It's one thing to say, "Oh, I can totally make that myself!" and another to actually follow through.
We're constantly planning on making pretty jersey dresses and chunky necklaces for summer, though they rarely come to fruition, but we never planned on DIY'ing our own Kelly bag.
Thankfully, Hermes has made it very easy. You can go on their addictive World of Hermès site - seriously, we've spent the past hour watching videos of models in India, coloring in scarves and plotting on how to afford their pretty hair pins - and print out your very own iconic handbag.
Color it in, cut it out, glue it, and just put it on your desk because it's really very tiny.
It's like paper dolls - but better.

Wow. . . in a time when everyone in the world seems to be trying to hop on green/eco bandwagon, this sounds like a gigantic waste of time and a sheet of a paper. . . I mean, I realize it's just a sheet, but what purpose does this thing actually serve? (I suppose you could use it as an envelope). Now Hermes, when you want to blow up that pattern so people can make their own with cloth and actually use it (yeah. . . right, I know). . . then we'll talk.
