I am down with a bout of Hermès fever. After a long day at a fashion shoot, I came back and was handed the latest Hermès presskit. Also immediately my fatigue disappeared as I flipped the lookbook ever so gently, lapping it all up. Page after page, I read the descriptions for each beauty over and over again. Everything was so exotic, so gorgeous and so lust worthy!

Take the Hermès Kelly for example. In collaboration with feather specialists Lemariè, peacock feathers were carefully handpicked and attached individually, forming a delicate pattern of iridescent colours framed by box calfskin leather.

It may not be to everyone’s taste, but it shows how much artistry goes into each and every piece produced by Hermès. It also means you have to pay more, but if it can become a family heirloom eventually I feel it is justified. More delicious Hermès beauties to come, stay tuned!
