Thank you GT, Susi, MrsS, and Binky for your compliments on la gris, she is very happy!
GreenTea dont really want to push you into Clemence but as an example of the haute couture that is Hermes, I just checked the date stamp on Mme Brique. She is a Z in a circle even more than I remembered, I bought her when Hermes was still on 57th Street in New York, this means she is 11 years old I think! Well I took a shot for you from an angle just to show you the degree of slouch over the years, she is pretty empty, just wallet and a few things in the bottom. She looks great! Gota love that workmanship, even tho I am careful with my bags!
