Hermes

This week's brand noose! I have chosen a really really high end brand to talk about. For those who are not sure what it is, the logo of it is a carriage with a horse(well, the description I gave may make it sound like COACH), the logo is here:

Yes, as the picture suggests, it is Hermes. Many of you may pronounce it as "her-meese", actually its actual pronunciation should be "air-mess".

This brand is established in 1837 and specializes in high fashion leather goods. The leather goods in its production line are all very exquisite and luxurious looking.

Probably the reason why it is so expensive may be due to the reason that all bags are handmade. Each inch of leather and the buckle that come along with it, are all hand sewn into a bag that you see in the boutiques.

Hermes is so famous mainly due to two types of bags that they sell, one is the "Kelly Bag" and the other is its "Birkin Series".

These are the two series of bags that pushed this high fashion brand into its world of fame.

Personally, I would prefer the Birkin bags! If you haven seen it before, i suggest you take a look in their website and you'll know why it is so famous and popular among the rich.

Just another piece of info, for birkin series, they can only produce about 20 odd bags per year, because buyers can choose the type of leather they want to use, the type of buckle and the type of custom designs they wish to add and on top of that, everything is handmade.

Due to this, currently, their waiting list for birkin bags, is about 3 years now.

You may think it is a very long time to wait for just a bag, but when birkin bags were so in demand, their longest waiting list was up to 6 years! Crazy isn't it. But, i feel that good things are worth the wait.

Well, but this kind of over-luxurious items are not for me because one bag alone costs at least THIRTEEN THOUSAND Singapore Dollars!
