Hermes - Take Two
If you read my blog entry from early October, you remember that I had a Julia Roberts moment at Hermes in Virginia.  Well, I stopped by the Hermes in King of Prussia tonight.  There were actually people in there who looked like the could afford to shop there.  However, I did find a friendly sales associate.  So, I asked....I pointed to a cute, little, lime green purse and asked how much.  Any idea?  I was prepared for two thousand.  No, I was VERY wrong.  The price was just north of five thousand.  Five thousand dollars!  I wasn't prepared for that then gasped.  She explained that they're handstitched and that some other, less ornate, purses are a few thousand cheaper.  So, I found a simpler, orange bag and asked...that one was just north of four thousand.  Well, it will be awhile before I can afford one - but mark my words - I will own a Hermes bag someday.

OK....think about it....siding on your house or a WAY too expensive purse. Think, Kristin, think....Julie B.
What does a $5K purse do? I mean, if it does the dishes or cleans windows, it might be worth it. But if it just holds your stuff well... if I had $5K to throw around I think I'd feel better donating it to charity than to those Hermes snobs. :)
