All I want for Christmas is this Hermès Collier de Chien bracelet in 18 karat yellow gold. Please hold your breath for the price tag...... $69,500

CDC On The Street

Hermès Collier de Chien is a must have accessory for every fashionista. Although it's a little pricey but I think it's a good investment for such a classic piece. And now it's available in men's size.

One is Not Enough

Apparently one Hermes CDC is not enough for this fashionista...

Black and Blue

Someone once said to me I shouldn't wear Black and Blue together and my answer is "Why not?"

Oops !!!

In the movie Transformer 3, Frances McDormand's character told her assistant to grab something in one of her many bags. When her assistant asked which one, she said "it's Hermes BIRKIN green ostrich." But it turned out to be "Hermes KELLY green ostrich." 

That's all...

The Power of Asian Buyers

Despite the world's economic crisis (the recession in the US and economic problem in Turkey, Portugal, etc.), Hermès sales has gained 23% over the first half of 2010, thanks to the Asian market. "The second-quarter revenue jumped 57 percent in Asia, excluding Japan, where sales gained 10 percent." You can read full report here...

Gaultier Leaving Hermès

Jean Paul Gaultier is said to be resigning from 6-year run creative director of Hermès, his last collection will be in Paris this October. With Gaultier's help, Hermès' profit has rose despite the recession. In July, the company announced a 12% increase in second-quarter sales ($607.4 million at current exchange) in the 3 months ending June 30. Leather goods were up 33.4%; ready-to-wear and fashion increased by 12.7%.
It's heartbreaking to hear the news because I love the creations of Gaultier for Hermès. He made the collections look younger and more fun without losing the sophistication of the brand. Not to mention the countless reinterpretation of the iconic "Collier de Chien", "Kelly" and "Birkin."
