An "H" Call

Just another day I came home from work, as soon as I stepped inside the house my husband just couldn’t wait to tell me what I got in a mail.

Husband: Looky..looky you got something from Herpes!!

Me: From Herpes? Herpes? What the heck? (My husband likes to refer to Hermes as Herpes – well kind of gross)

Husband: How in the world you are on their mailing list?

Me: Don’t you remember we went there to buy a little something teeny tiny earlier this year?

Husband: Oh, yeah I forgot. Wow babe, you are special!

Me: Give me a break (eye-rolling action), it is just a magazine. Tease me with more stuff I don’t can’t freakin’ afford.

My eyes lightened up like a Christmas tree when I saw this Barenia Alligator Birkin (poor alligator). It is like I can totally afford it. Even if I could, I would be too paranoid to carry a $xxx,xxx handbag in public with a constant fear that someone would kill me and steal a darn bag.



I adore the simplicity and understated elegance of Hermes but there are certain designs which I totally do not understand their concepts or inspirations. Perhaps, my lack of sophisticated eyes and not so vey artistic minded suppress my ability to see the abstract beauty within. Some of their stuff look totally wacky – don’t even mention the prices..good grief!

I believe that they got an inspiration from a cocoon…hmmmm....yeah

    Lol. Awww. Hubbies are so funny. Yes. Hermes, and all designers, give us the greatest inspirations.

    So....my dream bag to own someday is the Hermes Kelly 32 CM Chamonix Leather Sellier Stitched, in Olive Green. I live 8 blocks from Hermes in Chicago and everytime I am 10 ft from that place, fear and a cold sweat comes over my body... Will my dream bag be there? If it is will I plank down my amex and walk out with a jumbo orange paper shopping bag? Will I then faint about a month later when the credit card statement arrives and I see the balance due???? Just typing it is giving me a cold sweat...lol!

    6 digits can buy you many trips to where your parents are from and bring back like half a truck-load of stuff from there too!! =D

    Oh oh..have you start your Christmas wish-list? Maybe you should put in "Herpes" stuff in the wish-list and pass it to your hubby? =D

    I would LOVE to own a Hermes bag one day, but I would also be very paranoid carrying it around! It costs a fortune!

    LOL @ the last pic! It looks like a carpet to me =P

    LOL! My husband also used to refer to Hermès as 'herpes'!! But he's stopped with that, as he's come to respect them, as they are still one of the few luxury brands that haven't started cutting corners on their quality. I wish I could have gotten a catalog from them! Thanks for sharing a glimpse of it!

    I got the same catalogue too and about fainted!! I've never gotten anything from them (but then I remembered that I purchased a small something from them way back when also)!

    And hello... do you not want to be draped in a $xxxxx fluffy cocoon? LOL!

    Thanks for sharing the funny hubby story! :o)

    Hi Nelah, you know, if you refer to Hermes as Herpes then their bags don't really seem as luxurious, non? hehe. I can only dream of owning something from Hermes. I really want the clic clak bracelet (the one with the H on it) for xmas, but afraid to ask hubby as he will ask the price first. Is it bad that I ask for that for xmas? :)
