Hermes
not pronounced "her-mees" pronounced "her-mez"
the parisian factory produces 5 bags a week, supplying over 250 hermes stores worldwide --> 5 year wait for a bag + starting cost of US$6000.
the price is dependent on the species of crocodile skin you choose, and the highest reaching $25000. and if you choose your buckle to be diamond studded.. $65000.
$65000 for a bag.
i dont know whether its remarkably stupid way to spend money, or a worthy amount spent on beautiful handiwork.
actually, doesnt matter either way. i want one. i want to at least own one by the time im 30.
oh i sense the beginning of a very dangerous and expensive addiction.
