Designers Handbags

Hermes signifies classic style and elegance. Yet on the Paris runway, I was thinking that JCrew was there rather than the iconic Hermes. The Hermes Spring 2007 collection hit the boardwalk-like-runway of Paris and delivered a less-than-stellar line up of beachy wear, and casual kickbacks, along with tracksuits. Yikes. What I paid attention to closely were the bags of course, and these bags were collapsible Kelly Bags that were strapped together to look more like a large clutch than a bag. Upond first glance, I like the bag looking this way. Then it occured to me that this bag is so impractical all tied up that it now officially has no use. Our Hermes enthusiasts can be the judges of these bags, a big Yay or over powering Nay?

Hermes bags are among the most sought after, most exclusive handbags in the world. Prices in the 5 digits and customer waiting lists with years in waiting time are both common alike. Needless to say, it’s absolutely exhilarating to see some of our forum members who are proud owners of some very rare pieces that take your breath away. For me, it’s particularly the sheer beauty of these timeless Kelly and Birkin pieces… and the excitement to know that our site plays host to some of these wonderful collectors.
