Ode to Hermes Poncho

I swear, purseforum is so enabling! I'm in Hawaii on vacation and stopped by the local Hermes and thought well this poncho thing seems to have really taken off so why don't I try one on? Btw, the hawaii stores have plenty of Rocabars if anyone's looking...although I saw they're also available on the website now too. Alas, the red and yellow one just doesn't look that great on me.

However, there was a gorgeous black poncho on display! Does anyone know the name of this? I didn't get to try it on but it looked amazing on the mannequin. The price though was $5K...eeks!!! Unfortunately out of budget for a poncho.

Nevermind! Found it on the website. It's called Brandebourg. So gorgeous!

P.s. My 8 yr old son is NOT used to this look at all and asked me if it was "pajama day" at work. I asked why. He looked at me and said "that thing looks like you're wearing pajamas Mommy". Be prepared for this reacttion :giggles:

Oh my GOD...hysterical IF!!! Out of the mouths of babes, as they say!! I bet you look incredible in it, and I truly appreciate your honest reviews of it. Can't wait to see your photos when the app starts behaving itself!
 
DA Club, my SA convinced me to try this on in the store the other day, and it was drop-dead gorgeous, but when I asked her the price (well over $6,000 CAD), I said "take it off...take it off!!" But I can attest to the fact that it is a very chic piece.
Haha! I had an identical reaction.:p

I tried this on and it is seriously gorgeous. It has a beautiful drape and is much more tailored than the poncho, which is a casual piece. The cape is very elegant.

Well now knowing that it was so gorgeous on you two ladies, I will definitely NOT be trying it on! My wallet can't take it and I know I'm just going to fall in love with it! :p
 
DA Club, did the Hawaii store(s) have the Rocabar in Bleu de Prusse (peacock/teal blue)? I am getting the mustard but the BdP would be my first choice. . . .

Mindi, perhaps you could ask your SA to do a search. My SA told me there were a number of Blue cws showing up in the system, but I was looking for a different cw, so I don't know if it was the Rocabar or the Alamo. The boutiques are still receiving fall shipments, so more should arrive before the holidays.

Thank you, Monceau. My SA did so, and reported no blue in the Rocabar available, so I will assume the blues your SA is seeing are the Alamo, or perhaps the grey/dark blue colorway in the Rocabar (I'm not sure how that is coded). But H inventories are unpredictable, so I'd still appreciate any concrete sightings/intelligence on the Bleu de Prusse Rocabar! Never say die!
 
Ok ladies.... herrrrrrre weeeee goooooo :happydance:
Hope u like...
