If I were an equestrian . . .

. . . I would only wear Hermès

In my simple opinion,
this brand is the epitome of luxury
and everything it means to be obscenely wealhy.

In the infamous bags known by their first name,
the luxurious materials they use,
the waiting list,
The lack of advertisements of their bags
It all adds up to only one brand.
Hermès
But enough of me gushing
and I'm sure you too are among the thousands who wish they could own one of the bags
let's look at the photos

The ultimate Birk
Rare saltwater crocodile
Palladium hardware on the bag
encrusted with fourteen carats
of pavé diamonds
Costs more than my firstborn child and my left kidney
*Palladium by the way does not tarnish unlike silver so it will remain shiny for years to come.
(thank you wiki)

Ahh the Birkin
named after none other than the gorgeous creature Jane Birkin

Let's not forget the other darling hanging on your other arm

The Kelly
I adore a Kelly in blue
A beauty and no animal got skinned in the process

Blue Jean, though is a gorgeous colour


And the obsession runs deep
take a look at these
Some of us like to start out young with good taste

But enough with pictures
Let's get technological and watch a video.
Fashion File went to Paris to interview the artisans who spend weeks constructing the bag you wait your life for




As for me?

I would probably be willing to live without electricity for 6 months to own
a Lindy bag




Slightly less expensive (hah)
and I completely swayed by the straps

Naomi knows how to carry it and nothing beats a Hermès bag in its signature burnt orange colour


I would inhabit Victoria Beckham just to get at her collection of Hermès bags
(compliments of Bagsnob.com whose ladies have an extensive obsession with the bags too but they actually own several)


Unfortunately the closest time I ever got to touching a Hermès bag
was when I was 7.
My best friend's mom used to be a salesperson there
and we wandered in to say hi.
I had no idea what Hermès was at that time but oh dear god I knew the things I saw were niceeee
