I saw a gold hippo lock today at the store and it was super cute!!! Too bad they didn't have it palladium. I'd like one to complement my fuschia kelly... since I don't have a birkin, yet!
The Hippo cadena is really cute! I have it in palladium. I usually hang it on my bag. Sometimes I'd wear it with an Hermes leather necklace in black box leather.
Every year they pick a theme and call it the year of the whatever.
2006 is the year of Paris or something and it's a ship - for some historical reason that I can't remember now!!
