When you consider designer names, there’s Hermes and then there’s everyone else. No other brand can command such exorbitant prices or inspire such envy as the French fashion house. And that’s precisely why a simple bag like this Paris-Bombay costs a whopping $5800.
I figured I’d get that shocking fact out of the way first. If you’re unfazed by the bottom line, read on. While the Paris-Bombay is basic, it’s got a quiet elegance about it. The nutty brown shade is delicious, yet versatile enough to suit your wardrobe all year round. The textured cowhide and long shape are quite simply classics.
The interior has all the luxury you’d expect from such a pricy purse. The tan leather lining is so opulent, but I can’t help worrying about ink stains and lipstick marks! There’s a long patch pocket in one wall and two smaller open compartments in the other. I wonder why Hermes opted for slip pockets over the traditional zip pouch, but I suppose it’s not my place to question this great luxury label!
It may not be a Birkin, but I think the Paris-Bombay bag is every inch as desirable. I could never afford one though, so I hope Santa is feeling extra generous this year!
