Designer bags are not only an essential part of the wardrobe of fashion lovers but also a real financial asset, according to experts from the consulting company Knight Frank.
Hermes is not so secretive when it comes to the production of their products, they actually inform their clients of how they source their exotic skins. This level of transparency is how Hermes remains the elite fashion house in the luxury industry.
The Hermes Birking JPG was named after Jean Paul Gaultier, the designer and mastermind of the bag. During his tenure with Hermes, he did a modern day twist on the iconic Birkin by shortening the body, extending the handles longer and including larger hardware. Making this a perfect shoulder bag.
It’s summer, which means bright colours are in! One of our favourite summer trends right now are pastels, neons and bold colours. Never be afraid to style a bold colored bag, colour blocking is in and adding a pop of colour to your outfit is never out of style.
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. It comes in over 80 colors, with So Black, Rubis and Blue Zanzibar being the rarest colors to get your hands on. The charm is made from Milo Lambskin, a soft leather commonly used for gloves and accessories. The leather remains smooth with use, making it perfect for the charm. Did you notice the leather strap hanging on the saddle similar to riding a horse, the strap is long enough to be wrapped around the bag twice to secure it.

Mommy Bag (noun): Mary Poppins of bags usually contain diapers, snacks and everything you and everyone around you may need. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to have a kid to rock a mommy bag. How is a mommy bag different from a tote? I’m glad you asked. A mommy bag can be even a small bag that if organized correctly, can fit everything you could possibly need. A tote is usually larger and typically made of canvas, leather or any easy to clean material. These bags are perfect since they are able to carry all essentials while remaining stylish and elegant. The Birkin is the OG mommy bag – Jane Birkin originally used it as a diaper bag. Bags are meant to be enjoyed and used. If you are worried about them getting a little dirty, don’t worry, we […]

I personally love how secure the bag is with the strings that pull the bag […]
