My trip to hermes and lv hometown - a shock from their products

 

We all do apologize sincerely, there is however at this moment everything has been slow immediately at the purse blog. After 2 months of separation, the resident love birds Megs and Vladi have been reunited in the central Western European country of Malaysia. Yay! Weather?¡¥s not even attempt to be pumped up about, but emotions certainly are on the high side ?a the situation is just fabulous. In addition to all the time spent together, additionally we felt highly compelled to pursue our passion in fashion and do a little shopping slash browsing through Europe?¡¥s major towns to check out the latest trends and goodies in the handbag market. First stop on the voyage: Cologne, Germany.

 

In addition to its monstrous, intimidating and impressive, almost 760 year-old Koelner Dom (left) along with the beautiful Rhein River, there also seemed to be quite enticing shopping opportunities, potent enough to get a complete lotta moolah beyond foreign (and native) pockets. Choice the ICE, we immediately found inside us the center of town, right through the gorgeous Dom. After a quick detour into its chilly, ginormous nave, we headed befitting for a pair of our absolute favorite, exorbitantly pricey Parisian Haute Couture fashion shops: kelly and Louis Vuitton. Even with forgotten to shoot pictures of evidence, you can believe us that those two stores are put within one store of each other (separated by a Chopard store), conveniently located on the plaza facing the Dom. This venue does ensure contact with lots of international visitors, either visiting to have presents for those family members in the home, or prepared to indulge themselves with high-class goodies.

 

Louis Vuitton Pochette AccessoiresWe first strolled to the LV store. What had already captured our attention in the store front was Louis Vuitton??s seemingly different Monogram Cerises line of bags. The colorful cherries exemplify a new and intriguing homage to Louis?¡¥ traditional signature monogram canvas ?a correct in here we are at the fruity and fun spring. As the a pair of us don?¡¥t appear to agree with much from time to time, the two of us found the Louis Vuitton Sac Plat completely over-the-top ?a it seemed to lose LV?¡¥s sophistication from the cherry tree. However, Megs immediately fell in love with the $355 Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires for two main reasons: first off, instead of taking out of the classic monogram that everybody seeks, the cherry only added a zing to make the pochette unique, and secondly the cherry came just over time to include a spring fling for an unwavering Louis Vuitton simple-style. Aside from this new Monogram Cerises line, the store seemed somewhat smaller than average showed a substantial target travel gear, like the Annette travel bag we previously featured. You imagine you are paying a whole lot for Louis bags in the usa? Due to the lousy exchange rate, investing in a bag in the usa is really a bargain, since you?¡¥d pay 25-35% more in Germany.

Birkin and Kelly Bag Saving the most effective for last, then we set foot into none other than the creme-de-la-creme Hermes Kelly store. Although my girl was dying to buy a bag, she couldn?¡¥t ?a for obvious reasons. What's remarkable about it store was the general sense of the sophisticated and high-class ambiance. Within the two floors, we did look into the vast selection of one-of-a-kind couture clothing and accessories, which range from ashtrays to jewlery and beach towels. For a mere $450 you may get the towel wet, sandy, drained in sunscreen and splattered with seagull droppings.

The same as Samantha about the infamous Hermes Birkin Bag search episode on Sex And The City, my girl immediately scoped the hardware to find out personally the bag that even those people who are famous and rich are only aware of purchase. To our disappointment, the Birkin Bag really is that rare and you also go about doing should be place on a waiting list if you?¡¥re approved to buy one. We still fell fond of the birkin Kelly Bag, that went for a modest EUR 14,000 ?a gasp. Like Samantha, we felt empty minus the Birkin Bag, but Hermes still was able to impress us and prove that they're in a league that belongs to them.

On a side note, we did come upon a nearby aution house, that happened to sell 100% authentically fake Gucci bags for any mere 15 Euros a pop, leaving us extremely inclined to buy all five of ??em. Just kidding.

Overall there were enjoyable doing what we do best ?a searching for the handbags that leave every shoulder unempty, every wallet just a little lighter every girl happy. Stay tuned for more for next week? I report from Paris, the style capitol on the planet.
