Hermes Fall 2009

Jean Paul Gaultier did it again; as with the JPB birkin a few years ago-- he tweaked on the uber popular Hermes birkin just enough but not so much that it's not recognizable. Gone are the straps, hardware and flap, or are they? This is an amazingly creative use of Trompe-l'œil, now why didn't I think of this? It's genius! You don't have to worry about the buckle scratching or the straps catching. It's just fabulously fun! Maybe it will cost less as there is no hardware, a recessionista birkin perhaps? Of course the birkin is still center stage in black croc but it's nice to see the alternative. The Goodlock clutch I debuted yesterday shows up again in somber autumn colors and I am awaiting info on the fabulous long crocodile clutches! Stay tuned! What do you think of the new birkin?
