"As Mitchells/Richards celebrates its 50th year in business, we salute the golden anniversary of another fashion icon, a quintessential symbol of quality and style.
At Hermes, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Trim handbag.
True to the Hermes heritage of creating saddles of the finest leather, the Trim design is derived from the "picnic bag" of carriage horses, a flat pouch of hay draped around the horse's neck. How ironic that this very pragmatic invention has evolved into a luxurious accessory draped over the arms of fashionable women around the globe. Recognized for its simple and practical shoulder-strap design, its superior leather, impeccable craftsmanship and playful femininity, the Trim is now available in a spectrum of new colors and proportions.
Among the many emblematic designs that Hermes has crafted over the years, the Trim can be considered an idiom of our times, a symbolic dialogue between past and present. Since its inception 50 years ago, the Trim, favored by Jaqueline Kennedy-Onassis, continues to assert the character and lifestyle of la femme moderne."

Julide - you are so sweet! thank you.
i guess the major pieces - a wallet, sunglasses, lipstick, cell phone and keys? i assume that trim 1 requires one to be more minimalist.... otherwise in addition to that i generally carry a kindle, a GM karo, a roll up nylon bag, a change purse, a water bottle, and so forth
however, sometimes i just like a grab and go, and my other bags tempt me to carry too muchis your trim 1 a 31 or 35?
