MANILA, Philippines - How do you bag a fashion jewel? Or simply put, how do you create a jewel inspired by iconic bags such as the Kelly and Birkin ?
Hermes, the creator of the world's most desired bags, explains how it created a whole new collection of Haute Bijouterie:
“First, take the history of a house: Hermes. Be inspired by its past, its present, its future, its treasures and its passions and by the timelessness called eternity. Take materials, noble materials, where you find them, at the heart of nature, deeply veined in the earth. Rose gold, white gold, diamonds, stones and metals so precious. Take artisans, workers of silver and gold, their touch, their dexterity, their vision, and their willing tools. Take a sheet of paper, a pencil, ideas, the forms that well up in the imagination of a designer: Pierre Hardy.
“Miniaturize but do not minimize. Magnify, transfigure bags, beloved historical icons. Metamorphose them into jewels: Kelly, Birkin, Nausicaa.Weave meshes of rose gold and white gold studded with diamonds, Create a new sac-bijou.”
In the Philippines, Hermes is exclusively available at the Hermes shop in Greenbelt 4 with telephone number 757-8910.
