Hello loves,
I’ve had a lot of free time today so my thoughts and imagination were all over the place. “What if’s” were today’s thoughts du jour and one of them pertaining to Hermès.
The birkin and the kelly are such iconic pieces with iconic histories. I was just wondering, what if Jane Birkin missed her flight from Paris to London? Would we all be toting around in HACs? Or would the popularity of HAC be any less than it is now? Maybe the name of Hermès would be mostly known for solely the Kelly? Who knows? Also, what if Alfred Hitchcock didn’t allow Edith Head to purchase Hermès items for To Catch a Thief then Princess Grace Kelly wouldn’t have had the chance to fall in love with the bag hence, foregoing the fate of using the bag to cover her baby bump in 1956? Would the sac a depeches be as popular today? I don’t know. I can’t imagine how fashion and style would be today without these two iconic pieces that we obsess over.
Now, WHAT IF, we had to forego one of these iconic histories and choose between just Grace Kelly falling in love with the bag or Jane Birkin sitting next to Mr. Dumas to London. Which story would you choose to KEEP in this world of fashion we live in? The Birkin or the Kelly?
Would be fun to also hear your presumptions of today’s Sac du jour if one of these iconic rendezvous didn’t happen at all!
XOXO,
