Hermes Windows Around the World MASTER THREAD!!!

[gina_b]

Oh Perja! I LOVE those windows -- much prefer the Parisian window design to these in London, but oh well. FWIW, here are the London windows.

New Bond Street, yesterday morning:

Sloane Street, last evening:

(sorry about the reflection -- sometimes London can be sunnier than you'd expect)

And finally, Heathrow (T4) this morning:

Is it just me, or is there much more whimsy in the Parisian designs than almost anywhere else?

Oh well. Either way, I suppose it's the quality of the goodies inside that counts!

Love these pics! Thanks Perja and Gina! How creative is that George V store!!

The George V is my favourite these days. I have another picture somewhere of a special Picotin from the previous windows (with roses!)

Thanks for the photos Gina.

Strangely enough, I really like the Bond St store windows.

hello, the strap you have is shorter, eh? they come with diff. length strap? or did you have to order a diff. strap separately??

PazT, sorry I just saw your post. Mine is an older model, that could be the explanation for the shorter strap. I very much like the shorter strap because with me the bag sits just right. I don't like it when they bounce up and down on your hips when you walk.

Don't you have the two straps? There is a longer and a shorter one. The shorter is the one featured in the picture of CBK that was on the board in another thread... It's perfect to use as a dressier bag. I don't like the longer one, it makes it a bit too long even for me (I'm quite tall) and it bounces off my bum.

Hi Perja, I only have the shorter one (bought it used). I am happy with it as - like you - I don't like things bouncing off my bum (my bum bouncing by itself is bad enough as it is ) and I don't wear my bags messenger-style (my boobs look humungous if I do).
If I wanted it shorter I would half the strap and tie a twilly.

Thank you everybody for the photos! They're so so so lovely!!!!

Thanks for the windows everyone. I love seeing the contrast in decorating styles from around the world.

Gina, I would agree that Paris's windows are the most whimsical, but they have resources available that no other store has. Leila Menchari has been doing the windows for decades at the mothership and she has the ability to order whatever bag, in whatever color, and whatever fabric for the windows. Some of the bags she's created have been otherworldly creations.
