guys i got them in this gorgeous beautiful brown
tan color with the stitching around the edges
that white stitching and oh my gosh i pulled this
out and i’m just getting fresh leather smell like
it’s unbelievable actually wow
even the tissue paper that’s
okay hermes are not skimping out
on us okay they are giving us
quality everything about this is
screaming quality i’m i’m sorry guys
if i am gagging this is just a whole different
experience for me guys the quality here is
why is this tissue paper like so soft i mean
normally when they stuff these stuff these
things with tissue paper it’s like some rough
industrial paper this feels everything about this
is amazing so i chose them in this brown color and
guys you can see my excitement i’m even struggling
to talk right now on the website actually they
don’t call this brown this color brown they don’t
even refer to it as tan this color is referred to
as gold and some french words i don’t know how to
pronounce that but they call it gold something
something i’ll put the name up on the screen and
i don’t know why because this is brown but they’re
gold if hermes says they’re gold then to the rest
of us they’re gold the oran sandals come in three
classic colors it is this one and then they also
come in classic white and the black and thereafter
they have colors that are seasonal they have
colors that are for special campaigns or whatever
and depending on the color that you choose
sometimes the price may vary these retail for 630
dollars in the classic colors as well as in some
of the other non-classic colors but depending
on perhaps the fabric the leather or you know
if it’s a limited edition i would assume then
the prices may go up another interesting fact
about this these are made wholly of leather and
when i say holy i mean even the sole of this shoe
this is leather this is actual leather obviously
this top part is leather this is also leather i’ve
also heard from people who have these say that
because it is actual leather on the sole of the
shoe that it is actually best for you before you
even start wearing them outside to take them to
a cobbler to actually protect that leather sole
so i’m going to try and find a cobbler in my area
who can actually protect these for me because
i want to start wearing them right away on the
inside of each sandal you have i’m just going
to try to show you there’s a serial number there
and they’re identical on each shoe i
guess because of the pair but yeah so it
also shows that it is an actual authentic hermes
item size wise ordinarily in shoes and a size 37
and a half in european sizes however i watched so
many reviews about these sandals and everybody was
talking about how they run a little bit small so i
decided to size up to a size 38 and a half that’s
one full size above my normal size so i’m trying
them out for the first time with you guys i really
hope they fit i hope they fit well if they don’t i
have the option to send them back for an exchange
but i really am hoping that they are a great fit
they are full leather so they are supposed to
actually stretch with the more use and wear so i
trust that if they happen to be a little too snug
i shouldn’t worry too much because then they’re
going to stretch out the more i wear them but
if they are too big then i i’ll be sending
them back right away because if they are
already too big they can only stretch a
little bit more and then they won’t be
a great fit for me in the summer my feet tend to
swell up a little bit and i do not like a shoe
that is too narrow because then my foot becomes
a little bit sausage looking in my sandals and i
don’t want that so and if i’m wearing an hermes
shoes i don’t expect to look crazy wearing them
guys they’re perfect fit so i am super stoked
about that now at the beginning i did mention
that i have a great dupe lined up for you guys
and sometimes when you see an item like this
either you can’t afford it at the time or even
if you can afford it you may just want to try it
out in a less expensive option in order for you to
get a feel for it and see whether or not it works
out for you how it looks on you whether it fits
into your style whether you can get a lot of wear
out of it so that’s exactly what i did before i
purchased these i went and i got a dupe of these
and i’ve had it for the past two years now i’ve
been wearing them i wear them a lot so i got to
realize that i can actually get a lot of use out
of these shoes and it looks good with my personal
style it fits right in and it is the steve
madden pair of sandals and as you can see guys
how beat they are on the sole there i have worn
these to death but it is such a great dupe that
i’m still wearing these i’m still going to
continue to wear these because they are so
good they are also obviously it’s steve madden it
is real leather and it’s a much softer leather i
will say than the orange sandals i have also seen
these shoes these sandals be duped by other brands
and i’m going to actually link all of the dupes
that i think are great for the oran sandals on my
LIKEtoKNOWit so it will be down in the description
box so that you can directly shop those dupes if
you wish to you can also head on over to my
instagram you’ll find the link to my like to
know it and you can actually shop these dupes
i also just wanted to cover one more thing just
to show you how great of a value these sandals
actually are i went ahead and i also searched
other luxury designer brands that offer sandals
that are similar to these oran sandals maybe not
similar in design but similar in the type of style
and i just wanted to show you a comparison of
the price that these others currently retail for
from these major luxury brands starting off we
have the roman stud sandals by valentino and these
retail for 850 dollars that is 220 more than the
oran sandals louis vuitton has similar style in
the locket flat mule theirs starts at the price of
680 but depending on the design and the material
that you go for you can even pay as high as eight
hundred and ninety dollars if you are a gucci girl
you can try their marmont slides and they retail
for six hundred and ninety dollars do offers a
similar style by way of that d-way slide and this
retails for seven hundred and thirty dollars and
coming in at the very high price of one thousand
two hundred and twenty dollars is bottega veneta
they are little sandals so i make the comparison
to all these other luxury brands because you have
to bear in mind that these oran sandals by hermes
were first conceptualized in 1997. so that is over
20 years of being out there on the market and they
are just as popular today as they were back then
i am somebody who when it comes to luxury items
i really do gravitate towards the items that have
a history and they are long-standing and that i
know that no matter the changes in seasons and
trends they will be long-standing if i’m spending
this type of money on items i want to know that
above my excitement and love for them currently
i will still get so much use and enjoyment out of
them in the years to come five ten years from now
i will still be wearing my oran sandal and i
will not feel like it’s outdated and i need to
maybe get a newer model this has been the design
since 1997 and it has withstood the test of time
so now that i have seen these and i’ve tried
them on and i felt them i don’t know i think that
i might just start saving up for the white i’ve
also seen you know the orange color as well
and i am so confused because although i love
this and i needed to get this because i wanted
this classic classic color i’m excited at the idea
of getting a brighter more festive color you know
that orange is just so gorgeous but that white for
me just says vacation vibes you know it’s like the
perfect color to wear with your vacation outfits
and it’s giving me ideas it’s giving me ideas
i now can’t wait to have somewhere to go where
i can style these and take them out for a spin
so guys don’t forget to check me out on like to
know it this is where i’m going to post all of my
shoppable links for the alternatives to the sandal
on there i post a lot more alternatives than what
i will share here on youtube because here i will
only be linking down the actual hermes sandals
but on my LIKEtoKNOWit you will find
the alternatives the much more cheaper
dupes that are available and i will try and make
sure that they are actually all leather options
because you want that quality you want something
long lasting like my steve maddens which are still
as great as they were when i first got them thank
