Rodeo Charm wasn’t an immediate fan favorite. However, now it’s a must have for all Hermes lovers. It won the hearts of fans with its adorable shape and puffy texture.

In some superstitions, if you put your bag on the ground it means a loss of money (we don’t love that). Overstuffing your bag You do not need to carry a laptop, a […]
