River Island does Hermes!

Okay not literally, but almost!

A favourite of Hollywood superstars such as Victoria Beckham, the Olsens, Nicki Hilton and fashionista Olivia Palermo to name but a few, Hermes is renowned for it's handmade luggage and handbags. A favourite of mine, the "Kelly" bag takes about 18 - 24 hours to make usually by a craftsman who has been in the company for several decades.

With a year long waiting list and 100,000 price tag you could imagine my delight when, whilst browsing through River Island's latest A/W collection I discovered their "Oversized Padlock Bag" - it was like Christmas had come early! At £50.00 / 65.00, it's a steal as not only will it be a must have for the coming season, it's also a classic piece that never really goes out of fashion - Win!
