Hermes: Air-MES(z), (S sound is a combo of s and z.)

Colors:

Potiron - Poh-tee-RAW(n) (very subtle n sound as the final syllable)
Rouge Vif - Rooge Veeef
Thalassa - Ta-LAW-suh
Vert Anis - Vair aNEE
Marron Fonce - MA-rone FONsay
Ebene - E-Bain
Cyclamen - See-cla-mon(n)

Bag/Accessory names:

Picotin - Peek-oh-ta(n) - very subtle n
Haut au Courroies - Oa(t) Oh-Kuh-wah. (Courroies is said quickly, almost like KWAH) This, imo, is the trickiest of them all!
Bearn - Bairn
Jige - Jeege (soft g sound at the end)

Leather names:

Chevre - Shev"ruh" (VERY subtle ruh sound at the end)
Clemence - Cle-MAWNCE
Fjord - Feeyord (one syllable)
Vache Liagee - Vaash Liajay (Liagee is said very quickly)

I was reading that and I was wondering if you were trying to say these in French... I am from France and am a French citizen. I just want to let you know that if you want to say these like French, most are wrong!

Wonderful! A native speaker from France. That would be some real help. It would be great if you could help out.
