Tosca, Grand Fonds - this thread is dedicated to the two of you.

I read the entire comic book yesterday night. It's basically a history of hermes. The author interviewed Dumas (current CEO) during his business trips to Japan for an accurate portrail. This book begins with the origin of Hermes, debut of various product ranges, difficulties through the war, etc.

Here's a selection from the book.

Tokyo girl - You have to read it. Your Japanese is much better than mine. BTW, did you see how the illustrator managed to put Patina on Grace Kelly's Bag. I just love those little details.
