Love, love, love Hermès evening bags–almost, dare I say, more than their day bags. I find them to be terribly chic and luxe, but at the same time utilitarian and virtuous to the brand. Hermès evening bags are great–if you can afford their prices–because they almost always echo a silhouette of one of their more classic counterparts. Take Hermès addict Renée Zellweger’s Kelly Cut clutch, for example: as the name implies, it’s like someone took a Kelly bag and cut 75% of it off. Voila! I love how the workings of the Kelly bag are kept intact–the turn closure, the dual leather straps–while the top handle has been shrunken down and made collapsible for storage. Renée looks fabulous with her clutch; it’s complements her silhouette nicely and I love that her Louboutins are of a similar shade of brown. I can’t say enough good things about Hermès clutches. They’re seriously like a Lay’s potato chip: ONE IS NEVER ENOUGH!
Approximately $4,200, available at Hermès boutiques or 800-441-4488
Jim, I couldn’t agree more with your review. I find Hermes evening bags especially the Longue, Cut and Pochette to be the epitome of sophistication. BTW, I have to say that I love your reading reviews. You have a way of drawing your readers in. Always gracious but sincere and honest without fail.
Love,love,loving it!!
Very nice, almost too chic for today’s casual take on evenings out, but nevertheless elegant.
It’s very ladylike. I love it.
Jim, I totally agree with ya!! Hermes Kelly Cut and Kelly pochette are my favorite bags. Did u see the limited edition Kelly Cut at Haute Gallery website? Absolutely stunning!! Where is my money tree?
Beautiful, thank you. I agree that Jim writes wonderful reviews.
Jim’s reviews are better than Tina’s for sure. Tina just seems to be too blinded by pricey yet ugly looking bags.
