While not exactly new designs, Hermes S/S2011 man bags left me wanting them very very much, I don’t know how to cope with them. Besides the bags, I am also so much into the clothes. Oh shit…

Hello Purseholic
I am a 30-year old corporate lawyer in Hong Kong and a purseholic. I have been dreaming of owning an Hermes Birkin bag ever since I bought my first designer bag with my first pay cheque (it was a Gucci). Since I have been a good repeat customer to the Hermes store in Central, [...]
After 7 years of bringing Hermes from a leather company to a respectable fashion house, Jean Paul Gaultier’s last collection for the French label will be the Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Hermes announced last Thursday that Christophe Lemaire of Lacoste will be taking over as the Artistic Director from the Fall/Winter 2011 collection onwards. It remains [...]
Hi Purseholic
Just curious, what are the bags on your wish list now?

Hi Jay
I don’t wish to burst your bubble but honestly there is not any one bag high on my wish list for now. Blame it to the designers who, in my opinion, have been slacking on the man bag department lately. For the [...]
Hermes Kelly 32 in Orange Swift
Fendi Peekaboo in natural leather and Python lining
Hi Purseholic
I am a 40-year old single woman who is lucky enough to have been able to earn enough to finally afford my first Hermes Kelly, which I have been eying for it for the past 3 years. Lately however, I am totally [...]
What will you do to personalize your Hermes Birkin? Stamp it with your initials? Maybe. Hanging an Hermes bag charm on it? Perhaps. Tying a scarf around it? Mostly! For Lady Gaga, she was spotted with a white Birkin, graffitied with Japanese characters that translate to “I love little monster, Tokyo Love”. The “little monster” [...]
Someone help me understand because I couldn’t - What is the point of designing a beautiful and coveted bag and put it on a runway when it is mostly not available at the stores when most people with money want to buy it? Look at this updated Hermes Kelly and how gorgeous and current it [...]
One of the Hermes classic pieces, the Jige clutch is a perfectly elegant and understated clutch made entirely of leather without a single piece of hardware. For the Spring/Summer 2010, the collection is re-introduced in the signature Blue Jean, orange, Honey, black and a dashing yellow. Price starts from USD2,175 for the large size (cheaper [...]
Something from Hermes is never wrong as a gift even if it is just a simple silver heart-shape pendant (with a reference to “H”) with red silk cord. It costs USD500. Not too bad for an Hermes pendant as a Valentine’s gift for your loved one.

About a month ago, I passed by The Hermes store at Liat Tower Orchard Road and standing in the window display was a large Bolide in the best form of the bag I had ever seen so I quickly sent an email to my contact in Hermes to inquire for the size, leather and the [...]
Hi Purseholic
How do I buy a Shooting Star Birkin? I heard it is rare and difficult to get even if you have the money?
Linda in Bangkok
Hi Linda
Err… You are not supposed to be able to buy a Shooting Star Birkin or Shooting Star Hermes anything for that matter. A Shooting Star stamp is a signature [...]
Hermes Birkin 35 in Rouge Indien Matt Alligator, EUR40,411 at luxury-shops.com
Hello Purseholic
Merry Christmas to you all and to all other readers (I hope my email got posted).
I read on the Purseforum that there is no more such thing as a wait-list for Hermes Birkin. Is that true? I have been saving for years to [...]
I am currently reading this book and I have to say, so far I am impressed by the superb writing and story-telling, plots and witty jokes by Michael Tonello. I am not sure how Hermes is taking this book but hey it is a free publicity still, don’t you think? Hermes Birkin is certainly the [...]
As precious and rare as they are, Kelly bags in crocs and ostrich skins are somehow commoditized these days in the arms of rich but unclassy celebs like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. This is a beautiful, classy and very rare Hermes Kelly, made of Pony Hair. The bag is pre-owned and is available at [...]
Hermes Victoria is such a simple and elegant bag from Hermes. The price is reasonable (for a bag from Hermes it is) too. Besides the Bolide, this should be your pre-Kelly bag. Available for EUR2,700 a pop.
