Hermes Sample Sale!

hermes belt orange.jpgMorning. Did you know there’s an Hermes sample sale starting tomorrow? About as rare as a baby snow leopard in the open, but yes, it’s true:

Where: Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 West 18th Street, between Sixth and Seventh, 4th floor.

When: Wed (tomorrow!), 10am - 6pm; Thurs, 10am - 8pm; Fri, 10am - 6pm; Sat, 10am - 6pm, Sun, 10am - 6pm.

Why: (please fill in)

Go.

are you new to new york? this isn't rare -- it happens every year, around the same time of year, and has been happening for several years.

speaking of hermes, how 'bout that birkin on lily van der woodsen's arm last night when she went to visit rufus at the gallery? so fitting it's almost predictable, but in the best way possible, right?

I've been to the Hermes sample sale a few times..never at the very beginning but in the middle of the sale...always end up lining up for 45-50 minutes, never much to buy (alot of home accessories, ties & scarves, clothing)..definitely NO belts.

and every year I hear the same story of the first few people who make it through the fracas pick up a (birkin, kelly or lindy)....hah

The only bags I ever see are the Garden party totes (those canvas things) and the herbags..
