I say this with NO INTENT of insulting ANYONE who owns one. MIL and I were looking at one over the weekend and she said to me "That looks just like the old feedbags at Simon's stable" (our family owns horses and BIL trains/competes, so...). I looked at it and it did remind me of a picture out of an old Black Beauty book. Knowing the history of Hermes, is this an intentional design? We are both curious.:shame:
