All types of bags at the Hermes A/W 2008 Show

March 10th, 2008 · 10 Comments

Let’s remove ourselves from reality for a minute and pretend we can afford $9,000 handbags every season. Okay, now drool with me for the next few pictures…

Where does Hermes go after it’s iconic Birkin bag and the Birkin 2.0 (JPG “Shoulder Birkin”)? To a “true” over the shoulder… introducing the Hermes messenger bag.

I’m loving the proportions and the simplicity.

Most of all, I love the clever way they paired them with the same tone outfits. The red leather here pops out next to the deeper red.And of course… it wouldn’t be Hermes if they didn’t make a $30,000 croc version:

Speaking of bags at the Hermes show, check out the bags under model Vlada Roslyakova’s eyes. Did they run out of Touche Eclat at the show?

I’m wondering if she was just overworn from being at the Fall shows… or if this is a new look.

    lordy lord…even if i could afford the price tag, sometimes i wonder if i would buy it. i was watching the will & grace episode the other day where karen freaks out that grace is gong to cut her hermes tag off her sweater because “that’s the best part!” i love hermes, but that bag is just a bit too plain and too hyped. forgive me.

    I like the flair of the messenger bag, paired with the outfits in the show. However, I don’t foresee this working easily into anyone’s wardrobe for everyday wear, except maybe the white one. :) Just thought it was interesting how they translated their structured leather into a messenger. :D

    Like Sarah, I always thought the bag was a bit “done” as well… But I’d be all over this messenger style if my money was burning a hole in my pocket… unfortunately, it just feels like chilling where it is! I went to Bangkok a few months ago and killed it in the purse department, I know it’s hard to believe… But I swear I’m done with purses for a season or two! CT what was your splurge at the Asian markets? I want to go back!!!

    Interestingly enough my splurge was probably on dresses. When I went, cropped and bubble dresses were really popular to wear with tights/boots so I bought a whole bunch. Most of them were made of a stretchy cotton material, and unfortunately most have shrunk and are definitely too short to wear here. :(

    Recently I’ve been seeing all of the new LV Spring styles pop up and I’m itching to splurge. :D

    Looks like it was done on purpose. In keeping in line with the new messenger bag theme? – ‘tired-student chic’. Lol.

    The red one looks delicious.

    So let’s ignore the fact that you totally dissed Vlada, the bags were amazing and very high end a bit too publicized given that Hermes is not for common people and just so every one knows vlada is a
    model and they work very hard barely sleep and barely have time to them selves the bags are an ovbious effect of what a hectic life can look like and chances are that no one in this forum has eyes that are any better
