Hermes Beach Bag

Megs · May 17th, 2007, 04:01 PM

For many, the holy grail of handbags is the Hermes Birkin, a highly coveted, highly sought after, and hard to get bag. Another reason the Birkin is so exclusive is the price. Because let's face it, how many people actually want to spend over $7,000 (or upwards of $140,000 for a diamond encrusted Birkin) for a leather handbag? Granted you may want to, but does your significant other, bank account, etc? For most of us, no. If you are in dire need of getting your hands on a piece of Hermes, there is always the ridiculously overpriced Hermes Beach Bag. Available to order online, the Hermes Beach Bag is available in turquoise, white, yellow, or black and is strictly made of cotton. Fling it on your back and head to the beach in style. Though, I guarantee you will not feel that Hermes aura carrying this bag like you would carrying a Birkin. And even worse is the fact that you would be dishing out $800 on a cotton beach bag merely for the name. Again, if you are swimming in money a-la-Ducktales or you just really are some sort of over-the-top Hermes fanatic, then this bag is for you. If you rather put a nice chunk of money towards a designer leather bag that is much more practical, than join my club. So no worries mom, dad and all other super practical people in my life; I will not be buying this bag anytime soon. But if this is for you, more power to you, buy a Hermes Beach Bag via Hermes for $850.

Um, not for me, thanks!

I guess if I were a multi-millionaire, spending $800 on a beach bag would be no big deal...

i think just to "own" a Hermes, it's not THAT ridiculous of a price. it's painful for a canvas bag or whatever it is, but some people love the name so much they'd buy something like this just to own it!

ME? i'd never.

Ducktales! Omg, I miss that show. I used to love it. I have the theme song to it playing in my head now, "Ducktales...woo-oo-oo!" (yes, I'm a dork). *L*

That seems like an awful lot of money to spend on something that looks like it came from Target or Old Navy. It's cute, and I like the bright turquoise, but that amount of money is..wow. For that much I would expect it to look a lot more original and it should be made out of much nicer materials. But if it was, then I guess it wouldn't be a beach bag.

ASHMO · May 18th, 2007, 02:07 AM

haha, yes good description, it does look old navyish, i think its time to get practical and spend our monies on a bag with a little more to it.
Hermes tho...hmmmm....no

kallison · May 18th, 2007, 03:12 AM

it might be different if it had a little 'pop' to it...but it's so plain. i always figure you can have fun with canvas and prints. hmm.

I totally agree and DUCKTALES whoo oo ooo :) I loved loved loved that show, i have thought many times about buying it on dvd :) hehe but im not sure if that would be just nutty

those were my shows! heeh :) (and orig Tennage mutant ninja turtles!!!)

power to the late 80's-very early 90s cartoons

ok back to crazy $$ beach bags :)

chanelbaby · May 18th, 2007, 04:37 AM

No way for that bag.
Athough I did pay $$$$ for a Chanel Patchwork quilt flapbag, I think it just has more going on then this beach bag.

mellecyn · May 18th, 2007, 07:03 AM

If they wanted to make an "accessible" price tag Hermes, they probably should have put the "Hermes" logo on it ??? KWIM ? pa lot of people would think well I put that much in a beach bag, better know it's Hermes !
Or I managed to get an Hermes, better know it's Hermes! I just don't see the discrete chic lady sporting that one anyways...not a classy style.

gacats · May 18th, 2007, 07:26 AM

Boring & way too expensive.

Mathilde · May 18th, 2007, 07:32 AM

Hi!
I have one in blue.
I got it in Paris, It's much bigger in reality.
I'm going to use it when we go to Juan les Pins next month,I am just so tired of Pucci beach bags.
I'm just really happy with mine.
And by the way it comes in more colours.

ValleyO · May 18th, 2007, 09:42 AM

It's nice, but I don't see why it's $300 more than last year's beach totes.

chloehandbags · May 18th, 2007, 12:07 PM

Apart from some of the scarves, which I love, I just don't 'get' Hermes, personally.

Give me BV any day.

I don't want to take this too OT but I did want to respond just once. Yeah babee! I miss all those shows. Those were my cartoons! I wish they were still around for kids to watch today.
