This video shows you what goes into making your Hermès bag!
It’s really quite an eye-opener.
You get to see your bag that came from just pieces of leather and then hand-stitched by one master craftsman.
Ahh..makes me drools even more for the 40cm HAC in Black Fjord leather (pictured is a 50cm though).
Hopefully when I can finally afford it, current price increases don’t shoot it through the roof!
It’s so nice as a work bag =D
A little reveal on Hermès history.
Truly remarkable and fascinating.
I also did an earlier post about how to get your grubby paws on a Birkin -fast!
Enjoy life’s little luxuries!
How much the cost of that bag?
If my figures are correct, it should be retailing for USD9100 currently, without tax.
Next month, come August 2008, there will be another price increase at around 10%, and there might be another possible increase in January 2009.
There’s at least two price increases in a year.
So if you had to wait for ‘The Bag’ to come through, presumably 2 years if unlucky, you would have to experience possibly 4 price increases!
So yeah, by the time I could afford it…the price tag would be shooting through my roof.
