Time to put an end to the suspense. We previously teased you with the orange box, now it’s time to show off the goods. This being Megs’ first dive into Hermes exotics, the Hermes Kelly Long Wallet  in orange matte alligator is the quintessential combination of skin and tone from the House of Hermes handbags. The wallet is made from matte Mississippi alligator and dyed in Hermes’ signature orange color. The gator version is denoted by the small square printed by the Hermes logo. This exotic skin is mainly reserved for Hermes’ smaller leather goods, larger bags are very rare in alligator.

Hermes has become ubiquitous with all the ultimate designer handbags. The luxury associated with Hermes is known worldwide, continues throughout the years and seasons, and transcends across generations. My collection of Hermes bags is small, but includes all Holy Grail bags for me; a Blue Jean Birkin, a Hermes Kelly Wallet in Orange Alligator, and my stunning white Kelly Longue. Next on my wishlist from the brand is really a travel size bag. Top of my list is the Haut A Courroies, better known to the masses as the HAC. And also the ultimate HAC from Hermes could be the crocodile HAC that was at Christie's.

The rare dark red crocodile Hermes 45cm HAC was made in 1972. The bag was given to Christie's to be auctioned, and was said to be sold for a reported $40,700. The price wasn't out of this world, as many Hermes items that are rare might have to go for much more. The Crocodylus porosus is an exotic staple of the house, highly sought after, highly stunning, and highly priced. I would settle for a leather HAC that may be used as a travel bag. Find more Hermes items at Christie's to tantalize your handbag obsession and love.

"Mad Men" has gone beyond a fashion fad. The AMC show about a 1960s ad agency - by which style is as important as the characters and plot - continues to influence runways and retailers with a branded collection debuting this week at Banana Republic.

The new clothing line also provides a temporary fix for "Mad Men" devotees awaiting the show's return in 2012. No new episodes of the show aired this year.

The clothes are sexy, and Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, said that is one of the things that has resonated with viewers and shoppers. The show gives us permission to dress to impress the opposite sex - and in fact encourages it, she said.

Madison Avenue during that era was practically a catwalk with men in three-piece suits and fedoras, and women in sheaths and high-heel pumps carrying handle-top birkin handbags.

It's a good look - then one that people look good wearing, said Simon Kneen, creative director for Banana Republic. "It's about good tailoring, it's bon ton, and a little more buttoned up and polished."

Gone is the enhanced hourglass created with bust darts and high waistline, Ms. Bryant said, and they have changed the colors to focus on more sophisticated navys, reds and blacks instead of the popular palette of the 60s of acid green and mustard yellow, Ms. Bryant said. She said the 2011 alternatives to those shades - if you're married to green and yellow - could be emerald and canary.replica hermes handbags

Fabrics have stretch and so are more lightweight, and the design has to consider comfort.

Who’s that girl spotted having her black and orange Hermes Birkin carried by her bodyguard?

None other than Lady Gaga.I really wanted to tell you how Gaga is gaga for Hermes. Because she is. She doesn’t just carry her Hermes bags, she specializes them. Like the time she studded her black Birkin or the time she took a sharpie to her white Birkin to leave a message to her fans.

The most recent time we saw Gaga carrying Hermes bags was actually not her hand holding the two bags – it was her bodyguard. Lady Gaga had her bodyguard on Birkin duty.

 

 

 

 

Could the extensive coverage of Pakistan foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar's Birkin handbags have spurred Hermes to go beyond its bags and scarves to tempt the subcontinental fashion buffs? For, a decade after the French luxury brand Hermes handbags debuted a limited edition of silk sarees.

A Hermes India spokesperson confirmed that the brand would launch a limited edition collection of four to five silk sarees in India in October. Priced at $1,800 with another $500 for a matching blouse, the ensemble would cost you a tad less than the first collection.

In 2009, the brand launched Garden of your Monsoon, a perfume inspired by the arrival of monsoon in Kerala. "This shows what a powerful market India is," said designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, whose sarees are trousseau must-haves. Hina Rabbani Khar and fashionistas worldwide aren't the only ones who covet Hermes Birkin 40.

Those silk mousseline sarees retailed at around $1,200 each at Hermes' London store in Sloane Street in October 2000. And they were designed by Sunita Kumar, a Kolkata-based designer who is the wife of former Indian tennis player Naresh Kumar together with Hermes' in-house designers.

Bernard Arnault's luxury conglomerate LVMH has increased its stake in the label to 20%, prompting the Hermes family. Little wonder then that Hermes shares bucked the trend in the falling market last week, taking its valuation to nearly 26 billion - almost as much as banking major Societe Generale. With Hermes targeting luxury buyers in new markets (China being the star), the limited edition saree may be the first of several India-specific launches.
