Hermes Spring 2009

Woo wee ... Can't wait to see the Shoulder Kelly and JPG Birkin II. It's great that Hermes decide to reduce the length! I find the early version is a tad too long.

My SA told me about the new shoulder birkin a few months ago so I was disappointed that we didnt see any examples on the runway. What gives?

^^ I think they want to keep it as a surprise.

Looking forward to the new JPG Birkin II - seems like they are listening to their clients' opinions on some of these pieces.

I loved the color palette of this collection but hate fringe. Always have and always will.

pursenality, if you're refering to the JPG Birkin II, I think trama turgo mentioned H is reducing the width not the length. If I am not wrong, it will still be 42cm. trama turgo??

I am sorry if this is a bit off topic, but what is the difference between the HAC style closure and the Birkin closure?

with the HAC closure (on the jpg birkin and the larger hacs) you will have a visible plate underneath the enclosed strapguides + with the newer models and some vintage ones a square turnkey
