[bags to die for]

Might be of some interest...

From last week's Sunday Life magazine (Sydney Sun Herald newspaper). It does not mention the size or the colour.

I worked out the inflation rate using the numbers shown and it was 5.1%pa. The historic US CPI rate over the same period was 3.2% pa. So, if they inflated the bag by the US CPI rate instead of the H magic inflation rate, the bag would have been worth $2,455.

This H mention is not 'sis boom bah, rah rah rah' but it is 'rawther' (said a la Eloise) thought-provoking...

(side note: IIRC, Eloise goes to H in this one)


...From the book The Emperor of Scent by Chandler Burr

"...What the French consider 'chic' is actually a sort of kept-woman vulgarity." He looked very grim, then
permitted himself to pronounce "Hermès" and then "Vuitton." "Caron, on the other hand," he said,
brightening, "is absolutely proper, proper chic." And what is that? He laughed, thought about it, said
"um" and "oh God." "Chic is, first, when you don't have to prove you have money, either because you have
a lot and it doesn't matter or because you don't have any and it doesn't matter. Chic is not
aspirational."

He sighed, despondent. "Chic is the most impossible thing to define. Luxury is a
humorless thing, largely, and when humor happens in luxury it happens involuntarily. Chic is all about
humor. Which means chic is about intelligence. And there has to be oddness-most luxury is conformist,
and chic cannot be. Chic must be polite and not incommode others, but within that it can be as weird as it wants..."
