The media wants to make a story. It's relationship to the truth is always debatable. But it was a fun clip to watch. Claude is a consummate gentleman--so gracious.

Wow very impressive! I like craft works, she did an amazing job!

Luccibag · May 3rd, 2009, 03:05 PM

ooh, that was disturbing to me! haha.

Liberté · May 3rd, 2009, 03:09 PM

I think she did a great job! Obiously the stitching and leather quality is not the same but her proportions are really right on.

You guys should wtch the one on Louboutin shoe too.

crochetbella · May 3rd, 2009, 03:10 PM

Claude and the H staff were so nice.

I saw the one with the Louboutin shoes too but at least they acknowledged the louboutin was truly much better quality (after slicing into it yipes!) Claude saying it was a very good job, and SA's as well kind of disturbed me lol. Im sure he was being gracious, as he is such a sweet guy.

Neatly done. If I made my own, I wouldn't pass it off as the real thing. I'd say I made it and I'm proud of making it. But I don't have the time or the tools to even try this right now and I'm sure that the leathers that Hermes used accounts to part of the pricey price tag.

hmm disturbing!!!!!!

I think it was more obious with the Louboutin (I was waiting for them to do that from the start when I saw those awful plastic soles! LOL) because they did that. They never really mentioned that the technique used on at leat the kelly bag is one that takes some years to master and that initiates strat out with belts small leather goods etc to master it. Her stitching seemed to be done by a singer. =P

Wow. That was interesting. I do not want to show this video to my hubby since he'll probably ask me again "How much is it again to make one bag?" He's not a fan of buying expensive bags. He said buying one won't change you, only your bank account less that it should be. HE DOESN'T GET IT. PERIOD.

Stella Fleuret · May 3rd, 2009, 04:30 PM

HER-Mez? I never knew Hermes was actually pronounced like that! Interesting!!

I'm absolutely shocked that the Kelly costs $35K! And a 3 year-long waitlist. But that lady did a pretty good job, though. I applaud her!

Kallie Girl · May 3rd, 2009, 04:59 PM

Why was this moved from the H forum? If this isn't H, then I don't know what is. (Seems like the title should have been $35,000 "Kelly" rather than "handbag" .....)

Bag-terfly · May 3rd, 2009, 04:59 PM

Interesting, but a little disturbing, too. However, I'm pretty impressed with her homemade one. This wouldn't be a project that I would dare to try on my own, since I could barely hemmed my pants correctly, so for sure, I wouldn't want to carry around a deformed looking Kelly.
