Oh, by that, I meant my shopping ban.
I've poked in the boutiques in the past, to get some scarves and gifts but never considered myself, with somewhat unconventional taste, as a candidate for a H fan. I like fun, quirky & girly things and to me, ever since very young, Hermes products seemed just a tad too masculine except for the silks. However, I guess it's all about to change now since this is my first reveal in this forum!
It all started in January, when I had to drop by the nearest LV to resolve a problem of overcharge. There's a fairly good sized Hermes on the way and I decided to pop in. All of a sudden, I was wondering when and if they do winter sale like other brands and voila. I was there at the right moment since it was the first day of their sale.
I went straight to the silks and started to skim through the scarves. And decided to go ahead with this scarf, based solely on the fact how the print resembles the illustration on the cover of a book I own, by Jorge Luis Borges.
Of course I guessed the print is related to Indian culture. How can one miss that? It's just the style of how the tigers are illustrated that made me think of the book.
I actually saw this exact scarf at NY sample sale yesterday. But I think I paid either the same price or maybe even less.
Second item from that January sale is this mini mini post it holder.
I think this was the cheapest Hermes item I ever bought, lol! And it's perfect for me because I always wish I had post its with me and then keep forgetting to bring a pad of it.
I'm still learning things around here at H forum, so have no idea what the leather or color for this is called though.
Item number three is in much brighter color!
I'm not sure if these little pouches are still made, but it's called Vespa and it expand/opens like so...
I'm sure you guys didn't miss that pile of orange boxes behind my lil yellow pouch? More pics are coming!
