Hermes Handbags and Purses

Even though I didn’t get to spend Mother’s Day itself with my mom, I had the chance to see her for the entire week before and it was quite the treat. We celebrated early, and I had it in my mind that my mom needed a new handbag that would work with her personal style and that she would be able to carry it for years to come.

My mom and I took a drive down to my favorite mall, Bal Harbour Shops in North Miami Beach, to see what the Hermes store had in stock. There were no Birkins or Kellys on the shelves, but that’s not what we were there for. I know my mom’s style. → Read More

The world of fashion is often synonymous with the world of the absurd. Don’t think I don’t realize that, I certainly do, but this world is a where art meets dreams. Hermes constantly wows us with their gorgeous designs and many times we all turn to Hermes to be shocked with sticker prices. You would think the shock wears off over time, and it does, but never completely.

I adore stacking Hermes bracelets on both of my wrists for my version of a wrist party. I was perusing the brand’s website, casually looking to add some new arm candy to my repertoire, when I ran into the Hermes Kelly MM Rose Gold Bracelet. → Read More

You know what’s even better than a classic? A really good twist on what everyone expects. Hermes isn’t a brand that messes with tradition too eagerly, but when it does decide to switch things up, the end results are usually spectacular. (Not to mention well-implemented. The Hermes Atelier Sacs is a thing of beauty.) Lucky for Hermes lovers, the brand’s Fall 2012 collection contains two updated classics: The Hermes Kelly Ghillies, which features spectator trim for a menswear touch, and the Hermes Club Birkin, with a leather-trimmed web inset that calls to mind the season’s sporty trends. Which do you prefer? Take a closer look at the bags after the jump and then vote in our poll!

Luxury brands are secretive beasts by nature; they need an air of mystery and wonderment in order to maintain the exclusivity that’s necessary for consumer interest. In the past few years, though, the Internet has blown the doors off some of the industry’s most important ateliers and provided consumers with a peek at the process by which their favorite bags are made. We recently pointed you toward photos from inside Chanel and Valentino, but today, we have something truly special to show you by way of Park & Cube: the Hermes Atelier Sacs, where the brand’s handbags are made.

Hermes has loosened up a bit in recent years in order to highlight the brand’s relationship with its materials and manufacturing and the craftsmanship necessary to create one of its bags, which includes occasionally letting in bloggers and photographers like Shini Park of Park & Cube to view and photograph their process. Park did an absolutely beautiful job capturing not only how the bags are made, but also the personality of the atelier and the final display of the products at retail. We’ve included a few of our favorite shots of the manufacturing process after the jump, but the full photo set and blog post are really worth a look. → Read More

From time to time, we like to take a look at some of the lesser-known products that the world’s biggest brands stock on their websites. From pencils to flasks to wine accouterments, Hermes has always excelled at these nifty little pieces, and the brand certainly has a following that’s dedicated enough to snap up whatever it is it manufactures in order to round out their collections. Many of these pieces also make a great entry point for new customers because of their relatively low price point, compared to, say, a Birkin.

Other times, these unexpected pieces are a tad more extravagant: the $2,000 rocking horse baby gift, pictured above, for example. Or a coloring book, labeled as appropriate for both children and adults! Did you know Hermes made a coloring book? I didn’t, and yet, it exists. And really, that’s only scratching the surface – check out ten of our favorite finds from deep in the belly of Hermes.com, after the jump. → Read More

I’m often first in line to make gentle fun of things like $700 Hermes wine-raters, but what the company does with some of its products is truly inspirational to those of us who love accessories and the craft that goes into making them. For every leather-covered non-mechanical pencil, there’s something like the Hermes Le Pegase Lumiere Shawl, a hand-adorned piece that mixes traditional artisanship with modern aesthetics so flawlessly that I almost don’t care what other silly things might lurk in some of the more overpriced corners of an Hermes boutique. It really must be seen closer to be believed, so follow us after the jump… → Read More
