Hermès

Anyone here have experience with Hermès? 

I dove down a rabbit hole recently after reading a fascinating article in The New Yorker on this French company. I like that the company is two centuries old, still family-owned and cares deeply about quality. They honor their founding focus on horses with contemporary leather goods (the coveted Birkin bag, obviously) and show equestrian influence on fashion by, for example, incorporating leather harnesses into women's clothing. The company expanded into menswear in 1984 and has a hip new designer for that growing department. Who doesn't want to look French?

Have you ever seen Hermès scarves? Handbags? (Check out this article.)

Oh, and if you want to sound cool, pronounce Hermès the correct way: "air-mess".
