Anyone who’s ever tried to push a needle through any kind of durable material knows that doing it in an orderly, aesthetically pleasing way is nearly impossible, which just makes the amount of handwork that goes into some of Hermes’ leather goods all the more impressive.
The Hermes Birkin is synonymous with classic. But what do you think about Hermes’ take on the Birkin Club for Spring/Summer 2011? The bag features stripes (some refer to them as racing stripes). Tri-colored, we think the colors are gris, perle and Mykonos blue lizard.
The overall vibe of the Hermes Birkin Club has a younger feel to it – something meant to be seen as more fun, with even a tad of a sporty finish. Do you prefer the classic Birkin or the Birkin Club?
People always wonder why Hermes handbags cost so much, and the answer is a complicated one, just like it would be difficult to explain why a Bentley costs as much as the average American pays for a house; the prices simply aren’t based on materials and labor alone. In fact, the video tour of Hermes’ newest Paris store probably gives a much more succinct illustration than words ever could.
We’ve covered the exquisitely detailed work of Hermes Window Design Director Leïla Menchari previously, and she continues to create unique, spellbindingly intricate designs for the brand’s Paris flagship with the change of every season. Hermes released this photo of Menchari’s Winter 2011 work on Facebook yesterday, leaving all of us playing a dazzling game of Where’s Waldo with some of the world’s most expensive handbags.

Who’s that girl spotted having her black and orange Hermes Birkin carried by her bodyguard?
Last week we gave you an intimate insight into the inner workings behind the private sales site that is Rue La La. While we toured the premises, the team of 300 strong was diligently preparing for the big Hermes Sales event that launches tomorrow, November 16th at 11am EST sharp.
I already uncovered some of the pieces that will be available tomorrow in the Hermes forum on TPF a few days back, now it’s time to see a few of the treasures up close before they go on sale tomorrow.
