No worries everyone. it is good to see a "limited edition" anything dedicated to my beloved home town, but honestly i am not sure why some one would pay the extra two grand to get them from a reseller (no offense to the reseller!), it seems at that price point, there are plenty of them left floating around in the botiques. I suppose if i was to get one, i might as well get them from the boutique and enjoy the whole H experience.
BTW, if anyone is interested, Hermes is hosting a leather exhibition in Shanghai from the 5th Sep to 31st Oct, in Huaihai Road, (sewing time?), apparently the SA mentioned that there will be craftsmen on site to show how the bag is made or something like that ( i couldnt fully understand him....). you will need vip tickets in order to enter the exhibition, but the tickets are free and just sitting on counters in Hermes boutiques (the SA shoved a bunch of them right into my hand, literally! ). so if anyone is interested and in Shanghai, do go and enjoy yourselves!
OK, I just had time to look through the booklet on the leather exhibition, and it seems it is a MUST SEE for hermes fanatics!!
the exhibition is divided into 8 sections, each section dedicated to a different topic.in the welcome area, a selection of trunks and travel bags (most made from barenia leather )will be on display along with the citroen 2CV car.also on display will be some ready to wear made of croc skin from 2004, designed by Gaultier, the centre piece being a HUGE kelly bag!
in the first section, the leather library, a array of leather goods will be on display, from small leather goods, right through to bags, ulysse, carmen, paris bombay, kelly cut, kelly danse, trim, evelyne, just to name a few!
the second section, ladies handbags, a selection of vintage and new handbags will be shown, including a 1954 black box piano bag, 1938 black box verrou clutch once owned by Ultra Violet, 1950 gold box brio bag, 1937 hermes rogue box 368 bag. and the list goes on!
the third section, the first customer-horse, a selection of bags and accesesorries associated with the long histroy of horses are displayed, which includes a HAC made from barenia and canvas once owned by Humpehrey Bogart, riding boots, Evelynes, Picotins, Mangeoires.

Here is a picture of the cell phone-sized birkin.
Although the thread for Spring 2011 was deleted, I REALLY hope that one of our wizards will be able to post all the pictures soon!

^OMG! Is that for real!? I was just whining earlier today that I love Hermes but wish they made a small cross-body like bag, kind of like the Chanel mini flap or WOC. Wonder how much it'll be?
