Hermes Pumpkin Tote | Orange Pebbled Leather Cutout Handbag

Posted on: Dec 29

Hermes Pumpkin Tote Who said pumpkins are just for Halloween? Hermes encourages us to think of them all year round with this Pumpkin Tote.

I can't help but imagine a Jack-O-Lantern as I look at this unique tote. I'm not sure whether it was intentional, but the cutout holes appear like a pair of eyes and tiny pursed mouth, especially against the orange colored leather. He's not grinning like a traditional Jack-O-Lantern, but perhaps it's just Halloween that makes this pumpkin smile!

It's unusual but I’m not completely sold on this tote. The drawstring closure has a casual charm, but it's not as refined as I expect from this esteemed fashion house. The twisted rope handles are also a bit too relaxed, and not as comfortable as I'd like. And it's small, particularly for the price.

At $2600 this is far from the most expensive Hermes purse I've seen, but it's also lacking for the money. This is one of those cases of paying for the name rather than the bag behind it. I suppose it's an attainable way to own a piece of the fashion house, but I can think of many better bags to drop that kind of cash on.
