The Spotlight’s On….Hermes Forever

Confession: It slightly upsets me when people complain about the price of luxury handbags. As a textile graduate I know the work that goes into a piece of that magnitude. The inspiration, details and composition can take YEARS to collate and enter the wardrobes of lucky ladies. Legacy is a huge part of what makes a luxury brand….years of talent and creativity summed into one word.

In this case, the brand on our lips is Hermes. They are celebrating their 175th anniversary with the new exhibition ‘Hermes Leather Forever’. We will get to see items from their archive as well as seeing interactive demonstrations of the Hermes Team creating some of thier most popular pieces! I love when culture and fashion meet!

The Spotlight’s On…Enamelled Accessories

One of the biggest trends at the moment is enamelled accessories. I reckon it started with the likes of Hermes and Frey Wille…and it’s slowly trickled down to the high street. It’s a great way to add a pop of colour to a neutral outfit or add to  an already bright one!
