Leather clutches ad eveningwear near Angkor Wat-ish place
While the UES suffers from the summer's mass exodus to the Hamptons, Hermès on Madison Avenue and East 62nd Street seems to be celebrating Christmas in July with nativity-like scenes.
Mannequins stand like obelisks among many small scenes of exotic, desert locales and mini-horses come bearing gifts of expensive leather bracelets. Wonder at the apparition of a tropical dish oasis, where a set of teacups and saucers is $330 and beach towels are $510. A caravan of mini camels leaves the land of leather clutches and traverses the sandy landscape to check out the perfume river. All the while, the silk folding bags ($960) have been automated to open and close almost miraculously.
Once all have finished worshiping at the alter of luxury, there is only one universal question: Who in the hell pays $510 for a beach towel?

Paris storefront, taken by my non-H-loving best friend. I'm not sure if this is the Mothership or George V.
This is George V
Not crazy at all! I lost it over the bolides! Does anyone have more info on them or can direct me to a thread???? I must know more!
Thanks for the eye-candy Poshhoney!
Call me crazy, but I kind of like the carpet-print bags:
