When a lot of people think of Hermes, they think of the sought after Birkin and Kelly, but the brand uses so lots of a lot more bags. often when I want to go off to dream world, I dive into the Hermes web site because it’s one of the best-designed and a lot of fun and interactive sites any luxury merchant has put together. While playing on it today, I ran into an inviting look at the Hermes Berline Bag as a slew of them swayed from side to side while bells play in the background.
But enough about their website, let’s go over the bag, shall we?
Some people might think the Berline Bag is brand new, but it first appeared for fall 2011. The bag looks like a a lot more casual and sporty version of the Hermes Jypsiere. The main difference from its sibling bag is the strap is shorter, so the bag can be worn as a carry bag with a smaller under-arm drop. Also, the front of the bag features an interesting and sporty quilted leather pattern. While every account I’ve read of people seeing this bag in person is positive, lots of say they had a hard time pulling the bag off. I would say majority of the reason is the short strap, because with a bag this shape it would be ideal to wear crossbody. The price is about $7,150 and the Berline comes in Swift leather (a smooth and resilient leather).
