Hermès | Designer Review

Friday, 13 March 2020

At Designer Exchange, we love Hermès. It is the epitome of luxury, exclusivity, and is often seen as the ultimate status symbol. The Birkin as well as the Kelly are seen in the fashion world as ‘dream bags’, or 'It' bags.

The iconic Birkin bag - originally named after Jane Birkin - was first imagined in 1981 when the CEO of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, was seated next to Ms Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. Ms Birkin had just placed her straw travelling bag in the overhead compartment; the contents of which soon fell out to the ground. She explained to Dumas that it had proven difficult to find a leather travel bag which she liked. After discussing this at length together, it was on that very flight that idea of the Birkin bag was initially brought to life.

Some customers fly all over the world to acquire pieces; some remain on a waiting list, hoping they will get a call from a sales assistant sooner rather than later. At Designer Exchange, we don't think you should have to wait. If you want a Hermès then simply visit us.

According to sources, Hermès have banished their famous waiting list. However, the Birkin and Kelly bags still prove as hard to procure as ever.

There are so many leathers, sizes and colours to choose from; the colour chart is vast to say the least. Do you want a size 30 or 35? Do you prefer Epsom leather or Togo - perhaps Chevre? Then there is the hardware: Palladium or gold, or something more unique, such as the stylish diamond cross hatching of the guilloche design?

At Designer Exchange, we have one of the largest collections of Hermès pieces for sale in the UK. We stock everything from belts and small leather goods, to canvas Hermès bags, as well as other desirable pieces, such as the 'Her Bag' and the 'Garden Party' bag. And we do, of course, have a stunning collection of the Birkin and Kelly bags.

We want everyone to be able to afford a piece of luxury. No longer is the Birkin and Kelly something only some people who know someone in Hermès can have.
